S. E. Summa Pens Southern Gothic Horror Novel
by BWW News Desk - February 23, 2016
Local author S. E. Summa is an active PRO member of the Music City Romance Writers (MCRW), the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America. She graduated magna cum laude from Belmont University with a BBA. Growing up in Nashville, S. E. Summa always felt the city's unique culture and landmarks would be the perfect setting for monsters to play. Creating a vast supernatural underbelly and infusing Southern charm with magical realism, she wrote Much of Madness from her home in Smyrna, Tennessee. 'As I was playing tourist downtown one day, I discovered the perfect location for a grisly horror scene,' said the author, 'while standing beneath the radio spire that extends from the ceiling of the Country Music Hall of Fame's rotunda.' 'It was important from day one, that Nashville be an unspoken character throughout this story,' notes Summa, 'Much of Madness' simply couldn't take place in any other city.' Broadway's honky tonks, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a fictional supernatural den of inequity in Printer's Alley, all serve as backdrops for this twisted tale of curses, revenge, and romance. 'Much of Madness' is a Southern Gothic Horror story about loyalty, sacrifice, and maintaining hope no matter the odds. Available on February 29, 2016. S. E. Summa will attend two upcoming signings in Nashville at UTOPiA in June and the Authors at the Opry in September. She will also sign at book events in St. Louis, MO and Frankenmuth, MI in 2016. If you would like more information on 'Much of Madness' or to schedule an interview with Shantele Summa, please call the author directly at 615-337-1598 or email inkmancypress@gmail.com.

Poets' Choice Publishing Presents Elisavietta Ritchie's Twentieth Collection
by BWW News Desk - February 23, 2016
Poets' Choice Publishing is pleased to present Elisavietta Ritchie's twentieth collection, 'Babushka's Beads: A Geography of Genes,' new & selected poems. Paperback 120 Pages $18.95 ISBN 978-0-9909257-74 'Elisavietta Ritchie's rich autobiographical collection of poems leaves you wanting more. Here is a woman who has really lived. This verbal rumination on her heritage, people she loved, family recipes for borscht and cherry vodka, the suffering of her aunt and thousands of others during Russia's Civil War and the Siege of Leningrad, are filled with such exquisite, well-realized detail, a reader is drawn along with the force of a rip tide on a summer afternoon at the beach. It's all simply so interesting. And her conversations with the past and recently dead intrigue us...Here are poems that extol life, sing of its joy, despite the cruelty and entropy that threaten at every turn. Ritchie, whose work is widely published, translated, anthologized and has won a number of awards, is a person you would want to know, some of whose poetry you have here, life seen through her bright, intelligent, compassionate eyes, what poetry does at its best, give heart.' -From the Foreword by Richard Harteis, director, The William Meredith Foundation, Poets' Choice Publishing 'Elisavietta Ritchie's work is original, varied and exciting. The core of her poems is vitality. Grim, joyous, exuberant or erotic, they have a strong and vivid life.' -Josephine Jacobsen, US Poet Laureate, 1971-73 'Elisavietta Ritchie's poetry combines a Byzantine elegance with straight-forward plain style honesty. The extraordinary range of her interests: work, love, sensuality, and man's plight in a forlorn civilization - is reinforced by her exquisite regard for language and lively fascination with the possibilities of form.' -William Packard, late editor New York Quarterly 'Elisavietta Ritchie's Cormorant Beyond the Compost burns with eroticism and life. Reading some of her poems is akin to watching a wick sizzle down on a firecracker, waiting for the pop, the smoke, and final hiss...Whether looking through the scrim into death, or looking back at her own family, I imagine Ritchie to be some mad cheerleader for passion, stealing blackberries, loving a dying friend, or recuperating from a bad mushroom trip, all the while refusing to give up, to be satiated...Life and death. Passion and its opposite, her touchstones...give her voice power; after all 'like fire,/when we no longer burn, we die.' - Scott Whitaker, The Broadkill Review, National Book Critics Circle Poets' Choice Publishing 337 Kitemaug Road Uncasville, CT 06382 MarathonFilm@gmail.com 860-961-5138 Poets-Choice.com www.WilliamMeredithFoundation.org

Halo Publishing Author Miguel Coppedge Meets with President Obama
by BWW News Desk - February 22, 2016
Just like many ten-year old boys, Miguel Coppedge dreams of being a firefighter, an NBA point guard or an author. However, unlike most, Miguel is doing something about making his dreams a reality. Miguel has just published the first in a series of children's books featuring the super hero Kris Schmoove and his best friend Rico G. The boys discover their super powers and together they defeat 'The Destroyer!' 'I really like firefighters and super heroes,' said Miguel Coppedge, who wrote this first book, The Adventures of FireMan (http://halopublishing.com/1a-c/miguel-coppedge.html), when he was only eight years old. 'Superman is my favorite and I wanted to write a story that combined two of my favorite things.' Since writing his first book, Miguel has visited a variety of local churches, schools and daycare centers to read his book. He has visited the local fire station and read his book to two different fire chiefs. 'That was a great experience,' said Miguel. 'I'm afraid of heights but I got to put on a uniform and climb up the really tall ladder. It was awesome.' He is not only a local celebrity but recently had the opportunity to gain a new fan; one of worldwide notoriety. 'Miguel attended the Day of Service at our local Boys and Girls Club and was surprised with a visit from President Obama,' said Yolanda Coppedge, Miguel's proud mother. 'I got to sit by President Obama and even told him a joke,' Miguel shared. 'He laughed! It was great.' Shortly after President Obama's visit, Miguel sent a thank you package to the President and within a matter of weeks received an invitation to visit the White House. Miguel Coppedge took a signed copy of his book The Adventures of FireMan, which is dedicated in part to President Obama, to the White House. President Obama responded with a beautiful thank you note signed, 'Your friend.' 'Miguel has always been a fabulous child,' said his mother. 'When he sets his mind to something, he follows through. I didn't even know he was thinking about writing a story until he came to me one night with a notebook and said Here, Mom, I wrote a book.' 'We are so excited to have Miguel Coppedge as part of the Halo Publishing family,' said Lisa Umina, founder and President of Halo Publishing. 'He is an inspiration and we know that we are witnessing the beginning of his journey as a successful author.' Miguel has already written a sequel to The Adventures of Fireman and hopes to have it available in stores later this year. 'You are never too young to do anything,' Miguel told a group of children at a recent book reading. 'Always follow your dreams no matter what your age.' The Adventures of FireMan (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1612443729?keywords=miguel%20coppedge&qid=1444249282&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1) is available for $20.00. Three dollars from each book is donated to St. Ann's Infant Home (stanns.org) in Hyattsville, MD which is where Miguel lived before being adopted by Yolanda. Signed copies can purchased through his PayPal link - https://www.paypal.me/MiguelCoppedge for $23.00 total ($20 for book $3 for shipping) * Hardcover: 32 pages * Publisher: Halo Publishing International (September 25, 2015) * Language: English * ISBN-10: 1612443729 * ISBN-13: 978-1612443720 * Product Dimensions: 8.5 x 0.2 x 8.5 inches About Miguel Coppedge: Miguel is a 10-year old who loves school and learning new things.

Sales Expert Paul Fornelli Shares SALES READINESS: A TEMPLATE FOR SUCCESS
by BWW News Desk - February 22, 2016
Sales is an ever changing profession and business function, with the tactics and strategies that worked a generation or even a decade ago falling flat today. With a constantly changing business environment, fickle consumer sensibilities, the constant rise and decline of sectors, and a cyclical boom and bust economic cycle, building a resilient sales career that crosses industries relies on a universal set of foundational principles. Rather than focusing on mastering the latest in vogue methodology, sales professionals interested in moving from one industry to working in a field that aligns with their inner purpose and they are truly passionate about – Media & Advertising to Medical, for example -- must be prepared to communicate how those fundamental skills apply to the next job, and how they will hit the ground running on day one.
