AuthorHouse


Bloomington, IN (PRWEB) May 02, 2013

Author Solutions, Inc. (ASI), the world leader in indie book publishing, announced Wednesday that Keith Ogorek, senior vice president of corporate marketing, will join other publishing thought leaders on a panel about the affects of digital self-publishing on traditional publishers at Book Expo America 2013 in New York City. Titled “Self-Publishing: Disruptor or Defender of The Book Business?,” the panel will take place on May 31 at 2 p.m. ET in room 1E16 — East Hallway in the Javits Center.

Ogorek, who recently authored a white paper about the expansive choices in self-publishing titled “Four Paths to Publishing,” will be joined on the panel by James McQuivey, author of Digital Disruption; Christopher Kenneally, director of business development with the Copyright Clearance Center; and Angela James, executive editor at Carina Press.

AuthorHouse | New Book Brings Light to Darkness


Nigerian author Goke Coker releases collection of unique daily devotions.

Lagos, Nigeria (PRWEB) February 14, 2013

In “God’fessions: Daily Confessions of God’s Words and Promises over You” Biblical scholar Adegoke Coker provides a first person guide of daily affirmations with scriptural support for earthly struggles.
God’fessions is a term coined by Coker to explain the departure in the daily affirmations and prayers he suggests. A God’fession is a devotional confession to God written in first person and is supported with passages from scripture to serve as proof of God’s blessings in one’s life.

Coker wrote the book “out of personal experience and as a result of the need to get people to see the importance of speaking what God sees over what circumstances may be prevalent over their lives,” he says.
Coker’s “God’fessions” started when he would send out daily messages to all his Blackberry Messenger contacts, which inspired him to author this book. His daily “faith boosters” helped his followers and friends speak positivity and spirituality into their lives.

In the introduction of the book, Coker writes, “Words have a presence, power, and prophetic implication. Words have life.” This book seeks to help all individuals remain faithful in the present and in the future and will help them continue to be grateful for God’s ongoing blessings.

According to Coker, “This book will help you cultivate an awareness of your spiritual blessings and the limitless power of God as well as enable you to grow stronger in your faith.” Click here.

AuthorHouse Book Title | Colonial Romance

19.2.13 | Labels: , , ,

About the Author:


Reading has always been one of AuthorHouse author Connie’s favorite past times. During her early years in school her favorite reading material was about animals, especially horses. While in high school she began reading historical fictions and claims to have learned more history from fiction than from text books. Knowing she is not the only one who has had that experience she has tried to make the historical facts in her book as accurate as possible.

She says writing the book was a fun and loving experience but it was also challenging and educational. In her spare time she does volunteer work at the local animal shelter. Colonial Romance is Connie’s first published book but she has plans to write sequels to the book.  Watch for The Bugle's Call, the second book of the sequel to come out in December 2009.

They were about to go into the parlor when she heard a door open. Turning to see who had entered, her heart skipped a beat. For some unknown reason she was spellbound by the unshaven man in the rumpled shirt who had just come into the house. He was not as good looking as Charles but was very handsome, in a rugged sort of way and he had the bluest eyes she had ever seen. He looked like what she imagined Wiffiam Black had looked like thirty years earlier with his sparkling blue eyes and sun steaked hair. His skin was tanned a deep bronze. As their eyes met his mouth curved into a smile so brilliant it took her breath away. His very presence exuded self-confidence. Here was obviously a man who had no doubts about himself.

She heard Mrs. Black’s voice somewhere in the distance saying, “This tardy and un-kept person is our eldest son Nicholas. After you get cleaned up you may come back and I’ll introduce you to our guest.” At that he looked at his mother and without saying anything turned toward the stairs.

As her eyes followed him up the stairs she couldn’t help noticing how neatly the tight fitting trousers tapered into the high riding boots. As he topped the stairs he turned suddenly and their eyes met once again. He smiled at her and from the heat she felt in her cheeks she knew she must have blushed. She hoped no one had noticed. Now there is a man I’d like to get to know she thought.

As Pete lay inert, his skull slowly healed, though of course, he was not aware of this, or of events going on around him.
A nurse was allocated to him and was to spend her shifts attending to him. She gave him bed baths and physiotherapy to exercise his idle limbs and when she was not there, other nurses would attentively fulfill the duties. One early evening Pete’s eyes fluttered and slowly opened. He squinted hard at first, as his eyes adjusted to the light. He could make out a white ceiling, white walls and a sharp clean almost disinfectant type smell. Pete knew it was a hospital. Th is was confirmed when glancing to his right, he saw a woman dressed in
a white uniform and a long flowing head dress. At first, he was not sure if she was a nun, but seeing the watch pinned to her chest, recognised her for what she was, a nurse. Her olive skin contrasted sharply with the whiteness of her uniform and though he could
only see the side of her face, thought, she was pretty.

Anthony Linick Releases New Book in Doggy Series

Author announces the release of ‘A Doggy Day in London Town’



London (PRWEB) February 06, 2013

Has any dog ever received this much dedicated attention? “A Doggy Day in London Town” (published by AuthorHouse), the fourth volume in Anthony Linick’s Dog People of Paddington Rec cycle, answers this question. Nine years ago Linick began keeping a daily journal based on the activities of his pet and those of the friends he met each morning in a nearby London park. A truthful narrative that continues the tale of Fritz the Schnauzer, “A Doggy Day” includes all the joys and the tragedies of modern life.

“A Doggy Day in London Town” is also a record of the life and times of a great city – as experienced by an ever-changing catalogue of its citizens and visitors, people from many walks of life and nationalities who are nevertheless united in their love of the canine species. If we return to Samuel Pepys for a daily account of London life in the late 17th century it is no wonder that we can now do the same thing in the early part of the 21st century with this series by Anthony Linick – “the Pepys of Pups.”

In her late thirties, single, and caught up in the hustle of everyday life, she is disenchanted with her predictable lifestyle as a psychotherapist on the west coast of Florida. “Sammi” begins to experience troubling physical symptoms and turns to alternative medicine in her quest for answers. Through experimentation and curiosity, startling events begin to unfold, revealing a dream world where she becomes transfixed by an overpowering spiritual connection. This unlikely teacher shows Sammi how to move beyond her physical self, to be open to other levels of existence, to break free from the emotional bonds that hold her back.

As an exciting relationship blossoms in her present life, Sammi stumbles upon a centuries-old past, forcing her to examine personal beliefs as she struggles to stay adrift in both worlds. Held spellbound by her extraordinary history, she retraces her past life, discovering that it holds the key to her current dilemmas. She soon becomes entangled in a mysterious murder from which there is no turning back. Sammi must now solve the crime in order to cut the cord that binds her to a long-ago past, freeing her at last to live fully in the present.

Kathryne Arnold has interweaved themes of the paranormal with the current realities of everyday life, creating a complexly rich psychological tale. The Resurrection of Hannah is an unforgettable story of self-discovery, friendship, love beyond time and the resiliency of the human spirit.

published by AuthorHouse - Offers Recipes from Russia

23.1.13 | Labels: , , , , ,





Famed chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain, along with his friend Zamir Gotta, traveled to Russia in an episode of the Emmy Award-winning television show, "No Reservations," encapsulating his experience with the following words: "We've seen something of the Russian soul, and the Russian soul food. And I think we've learned that the two always go hand-in-hand." To share the beauty and tradition of Russian cooking comes the new cookbook by Ekaterina and Liudmila Bylinka, Home Cooking from Russia: a collection of traditional, yet contemporary recipes(published by AuthorHouse).

Home Cooking from Russia is a collection of traditional, yet contemporary recipes that have been loved in Russia for many years. It includes over 50 descriptions of culinary creations, along with historic notes on each, paired with beautiful full-color photographs of some of the most popular meals among Russian families.

The Bylinkas are not professionals. They are enthusiastic home cooks who are more than happy to share with readers their most cherished family recipes composed in a rustic and simple way.
"Today the market offers numerous wonderful English-written books about European, Asian and Western cooking styles, but there aren't too many cookbooks written in English which would share at least some of that traditional hearty home cooking in Russia," Ekaterina says.

Published by AuthorHouse - FACE OFF

23.1.13 | Labels: , ,


Author A.K pays a loving tribute to the sacrifices of his hard-working father in his new novel, "Face Off: July 13" (published by AuthorHouse).


Based on real events from the author's own life, "Face Off" tells the story of Ahmed, a mathematics and Arabic teacher from Somalia, and how he struggled to make a better life for himself and his family. After marrying Sara, he left his new wife and young family to find work in Saudi Arabia, where job prospects were much better.

Four years later, Ahmed returned home to meet the AK, the son he'd never met - Sara had been pregnant with AK, the couple's third child, when Ahmed left for Saudi Arabia. Unable to get a visa to return back to work in Saudi Arabia, "Face Off" goes on to recount how Ahmed devoted himself to supporting Sara and his children, first in war-torn Somalia, all the way to the United States.
Author A.K took inspiration from his relationship with his own father while writing "Face Off," describing his dad as someone "who taught me to be an upright human being with the greatest moral values as diamonds never lose their brightness." He goes on to say:

Readers will gain new insights into World Cup extravaganzas, Formula One races, the Olympics and everything in between - if it is a sport or sporting event, the author has covered it. Philips leaves nothing out as he takes readers behind the scenes and shows them how athletic spectacles happen and then expresses his views on the sports themselves. Philip also notes historical events that occurred at the same time he was broadcasting and what those historical events meant for him and the world.
