Christopher Cass Releases TO BATHE IN EDEN'S GLORY
by BWW News Desk - November 12, 2015
'To Bathe in Eden's Glory' by Christopher Cass (Copyhouse Press, 2015) has already been dubbed 'The Greatest Novel Ever Written About the Great War' by observers. Cass' epic has been compared to the work of - among others - Ernest Hemingway and Sebastian Faulkes. Now it has won expert plaudits for its realistic depictions of trench warfare - no surprise, given that the novel reflects the author's lifetime's obsession with, and an acknowledged expertise in, the history of the First World War. Copyhouse Press are pleased to reveal that they have had the novel assessed by a professional historian. The expert, who carried out the assessment under conditions of strict anonymity imposed by the norms of academic peer review, is a member of the UK's Royal Historical Society and is an acknowledged expert on the period up to and including the First World War era. According to the expert's report, Cass writes with an authority which is 'indistinguishable from that of a professional historian who specialises in the Great War' while the war poetry, inspired by real examples but penned by Cass himself 'has an authentic feel.' The expert reviewer was 'convinced that Cass had enjoyed privileged access to genuine unpublished material by an unknown soldier-poet' and spent a significant period of time double-checking to ensure that this wasn't the case. Regarding the actual scenes in the trenches, the expert described them as 'astonishing - the most accurate depiction of trench warfare in fiction. Cass has penned the most realistic portrayal of trench warfare in a novel ever. It is a masterclass of factual accuracy transformed to the pages of a literary piece. It passes every imaginable test for determining historical accuracy in a creative milieu - and does so with flying colours.' Christopher Cass is the pen name of musician and producer Chris Baker. Educated at Chelmsford Grammar School, at 18 Chris chose the road over university and spent the next 30 years combining a playing career with production and the business side of music. Once described by Melody Maker as a 'studio guru', he lectured on music business studies at MBS (London) during the late '80s and has written for a number of magazines and periodicals. 'To Bathe In Eden's Glory' is Chris's first novel and reflects a lifetime's obsession with the First World War. Copyhouse Press Ltd is based in London and is a provider of premium publishing services.

Candi Sary Re-Releases of BLACK CROW WHITE LIE
by BWW News Desk - November 11, 2015
Author Candi Sary announces the publication of her coming-of-age novel, 'Black Crow White Lie' (ISBN: 978-0-9967587-2-7), which will be re-released by Blue Mary Books November 11, 2015. The second edition comes in conjunction with the release of the short film based on the novel. 'Black Crow White Lie' was a winner of the 2012 Reader Views Literary Award, first place in the 2013 Dante Rossetti Awards, and first runner-up in the 2012 Eric Hoffer Book Award. In the semifinals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, Publishers Weekly said, 'This is a praiseworthy, poignant work.' Set amid the seedy motels of Hollywood, California, Black Crow White Lie tells the story of Carson Calley. He has a rare and magical gift of healing, a gift which both defines him and threatens to betray him. He lives a transient lifestyle with his alcoholic, fortune-telling mother, Juliette. She nurtures his gift, but her ways are deceptive. She feeds the boy fantastical stories to convince him of his greatness. At fourteen, Carson finally wises up to her lies and his identity is completely shattered. Juliette is too deep in her addiction to help him separate the facts from the fictions, so he looks for answers on the streets of Hollywood. There he finds Faris, a tattoo shop owner, and Casper, a cashier at a head shop. These two unlikely mentors help this troubled yet extraordinary boy find his way to the truth. Chanticleer Book Reviews said, 'Sary succeeds in portraying teen angst without melodrama, in depicting compassion without sentimentality, and in creating a world of characters on the margins of society whose depth and complexity outshine any Hollywood hero.' Foreword Reviews Magazine said, 'Few novelists can arrestingly channel the voice of a neglected fourteen-year-old boy, half street urchin, half spiritual shaman, and emerge with an engaging first-person narrative that doesn't drip with sentimentality or patronize teen culture. Candi Sary can...' Candi Sary graduated from the University of California, Irvine. Before receiving the aforementioned awards for 'Black Crow White Lie,' her previous writing made the finals of several writing competitions, including the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, the Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Awards, and the Dahlonega Literary Festival Novel Contest. She lives in coastal Southern California with her husband and two children. For more information on Candi Sary or Black Crow White Lie, please visit the Blue Mary Books website.
