BETWEEN THE WORLD AND US is Released by BWW News Desk
- December 28, 2015 BOSTON, Dec. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Diviacchi Promotions, Inc. announces publication of a controversial new book that is a workingman's response to the book 'Between the World and Me' by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It analyzes the Coates' book as being an example of modern daynonsense about racism that serves more to promote racism by its nonsense categories than to diminish it. This book goes on to argue that polemics on racism miss the true fight as being an economic struggle between working and ruling classes of society and argues further that for an individual not only to defeat the temptation to be a racist individually but to go on to establish a social normative basis to make it an evil requires a realization of Despair in life and then the will to overcome this Despair by accepting a 'SlaveMorality.' The book is available as a paperback and kindle version on Amazon.com.

L.E. Wilson Releases Third Book in Deathless Night Series by BWW News Desk
- December 28, 2015 Publication Date: Saturday 26th December 2015
Title: Blood Obsession (Deathless Night Series#3)
By: L.E. Wilson

In 'Blood Obsession,' vampire Aiden wakes up in an unfamiliar city with no memory of how he'd gotten there, or why. When he happens upon a cheeky witch in distress who is being hunted by creatures he is all too familiar with, Aiden must make a choice: Suppress his fears and be with the girl? Or embrace the truth and save them all?
Grace Moss, a witch with magic that totally sucks, finds herself saying yes to an unexpected offer of aid from a dusty, yet yummy-smelling vampire with a sexy British accent and bright grey eyes that dance with mischief and heat her blood. But something about him makes her skin crawl, even as his touch makes her blood sing, and it's not just the fact that he has fangs. To survive, Grace will have to accept him as he is - into her heart, and into her arms.
L.E. Wilson writes Paranormal Romance novels about intense alpha males and the women who are fearless enough to tame them...for the most part anyway. With high heat levels, loads of suspense, and characters whose personas range from playful and witty to dark and tormented, L.E. is a natural storyteller (in spite of her boring Accounting degree).

Quoting everyone from Pliny the Elder to NASA physicist Friedemann Freund, Pizzorusso's work is solidly backed scholarship that reads as easily as a summer novel.
