Cambron Press, an imprint of Cambron Publishing Group, LLC to Publish New Book by Mary Frances Fisher. MK McClintock, publisher of Cambron Publishing Group LLC, announced today that Cambron Press has acquired the rights to the new novel by author Mary Frances Fisher. Lorraine Fico-White will edit. A historical suspense novel, "Paradox Forged in Blood," is set in Cleveland, Ohio during the late 1930s. Four decades after the murder of socialite, Louis Sheridan, the cold case is resurrected with receipt of new evidence that transports detectives back to Nazi Germany and the only living witness must confront a haunting secret and her complicit actions. It will be published in simultaneous trade paperback, large print, and e-book editions in 2016. Comments Mary Frances, 'Writing Paradox Forged in Blood was cathartic for me following the death of my mother-a wonderfully compassionate and caring woman who possessed the soul and spirit of a true Irish lass. It enabled me to cast her in a wonderful murder mystery at a time when the world was reeling from the Great Depression before being thrust into World War II. In spite of a world gone seemingly mad, she discovers that love, family, and a sense of humor brought much-needed sanity to an otherwise chaotic time.' Author: Mary Frances Fisher, a life-long resident of Cleveland OH, has spent the majority of her career as a legal nurse consultant and recently signed onto Taxi Agency as a commercial print model. With Germaine Moody and writer contributions from over 100 countries, she co-authored her first published work in 2013, 50 Seeds of Greatness. Her additional writing experiences include several short stories: "Earning My Wings" in Touched by an Angel: A Collection of Divinely Inspired Stories and Poems, Transcendent Publishing, October 2013; "Mercy's Legacy" in Best of Spiritual Writers Network 2013, Transcendent Publishing, December 2013; "Be Careful What You Wish For" in The Best of Spiritual Writers Network, Transcendent Publishing, January 2015. She has written a screenplay based on "Mercy's Legacy" and is working on a PFIB companion novel titled Growing Up O'Malley. Mary Frances lives in a suburb of Cleveland with her family.

Members of the 'Pro99' movement of Actors' Equity Association have issued an open letter to AEA's newly elected president, Kate Shindle, in response to her victory and to her inaugural address as president of the national union for actors and stage managers. The open letter is signed by over 400 Equity members (listed below), including such notable names as Ed Asner, Francis Fisher, Sally Kirkland and Alfred Molina. The 'Pro99' movement formed in late 2014 in opposition to AEA's rollout of a new plan that will effectively force 'intimate theaters' in Los Angeles to pay Equity actors minimum wage, go 'non-union' or even close - despite an overwhelming vote against the plan by 66% of the Los Angeles membership on an advisory referendum. 'Pro99' members around the nation, who take their name from the current AEA '99 Seat Plan' that allows members to volunteer in smaller venues, oppose AEA's new promulgated plan. They are requesting that Equity leadership put a moratorium on the plan until local members' voices can be heard, and that the union work with its members to develop an alternative plan that will more realistically address the needs of the Los Angeles theater community.
