New Childrens Book Puts Original Spin on Sibling Rivalry; Book by Lizzie Jack

Apple Valley, Minn. (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

Sibling rivalry comes in many forms, so its no surprise a version might exist in the animal kingdom. This new childrens book features the story of Gabe, a downy-soft baby loon who believes he has a perfect life. His parents dote on him, and he gets all of their attention, riding on his mothers back and eating small fish from his father. But things change when his little sister Fluffy hatches. Now the newest bird in the nest is getting all of the attention. Pushed to a breaking point, Gabe begins to pick on his little sister. But when she finds herself threatened, her big brother learns his true feelings about his sister and comes to Fluffys rescue.

The Little Loony Tales tells the age-old story of sibling jealousy and rivalry through the eyes of this charming family of loons, as the baby chicks squabble over who gets to sit in front or who is getting more to eat. B.T. Bonnells colorful illustrations of the black and white birds and their idyllic lakeside home pair beautifully with this heartwarming tale. Families can read together, receiving a lesson on nature especially the habits of loons as well as how to get along with one another in their own nest.

Author Lizzie enjoys Michigans Upper Peninsula, and author Jack loves the Monterey Coast. This is the first book for the pair, who share a fascination with the great outdoors and loons. They are already working on a second book, Little Loony Tales: Dive, Chicks, Dive. This is the first book graphic artist B.T. Bonnell has illustrated. She lives in Minneapolis.

Special Agents Star in New Thriller Featuring Corruption, Murder & Political Intrigue; Book by Donald W. Tucker

Phoenix, Ariz. (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

A group of self-named outcasts Special Agents Wesley Charles and Louis Boron, sexy DEA agent Wendy Weisman and Seattle Police officer James Allen wish they were anywhere but a three-month seminar in Dallas for the Federal Law Enforcement Supplement Office in this new thriller set in 1981. They discover something menacing behind The Complexs facade of inter-agency cooperation: a conspiracy that threatens the entire country. They find it impossible to resist investigating a case featuring a Ku Klux Klan demonstration, breaking and entering, murder, political backstabbings and cover-ups.

The Complex delves into the issues of political corruption, the illegal use of law enforcement and racism, as Wes finds himself passed over for promotion after making more cases than any other agent in his office including the biggest counterfeit bust in the history of the U.S. Secret Service. Bigoted sheriffs police, suspicious-acting state troopers and employees with vacation homes and flashy SUVs add fuel to the fire. When one of them is murdered, they realize they have made a dangerous enemy. A deadly explosion adds just one more obstacle in this case that may have ripple effects at this countrys highest political levels before it comes to its final, unexpected conclusion.

This is the second book for author Donald Tucker, who owns a private investigation agency. The first was his autobiography, The Two-Edged Sword. Tucker worked with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in Chicago after earning a degree in sociology/criminology from the University of Iowa. He transferred to the U.S. Secret Service, where he was promoted to special agent in charge of the Secret Service Office for Arizona. Tucker earned a presidential appointment as U.S. Marshal for Arizona and was selected as Chief of Court Security in Washington, D.C. for the federal court system nationwide before returning to Arizona.

Authors Book Reveals a Fresh Perspective of Christian Persecution

Longwood, FL (Vocus) July 27, 2010

In todays world, many millions of Christians are living under the threat of persecution. According to some estimates, a staggering 52 countries are either hostile to Christians or outlaw Christianity entirely. Within the pages of author James Strouds Christianity in the 22nd Century: Jihad, Darwin, & Church-ianity ($ 18.99, paperback, 978-1-60957-104-7), readers will find a fresh and real-life view of Christianity that reveals the past history of Christian persecution, the logic of the Christian faith through apologetics, and the hypocrisy of Church-ianity vs. Christ-ianityall of which will play pivotal factors in the future of the faith.

The future of Christianity really does hang on the three points covered in this book: persecution through the world against Christians, skeptics, as well as believers becoming less confident in their faith, and a growing nature of Christians being recognized as being hypocritical and non-authentic, the author says. We must educate ourselves on these points and act now if we hope to preserve authentic Christianity into the 22nd century and beyond.

Stroud, who studied Christian persecution at Wesleyan College, says that he penned this book because the topics it covers are some of the most neglected in the Christian book field. When I go to a Borders or Barnes and Noble, I see tons of books on theology or self-help, but I have yet to see a single book cover these fields in any depth, he explains. But this book does, while being very readable with appendices on what steps the reader can take to get involved.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the worlds largest Christian publisher, with more than 7,300 titles published to date. Retailers may order Christianity in the 22nd Century through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. Christianity in the 22nd Century is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Bestselling Author Ken Fisher Releases Eighth Book

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB) November 10, 2011

Four-time New York Times bestselling author, 27-year Forbes columnist, and Fisher Investments CEO Ken Fisher released his eighth book, co-authored by Lara Hoffmans: Markets Never Forget (But People Do): How Your Memory Is Costing You Moneyand Why This Time Isn't Different (Wiley; November 2011; Hardcover and e-Book).

Why do so many investors make the same mistakes repeatedlybeing too bullish or too bearish at just the wrong times? Because they forget. "This time it's different," are the four most expensive words in the English language (according to investing legend Sir John Templeton). Yet many stock market investors routinely fall into the trap of thinking "now" is radically different. In his new book, Markets Never Forget, Ken Fisher shows readers how their memories play (often costly) tricks on themand how they can combat their faulty memories with just a bit of history.

This isn't to say history repeats itself perfectly. It doesn'tbut a recession is a recession. Some are vastly worse than othersbut investors have lived through them before. Credit crises aren't new, nor are bear marketsor bull markets. Geopolitical tension is as old as mankind, as is war and even terrorist attacks. Understanding how investors have reacted to similar past events can help guide investors in shaping better forward-looking expectations. The past never predicts the future, but it can reduce guesswork about what's ahead.

In this book, Ken Fisher takes aim at some major market memory mishapslike the idea stocks have become inherently more volatile or that wildly above- or below-average returns are abnormal. He shows how, early in every recovery, investors don't believe in itoften at a huge cost. And he shows how, in investing, ideology is deadly. Most important, he teaches how you can use history as one powerful tool to help begin reducing your error rate and help begin getting better investing results.

New Hilarious Humor Book Series Published -- Comical Captions

Lakeville, MN (PRWEB) November 17, 2005

Self published author Tom Rent announces the release of his first two books Comical Captions Books 1 & 2.

Comical Captions are small and affordable coffee-table sized gift books containing large black and white vintage photos matched up with hilarious and witty captions. The books are designed to be very entertaining and suitable for all ages. No racy images or foul language are used.

Each and every captioned photo usually draws a deep laugh from just about everyone who sees them. Its magical in a way. The photos themselves are not particularly funny, but the author dreams up a killer caption for it, it really is incredible how funny it is.

For instance, says Tom, I found one image where a nice lady was posing on the grass, but to me it looked like she was growing right out of the lawn as you couldnt see her legs. The caption took advantage of that quirk I wrote Though Ralph had a lawn service, Wild Dorothy kept sprouting up each spring.

Ive always had a good sense of humor and I was born with a witty mind, says Tom. Ive also always loved to write and do some sort of publishing. These books brought these things together, and it has been great seeing the books sell so well, including at Amazon.com

"When I looked into publishing options I decided to go with Lulu.com. a premier internet print-on-demand (POD) company. I love having total control over my books from start to finish, and being able to revise it myself. People can order from 1 to thousands of the books online, and Lulu takes care of the printing and shipping details. It was an incredible experience writing these books and I plan to add more to the Comical Captions series in the next year.

Im sure everyone will enjoy these books. They make great Christmas gifts.
