The Mystery of the Lindbergh Kidnapping Highlighted in New Release by BWW News Desk
- August 27, 2015 Among the many spectacular crimes of the twentieth century-the assassination of President Kennedy, the serial murders of John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy, the trial of O. J. Simpson-none was more mysterious and riveting than the 1932 kidnapping and murder of the infant son of Charles A. Lindbergh. Its cast of characters would delight any author of detective novels: the father, an American aviator hero, the first to fly solo over the Atlantic; his lovely wife, the daughter of an ambassador and mother of the first-born son Charlie; an illegal immigrant from Germany charged with the kidnapping; a Bronx schoolteacher designated to carry on ransom negotiations; various underworld characters enlisted to try to find the kidnapped child; a gruff Irish detective dissatisfied with the investigation of the case; a young and aggressive FBI director interested in self-publicity; a prosecutor who may not have believed that one man alone could have done the kidnapping; and a variety of household staff who had peculiar stories to tell.

New Children's Book by Phillip D. Cortez is Released by BWW News Desk
- August 26, 2015 1580 Publishing is proud to announce a new children's book by El Paso author Phillip D. Cortez, focusing on teaching readers of all ages the importance of accepting other people - and even other creatures - that are different from us. Ava & the 'Monsters' is Cortez's third children's book.
The story centers around Ava, a fourth grade student, who gets laughed at and ridiculed because she often lets her imagination run wild during those boring times at school (to the dismay of her teacher, Mr. Marley). As a result, the rest of the kids begin calling her 'Far Away Ava.' When Ava is forced to go to detention after school, she encounters something extraordinary on her way home from school, something even her own wild imagination could make up.
This story very much began with my daughter's infatuation with monsters when she about three,' Cortez says. 'She saw a Halloween mask in her brother's room and instead of being traumatized, she made up her own monster friends. It was just a matter of me putting it in writing and taking it from there.'
Cortez elicited the creativity of local students throughout El Paso during speaking engagements to get an idea of what a monster should look like. After a wide array of ideas and suggestions, Cortez stayed true to his 'roots' and developed a species called the Wakala, who blend in with the natural desert landscape of West Texas.
The story is illustrated by Carizza Bognot Losbaños, her use of color and expression makes the story come to life; her simple and elegant style helps to convey an important message for readers of all ages.
Ava & the 'Monsters' as well as Cortez's other books can be purchased anywhere books are sold. For more information contact 1580 Publishing at support@1580publishing.com.
