Andrea N. Carr Releases THE TREES OUTSIDE
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
Often as human beings we find ourselves on the outside looking in on a given situation: a friend's problems with work, the death of a distant relative, even watching police rush to a major car accident. However, one of the most difficult aspects of humanity is being able to look within ourselves and be honest about what we see there. The Trees Outside is an introspective look at those forces affecting the character Angel Harper, from Andrea N. Carr's debut novel Family Tree the Novel: Family Tree. Here, she not only helps readers look introspectively at Angel's life through her poetry and previously edited material, but she reveals the naked truth about her writing as a medium for self-expression. 'This is a must read for all readers new or familiar with Family Tree the Novel. Miss Carr bears her soul and that of Angel's in a truly enlightening short work.' - M.J. Moores, OCT Book Details: 'The Trees Outside' By Andrea N. Carr Published: 06/01/2015 ASIN: The Trees Outside Pages: 19 Genre: Literary Fiction, African-American Fiction, Philosophy About The Author: Andrea N. Carr is a born storyteller. Her soul carries the passions and disappointments of a nation and her writing bares faultless witness to the truths of our time. Her profound insights into the human condition echo Alice Munro, The Color Purple and J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. With pace that has been compared to Raymond Carver.

Rayme Michaels Promotes SCREW THE DEVIL'S DAIQUIRI
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
Author Rayme Michaels is pleased to announce the promotion of his urban comedy drama, 'Screw the Devil's Daiquiri.' When womanizer, and possible schizophrenic, John Hazel, is suddenly offered a serious job promotion by the CEO of his company, David Wall, under the condition that John help him kill his wife, John finds himself between a rock and a hard place when Mr. Wall's wife, Victoria Wall, asks John to do the same for her. John, an office temp, photographer and university teaching assistant of philosophy, has more than enough on his post-traumatic, hyperactive mind, without something as absurd as this weighing down on him, not to mention that he is haunted-well, annoyed more than anything-by either the spirits or imaginary spirits of Giovanni Boccaccio, Francois Rabelais and a she-devil named Sabrina. Influences such as these do not help with John's very prurient but fascinating mind, which his psychologist tries as best as she knows how to get to the bottom of. His life-long existential crisis, having two hit men on his back, a bad-to-the-bone best friend named Alex, and a manic, sex-crazed, power-hungry, confrontational co-worker named Jackie, who happens to be Mr. Wall's mistress, certainly do not help matters either. Life does not seem to want to let up on John. Will he make it through this very bizarre time of tribulation, or will he end up behind bars, stone-cold dead, or simply cracking under the weight of it all? 'Screw the Devil's Daiquiri' is available in both print and ebook formats. Book Details: 'Screw the Devil's Daiquiri' By Rayme Michaels Publisher: Melange Books Published: November 2014 ISBN: 978-1612359311 ASIN: B00LBBLZCE Pages: 224 Genre: Urban Comedy, Drama About The Author: After high school, Rayme Michaels studied Theater Arts Performance and Radio Broadcasting in college, and then, in his undergrad, majored in Philosophy with a minor in Psychology. He then went on to get a Master's Degree in Comparative Philosophy while working as a teaching assistant. Screw the Devil's Daiquiri is his first full-length novel, but it is his third book, his other two being novellas released in 2012. His first book was a quirky relationship/sex comedy entitled Incorrigibility. His second one is a dark, gory, romantic vampire thriller called Red Love, which won Honorable Mention right at the top of the list for General Fiction in the 2014 London Book Festival. He became a bookworm at the age of eight and has been influenced by, and continues to enjoy, a wide variety of writers that range from the solemn to the satirical, the serious to the jovial, both in fiction and non-fiction, contemporary and old. This invariably comes out in his writing, since his literary interests are very broad. As an existential thinker, he is fascinated by the human mind and the human predicament, yet, as a Rabelaisian human being, laughter and joy are the reasons he gets up in the morning. Well...that and sex, of course. Oh, and his first name is pronounced with two syllables, by the way. The 'e' is not silent.

Ted Bacino Optiones Historical Drama for a Movie
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
England's foremost playwright is suspiciously murdered days before he is to be tried for treason. And an unknown actor suddenly becomes England's star playwright virtually overnight. Murder, mystery and manhunts in 1593. How could Christopher Marlowe, a known spy and England's foremost playwright, be suspiciously murdered and quickly buried in an unmarked grave just days before he was to be tried for treason? How could William Shakespeare, an unknown actor who 'held horses for the gentry while they watched the plays,' become England's star playwright virtually overnight? 'The Shakespeare Conspiracy' is a comedy-thriller that intertwines the two mysteries. It's a wild ride through the gay London theatre world as the city fights the black plague, the hunt for Catholics, and the questions about Marlowe's murder. As Marlowe and his sponsor/lover, Sir Thomas Walsingham realize that the sentence for heresy is always death by being 'drawn and quartered.' So they fake Marlowe's murder and arrange for an unknown actor to front the new works by Marlowe. Quickly the crown becomes suspicious of Marlowe's mysterious murder and the similarities of his works with those of Shakespeare's. (There are actually more than 100 identical or similar lines in the works of the two authors.) A manhunt begins with Marlowe being chased from city after city in Italy. He flees the Venetian city just as he finishes 'The Merchant of Venice' and 'Othello.' He runs from Padua as he writes 'The Taming of the Shrew' and he must leave Verona after a close call while he tries to finish 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Two Gentlemen of Verona.' The chase continues to Rome and Sicily where Marlowe in finally cornered. Meanwhile back in London, Shakespeare is trying to hide from the investigations of Constable Maunder and defend his writing of plays he's never read. And the homoerotic references in the recent works plague Shakespeare with his drinking buddies, his concubines and his wife. The whole chase culminates in a final confrontation of excitement and murder. All the historical facts presented in the book are accurate except for one date (which is explained in the preface). The last third of the book is a supplement verifying the facts in the novel. 'The Shakespeare Conspiracy' is available in both print and ebook formats.

Glenn Rogers Releases Book 3 of THE IMMORTAL Series, CARNAGE
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
In Glenn Rogers' mystery, THE IMMORTAL Carnage, the third installment of THE IMMORTAL series, the mayor of Los Angeles and two other of the Southern California super rich are murdered: one by rifle shot, one by lethal injection, and one by arrow shot. Along with LAPD Captain, Frank McGarry, Aaron wonders if the murders are simply random events or if they are somehow connected. As Aaron begins to look into the background of the victims, he discovers that all three grew up together in a small town in Iowa. And then all three are murdered within a ten-day period? Aaron becomes convinced that the killings were not unrelated events, but planned assassinations. But why those three people? At first, as he interviews people in Southern California connected with the victims, there doesn't seem to be a motive for killing them. Aaron eventually discovers that one of them had plans for a business in Iowa that would generate millions of dollars of income for him and his investors but at the expense of a number of small farmers-farmers in the town where the three of the three victims grew up. When a fourth victim is killed, the wife of one of the original victims and one of the group of friends who grew up together, Aaron travels to Iowa to discover why four childhood friends were murdered. Rogers, who grew up in Southern California but now lives in a small town in Iowa, brought both of those contexts together in THE IMMORTAL Carnage. As in all his novels, Rogers creates a rich variety of characters and puts them in difficult circumstances. 'I think readers enjoy interesting characters in challenging situations,' Rogers says. 'Characters need to be multidimensional and realistic, reacting the way real people react to the joys and difficulties of life.' THE IMMORTAL Carnage is Rogers' third mystery in THE IMMORTAL series. It is available through Amazon as a Kindle book or as a paperback or hardback. All of Rogers' novels are highlighted on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net
Glenn Rogers Releases Book 3 of THE COLEMANS, THE KNIFE
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
In Glenn Rogers' The Colemans Book 3 The Knife, Caleb Coleman is arrested in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the murder of his soon to be father-in-law, Colonel Edmund Cabot. Beth, the Colonel's daughter and Caleb's fiancée, is devastated. She believes Caleb to be innocent, as does Zack. But believing Caleb is innocent, even knowing he is, and proving it in a court of law are very different things. Caleb and Zack had been through a lot since they left Cumberlands almost a year ago. There had been many obstacles to overcome. And the brothers had overcome, and survived and flourished. But they had done it together. Now, with Caleb in jail, soon to be tried for murder, fifteen-year-old Zack must find the real killer and prove his brother's innocence on his own. To make matters worse, Zack becomes embroiled in an ongoing conflict between wealthy cattle ranchers in the area and Mexican sheepherders. When Zack intervenes on behalf of a nine-year-old Mexican boy who was being brutalized by a cowhand, Zack has to kill the young cowhand in self-defense. The young man's hateful father vows to even the score for the death of his son, and Zack has to watch his back. The local constable is useless, neither trying to find the Colonel's killer nor protecting the sheepherders from the cattle ranchers. To give himself an edge, Zack contacts President Johnson (who knew their father and was very appreciative of their efforts on behalf of his administration-Book 2 The Journal) and asks to be appointed a Deputy U.S. Marshall. President Johnson agrees and deputizes Zack giving him the authority he needs to investigate the Colonel's murder and deal with the lawless cattle ranchers. Before Zack can prove Caleb's innocence, he will travel from Santa Fe to Philadelphia and back again, a journey that exposes him to realities that he finds nearly incomprehensible. Rogers, a philosophy professor and history buff, did extensive research in writing all three volumes of The Colemans. But for Rogers, it takes more than action, drama, and historically accurate details to make a good story. The characters in all of Rogers' novels face moral challenges and ethical questions that require them to think about good and evil and the kind of people they want to be. That is certainly true in The Colemans Book 3 The Knife, which is available from Amazon as a Kindle book or as a paperback or hardback. All of Rogers' novels are highlighted on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net
Glenn Rogers Releases Book 2 of 'THE COLEMANS TRILOGY, THE JOURNAL
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2015
Glenn Rogers' frontier thriller trilogy continues with The Colemans Book 2 The Journal. In Book 1 The Reckoning, the Coleman brothers learned that their father, Royce Coleman was a famous mountain man. In Book 2 The Journal, they discover that their daddy kept a journal of his days as a mountain man, a journal filled with stories that is a joy for them to read. They also learn that their father was a spy for the Union in the Civil War. Recuperating from the bloody confrontation with their parents' killers, Caleb and Zack Coleman are surprised by a young woman bursting into their room claiming to have their father's journal, a book that contains secrets that powerful people in Washington, D.C. will kill to keep secret. When the boys learn that it was their father's intent to have the information in his journal given to honest and just people in Washington, Caleb and Zack decide to see to it that their daddy's goal is realized. To get the job done, the boys must travel from Colorado to California and then clear back to Washington, D.C., where they are surprised to find that President Johnson knew their father and considered him a trusted friend. With Emma Langly, the young woman who brought them their daddy's journal, as their new traveling partner, the boys face an adversary that knew and respected their father, a man who was perhaps their father's equal and who will kill the sons of Royce Coleman if need be to keep the secrets of the journal secret. Once Caleb and Zack become aware of their deadly opponent, they struggle with the ethics of how to deal with an enemy who intends to kill them if necessary, but who hasn't moved against them yet. Rogers, a college professor in a small town in Iowa, believes that a good story should not only be entertaining, but thought provoking. 'The best stories,' Rogers says, 'make you think about ethical concerns or important issues of one sort or another. The best writers are those who can tell a story that not only entertains but provokes thoughtful consideration.' When he's not in class teaching philosophy, Rogers is writing fiction. To write accurately about Royce Coleman's life as a mountain man, Rogers did extensive research into the lives and adventures of the real mountain men of the 1820s and 30s, reading several of the actual journals the explorers and trappers kept as they opened the American frontier. The Colemans Book 2 The Journal is available from Amazon as a Kindle book or as a paperback or hardback. All of Rogers' novels are highlighted on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net

Glenn Rogers Releases New Frontier Thriller
by BWW News Desk - July 07, 2015
Philosophy Professor, Dr. Glenn Rogers has written a frontier thriller where two young men face unimagined challenges and overwhelming odds as they set out across a war-torn frontier to bring their parents' killers to justice. The title of Dr. Rogers' book is: 'The Colemans Book 1 The Reckoning.' In the Prolog of his thriller, Rogers writes: Whatever honor may be possible in the seemingly unavoidable conflicts that arise between men of differing ideologies, if indeed there can be any at all, is turned to shame by men who use the conflict to justify brutality and enhance their own personal position. Such was the case April 14, 1865. In Washington, D.C., Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. In the region of Cumberland, Kentucky, a band of renegades dressed as Union soldiers raided several farms, murdering, looting, and burning as they went, setting in motion a chain of events that would forever change the lives of two young men. The young Coleman brothers face incredible challenges as they leave the hills of Kentucky for the first time in search of their parents' killers. Though capable young men, Caleb, seventeen, and Zack, fifteen, could not have anticipated the events that awaited them beyond the friendly hills of the Cumberland. They also could not have anticipated what they would learn about their father. Knowing him only as an outdoorsman and a Kentucky farmer, they are surprised to learn of his former life as a famous mountain man. Everywhere they stop, it seems someone knows his name. Over the next few months, the Coleman brothers would learn that there was a side to their father they knew nothing about. And in coping with the harsh realities of life beyond the hills of Kentucky, in pursuit of a pack of ruthless killers, the brothers also learn a great deal about themselves. When the brothers finally catch up with the killers, they are seriously outnumbered as they match wits, muscle, and skill with the men who murdered their parents. The Colemans is not at all a typical 'western,' but a thoughtful and thought provoking story about two young men who wrestle with the difference between justice and revenge, and responsibilities and obligations as they struggle to be the men their parents raised them to be. Rogers, who was born in Kentucky, is a history buff and has always been interested in the time frame in which The Colemans is set. He spent hundreds of hours researching the various aspects of life in 1864 America: the location of towns, bridges, roads, rivers and creeks, distances, weapons, and more, so that his story would historically authentic. 'The Colemans Book 1 The Reckoning' is now available through Amazon as a kindle book, a paperback, or hardback. All of Glenn Rogers' novels are displayed on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net.
