Marilla Mulwane Launches New YA Fantasy Series by BWW News Desk
- September 10, 2015 Author Marilla Mulwane loves a good fantasy story filled with beautiful creatures and unique worlds, but she's never happy with the characters. 'There is always a hero and a villain in fantasy stories,' the author says. 'There is always good and evil. The good is always good and the evil is always evil. I wanted to create characters who have legitimate reasons for their goals, and whether that makes them good or evil is incredibly difficult to figure out.'
Ilmarinen is the tale of a girl named Altana that can travel to a fantastical world that doesn't allow people to heal each other with medicine. It is ruled over by kings and an immortal god. Altana learns that she is part of a prophecy to save the world from complete destruction. With the help of a ragtag group of misfits, including talking horses and tiny cat people, Altana will travel the world and make a decision to fight or run.
The characters in Ilmarinen all fight or refuse to fight for their own reasons. They cause harm for their own reasons. Those reasons are revealed and will make the reader question if they are truly evil or good, and if there is really much difference between the two. 'This is especially important in today's age where we're surrounded by anger and confusion in the never-ending battles between race, religion and sexuality. Teens can read Ilmarinen and start to learn how to see things from all perspectives.'
Marilla Mulwane comes from a small town with no stoplights in a large area of land northwest of New York City. Yes, this area actually does exist. While she enjoys the scenic hills, she writes, reads, plays video games, and makes crafts. She just wants folks to read her work. Nothing fancy. Of course, if it leads to fame, fortune and world domination, she won't complain.

Scott Bourquin Releases THE EASY GUIDE TO ONLINE MARKETING by BWW News Desk
- September 10, 2015 Scott Bourquin recently hit two Amazon best-seller lists with the book, 'Success Today.'
Scott Bourquin has been running an online marketing agency for many years and has been a player in the online space since 1995. Recently he hit two best seller lists with the book 'Success Today.'
Scott Bourquin helps his clients achieve more in less time than they ever thought possible. Scott started out building technology systems to grow small businesses and quickly learned that his clients were experiencing the same growing pains he was. The son of a small business owner, and himself the creator of several successful businesses, Scott has learned how to overcome the roadblocks of success. Today, Scott enjoys watching small business owners make those big breakthroughs and achieving more.
One way that Scott wants you to break through and achieve more in your business is getting your story set up for the online world. He wrote 'The Easy Guide To Online Marketing' to do just that. Instead of paying high priced consultants, Scott has created a step by step guide to get you started the right way.
Scott's philosophy that 'You can't get any wasted time back' helped him create a unique approach to business problem solving. It is an approach that he learned as a pilot and adapted to his work in information systems and later to his own businesses. This approach allows him to be more productive, have more time off and help his clients to do the same.
In addition to building businesses, Scott served in the Air Force Reserves and is a decorated combat pilot. During his military service, Scott served in several capacities beginning as a Security Police Team Member and Championship Competitive Marksman, retiring from the Air Force Reserves as a decorated Air Force Reserve KC-10 Instructor Pilot and Chief of Information Systems. Scott flew several tours in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom and was selected to represent the Air Force Reserves at the 100th Anniversary of Flight Celebration at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
Bourquin Group LLC describes the book:
Few topics have been written about as much as Online Marketing. Even among most seriously-discussed subjects like religion and politics, the concept of success online for your business is critical. Something just as interesting is that marketing means different things to each of us. In a commercial context like online marketing, success is most often measured using the currency of exchange as well as the achievement of goals.
Philosophically, marketing online might be very different than what you are doing. The companies and individuals that build the right platform leapfrog the competition.
Just as action is an integral part of success, mentoring means a faster rate of achievement. However, despite our changing world, we know that the basic tenets of success remain the same, no matter how fast the pace. Once you build your foundation, Scott is available to help you grow your company faster and easier than you might imagine.

Scott is also the author of a number of popular books to include: 'So, Now What?' (2009) and 'How to Market on Facebook for Free' (2012), which was followed in short succession by 'How to Market on Google for Free' (2012).
Scott recently consolidated his writing efforts when he created the 'Easy Guide' series of books. The Easy Guide Books are designed to give small business owners simple and easy methods to get around those roadblocks to success. The Easy Guide To Internet Marketing was released in 2013 to kick off the series.
A Technology and Internet Marketing Authority & Keynote Speaker, Scott has delivered presentations and live training to audiences of major national technology conferences and consumer electronics shows across the country. Scott's work as an actor helps him to create more effective and engaging events as a speaker and create better online video content for his clients.
