Rick Ley Pens JOLIE ROUGE
by BWW News Desk - December 01, 2015
When four college friends agree to reunite with the fifth member of the 'Fab Five' for a mini-vacation in Florida, they have no idea just how adventurous their lives will become when they are invited to go on a treasure hunt. The friends fear for their lives when a contemporary Caribbean pirate demands the location of a lost treasure, hidden in the far southern reaches of the Bahamas, in Rick Ley's new novel, released by Dog Ear Publishing. 'Jolie Rouge' opens with Captain Bartholomew Roberts on his ship Royal Fortune, a real-life Welsh pirate who terrorized the Americas from Canada to Brazil from 1719-22, nearly shutting down West Indian shipping between Europe and the New World. His story is interspersed with the story of the friends, who get an invitation to fish for more than snapper - a lost pirate's treasure. The excitement begins when they solve a riddle written on Roberts' recently discovered nautical chart and find indication that the treasure may lay within an island cave on Great Inagua Island, but danger looms off the Bahamian coast. Haitian pirates capture the treasure hunters and steal them away to Haiti, where a Voodoo priest begins to transform one of them into a zombie in a mock Vodouist ritual intended to coerce the location of the treasure from the captives. Forced to take their captors back to the treasure, the men fight for their lives to stave off a certain cruel and unceremonious death. Unbeknownst to them all, authorities from three nations are rallied in a desperate search to save the friends before it is too late. Rick Ley works as an independent environmental consultant. He has a degree in geology from Waynesburg College and a master's degree in environmental science from Miami University. He also wrote the novel 'Ghost Creek.' Ley enjoys fishing, hockey and vacationing at a family cabin on the Allegheny River north of Pittsburgh.

Tom Scarda Shares FRANCHISE SAVVY
by BWW News Desk - December 01, 2015
LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Since 2008, the average age for buying a franchise has been creeping up, rising from 42 to 56 in 2015. As Tom Scarda, one of the few officially certified franchise experts in the world, explains, the trend is being fueled by downsized baby boomers or those who have aged out of their jobs but are too young to retire. Finding themselves in a tight job market, these younger boomers may have to choose between taking an undesirable, underpaying job and starting their own business. Many are opting to purchase franchises but not all are doing the research they need to do to make an informed decision, Scarda says.
