KE Publishing Releases ALL MEN ARE DOGS: IT IS WHAT IT IS
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2015
Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places? Your Prayers Have Been Answered! Your relationship has gone to the dogs...at least that's what author Kevin Elliott says in his newly published book, 'All Men are Dogs: It Is What It Is.' Elliott's revolutionary approach to love and relationships is the self-help tool women everywhere have been looking for. The book uses dog breeds to group men's personality types and detail the ways each of these groups behave. 'The parallels drawn between dog and man are downright undeniable,' Elliott says, 'and the relationship advice is valuable-whether you're already in a relationship, dating or still looking for love.' Kevin uses humor and contemporary references to impart his practical advice to women, giving them the tools they need to choose a partner or reassess their current relationship. 'Many women find themselves chasing after the myth of perfection instead of accepting the fact that no one is perfect,' Elliott says. 'In 'All Men Are Dogs,' I show women ways to cut through the unrealistic expectations and get down to the real qualities they're looking for in their 'good' dog...I mean man.' Elliott doesn't just 'dog' on men when imparting his wisdom; he also scolds the ladies who've been busy trying to change their men into something they just can't be. 'Ladies, you can bring out the hidden good qualities in your man and maybe even upgrade him a bit,' he says, 'but you cannot make him into something he isn't, no matter how hard you try. When life gives you lemons, make some lemonade-but be reasonable and remember, only Jesus turned water into wine.' Preaching understanding, love and nurture, Elliott tells women that knowing their 'dogs' leads to happiness. 'If you understand your man and know what makes him happy and that's something that also makes you happy, then you're on your way to a great relationship. Men are actually pretty simple creatures, if you give us food, water, a few toys to play with, a space to roam, a lot of love and a whole lot of affection, we'll be happy and so will you.' Whether you are married, single, divorced, or most importantly if you're the 'Bitter Woman,' your prayers have been answered by 'All Men Are Dogs: It Is What It Is!' 'All Men Are Dogs: It Is What It Is' is available in both printed and ebook formats at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, iBooks and other online retailers. Kevin Elliott is available for interviews and can be contacted at therealallmenaredogs@gmail.com Check out Kevin's interview on MJWJ Global Radio, 'We had such a good time with this interview, it went over by more than half!' therealallmenaredogs.com

Deby Eisenberg Promotes PICTURES OF THE PAST
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2015
An Impressionist painting, hanging for decades in the Art Institute of Chicago and donated by the charismatic philanthropist Taylor Woodmere, is challenged by an elderly woman as a Nazi theft. Taylor's gripping and passionate story takes us back to 1937. Sent to Paris on family business, he reluctantly leaves his girlfriend Emily, a spoiled debutante from Newport, Rhode Island. But once in Europe, he immediately falls in love - first with an Henri Lebasque painting, and then with the enchanting Sarah Berger of Berlin. After Taylor returns home, the Berger family becomes trapped in the Nazi web, and any attempts for the new lovers to be reunited are thwarted. Interwoven with this narrative is the story of Rachel Gold, a beautiful and bright Chicago girl caught up in the times of the late 1960's. Pregnant and abandoned by her boyfriend Court Woodmere, Taylor's son, she moves to New York to live with her aunt, a Holocaust survivor. Years later, as the controversy surrounding the provenance of the painting becomes public, Rachel's grown son is disturbed by his inexplicable familiarity with the work of art. And it is only Taylor Woodmere who can unravel the complicated puzzle of their lives. With a heart-grabbing ending, 'Pictures of the Past' is historical fiction at its best, giving a personalized window to the powerful events and intriguing venues of the eras. From a world torn by the horrors of war, a love story emerges that endures through years of separation. 'Pictures of the Past' is available in both print and ebook formats. Book Details: Pictures of the Past By Deby Eisenberg Publisher: Studio House Literary ISBN: 978-0615483122 ASIN: B005NKFVPG Pages: 376 Genre: Historical Fiction, Historical Jewish Fiction About The Author: As the leader of an established Chicago area Book Club, Deby Eisenberg challenged herself to write a novel that her avid readers could not put down and would love to discuss. With a Masters Degree from the University of Chicago, she is a former English teacher and journalist. Inspired by so many wonderful books and formidable authors, and drawing on her love of literary research, art, architecture, Jewish history, and travel in the United States and Europe, she tried to envision a multi-generational love story that would inform as well as entertain, that would broaden the mind and open the heart. Deby and her husband Michael, an obstetrician-gynecologist, live in Riverwoods, Illinois.

Randy Jernigan Releases THE LIFE AND CAREER OF MARIE OSMOND as First 'Stars That Make a Difference' Series
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2015
When one thinks of celebrities that make a positive difference in the lives of others, more than likely the name Marie Osmond pops up. 'The Life and Career of Marie Osmond' is a new short biographical sketch released through Kindle, and is the first release of the 'Stars That Make A Difference' series by celebrity journalist Randy Jernigan. The piece chronicles the charismatic performer's 50 years in show business, as well as (the sometimes controversial) details of her personal life, and the founding of her Children's Miracle Network and yearly telethon. 'When my publisher approached me with this idea, I jumped on it immediately,' explained Jernigan. 'I could see the value in a series about celebrities that have a conscience and promotes lifting others in need. You read so much that is negative about stars in the press these days-it's nice to see that there are those out there that actually give back to society,' said the author. At age 55, she's still the same bubbly, energetic performer that stole American hearts at the tender age of three on the Andy Williams musical Variety show those many years ago. Still the same Grammy winning voice that recorded 35 albums, that starred on Broadway, that wrote 6 New York Times best-sellers, that danced her way into the season five finale of 'Dancing With the Stars,' and if that wasn't enough, hosted her own daytime talk show for the Hallmark Channel aptly titled 'Marie.' Osmond now performs with brother Donny in a Las Vegas review at the Flamingo Hotel. But what's really at the heart of this multi-talented star? 'Marie's always had a big heart-especially for the little ones,' say's fellow singer Olivia Newton John. 'Marie made a commitment years ago as a young lady, that she would do her part in helping children who need medical attention but who can't afford it-and she's lived up to that commitment many times over,' said Newton John. Osmond founded the Children's Miracle Network in 1983 with other Osmond family members and fellow performer, John Schneider. To date, the organization has raised more that 5 Billion dollars for the 170 participating Children's hospitals throughout the country. 'The Life and Career of Marie Osmond' is the first installment in the 'Stars That Make A Difference' fan series released through Creative Partners Fan Books and is now available on Kindle and other electronic devices. A portion of the proceeds of this release will go to benefit The Trevor Projecta rescue hotline for LGBTQ youth that are in crisis.

In The House Tells the Story: Homes of the American Presidents (David R. Godine, $40), artist Adam Van Doren presents portraits of 15 homes he found intriguing. As his friend David McCullough writes in the foreword, 'with his eye for architecture and the human element, not to say his distinctive sense of humor, Adam... sees them anew, and consequently, so do we.'

Prize Winning Journalist Ron Argo Promotes 1960's Era Civil Rights Historical Thriller
by BWW News Desk - July 10, 2015
The author returns to his childhood in this fictional account and takes readers into the heart of an Alabama town held captive by the blind hatred of the KKK. 'A profound and heartbreakingly real' [Kirkus] novel. The teenage narrator breathes life into that violent setting and pays homage to the tragedies and hardships of both black and white Southerners trying to thrive in a wicked, segregationist town. Young Sonny Poe is trapped in a dead-end life of poverty and prejudice. Horrified after witnessing a lynching in the midnight woods, Sonny turns shy of anyone he suspects is a Klansman; soon he meets and befriends a progressive doctor with a troubled past and a crusading spirit who's trying to help end abuse against the local community of Negroes. The headstrong teenager commits himself to 'Doctor Joe' and his cause even as both suffer betrayals, beatings, arrest and finally exile in a story that can only end in tragedyand hope. This is a story of immense tension that pulsates with violence, love, betrayal and humor as it rushes through the forebodingness of one of America's most pressing historical moments toward a shocking climax. The Civil Rights Movement forms the backbone of 'The Sum of His Worth,' but its strength comes from the voice of its young narrator and its strongest theme lies in the caveats of moral reckoning in a 'free' society. Praise for 'The Sum of His Worth': 'Argo successfully creates a profound, multilayered tapestry that's full of nuance. [His] first-person perspective creates a fragile aura around the unfolding events, and makes them wholly unpredictable ... The authentic dialogue is especially effective; each restrained syllable conveys as much as a five-page soliloquy ... In a style that's evocative of S.E. Hinton's classic works, with a dash of Daniel Woodrell's Southern grit, [Argo's] novel is an engrossing, heartbreakingly real novel of the South' - Kirkus Reviews 'The Sum of His Worth is a work of serious literary fiction, a coming-of-age story set in a time of national upheaval ... rich in ambiance, descriptive detail, and incident ... My interest never flagged in this convincing, meaningful, and deeply immersive tale.' Ron Terpening, author of Nine Days in October and Tropic of Fear. 'Argo's fiction rings chillingly true.' The San Diego Union 'Ron Argo's depiction of Alabama in the late 50s and early 60s is as unrelenting as a shutter click, the image clear and unforgiving. From grits and okra to the horror show of white robes and burning crosses, the images are spot on perfect. So are the characters ... No reader will fail to come out of it unchanged.' Sharon Skains, author of Waltzing with the Devil 'Jim Crow was interwoven with growing up in small-town Southern life. Argo has captured this nuance ... Here, courage is not a single act, but an ongoing commitment that can separate one from everything that is deeply loved.' Colonel Michael Moran, USMC (Ret) The Sum of His Worth is available in both print and ebook formats.

Rob Guy Releases New Science Fiction HARRY WATT, BOUNTY HUNTER
by BWW News Desk - July 10, 2015
Set in the year 2150, it is written in a humorous style. Harry Watt has to travel to Mars to bring a fugitive back to Earth. However, all is not what it seems. Harry must decide who to trust in order to prevent Martian civil war. For Harry Watt, Bounty Hunter, simply doing what he's told was never an option. When the best hydrologist on Earth goes AWOL after first helping himself to some company funds, Judge Headlock, Harry's employer and nemesis, instructs him to bring back the runaway to face justice. A trip to Mars onboard one of the new ships with the StrateLine Drive sounds like fun, but Harry soon discovers something stinks about this job, and it's not one of his socks. He realizes he must first travel to Venus Station, but it's not easy to be in two places at once. And getting framed for murder doesn't help matters. So with the help of his dead partner, an erstwhile assistant, and a host of lady friends, Harry embarks on a rip-roaring ride through the Solar System in a bid to prevent a Martian civil war, and maybe earn a few credits along the way. 'Harry Watt, Bounty Hunter' is available in both print and ebook formats.
