New Children's Book Featuring a Cocker Spaniel is Released by BWW News Desk
- January 26, 2016 What do you get when you combine a fun-loving English cocker spaniel and 26 letters? An amusing guide that features Gracie and her adventures with the alphabet. She stars in a new illustrated children's book released by Dog Ear Publishing.
'The Gracie Guide to Her Really Fun ABCs' begins where the alphabet begins, with the letter 'A' for 'adventure' (and Gracie's birthday month of 'August') and continues through the letter 'Z,' which represents the 'zipper' on travel-veteran Gracie's carrying case. 'Bones,' 'biscuits' and 'belly rubs' star on the page devoted to 'B,' while the letter 'O' features 'octopus' and 'obedience school,' where Gracie learned commands such as heel, sit and stay.
Amusing colored pencil illustrations liven every page with their whimsy as Gracie joyfully celebrates the letters of the alphabet, like 'H,' which holds a special place in her heart. That's thanks to 'home', 'humans' and 'hugs,' words that make her 'happy' - another 'H' word. She even encourages young readers to see how much fun they can have with the alphabet using the first letter of their name or favorite color. The book works for those reading independently as well as for children who enjoy a read-aloud story.
Anne E. Moses has lived in Switzerland, Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom. The author and illustrator was born in the United States, and she and her husband, Bill, who live in Athens, Greece, travel extensively with the ever-intrepid Gracie. Moses has also written the companion book, 'The Gracie Guide to Good Manners for Proper Pooches,' and another illustrated children's bedtime story, 'Gatos Musikos: A Secret Told by the Moon.'
Gracie, an English cocker spaniel, was born in Hungary and has lived in many places. She loves to swim in the sea, play in the snow and go on adventures. The well-traveled pooch plans to help create other Gracie Guides featuring cities around the world.

Best-Selling Author Shares SEARCHING FOR HAPPINESS by BWW News Desk
- January 26, 2016 American advertising companies thrive off the consumer belief that the key to happiness lies in being rich, successful, and beautiful. Many people are convinced that losing weight, getting a job promotion, or purchasing a bigger house, for example, will lead to more happiness. However, a new book by best-selling author Martin Thielen lays these myths to rest, revealing that external circumstances only account for 10 percent of a person's overall life satisfaction. In Searching for Happiness: How Generosity, Faith, and Other Spiritual Habits Can Lead to a Full Life (Westminster John Knox Press), Thielen uses psychological research, anecdotal evidence, and Scripture to outline ten practices that actually can help readers find happiness.

New WWII Thriller MY NAZI NEMESIS is Released by BWW News Desk
- January 26, 2016 MASSAPEQUA, N.Y., Jan 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ With the passing of the greatest generation, fewer and fewer of the great WWII heroes and heroines remain. 'This sad fact,' says author Rich DiSilvio, 'is my impetus to keep this unique chapter of history alive.

It's disturbing how the human will and morals can collapse under dire circumstances.' While Rich has treated this subject before in his non-fictional tome, The Winds of Time, and his fictional thriller, Liszt's Dante Symphony, he has now chosen to entangle the horrors of Auschwitz with a gripping and fast-paced tale that includes suspenseful twists and turns, and his trademark wit and humor, thus making My Nazi Nemesis unlike any other WWII novel.

About the book: Just before the Civil War, in the dark corners of the New Orleans waterfront, Billy Jefferson's dreams are yanked from him before he'd barely walked off the ship from Scotland. In the summer of 1860, America is a tinder box, ready to blow. Issues of states' rights, slavery and regionalism have come to a boiling point. Citizens across the South are willing to fight and die to maintain their Southern way of life. The South is a tough place to be if you disagree with that philosophy. It's especially tough if you are a free person of color or their friends. Billy Jefferson, a young scholar raised on the Texas frontier, now a professor with dreams of teaching freed blacks like himself, returns to America after years of obtaining an education abroad only to disappear upon landing at New Orleans. When Billy fails to return from Europe as scheduled, Will Bowman, Billy's mentor, Texas ranching business partner and surrogate father initiates a search to find and bring him home. Join the continuing saga of the Bowman and Jefferson families as they search for the young man with a vision for his people that will change their lives for generations. Follow the families' at the ranch as the war changes everything around them and makes them outcasts in the state they helped build.
'Freedom Road' is the third book in Dan Vanderburg's Texas Legacy Saga, appropriate for readers 10 years of age to 110. The Texas Legacy Saga tells the stories of the Bowman and Jefferson families in frontier Texas from the Texas Revolution, through the Indian Wars and into the Civil War. 'Each Texas Legacy story stands on its on without needing to read the other books, but as a series, you learn more about the growth of the characters. The stories also hold their own without gratuitous sex or unnecessary bad language,' says Dan Vanderburg. 'I want readers of all ages and walks of life to be able to read and enjoy my books without having to be concerned whether it's inappropriate or graphically offensive.'
