Mystic Buddha Publishing House Releases BLUE SKIES BUDDHA
by BWW News Desk - October 22, 2015
This acclaimed biography of the early teaching years of Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz (1950 - 1998) highlights the new age spiritual renaissance of the 1970s and 80s and the founding of an original, deep-rooted movement of American Buddhism. Readers take part in a free-spirited adventure as they witness a wild, sports jock teenager transform into an iconoclastic, innovative spiritual teacher. For Frederick Lenz, boundary breaking was de rigueur as witnessed and reported by the 100+ students and colleagues interviewed by author Liz Lewinson. Meditation, the empowerment of women, and Buddhist wisdom form the core of Dr. Lenz's teachings, which he shared and honed with boundless enthusiasm. He encountered opposition, of course, but he kept his priorities straight. When he visited Nepal at age 19, he encountered an aged monk who informed him he was a lineage bearer. He was to revive and re-establish an ancient school of enlightenment. He was to find his many past life students and help them achieve joyous enlightenment in this life or at least set them securely on the path. He was to do this in the West, using Western means. In the East, centuries-old traditions maintain meditative pathways to enlightenment. In the West, facing a blank canvas, Dr. Lenz found new ways to build mental and meditative prowess through careers such as computer science, visits to American 'places of power,' knowledge about real gender equilibrium (not monastic), movies, music, and dance. He taught these skills to American students and observed their success. Whether you are one of Rama's past life students (or not!), reading this fast-paced biography will bring you new realizations and freedom, and immerse you in a peerless journey of transformation. As a reader you will love Blue Skies Buddha and the journey you go on... Available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other fine retailers: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0982050577 According to Lynn Andrews, Author of the Medicine Woman Series - 'This fascinating biography captures the wisdom of a genuine, compelling teacher who combined absolute miracles with humor, fun and adventure... This is an original and exciting read.' ABOUT THE AUTHOR Author, speaker, technologist and long-time teacher/practitioner of meditation, Liz Lewinson first encountered a young American Buddhist teacher at a classroom at UCLA in the Spring of 1981. Rama's teachings on feminism inspired her to seek out the root causes of feminism and the power of women. Along with her study of Buddhism and meditation, Liz manages complex technology programs for global firms. During the 15 years she spent researching Blue Skies Buddha, she increasingly broadened her understanding and appreciation of Buddhism for the West.

New Book Shares Puppy's Journey of Resiliency During Loss
by BWW News Desk - October 21, 2015
A true collaboration between Kasey Crawford Kellem and her rescued Pit Bull, Belle Eve, teaches kids how to be resilient during loss and hardship. 'Anything is PAWSible if you believe!' This heart-warming story of one dog's trials during one of her owner's journey with cancer and after losing him and rising out of the ashes of despair with a unique outlook and resilient attitude engages readers of all ages. Everything is narrated by Bella Eve herself and based on her actual life story with her owners Craig and Kasey Crawford Kellem. 'The inspiration to write a book with Bella Eve came after I was done writing my adult book: Don't Stop Believing: Our Journey with Cancer,' said Kellem. 'I wanted to inspire and help children to get through loss and heartache. There are many kids who know someone or an animal with cancer, but they do not know how to cope with the experience and have a hard time expressing their feelings about the situation. I felt by writing Bella Eve's story, kids would know they are not alone in these struggles and would gain skills to cope.' Children of all ages will relate easily to Bella Eve and her story of losing her owner to cancer. The book includes information on a wide range of topics from being resilient to not letting go of dreams even in a time of loss, believing and trusting those around, finding joy in life around in hard times to not giving up on loved ones and friends. Each topic is uncovered as Bella Eve and Kasey journey through life during Craig's illness and after his death. The format is designed to resonate with readers of all ages and open conversation about resiliency, hardship and loss. 'The book really allows kids to open up and share their feelings, fears and coping mechanisms,' added Kellem. 'I've even had adults cry and share experiences with me after reading the book.' Those who own dogs know they are far more than just animals; compassionate, intricate souls with deep emotions and thoughts. Kasey Crawford Kellem's rescue Pit Bull fits the description to a tee. In fact, she is such an inspiration that Bella Eve and Kellem have plans to write more books together. 'Kasey is a big believer, teacher and role model of being resilient,' stated Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina. 'Bella Eve also has a motto she shares in her new book, too: 'Anything is PAWSible if You Believe.' This is repeated in the book multiple times, and I hope readers will gain the five skills needed to face adversity with resilience.' Bella Eva and Kasey Crawford Kellem's dream is to inspire people of all ages to live life with happiness, gratitude, courage, faith, and determination despite adversity. They believe!

Annalisa Russo Pens New Romantic Suspense Novel
by BWW News Desk - October 21, 2015
The third book in the romantic suspense series, the Cavelli Angel Saga, by local author involves a deathbed promise that propels two unwilling hearts to risk becoming collateral damage when love faces off with vengeance. In 'Angel Lost, Angel Found,' author Annalisa Russo pits Charity O'Malley against Gabriel Cavelli, the badass, Harley-riding Cavelli brother. Charity is about to break the law of the land in order to follow her dreams. She plans to become a whisper sister when she reopens her father's speakeasy, but Big Mike O'Malley reaches out from the grave to save his recalcitrant daughter from her folly. After he made a deathbed promise to Big Mike, Gabe finds himself responsible for the man's young, educated-out-east daughter and tries to save the unwilling damsel in distress from a crooked Prohibition man. As more threats unravel, old enemies come out of the shadows and force Charity and Gabe to band together against decades old, dark secrets. The historical tale delves into 1926 Chicago and the turbulent times of that post war decade. With captivating characters, a keep-you-guessing plot, and detailed historical information, Russo takes you through a realistic depiction of the life and struggle of her heroine during the period. The Cavellis are a large, hard-working, Italian immigrant family-not unlike Russo's own family as both her maternal and paternal grandparents came to America in the 1920's. 'As a child, I loved to hear stories from my Nonna's era. I have a picture of my grandparents-she's wearing a cloche hat and rolled stockings, and he's wearing the popular straw boater,' says Russo. 'I always thought the 1920's was an interesting and important time for women. We finally got the vote in 1920-after only petitioning Congress for a little over a hundred years. And then hemlines went up and stockings rolled down, brazen witness to the fact the modern woman-gasp-wasn't wearing a corset. The road to equality was a long one and it started back then.' Russo, speaker/lecturer and former English and writing teacher, is in the process of completing her fifth book, the last book in a four-book deal with Wild Rose Press. 'Angel Lost, Angel Found' Pre-Sale Available: http://ow.ly/TjxvA (The Wild Rose Press, $5.99 eBook/ $16.99 print, 360 pages, 5 x 8, paperback, ISBN(S): 978-1-5092-0422-9 paperback and 978-1-5092-0423-6 digital) is available in print or digital at on-line booksellers.
