DIRTY GENES- A Breakthrough Program to Treat the Root Cause of Illness and Optimize Your Health By Dr. Ben Lynch

Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2018 -- Today, millions of people have a new tool in their arsenal to prevent and treat chronic disease: DIRTY GENES A Breakthrough Program to Treat the Root Cause of Illness and Optimize Your Health by Dr. Ben Lynch is available in bookstores nationwide. A renowned epigenetics pioneer, Dr. Lynch believes that far from being written in stone, our genetic destiny can be rewritten by making simple adjustments to our environment and lifestyle.

It is commonly understood that genes have a tremendous impact on our health and day-to-day wellbeing. What if we took that a step further and said that different characteristic of our genes could be turned "on" or "off?" The result of our gene "expression" can range from simply feeling sluggish or energized to developing more serious conditions such as autoimmune disorders, heart disease, or even cancer. If our genes are "dirty," or not functioning optimally, our health is compromised, and we get sick. Some genes are "born dirty"—our genetic predispositions—while others "act dirty" in response to environment or lifestyle. New research has shown that we can clean up dirty genes by what we eat, how much we sleep, and other lifestyle habits.

After years of research in the new science of gene abnormalities and successfully helping thousands of clients, Dr. Ben Lynch, an expert in epigenetics, offers a refreshing perspective and an accessible solution. In DIRTY GENES: A Breakthrough Program to Treat the Root Cause of Illness and Optimize Your Health (HarperOne; Hardcover; January 30, 2018), Dr. Lynch provides a simple test to figure out which of the seven most problematic dirty genes are most likely giving us trouble. Based on the resulting information, he offers targeted individual plans – including diet, sleep, supplements, and other lifestyle advice – to clean up our genes.

This breakthrough guide helps prevent and reverse chronic illness, including, but not limited to:

Cardiovascular disease
Autoimmune disorders
Insomnia
Anxiety
Obesity

"My mission is to drastically improve the lives of as many people as possible by sharing my research," says Dr. Ben Lynch, "That's why I wrote DIRTY GENES – to empower people. While we cannot change the genes we were born with, we can make them work to our advantage and reach optimal health."

DIRTY GENES is available at all major book retailers. Readers can visit http://www.dirtygenes.com for more information.

Lauderdale, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/18/2016 -- Just as Guy Bavli has astonished audiences worldwide, he wows readers with his literary debut, SMILE FOR A CHANGE: How the World's Favorite Expression Can Affect your Life (MOTM Press; October 18, 2016; $14.95/$9.95).

A smile a day can truly keep the doctor away, as it chemically changes our composition and lowers our stress levels. A smile has the power to single-handedly change perception—getting us the job of our dreams and finding the love of our life. Just when readers might pose the question, "A whole book on the smile?" their curiosity will be peeked with each riveting, thought-provoking chapter.

Guy Bavli shares his passion for the smile in a candid, genuine and love-for-life voice, while backing it up with sound research and scientific studies. SMILE FOR A CHANGE will leave you in awe of your smile and empowered like never before.

Crime Novelist Kenneth Wishnia Discusses his Lifelong Research and how it Engages Readers

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/22/2013 -- Crime novelist Kenneth Wishnia, author of THE GLASS FACTORY, recently appeared on "Life Unedited," hosted by John Aberle to talk about the inner workings of being a crime author. The compelling interview on "what makes Kenneth tick" can be heard on Podomatic here: http://insidementalhealth.podomatic.com/entry/2013-11-18T08_45_56-08_00

In this interview, Kenneth describes how writing allows him to go inside a character's head, whereas most films only graze the surface of a given character. One such example is how he went about the development of his protagonist in THE FIFTH SERVANT. This literary crime thriller takes place in Prague on the eve of Passover in 1592. A young Christian girl is found murdered in a Jewish shop. The Jews are accused of stealing the girl's blood, a crime that threatens to remove what little security and freedom they have. Benyamin Ben-Akiva, a Talmudic scholar, is given three days by the Christian authorities to find the real killer, or the entire Jewish population could face annihilation. Ken candidly explains to John Aberle how his love of history, research and how it applies to life experiences, played a vital role in the development of THE FIFTH SERVANT, which in many ways can be considered his life's work.

Ken and John also discussed discuss how Ken was able to flesh out his latest heroine, ex-NYPD cop Filomena Buscarsela—the tough-talking, street-smart Latina heroine who appears in THE GLASS FACTORY. This mystery series centers on Filomena, who discovers that a high tech Long Island factory is spewing poisons into the water supply, and she is sure that the contaminator is none other than her old nemesis, a cutthroat industrial polluter with an airtight financial empire. The series will continue with two new books, RED HOUSE and BLOOD LAKE, both expected for 2014.

RTC Publicity's Rebecca Crowley on the difficulty of navigating into technology waters.

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2013 -- Because of the nature of my work, friends and families assume that I run out and buy every hot new device on the market. Everyone assumes I read only e-books. Of course, I know every single app in existence by memory. Oh yeah-and I know how to write code for a website, convert books to any e-book platform, and I do graphic design.

It got me thinking of what I call "Technology Insecurity." Even normally confident, well-versed, down-to earth people have it. No one wants to be like their mom in the 80's who had to have one of her kids program the VCR. Or like a dear older friend of mine, Judy, who without fail panics every time call waiting goes off: "Wait, Becky, don't let me lose this call. Wait to hang up!" (Spoken in a thick New Jersey accent).

My brother falls under the normally confident category. After I got my new iPhone, he called and said, "I have an archaic blackberry." I wasn't judging at all! It was an unprompted retort. I replied, "It's not what technology you have, it's how you use what you already own."

Isn't that true about everything in life? Work with what ya' got? Anyone who does the math will realize that it is not sustainable to own every hot new technology—and this includes the LATEST versions (tablets, e-readers, phones, cameras of all types, the "i-this" and the "i-that," satellite radio, in addition to countless apps). Add to that all the time spent on social marketing site that is NOT spent earning a living to pay for the multiple devices. You get the picture. It's a broke-mentality that encourages the epidemic technology insecurity.

So I am starting a movement for leaders nationwide to help me stop Technology Insecurity. I will start with my "I'm-not-as-tech-savvy as you think confessions," followed by a list of statements that have become pet peeves of mine.

CONFESSIONS:

I upgraded to an iPhone 4, BEFORE the 5 and I fought it all the way. I was too busy to deal with the amount of battery that eats up the iPhone 5. In addition, at the time, the amount of accessories needed have not yet caught up with the new technology.

I still have a Dell. For no other reason than the fact that I am so sick of life's changes, I just want something to be the same. And I really don't think anything is wrong with that.

I never owned an iPad and it was an active decision of mine. I read the media coverage for about 6 months before the Ipad came out in 2010. The first model did not have a camera. I really don't think it was for no other reason than to make it obsolete fast therefore costing consumers more money. I simply cannot support that. I'm used to that from Microsoft so I don't see Apple as the next best solution.

I have a Kindle Fire. I've had it for 8 months and I'm still figuring things out. I'm a newbie to touchscreen technology.

I like to read the actual newspaper. Yup, the one that gets ink on your fingers.

I have a Gmail account but I do not check it. I still use Outlook and find it the most reliable and the most intuitive. This is actually a topic I could go on and on about. I have found a serious problem with people's organizational skills since Gmail has been created. Early in my career, someone losing one of my emails was a rare occurrence. Now, it happens daily.

I have trouble with the remote controls in our house. My fiancee is responsible for turning the TV and cable on and off.

RANTS:

I am responsible for my inbox and you are responsible for yours. Send me as many emails as you want. It's up to me whether I read them and respond or not.
Sub-rant: That includes subject lines. I do not know what your search terms are. I have not even optimized my website quite yet.

Why would I store my passwords in an app that I have to remember the password for and if someone finds my phone, they have access to everything?

Just because you have an iPhone and are pretty good at using it does NOT mean you are "up" on technology. Technology is constantly evolving. Yes, the touchscreen is cool and it is much like a computer but the digital age started many years ago and contrary to popular belief-it is not 100% owned by Apple.

I was upset about my latest computer crash and posted it on Facebook. Someone (and this happens ALL the time) posted, "You should've gotten a Mac." Fascinating. I had never thought of that. And WOW, that statement is so amazingly helpful while I'm trying to retrieve the info from my current computer and salvage some work time. Thanks so much for your "ready-to-help" attitude.

The point is this: we are ALL navigating the murky waters together. I know things you do not. You, I am sure, know things that I do not. I make a choice to wait until the kinks are worked out before investing in a new device. What you decide to do in your technology decisions are yours alone. Let's not pressure each other and let's help each other out. Technology Insecurity is unnecessary!

RTC Publicity’s Rebecca Crowley on Social Marketing for Businesses

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2013 -- When I first moved to New York City and got my first job as a publicity assistant at Penguin, a friend in the industry took me to my first networking cocktail hour. She was very patient. This was uncharted waters for a Midwesterner new to the big city. She showed me how to ease into conversation and meet new people in a positive way–people who could help me down the road.

That was my first foray into "networking" as it used to be known. After that I joined PPA (Publishers Publicity Association), I met even more people in publishing. From there I met authors, mostly over email. I always looked forward to meeting people in person at conventions, events and through my travels. I was a good career gal. I dully collected business cards and kept that Rolodex with me to this day. It's overflowing. I'll keep it forever–a reminder of my first years in the world of networking. It'll be next to my camera that requires film!

I looked at it the other day, as I was setting up my new home office in Savannah. When was the last time I looked at it? I honestly can't remember. Except for a few numbers it's probably severely outdated. People move jobs, change careers and move from city to city these days. How do we keep in touch?

Through the nature of RTC Publicity, I have had clients all over the country. I was able to do business in New York for many years, build my business and meet many of the people I collected cards for in person. Some of these contacts have become dear friends to this day who I hope to see again in future travels as I work to rebuild my business in Georgia.

In 2005, a client introduced me to Linkedin (I even remember her name-Angela Culver of ACLynn). This was before the term "social marketing" was an everyday phrase in this modern world. I accepted invitations for many years and in the past year I re-evaluated linked-in. It gives us all the opportunity to keep our "contacts" in a central database online. When someone changes jobs or moves, they change their contact information along with it. Same goes for Facebook. Today it's easy to keep in touch and to meet people 1000s of miles away. Now I well over 2000 contacts on linked-in and I can honestly say the majority I consider quality relationships. Some are old friends, old clients, vendors but some have become NEW friends, NEW clients and NEW vendors. And I met them all without having to leave my home or office.

It's now commonplace to say "link-in with me" or "friend me."

This year I have been lucky to meet a lot of new people and haven't gone to a single networking event. In fact, I don't have time to. Don't get me wrong, nothing beats a face-to-face meeting and never will, but why go to a staged event when everyone is hanging out online looking for mutually beneficial relationships? I guess you can say we are "vetting" people now. For the most part, you can see past the fluff on profiles. Once I meet people in person, I often forget how we met in the first place. Networking has become a natural way of daily life, not a function you attend once a month.

My most extreme example of global networking comes from my trip to India in September 2008. I had worked with everyone in Mumbai for the majority of the year and it was my turn to get to know the lay of the land and inner workings of the hotel industry in Southern India. It was a bonding trip for me and a dozen out there. Guess what? 2 years later we're still connected. Half a globe away and Facebook kept these people in my life. People who if I saw them in person soon, I know we could pick up right where we left off.

So instead of meeting someone and following up with an email nicety, we are emailing and connecting with people we'll meet later on. A lot of people aren't used to this, but it is the way now. It's a way to keep people close by as life and careers change.

Is the old model of networking gone for good? Contrived meetings set to find people who could benefit you? Who knows? I do know I am no longer out there on a hunt looking to find someone who could benefit my career. Instead, I am looking to meet people I can help out and they can pay it forward. It'll come back to me. What you put out is what you get in return. It's proven to be true.

Someday soon, I'll meet everyone in person and forge a stronger bond–nothing can replace that. This is a global society–fortunately, we are never too far from that face-to-face meeting.

RTC Publicity’s Rebecca Crowley on The Fast Paced World of Technology

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/24/2013 -- While preparing for my wedding in 2010 (disclaimer: that did not end well but I still looked pretty!) I took an interest in vintage fashion. I designed an Audrey Hepburn look, collecting truly authentic pieces, and researching hair and make-up styles, that I hoped would do my ensemble, and Audrey, justice. I think I succeeded, and I guess I did - I was even featured in an online wedding magazine: (link to: http://www.weddingdresses.com/real-wedding-style/2011/04/a-vintage-inspired-wedding/#.Ua9IwUDCaSo). I thought what I was doing was different and fresh! Little did I know that everything old is new again, sometime – and I was at the beginning of the trend bringing back old-timey looks!

Fast forward to 2013, where vintage fashion is everywhere - from the streets of New York to Los Angeles, and everywhere in between, including my new home, Savannah, GA. Apparently I was on to something three years ago. An emerging trend. And this got me thinking about trends, and how they start and catch on. When I studied in Rome in 1997, and returned to the States four months later, I was shocked at how long it took for the US to catch up with the hottest trends in Europe which at the time included cell phones and big chunky heels.). It took about 6 months! The internet DID exist (wow, I'm dating myself) but it was not so intrinsically woven into our daily lives. At my Rome campus we had to sign up for half hour shifts to use "the email", and that was satisfactory because most of our families and friends weren't really online. Now students travel to that campus and access its free WiFi on all of their own personal devices, 24 hours a day.

The internet, and the interconnected marketing that it supports, has forever changed the way trends and ideas spread around the world. It allows them to catch on like wild fire and seemingly instantaneously. Just look at Gangnam Style. Whereas in 1997, it may have taken 6 months for the chunky heels popular in Italy to be seen at the malls in the suburbs, today you can see the shoes on the Italian Shoe Feed you follow on Facebook, and order them to arrive within a couple days! Or 24 hours, if you're willing to pay for it. And this got me thinking – everyone's walking around these days looking like they fell out of The Great Gatsby, checking their Facebook or posting to Instagram on their iPhone or Pad – what a juxtaposition! Vintage fashion and the latest technology. I wondered what does this say about our culture. As we race for the next hot item from Apple or Google, we also race to find the vintage pieces, or those that look it.

I truly think we all are, myself included, longing for a simpler time. A time when mom stayed home and left notes in our lunch box with a lipstick kiss. A place where we took the time to BE with our families, and not simply Skype with them. That is not to say parents aren't doing their best: they, are in this ever-changing and demanding world and time we live in. However, as a society, I think we have failed a generation because we were racing to work, grabbing our latte on the go, always late, always rushing – and all just to maintain a standard of living (including every new piece of technology) that only a dual-income family could provide.

A year ago, I would've told you I would be a New Yorker for life. Now, after examining my life, where I've been and where I want to be and what I TRULY value at my core, I have moved to Savannah, Georgia. I, like so many of you I see sporting suspenders and bowties, or cloche hats, long for a simpler time and place. A time and place where stopping for conversation is an everyday occurrence (and I don't mean stopping on the side walk to answer a text). Where my hyper-speed New York walk, will slow a few beats. I'm taking my iPhone and my vintage clothes, and making the move. I'm looking forward to it.

Westerville, OH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/17/2013 -- Nicole Johnson, the Founder of Baby Sleep Site®, is pleased to release her new e-book, geared toward helping new moms cope with the struggles that come along with newborn sleep. It's never too soon to come up with a sleep plan for a new baby. Nicole Johnson is here to help pregnant moms prepare with ESSENTIAL KEYS TO YOUR NEWBORN'S SLEEP (e-book, all formats: $9.99).

Nicole Johnson offers the truth behind the many myths moms everywhere are told as they prepare for the arrival of their newborn baby:

MYTH: All babies should sleep through the night by 4 months old.
FACT: 4 months is often the time that a baby may be physically able to sleep through the night, but many babies need a night feed until around 6 months, if bottle fed, or 9 months, if breastfed. Not all babies are the same.

MYTH: If baby is tired enough, she will sleep through the night, or take a long nap.
FACT: Over-tiredness actually causes difficultly falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep and increased waking in the early morning hours.

MYTH: Babies wake because they are breast-fed.
FACT: Infants wake because their nervous system is still immature and incapable of sleeping through the night. Older babies wake because they are unable to soothe.

MYTH: My baby is just a poor sleeper. There's nothing I can do about it.
FACT: Sleep is influenced by BOTH a baby's natural makeup, and how we respond to them. Parents have a large influence over baby's sleep.

MYTH: My baby is happy and does not need a nap.
FACT: Babies and toddlers compensate tiredness by appearing even more alert.

"When baby sleeps properly," says Nicole Johnson, "the whole family is at ease. My team and I are here to help you get there."

RTC Publicity's Rebecca Crowley on the importance of service.

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/16/2013 -- Since being in business since 2004, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for two things: 1) creative marketing that makes you stop and think 2) good customer service. The two together are a deadly combination in business.

I am the type of person that fills out a questionnaire or survey after good service instead of simply complaining about the bad. I think positive reinforcement for both customers and the companies they do business with is on the wane in our society. What has happened to smiles, pleases, thank you's and taking responsibility for our mistakes instead of denying that the customer is always right.

I'm the type of person that will message a business's public Facebook page and say "I'm impressed by your marketing" instead of "liking" a picture of my sister's cat. Every single week at my visit to the Hoboken ShopRite, I am repeatedly impressed by Shoprite's dedication to problem solving and customer service. I used to avoid the line for deli meat because I could easily eat an hour there. Then one day I saw something remarkable. There is a convenient pick-up spot for your own very fresh deli meat and cheeses. ShopRite management read my mind. A solution to my weekly dilemma! Call ahead and place your order. Brilliant. Why? Problem: long line during peak times. Solution: reward customers for planning ahead. I LOVE going grocery shopping because I respect the ShopRite chain for always going above and beyond to make my life easier without making it too expensive. Their reward? My repeat business and public proclamation of my love for this local grocer on a national forum.

ShopRite understands that the essence of a quality product, service or even good employee is starting with the question: "How can I make your life easier today?" I have paid special attention on this topic since Hurricane Sandy last October when ShopRite in my previous hometown of Hoboken, NJ, closed and my life actually because significantly more difficult. There wasn't enough convenient, affordable products to support our community. My daily life felt like an eternal errand. And I, the girl who believes in smiling no matter what the circumstance, became very, very cranky. I vehemently craved an easier way to get from point A to point B. I was tired, boy was I tired. I would've paid top dollar to the person at any of these establishments in my one-mile-square home who stepped in and said, "How can I help you today?"—and meant it.

The Great Recession has been long and miserable, but in many ways it has revived the true spirit of Capitalism in the US. I admit, even I became lazy in my marketing before January 2010 when I was forced to re-structure my company. It was tough-but I'm better for it. And I think my clients are too. It is true, out of struggle comes resourcefulness and ingenuity. The whole "I walked a mile in the snow" line our parents and grandparents used to say. I truly believe that the companies left standing today in the New Economy are not only surviving but they are thriving and will continue to do so. In a time when smart companies offer more services to their clients and have remained responsive to the public's needs, I urge Americans to answer the basic question: "How can I help you today? How can I make your life easier?"

I urge those who are servicing people in any industry to remember to smile, say please and thank you. People remember someone who has kept them smiling. Let us not forget loyalty. In this economy, with more competition, it has become tough to stay loyal. So remember those brownie points, however small. Lastly, make an effort to make someone else's life easier. In business and in life, it is simply the right thing to do.

In the end we—customers and service professionals alike—are the winners of supreme client satisfaction.

Savannah, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/24/2013 -- Confession: I have no formal training as a publicist. I have no degree in Communications, or Journalism, or Public Relations - and I have never claimed to! For me, PR was a job I fell into and in love with. It became a calling. And in my experience, while books and networking and workshops can be helpful, there's nothing like being on the job for training. That, coupled with a solid broad-based liberal arts education that teaches you to think critically are the best "formal trainings" you can have to launch a career in PR.

Confession: I am a nerd and a book worm! PR is my calling and my career, and now that I'm on the job, and have been for 12 years, I do find myself reading as much as possible on the field of PR to deepen and broaden my expertise. I love to read anyway, I specialize in PR for books, and I love PR – so it makes sense that I do a lot of background reading, and self-edification.

The Father of Spin: Edward L. Bernays and the Birth of Public Relations is standard reading in a college level course: PR: 101. And while it was inspiring, I don't think that in college, I would have appreciated reading it the way I do now, as someone well invested in her career of choice. Bernays is popularly believed to be the "Father of Public Relations" – even touted as much in his obituary in The New York Times! He was a risk taker, an energetic entrepreneur and a pioneer in the field.

There is a lot of controversy about this title. Bernays was one to toot his own horn, take credit for his work (which publicists should do) and document just about everything in his career. However, there were many publicists and PR specialists that were his contemporaries. BUT it is also true that Bernays defined PR in a whole new way—he gave it a name. Prior to the 1920's the term was "Press Agent." Bernays saw his role as so much bigger—and had the ideas to back it up, so he deemed himself the first "Public Relations Counselor."

No matter what the controversy in dates and who's who, all PR pros can make their own mark. In many senses reading this book now has inspired me and reminded me of something I already knew: In many ways we must go back to our roots. YES—social media is bringing us in a different direction but some things remain constant: clients want accountability and big ideas executed now more than ever. And that accountability and execution of big ideas is precisely what Bernays stood for.

Bernays was known for creating an "overt act," the first of the PR stunt categories in which the reporters could not see such an event as anything but newsworthy. He saw the potential in thinking of PR as a two-way street. Just as much as news of a company/organization/government needed to be put out there, he believed it was the Public Relations expert's job to form public opinion and create trends. It's no grand coincidence that the Father of PR was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. It is said that Bernays influence on American (and many cases international) society was equivalent of the influence that of Freud's influence on the field of psychology. Think about that. There's no one more associated with psychology than Sigmund Freud. Bernays revealed the origins of his learning by believing he could single handedly move the masses with "mass psychology," much of which he learned from his Viennese uncle.

So we must all go back to these roots. We must be aware of what's happening around us and how we can affect modern culture with the many tools we have. This was an era when publicists were friendly with reporters and not spamming them with unfounded information. We must substantiate things in fact.

Our dedication to our clients, above all else, must warrant the money they are investing in us. For someone to pay a publicist, and for the publicist to take it, implies a symbiotic relationship of "I believe in you." Bernays had such intense energy, for all of his clients and work, that it was infectious. Publicists should model their behavior accordingly—we must gather our energy and harness it and utilize it to execute big ideas on behalf of and with, our clients. To move the public with "mass psychology". Social media gives us immediacy and a chance to have a real conversation with those we are looking to influence and we should tap into that for all its worth. But the traditional pillars of PR and traditional PR are not dead – just enhanced.

I hope to inspire and be inspired. I hope to take advantage of all the lessons and expertise of both my "on the job" experience and my "book learning" to best conceptualize and execute the big ideas for my clients.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/28/2013 -- In July, award-winning author Kenneth Wishnia's video on "Moral Pollution" went viral. In response to this, Wishnia and his team joined forces with Circle of Seven Productions to create a book trailer that would visually represent the tone and plot of THE GLASS FACTORY(PM Press; August 2013; Trade PB: $16.99; E-book $9.99). Images of the tough-talking, street-smart Latina heroine hit readers' monitors in this highly-anticipated video production.

Kenneth Wishnia does not disappoint in the third installment of the Filomena Buscarsela mystery series aimed to make readers stop and think—and the video, released today in honor of this book, shatters viewers' expectations.

"Readers respond to the sassiness of Filomena coupled with her eagerness to make things right in the world," says Wishnia. "I feel that Circle of Seven has accurately portrayed the causes that Filomena struggles with in THE GLASS FACTORY."

THE GLASS FACTORY is a fictional representation of the themes that Wishnia has become so popular for creating a dialogue about online, in bookstores, and in the media. Wishnia is often the central figure in bringing together both fiction and non-fiction authors nationwide to support various arguments.

"I hope that the latest video will get people thinking… and maybe even reading," adds Wishnia.

And perhaps later… advocating.

Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2013 -- Libby Fischer Hellmann has made a name for herself over the past decade as the author of "Compulsively Readable Thrillers." With ten novels and nearly twenty short stories published, Hellmann is a diverse, talented author whose work spans the range of the crime fiction genre. Not only is Hellmann an accomplished writer, but she is leading the way in promotion innovations in what is a very crowded social marketing landscape.

One new technology Hellmann has incorporated is a Glossi, a short, multi-media magazine designed to be viewed online. In Hellmann's case, it showcases her newest thriller, HAVANA LOST, which is set largely in Cuba. It can be viewed at http://glossi.com/LibbyHellmann/31548-havana-lost.

"I'm not afraid to try new things," says Hellmann, "I seem to have a sense whether something works or doesn't, and I highly recommend Glossi's. I like them even more than a video trailer because readers can browse at their leisure." Hellmann was introduced to Glossi by her nephew. Thus far, the tool has primarily been used by the fashion industry but Hellmann believes Glossi's are an ideal vehicle for authors who want to build excitement for an upcoming novel. The timing was perfect, too, as HAVANA LOST will be out next month.

"HAVANA LOST is a historical thriller," she says, "but most Americans only have a foggy idea of Cuba's past. The Glossi helped me capture the essence of both past and present. By using some of the photos I took when I was in Cuba and marrying them to excerpts from the novel, I was able to move beyond 'promotion' and expose readers to a bit of the history and events that have made Cuba what it is today."

In terms of results, the Glossi has proven to be the real deal for Ms. Hellmann. The HAVANA LOST Glossi was featured on the company's website. A few days later Digital Book World, one of the leaders in e-book news, did a feature on it (http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013/are-ebooks-going-glossi/) as well.

Sitting down with Hellmann to "talk shop" is a fascinating experience. When discussing the industry and the trials and tribulations of today's midlist author, Hellmann is quick to suggest ideas off the cuff for fellow authors. Her experience is vast—and it shows. Hellmann made her start in broadcast journalism, moved to public relations, and went on to create the very successful Fischer Hellmann Communications. Now, because of her efforts in social marketing, Hellmann is considered one of the top practitioners in her field. In fact, she is an integral part of the author collective, "Top Suspense."

"Incorporating new technology is vital to any marketing campaign, especially in today's volatile publishing climate," says Hellmann. "And hey… sometimes it even works," she laughs.

ABOUT HAVANA LOST (Now Available for Pre-Order)
On the eve of the Cuban Revolution, headstrong 18-year-old Francesca Pacelli flees from her ruthless Mafia-boss father in Havana to the arms of her lover, a rebel fighting with Fidel Castro. Her father, desperate to send her to safety in the US, resorts to torture and blackmail as he searches the island for her.

So begins the first part of a spellbinding saga that spans three generations of the same family. Decades later the Pacelli family is lured back to Cuba by the promise of untold riches. But pursuing those riches brings danger as well as opportunity, and ultimately, Francesca must confront the lethal consequences of her choices. From the troubled streets of Havana to the mean streets of Chicago, HAVANA LOST reveals the true cost of chasing power instead of love.

HAVANA LOST is award-winning author Libby Fischer Hellmann's tenth novel and third thriller that explores how strife and revolution affect the human spirit. HAVANA LOST is a testament to Hellmann's gift for authentic historical detail as well as her talent for writing compulsively readable thriller.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2013 -- Ex-NYPD cop Filomena Buscarsela—the irrepressible urban crime fighter of 23 Shades of Black and Soft Money—is back in THE GLASS FACTORY (PM Press; August 2013; Trade PB: $16.99; E-book $9.99). This time, the tough-talking, street-smart Latina heroine sets her sights on seemingly idyllic suburbia, where an endless sea of green lawns hides a toxic trail of money…and murder.

But something is rotten on Long Island. When Filomena discovers that a high tech Long Island factory is spewing poisons into the water supply, she's sure that the contaminator is none other than her old nemesis, a cutthroat industrial polluter with an airtight financial empire. Armed only with an ax to grind, the gutsy Filomena knows she'll have to play dirty to clean up the neighborhood.

Her search for justice introduces her to the unfamiliar scent of privilege—from the state-of-the-art chemistry lab of a local university to the crumbling ruins of a beach-front estate, from a glimmering high-society party to an intimidating high-security chemical plant—and immerses her in the all-too-familiar stench of political corruption and personal greed. Once again, Filomena's nose for trouble has drawn her into a case that's more than a little hazardous to her health. As the action heats up, she must juggle the dangers of the investigation with the demands of raising her three-year-old daughter and the delights of a surprising new romance.

Kenneth Wishnia does not disappoint in the 3rd installment of the Filomena Buscarsela mystery series aimed to make readers stop and think—and maybe chuckle, too.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/16/2013 -- Pollution has been always linked to the environment but is it possible to pollute the human soul? That's the topic two crime novelists and a senior project manager at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be tackling in a thought-provoking panel discussion on "moral pollution in fiction" called "Environmental Fact and Fiction: Crime Novelists Take On the Polluters of Bodies and Souls" at NYC famed bookstore, Bluestockings on Wednesday, August 7th starting at 7 PM. The event is free to the public.

Hess, a hydrogeologist and senior project manager at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Ken defines moral pollution as "the idea that government corruption and the poisoning of our environment by corporations with very little accountability poisons, not only the land, air and sea but also souls of people whose livelihood depends on keeping this corrupt system of corporate maleficence running."

Wishnia's highly acclaimed stand-alone, The Fifth Servant, was an Indie Notable selection, one of the "Best Jewish Books of 2010" according to the Association of Jewish Libraries, a finalist for the Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery Award, and winner of a Premio Letterario ADEI-WIZO.

Crime novelist Dominic Martell uses years of research into terrorism to help dissect the mind of Today’s Terrorists

Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2013 -- Crime novelist Dominic Martell, author of the recently published international terrorist novel, LYING CRYING DYING, will be speaking live with "Life Unedited" Host John Aberle about the inner workings of the terrorist mind. The interview can be heard starting at 11:00AM EST on Saturday, June 29th on WCHE 1520 AM (http://www.wche1520.com/lifeunedited.htm) in the Philadelphia market.

The recent Boston Patriots Day bombing would seem straight out of a crime novel turned Hollywood summer blockbuster. The plot would entail two young men from a troubled region who come to America, where they are welcomed into the freest, most prosperous and most tolerant country on Earth. They are given welfare and a good education, yet they repay this nation's kindness by becoming terrorists, killing and maiming innocent Americans in one of the worst terrorist attacks in American history.

According to crime author Dominic Martell (http://dominicmartell.com/), while European terrorists of yesteryear differ from the jihadists of today, there are similarities. The use of terrorist acts as propaganda is a common thread among the two generations. Understanding the common denominators may be key in tapping into the mind of a bomber, explains Martell. He has studied the inner workings of terrorism for nearly two decades and will share his observations with John's audience and discuss his other crime novels.

Martell's recent novel LYING CRYING DYING represents the best in international terrorist novels. His main character, Pascual Rose, is a repentant ex-terrorist who became an informant and is living in Barcelona under a new identity, but cannot resist the temptation offered by the only colleague he did not betray. The book is part of a three-book crime series originally published by Orion and now available in e-book form from Premier Digital Publishing.

About Dominic Martell
Crime author Dominic Martell was raised in small Midwestern towns but has lived in the Chicago area for most of his life. He has also lived in Europe and traveled widely in Latin America and the Middle East. He has worked as a translator and a teacher. Under the pen name Sam Reaves, he has also written seven crime novels set in Chicago.

About Life Unedited
Life Unedited" runs live every Saturday from 11am - 12pm EST on WCHE 1520 AM in the Philadelphia market. Host John Aberle talks about anything and everything; sex, sports, politics, religion, mental health, etc. Nothing is off the table or taboo.
