Norma Burnson Lectures at Chicago Public Library, Donates 940 Books
by BWW News Desk - March 01, 2016
In January, 2016, during the week of Martin Luther King's Birthday, The Chicago Public Library children and patrons had a wonderful time downloading Norma Burnson's second book, 'Sustainable Food for Globe, Everyday People Producing Food in Abundance.' The total number of downloaded books amounted to 940, making it equal to a donation of $6570.00. Mrs. Burnson is a regular visitor to the Clearing Branch of Chicago Public Library, where she enjoys lecturing and reading from her books for members of the Midwest Garden Society. Her second book in the Sustainable Food for the Globe series is doing extremely well. In February, 2016, Norma's book received a review by Dr. David Chalk, d. Tec, LCE, ADE, a renowned business specialist from British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Chalk is acknowledged worldwide as one of the brightest minds on the planet today. In his review, Dr. Chalk stated, 'An eye-opener. An inspirational book by Norma Burnson that offers knowledge and insight on the world and food sustainability. Norma offers much rich information that will change your view on how we can sustain the planet. It is a real treat to read.' In this second volume, Burnson interviews sustainability leaders worldwide who offer a myriad of ways to save the planet through sustainability, using everything from aquaponics to organic community gardens, children's lectures and food-recovery systems. The locales covered span the globe from Pakistan to the UK and, of course, her home base, the US, but the principles and how-to knowledge in the books can be applied anywhere in the world. Mrs. Burnson's third book, 'Sustainable Food for the Globe, Future Pioneers: The Children,' will focus on the many health benefits for children who garden. One of the collaborators, Hunter, is a young autistic boy who found great peace and happiness when gardening. After taking up gardening, Hunter became relaxed enough to actually have long conversations with his parents. 'Ah, Mother Nature is wise,' said Mrs. Burnson. 'All of my books focus on one obvious issue: All living creatures on earth must eat to stay alive. Educating and empowering the future generation is what my third book is all about. I believe it is vital for children to learn about permaculture and organic gardening, how to revitalize the soil and to live sustainably, for they will keep our planet vibrant and alive for centuries to come.' Mrs. Burnson's third book is scheduled for release on Earth Day, 2017. For small peeks at the madness behind the scenes prior to the publication of a book, visit Norma's blog at normaburnson.com.

Leonard Seet to Release MAGNOLIAS IN PARADISE, Fall 2016
by BWW News Desk - February 29, 2016
Excelsior Publishing will be releasing Leonard Seet's latest novel 'Magnolias in Paradise' in Fall 2016. Ernst arrives at the Paradise train station with fifty-thousand dollars to ransom his sweetheart, and while looking among the crowd for the young man with a magnolia, a beggar seizes his bag of cash and escapes through the revolving door. Chasing after the rascal, he slams into his contacthis girlfriend's lover in town. Now, he must beat his love-rival to the money and rescue her before the deadline. 'Magnolias in Paradise' (252 pp., tpb, $14.95) is a 96,000-word crime novel and the first in a potential series. As in Larry Brown's 'Father and Son,' good confronts evil in a southern town. And as in Joe R. Lansdale's 'Cold in July,' an ordinary man gets sucked into a conspiracy, with psychopaths terrorizing a small town and FBI agents going after a corrupt sheriff. In the end, the man must take the law into his hands. But in this case, ending in tragedy. Here, he combined Will Christopher Baer's surreal settings and mentally unstable villains, with Brian Evenson's literary minimalism and heroes cursing their knowledge. 'Leonard Seet brings his intelligence and wit and gifts as a writer to a broader audience in 'Magnolias in Paradise' in a gritty, realistic novel. He uses a narrative style which brings... the perspective of the players in this grim game of hide-and-seek reminiscent of the narrative technique of As I Lay Dying and Charming Billy... Mainstream audiences will appreciate the intelligence of the narrative of this book in this genre, which is so often short-changed by lesser lights just out to make a buck. Seet has reinvented himself as a writer in his evolution from his deeply rich, engaging and inspirational books about spirituality to the rough ride on the mean streets of Magnolias in Paradise... definitely be engaged by this novel.' - David Lentz, author, Bloomsday: the Bostoniad Leonard Seet is the author of the novel 'Meditation On Space-Time' and the non-fiction 'The Spiritual Life.' His articles and short fiction have appeared in the Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, Banana Writers and Pilcrow & Dagger. He learned the art of writing from Brando Skyhorse and Tim Johnston through George Washington University's Jennie McKean Moore Fiction Workshop, which is by application. 'Magnolias in Paradise' will be available in most brick-and-mortar and online bookstores.
