Robert Thornhill Releases LADY JUSTICE AND THE CONSPIRACY by BWW News Desk
- July 20, 2015 Are we being poisoned?
That's the question author Robert Thornhill asks in 'Lady Justice and the Conspiracy,' volume 21 in his award-winning Lady Justice mystery series, just released on Amazon.
Those fluffy white trails crisscrossing the sky - some say they are simply water vapor frozen into crystals. Others say they are deadly chemicals, some of which are for military defense, and others to control the weather and the world's food supply.
Are the chemtrails really part of a clandestine government conspiracy? Four people believe so, and claim they have proof, but each of their lives comes to a tragic and mysterious end before they can offer their proof to the world.
Join Private Investigator, Walt Williams, as he searches for the truth and looks for clues to explain the untimely deaths.
Eric James writes, 'Robert Thornhill has no fear when it comes to tackling enormous issues. He once again took on a very delicate and controversial subject, tackled it from all sides, exposed the inner workings of a conspiracy, and escaped cleanly out the other side.
'If this book doesn't get you thinking about what is going on in our world, then you need to take off the blinders and look up.
'In Lady Justice and the Conspiracy, he takes on the biggest topic in all his books so far, yet still manages to present the facts, stay objective, and all the while weaving a thrilling and intriguing fictional story.'
Robert began writing at the ripe old age of 66 and in six years has penned twenty-one novels in the Lady Justice series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.
During the past year, eight volumes in the Lady Justice series reached the #1 rank in the book's category on Amazon.

Author Matthew W. Miller's Newly Released Cookbook, 'Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking' Published by Halo Publishing International by BWW News Desk
- July 19, 2015 When you live with diabetes, you quickly realize your immediate family lives with it, too. Author Matthew W. Miller's newly released cookbook, 'Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking' is special because it is written by someone who knows the challenges of diabetic cooking with a disability. Think you cannot manage diabetes and cook due to a disability or have never cooked before? Think again! Matthew has gathered favorite recipes from friends and family that are easy, simple, taste wonderful and user friendly.
'Having diabetes can feel overwhelming, then you layer this with a disability and cooking seems impossible. I have a disability (cerebral palsy) and I wanted to write a cookbook that makes cooking feel easy and include tips for overcoming obstacles such as exercising by walking up and down stairs or how to remember the difference between low and high blood sugar quickly,' says Matthew. 'One of the best ways to help manage diabetes is to know where you can go for more information and help. This is why I included a diabetic resource list at the end of the cookbook.'
In 'Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking' (published by Halo Publishing International), Matthew shares some irresistible family recipes, all of which are kid-friendly and simple to follow. His hope is to encourage people despite having a disability that exercise and eating healthy is possible without having to join a gym or hire a dietitian.
'I wrote my second cookbook Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking as a tribute to my late father, Wayne O. Miller, and for all those dealing with diabetes,' says Matthew. 'My father encouraged me to exercise and lose weight, and to make this a life-long goal.'
Matthew also advises those with a disability to start making recipes with the fewest number of ingredients. 'People with disabilities might need more time to learn how to cook and will probably make a lot of mistakes when cooking something. Just remember it is okay,' says Matthew. 'Also, to help prevent diabetes it is important to learn about healthy eating and exercise early in life, and this is something I talk about at the beginning of my book. My hope is to keep people from never giving up on exercise and cooking.'
'Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking' not only has some of Matthew's favorite recipes, but also those of family and friends. The goal of this unique cookbook is to let people know they are not alone in overcoming obstacles in their lives when cooking and living a healthy lifestyle. 'Together we can combat diabetes,' says Matthew.
'There really isn't a cookbook that helps those with a disability,' says Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina. 'Not to mention a cookbook that can also be used by parents with children who have diabetes. Matthew W. Miller has written a cookbook that does all this and so much more. He definitely embodies a person with determination and has overcome many obstacles in his life, including getting his master's degree despite having cerebral palsy.'
You can purchase 'Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking' through Halo Publishing's website (http://halopublishing.com) and Amazon. Also available through major distribution.

Green Darner Press Releases Teen 'Scream' Novel 7/20: Author Stacey R. Campbell Talks Scary School Lunches by BWW News Desk
- July 19, 2015 On July 16, Southern California Public Radio Station 89.3 KPCC reported that a recent Los Angeles Unified School District audit has revealed mismanagement of school food services. On the heels of this disturbing news, comes Stacey R. Campbell's 'Scream,' a teen thriller with corrupt school food service staff at its core, which will be released by Green Darner Press Mon., July 20.
'Oh yeah and there's a reason the food sucks...I'll bet the garbage they're serving us isn't even prison grade."-"Scream"
This third novel in Campbell's Young Adult "Lakeview Series" finds its heroine, Halle Henry, kicking off her senior year with the perfect boyfriend, perfect roommate (his twin sister) and the prospect of getting into the perfect college-all of which become endangered when her boyfriend Alex witnesses a murder and ends up expelled for drugs planted in his backpack. Faced with uncooperative adults, Halle devises her own plan to corner the culprits using all the high-tech electronic equipment and methods at her disposal from full-on Internet, social media and digital tools to ordering spy stuff off Amazon. Halle joins forces with an unlikely ally-Alex's edgy roommate Wyatt-as they set out to bring the real criminals to justice and bring back Alex in time for graduation. But can they keep from getting killed in the process? And almost as important: Can they find out why the school cafeteria is so bad?
Campbell confirmed that the idea for "Scream" came out of her own boarding school experience: "After a year of complaining about the school's food, they found out the school cook had been skimming from the school's food budget to supplement his cocaine addiction."
The "Scream" launch party is scheduled for August 11 in Seattle where Campbell is based with her husband and three daughters. Details may be found on her author's website.
