A few in my circle of friends read my writings and often challenged my creativity with a topic that might be 'boring': a chair, a mosquito, a car repair shop; and I would take it upon myself to write a story. I started writing 'Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy' in early 2003, at Bangalore in India, after a good acquaintance of mine challenged me to write a short story about someone's peculiar habit of jingling coins in his pocket. As I began writing, I discovered that the topic needed more elaborate treatment. I finished the book in 2007 but had no plans to publish it. Early this year, I decided to dedicate time on the weekends to get the novel published.' About Pawan Mishra: Pawan Mishra is a leader in the technology and finance industries.

International Best-Selling Book Focuses on Empowering Women and Girls
by BWW News Desk - November 15, 2015
Danielle Joworski meticulously takes women through guided reflections using storytelling to invoke them to pick up the breadcrumbs of lost childhood dreams and ideas and re-connect with them and reflect on why they were never acted upon. After emotionally drawing in readers, they are then guided to not only act on their dreams but to become mentors and pass on leadership and life skills and experiences to our youth so that they too are empowered to pursue their dreams and desires. "The ATHENA Prodigies" sets itself apart from other self-help books by its unique and trend-setting incorporation of two distinct parts to the book; one for women to read independently and one for women to read alongside a young girl that they want to support and mentor. The formative impact of "The ATHENA Prodigies" is that is stresses the importance of time spent between women and young girls engaged in deep reflective and honest communication, while building confidence and self-belief. By having women reflect on the lessons learned from their own lives and passing these lessons onto female youth in our society today, young girls can be empowered to pursue their own success, growth and leadership. By being strong and self-assured, women can teach young girls that they can, and deserve, to have equivalent feelings. "The ATHENA Prodigies" offers readers an emotional journey filled with self-reflection and experiential learning. Readers with a desire to empower themselves to pursue a dream or goal that has been relegated to the back shelf of the mind or bottom of the priority list, and who want to empower young girls to believe in themselves and their own dreams will connect with this book. Through the creation of a mentoring dynamic and focusing on increasing the quality time spent between women and girls in reflective conversation, this book can guide readers to learn something new about themselves and each other. Learn more about "The ATHENA Prodigies", how to purchase it on-line or contact the author, Danielle Joworski, by visiting http://www.athenaprodigies.com.

TERROR IN AUSTRALIA Book is Now Available
by BWW News Desk - November 13, 2015
John Stapleton's 'Terror in Australia' is a beautifully written snapshot of a pivotal turning point in the history of the so-called Lucky Country. In 2015 there were well attended Reclaim Australia demonstrations in every major capital city, all protesting what the demonstrators saw as the growing Islami?z?ation of Australia, along with countering anti-racism demonstrations. There were frequent violent clashes, hundreds of police were forced to form lines separating the demonstrators in Sydney and Melbourne, there were a significant number of arrests and injuries, and dozens of people were treated for the effects of capsicum spray. The terror alert was at its highest level in history, the country was engaged in an unpopular and discredited war in Iraq and Syria, and relations between the government and an increasingly radicali?z?ed Muslim minority had broken down.

Retired Secret Service Agent Launches International Thriller
by BWW News Desk - November 12, 2015
During his career, he had been responsible for the security of President William Clinton and managed an international financial crimes task force. Since retiring from the Secret Service in 2001, Mr. Sloan has traveled extensively as a corporate security executive representing Western Union and the New York Stock Exchange. He is a recognized authority on identifying physical security risks and designing programs to protect employees and company assets. Synopsis - An Air Force transport plane, ferrying the president's limousine and scores of Secret Service, Marine, and Air Force personnel, goes missing over Saudi Arabia.

One of those on board happens to be Special Agent Carly Strain, lead investigator in the case against Max. Travelling as a key member of the Secret Service contingent, she also hoped to spend some time with her husband, Coast Guard Commander Will Strain, military attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. Both husband and wife are thrust into the center of this international drama, pitting the Russian mob against America's elite security forces. Sloan is available for interviews and appearances.
