Dog Ear Publishing Releases New Children's Book
by BWW News Desk - September 04, 2015
Watching the world go by makes Daniel the iguana very happy. In fact, he loves relaxing in the warm sunshine of his rainforest home. Some of the forest's busier animals just don't get it, but that's OK with Daniel, who stars in Buffie Biddle's first children's book, released by Dog Ear Publishing. In the end, he teaches children that they should be true to themselves, no matter what others think. 'Pura Vida Mae!' features Daniel and his friends - two other iguanas, a sloth and a butterfly - as well as a few more energetic (and at times menacing) animals that live nearby. Set in the rainforest of Costa Rica, the story tells the story of Daniel and how sometimes his love of leisure frustrates others. Busier creatures such as birds that constantly work on their nests, monkeys jumping from tree to tree and jaguars hunting prey just don't understand Daniel, who has fully embraced the phrase 'Pura vida.' It's the national greeting of the Costa Rican people, translating to 'pure life' but meaning everything from 'hello' or 'nice day' to 'safe trip' and 'goodbye.' 'Mae' is a Costa Rican slang word for friend, similar to our 'buddy' or 'dude.' The author - who also illustrated the book - fell in love with the flora and fauna of Costa Rica during her first visit, and her artistic senses were inspired by its vibrant colors, smells, sights and sounds, as well as the culture of the country. A short pronunciation guide lists relevant Costa Rican slang and Spanish words, and the author includes three pages of information about the animals mentioned in the book, providing details about the creatures such as what they eat, how they move and other fun facts. Author Buffie Biddle is inspired by wild life and the uniqueness of the natural world, exploring texture, shapes and colors. The artist is a conservationist, writer and former educator. She has a degree in fine arts and a minor in special education, and she worked with children for almost 12 years. Biddle focused on behavior needs such as socialization, specializing in children with autism and their siblings as well as children who could be their friends. She used stories she created to fit children, making lessons more successful and therapeutic. 'Pura Vida Mae' is the first story she has published. 'From the subtle blushes of the flowers to the incredible detail of Vivi the butterfly's wings, each page of this book could be a painting in itself. Overall, the vivid illustrations and charming story are the perfect way to expose children to the incredible vibrancy and unique habitat of the rain forest.' - Kirkus Reviews Please also see more from the Kirkus Review of this book at: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/buffie-biddle/pura-vida-mae-original-story-children/ For additional information, please visit www.buffiebiddle.com Pura Vida Mae!

David Farland, Orson Scott Card, Kevin J. Anderson, Rebecca Moesta and the Winner Twins Host Writers of the Future Writers Workshop
by BWW News Desk - September 03, 2015
For over 30 years, the Writers of the Future Contest has been one of the premier writing contests in the science fiction and fantasy field, known not just for the awards ceremony and the prize money, but especially for the intensive week-long writing workshop taught by some of the biggest names in the field. This workshop has been available only to the winners. Until now. This past weekend, a condensed version of the Writers of the Future workshop was made available to the public. Held in Hollywood, the workshop covered the entire business of the writing process from crafting an idea to scheduling time to write, to editing, to finding the right agent and ultimately publishing what you write. The workshop was led by New York Times bestselling author David Farland (The Runelords), and with a special session by Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Kevin J. Anderson (co-author of 14 novels in the Dune universe), Rebecca Moesta (Young Jedi Knights novels) and special guest instructors, successful indie authors the Winner Twins (The Strand Prophecy). The next workshop has been tentatively scheduled for January 30-31, 2016. The Writers of the Future writing contest (www.writersofthefuture.com) was initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the Writing Contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was created in 1988. The intensive mentoring process has proven very successful. The 368 past winners of the Writing Contest have published 838 novels and nearly 4,000 short stories. They have produced 27 New York Times bestsellers and their works have sold over 50 million copies. The 298 past winners of the Illustrating Contest have produced over 4,500 illustrations, 356 comic books, graced 594 books and albums with their art and visually contributed to 36 TV shows and 46 major movies.

New Mystery Thriller Novel Reveals Controversial Invasive Aquatic Plant Species
by BWW News Desk - September 03, 2015
The State of California spent millions of dollars to eradicate it from its clogged waterways; it has been analyzed and studied for use as a biomass in renewable fuels; in 2013 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Federal Regulatory Announcement and adopted certain requirements to effectively minimize the risk of crops behaving as invasive species when grown for biofuels; and historically it has and continues to be used today in woodwind musical instruments. The subject of all of this controversy that has been going on for years is the invasive aquatic plant species known by its Scientific Name 'Arundo Donax' and common name 'Giant Reed.' It was just a matter of time before the controversial invasive plant species, Arundo Donax became the subject of a conspiracy depicted in a fictional novel. In what appears to be the first fictional novel surrounding the controversial subject, such a conspiracy is at the heart of 'Secrets of the River Cane' by author T.L. Seacliff. This fast paced thriller is as informative as it is entertaining. With an unpredictable storyline that is expertly written, research for the book that shines through in each and every descriptive detail, this novel is predicted to become a best seller. Secrets of the River Cane, A Corinne Wynters Mystery by T.L. Seacliff was just released for sale September 1, 2015 worldwide on Amazon.com and Amazon's extended worldwide distribution channels in Paperback and Kindle editions. http://www.tlseacliff.com

Veteran Launches New Poetry Book, WORDS
by BWW News Desk - September 03, 2015
Words have a power all their own, and poetry is one way writers share that power with others. Author James Spisak shares his thoughts on love in all forms with a new collection of poetry released by Dog Ear Publishing. The book contains 83 poems and 30 snippets, shorter selections that prove just as powerful as traditional poems, writing of lost chances as well as those taken, time and its passage, and the beauty, grace and power of God. In 'Words,' Spisak uses free verse to create love poems that describe the emotion evoked by people, nature and God, who created both. In the poem 'My Twin Brother,' he imagines a tree is his twin because it was planted the day he was born. Both faced illnesses but grew to be strong, having fun together on a swing tied to the tree's branches, and sharing his love with his special brother as he and his future bride pledge their love under its branches. 'Circles' shares the author's wonder about the beauty of their very shape, without beginning or end, including the bang that created the universe, creating a ring of circles 'into the emptiness of space.' Can the center of that circle be the place we call Heaven? Poems about words themselves, such as 'Trivial & Insignificant,' reflect the book's title. In that selection Spisak warns: 'Be careful, please, be careful how you label things and times.' Equally moving is the poem 'The Flower Garden,' which compares a humble gardener to the Gardener of men, who loves His garden and its flowers, and all know and love Him. But there's a difference in what grows in this special garden: 'Unlike all the other gardens, the flowers picked from this garden will never die as long as they are with Him.' This is the first published book for author James Spisak, a Korean War veteran who began writing poetry in 2008. He and his late wife, Betty Lou, who were married for 51 years, have a son and daughter. The family man sings tenor with his church choir.
