Chris Six Pens I, KIDNEY: A NOVEL
by BWW News Desk - August 06, 2015
Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, affects some twelve million people worldwide. Yet it's relatively unknown, getting a fraction of the attention given to high-profile, 'sexy' diseases, and many suffer with the symptoms years before diagnosis. I, Kidney, the debut novel from transplant recipient Chris Six, aims to change this scenario. Against a picture-postcard New England backdrop, the Zizzi familyathlete dad, vivacious mom, two bright kidscopes with physical and emotional setbacks. Younger son Joe narrates the story, chronicling his mother's death, the derailing of his father's sports career, his brother's struggles with mental illness, and his own wry attempts to make sense of life. And then Joe finds out he has PKD. The second half of the story takes readers through the early testing and diagnostic stages, nutritional and surgical preparations for dialysis, treatment processes and side effects, complementary therapies, and a wide range of positive and negative encounters with doctors, nurses, and technicians, all seasoned with equal amounts of hope, doubt, and even humor as to whether a viable organ will eventually appear. A directory of kidney and mental health-related resources is included as an appendix. Author Chris Six, who founded the Chris Six Group imprint in 2013, meant to have the novel out sometime that year, but events kept getting in the wayincluding welcome ones such as a kidney transplant after nearly four years on the waiting list. 'The bulk of the kidney-related incidents in the story actually happened to me or to people I knew in dialysis,' says Six. 'We're all family in the treatment center. 'A great deal of writing this book was about getting the practical info out there. When I was first diagnosed with PKD, I had no idea what lay in store for me. I could have used a book like thisand many of the professionals who were involved in my treatment could still learn from it.' I, Kidney is available from Amazon paper and Kindle, and Barnes & Noble.com. The Chris Six Group is dedicated to 'literature from left field'thought-provoking fiction in a variety of genres. Releases include the fantasy The Basket of Seeds by Ska St. Julian, Raanan Geberer's short story collection Moish and the Mob, and Kew Stapleton's political/sports satire New York Brain.

Bestselling Sci Fi and Fantasy Authors Host Hollywood Writing Workshop
by BWW News Desk - August 06, 2015
Are you an aspiring writer in Hollywood looking for tips? Isn't everyone? The once-exclusive two day Writers of the Future writing workshop instructed by New York Times bestselling authors Dave Farland (Star Wars: The Rising Force), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Kevin J. Anderson (Dune prequels, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Rebecca Moesta (Young Jedi Knights series) and award-winning authors and instructors Brittany & Brianna Winner (The Winner Twins) will be made available to the public, August 29th and 30th in Hollywood, CA at the offices of Galaxy Press. As any new author has experienced, it is increasingly difficult to make any book stand out in the market. With less than a 1% chance of being stocked in the average bookstore, most book marketing today is done by authors themselves, not publishers. The book publishing world is in a never-ending state of turmoil with the high complexities of the business, intense competition and increasing changes and challenges. This includes the recent explosion in digital sales that has replaced traditional book sales, with even slimmer profits to cover publishing expenses. The Writers of the Future workshop has been a highlight of the most enduring and influential contest in the history of science fiction and fantasy, the Writers of the Future Contest. This month the latest edition of the winners' anthology hit the Publisher's Weekly Sci Fi Bestseller list. With a panel of judges including authors whose distinguished careers span the entire history of modern science fiction and fantasy (from the masters of the 'Golden Age' in 1930's and 1940's to the present), the contest was created in 1983 by NYT Bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard, as a means to discover and nurture new talent in speculative fiction. With no entry fee, it offers one of the largest cash prizes for short story speculative fiction, up to $5,000. The original roster of professional Judges include Dr. Gregory Benford, Algis Budrys, Frank Herbert, Anne McCaffrey, Larry Niven, Robert Silverberg, Theodore Sturgeon, Jack Williamson and Roger Zelazny. Limited tickets are still available for the workshop, which cover both days, food/beverages, free parking and all needed materials for the course. Call (323) 466-3310 or email jonil@authorservicesinc.com. More information is also available at www.galaxypress.com.

Bookworks Presents Shelf Awareness for Readers: Eclectic Lists
by BWW News Desk - August 05, 2015
Recently, Chronicle Books published Lists of Note: An Eclectic Collection Deserving of a Wider Audience, compiled by Shaun Usher. Usher's 125 lists, with facsimiles or illustrations, will intrigue and amuse, and sometimes surprise: Einstein, as his first marriage deteriorated, imposed conditions on his wife if they were to stay together, including 'I will receive three meals regularly in my room.... You will stop talking to me if I request it.' Predictably, she left him soon after. In 1951, then-starlet Marilyn Monroe came up with 17 'dream lovers' she'd like to bed if there were no strings attached. Albert Einstein made the cut. She must not have known about his predilection for control.

Bookworks Presents Shelf Awareness for Readers: Worst. Summer. Ever.

As a kid, I never went to summer camp. The farthest I ever got from home was family camping trips to the Oregon coast, and if it wasn't the mosquitoes, it was the rain that bummed us out. But had I known then just how terrible a summer vacation could be, I probably wouldn't have whined so much.
