- December 10, 2014 The long awaited Dr. Kalyan Kankanala's short stories of blind protagonists has been released.

It is also available on Scribbed and Oyster. The paper back version of the book is available on Amazon for international readers, and on pothi for people in India. It will shortly be available on FlipKart and other online/physical stores.
Talking about his book, Dr. Kalyan said, 'I thoroughly enjoyed writing 'How Many Are These?,' and am looking forward to feedback and reviews. In addition to the entertainment component, the stories have important messages about the blind, which I hope will make an impact on the reader and bring about change in the typical Indian mind set. I am thankful to all my friends, and especially The Cane Foundation, for encouraging me to author this work.'
Dr. Kalyan Kankanala has announced that all proceeds from the book will go the Cane Foundation, a charitable trust founded to fight disability in all forms. The book will shortly be available in audio book format for the benefit of the disabled. More details of the work, and sample stories are available on Dr. Kalyan Kankanala's website.
'Equicapita's Little Book of What Next?' is Released by BWW News Desk
- December 10, 2014 The principals of Equicapita are pleased to announce the release of 'Equicapita's Little Book of What Next? The entrepreneur's guide to preparing, structuring and negotiating the successful sale of your business.'
Greg Tooth, a partner at private business buy-out firm Equicapita commented, 'We are big believers in the small business sector ('SME') as a wealth creator in Canada. We created Equicapita to be RRSP eligible to allow qualified investors access to SME investments that are difficult to reach through traditional channels. Because of the compelling mismatch between the amount of business owners seeking exits in relation to the amount of dedicated SME buyout capital we believe this space could provide superior returns over the next decade while the imbalance is rectified and the demographic pressures begin to ease.'
Partner Stephen Johnston stated 'The book is a way for us here at Equicapita to help business owners plan for the sale of their company. It can be difficult and trying process. Hopefully 'The Equicapita Little Book of What Next?' can help. Obviously we would also be pleased if after reading the book, that owners consider Equicapita as a potential purchaser of their business.'
Partner Mike Cook continued 'We spent a lot of time and effort putting ourselves in the shoes of the owner in the business sale process. As a buyout fund, Equicapita deals with hundreds of potential deals a year so we have a good appreciation of how challenging the process can be for entrepreneurs. Ideally business owners read the book, can some useful insight into how buyers like Equicapita conduct an acquisition and then feel confortable contacting us to investigate sale possibilities.'
Thomas Syvret, Vice President, added 'We attempted to distill down a lot of complex experienced gained over a career in private equity into what we believe is an accessible and useful road map for business owners entering into a sale.'

ThatOldHippie Releases Debut Book, IT'S NOT OK by BWW News Desk
- December 10, 2014 Skilled travel nurse and prize-winning photographer, ThatOldHippie, has set down the tools of his trades to pick up the pen for his first serious foray into journalism. 'It's Not OK' is a hard-core, no-holds-barred condemnation of American morals, manners, behavior, ethics, and priorities - complete with ruthless commentary on the political and economic enslavement of the American people by their own government.
From bad parking to pregnant teens, the educational system, excessive political correctness, smoking, the sin of being a lawyer, governmental oppression, racism, the privileged political process, and entitlists suckling at the government's teat, and from media impropriety, to herd mentality and complacency of citizens, illegals, the tax and child support systems, foreign policy, fast food, 9-11, the failing economy, and driving & eating habits - virtually no subject is sacred.
Caution to readers that are offended by blunt honesty or profane language.
ThatOldHippie, born to a bottom-rung, middle-class family, graduated high school in 1974, served a term in the U.S. Navy, and later went to college courtesy of the G.I. Bill. Currently a travelling nurse and travel photographer, ThatOldHippie also maintains a presidential campaign website @ RadicalChangeForRadicalTimes.com, where a substantial amount of the material for It's Not OK originated.
'It's Not OK' is a self-published work, and is available at blurb.com in hardcover, softcover, and PDF formats. Gratis PDF copies available for review to media professionals.

- December 10, 2014 Like last year, 2014 has been good for music books, particularly as musicians of a certain age decide it's time for a memoir (or a biographer decides for them). Illustrious guitarist/vocalist George Benson has, with Alan Goldsher, written George Benson: The Autobiography (Da Capo, $25.99), an account that will have you humming 'Masquerade' while you read. David Ritz has written more than 50 books, many of them as ghostwriter for musicians. After collaborating with Aretha Franklin for From These Roots, he has come out with an unauthorized biography--Respect (Little, Brown, $30), a dramatic and definitive study of the Queen. Listening to Aretha, from 'Chain of Fools' to 'Nessun Dorma,' is a must go-with.
