Award-Winning Irish Author Comes Home to Boston
by BWW News Desk - December 17, 2014
Penny McCann Pennington, author of acclaimed novel, 'It Burns a Lovely Light' made a splash in Somerville's Infamous Irish Restaurant and Pub, The Burren. 'You can't beat signing books to the sound of mandolin, guitar and some crisp Gaelic Harmonies,' says Pennington. 'Not to mention, the bartenders really know how to pour a pint of Guiness.' The daughter of an Air Force General, Pennington and her sisters sent many summers in Marshfield, Massachussetts, while their parents moved their belongings to yet another base. 'It Burns a Lovely Light' is a stay-up-all-nighter: When a possibly-too-close military family suddenly comes unsprung, the eldest daughter, Farley, gives up her dreams to care for her brother, William, an autistic savant. William is the novel's loyal and disarmingly insightful hero. 'The book was written primarily from Farley's perspective,' says Penny McCann Pennington, the author of 'It Burns a Lovely Light.' 'The impact of William just took over. It's a classic example of the story directing the author.' 'It Burns a Lovely Light' continues to receive rave reviews in major publications and won numerous awards / honorable mentions. Judges from the 22nd Annual Writer's Digest Awards gave her a perfect 5 ('outstanding') in all categories. The international organization Autism Speaks requested permission to include her novel in their on-line parent's resource library. And most recently, 'It Burns a Lovely Light' was named a finalist for the 2014 USA Best Book Award.

Marilyn Grace Releases FINDING BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID
by BWW News Desk - December 17, 2014
Writer and researcher Marilyn Grace of St George, Utah has dug up fascinating evidence that may prove to the rest of the world that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did not die in Bolivia as is widely promoted in history books, but actually lived to be a ripe old age in Utah. According to Grace's book, 'Finding Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' a team of researchers compared the exhumed body of Utah resident William Henry Long to the Sundance Kids body and the two were a perfect match in every way. Dr. John McCullough, a certified forensic anthropologist, told Salt Lake City's KSL television news that, 'Two gringos definitely died, but we just don't know which ones,' he said, referring to the legend that Cassidy and his sidekick die in Bolivia. Grace's book argues that Long, who had made his way to Utah, married a widow with six children in 1894 and kept his identity hidden, leading a double life throughout the famed Butch and Sundance years of the wild west. Grace is quoted as saying, 'It's a great cover, to be married with six children instead of an outlaw on the loose.' In the book Grace publishes images of both Sundance and Long that, at first glance, may or may not look that much alike, but as transparencies are laid upon each other, the image of the outlaw is portrayed perfectly. Grace also points out other similarities by adding, 'Both have broken noses. Both have a notch in the ear. Both have a notch in the chin. The researcher has toiled over this project for seventeen years and has put together what is sure to become a great read for Butch and Sundance buffs. The Butch and Sundance project is now represented by Creative Partners and Randy Jernigan for publicity.

Worldpress.org Founder Announces Debut Novel
by BWW News Desk - December 17, 2014
Bryce Cullen Publishing is excited to announce the release of Teri Schure's debut novel, 'Our Romantic Getaway.' Ms. Schure is the founder of worldpress.org, an international news website; a journalist; and a publishing and marketing consultant. With many articles and short stories appearing in various newspapers and magazines, it was only a matter of time before Ms. Schure had a novel-length tale to tell. 'Our Romantic Getaway' explores what happens when, due to an overbooking, one married couple's planned trip to a wholesome and relaxing vacation destination gets switched to a sex-crazed Mexican resort named Exotica. What was supposed to be a restful, romantic getaway turns out to be an experience straight out of the movie Caligula. But, after the initial shock of the clothing-optional environment wears off, the seven-day excursion turns into an exhilarating time and a journey of self-discovery and transformation. 'Our Romantic Getaway' is available in print and ebook at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and can also be ordered from most major booksellers. Ms. Schure is available for interviews and media appearances, as well as book signings and readings via tschure@terischure.com.

Rick Ross Releases CULTS INSIDE OUT
by BWW News Desk - December 16, 2014
How do individuals get involved with cults in the first place, and what steps can be taken to 'deprogram' and heal those who have been drawn into these damaging groups? These questions and more are addressed in Cults Inside Out, written by well-known cult expert Rick Alan Ross. Over the course of three decades, Ross has participated in about 500 cult interventions, provided expert court testimony, and performed cult-related work all around the world. With the help of current and former cult members, Ross demonstrates many of the tactics the groups use for control and manipulation-and, more importantly, some of the most effective methods he and other experts have used to reverse that programming. As a result, readers will find themselves armed with a greater understanding of the nature of destructive cults and an improved ability to assess and deal with similar situations-either in their own lives or the lives of friends and family members.
