“Unblocked” Exposes Power Facebook Has On Teenagers Today; New PaperBack At Amazon.Com

“Unblocked: The Blocked Side of Facebook” is the compelling new book regarding teenagers on Facebook. The easy read is opening eyes and revealing a 'teenage Facebook world' that is undeniable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 06, 2012 -
"Unblocked" is delivering a glimpse in what teenagers are reading and writing about on Facebook. The new book is 200 pages and is available in paperback through the Amazon.Com store.

“Unblocked: The Blocked Side of Facebook” is all about how teens communicate their thoughts and emotions in the social media world. The book involves characters that readers come to know with love, disdain, pity or admiration. The revealing account of teenagers sharing their entire life over Facebook delves into what teen’s most like, think, eat, drink, feel, and every other little detail that happens to them daily.

"Unblocked" uncovers the blocked side of Facebook. It is no secret that owners of accounts have their own choices when it comes to privacy and who sees what’s on the popular social networking site. Teens have learned to block the things they don’t want their parents or other family members to see. Additionally, parents cannot see everything their child is seeing and reading about on Facebook, unless they are friends with all of their friends.

Facebook is a regular daily interaction for many, especially teenagers. It is a communication tool that is highly addictive and intriguing to young minds. The book delivers the true reality including grammatical errors, typos, and misspelled words that have been purposely included to give a more accurate portrayal of how teenagers communicate on Facebook. The paperback includes a unique 'Slang and Emoticons Dictionary' in the back of the book, to help readers decipher the slang and emoticons often used by teenagers, and also throughout the book.

Little Bunny with Big Legacy Makes Debut at Savannah Children’s Book Festival on November 10

The $7.50 Bunny That Changed The World

New book, $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World, initiates adoption education movement that bunnies need in an entertaining story that kids want!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 05, 2012 -
Savannah, GA – Instead of a cape and muscles, Flopsy Parker used a Facebook page to inspire humans to pay attention to rabbits that end up in shelters. Now a new children’s book, The $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World, continues Flopsy’s mission to educate people about bunnies through author Gretta Parker’s intriguing story. This children’s book is a tribute to Flopsy’s life, the people he inspired, and proof that even the smallest of creatures can live the biggest of lives.

Gretta Parker will be traveling from her home and recently opened bunny rescue center in West Virginia to unveil her new book at the Savannah Children’s Book Festival in Georgia on November 10. Parker will be selling signed copies of her book and interacting with kids at the event in Forsyth Park from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
In addition to founding the nonprofit organization, Baskets for Bunnies, which gives supplies to bunny rescue groups, Parker opened The Flopsy Parker Memorial Sanctuary to house special needs rabbits earlier this year.

“Preserving Flopsy's memory will always be my number one priority,” says Parker. “There are still a lot of injustices that rabbits face due to agricultural laws that currently govern them. Until legal changes are made, I will always fight for the little ones who do not have a voice. Flopsy was my son and my greatest teacher.”

While Flopsy probably began life as an Easter gift for a child, he remained silent about his beginnings. Through his adopted mommy, Flopsy tells the stories of his life in the shelter. This delightful, heartwarming, and real-life story, as told from Flopsy Parker’s point of view, is sure to tweak your bunny bone.

Beginning with Flopsy’s first book, his story has continued to inspire people all over the world to help adoptable bunnies. This newest edition is full of fabulous photographs of the main character as he tells his story.

For those unable to attend the festival, look for The $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World in hardcover (http://shop.boutiqueofqualitybooks.com/The-750-Bunny-That...), paperback (http://shop.boutiqueofqualitybooks.com/The-750-Bunny-That...), or eBook (http://www.amazon.com/7-50-Bunny-Changed-World-ebook/dp/B...) through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book retailers beginning November 13. The book is also available to order through BQB Publishing’s online store, bqbpublishing.com.

About the Author

Gretta Parker first self-published her debut book The Easter Bunny That Grew Up about the rabbit she adopted, Flopsy Parker. Her story centers around bunnies who need forever homes. She began by posting antics on Facebook. She has since started the Flopsy Parker Memorial Sanctuary for elderly bunnies, special needs bunnies, or bunnies with behavioral issues. The $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World celebrates Flopsy’s life in pictures and expands on the lessons he taught her. She wrote this book to inspire people to go their own local shelters and rescues around the globe and to adopt or volunteer.

Parker is the mother of five bunnies, all adopted from shelters, and runs Baskets for Bunnies, Inc., a nonprofit that supplies rescues with supplies. She plans to start a series of clinics in the United States that offer low-cost rabbit spay and neuter services in Flopsy’s name. To learn more, visit grettaparker.com

Discover Weston County’s History in New Bo

Local authors release new book featuring stunning collection of vintage images

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 05, 2012 -
New to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of America series is Weston County by local author Shelly Ritthaler and Mike Jording. This pictorial history boasts more than 200 vintage images and provides readers with a unique opportunity to reconnect with the history that shaped their community.

Tucked in the northeast corner of Wyoming against the Black Hills is Weston County. The county has served as a gateway, byway, and way of life and living. In the beginning, it was home to dinosaurs and volcanoes. Nomadic Indians then wandered through leaving signs of their passing and the great Sioux Indian Nations held this land dear.

Finally, the area was seen as a place to settle since the mineral-rich land and rolling grasslands provided an economic backdrop for people to stay and build a home for their families. Today, Weston County people are as diverse as this magnificent land of rugged timber that flows into sagebrush and short-grass prairies.

Highlights of Weston County include:
• The Gateway to the Black Hills
• Homestead to Home
• Railroads and Cambria
• Weston County Towns

Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or online.

Unseen 1940s Book From Hollywood's Famous Douglas Fairbanks Family To Debut in January 2013

Children's book PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY surfaces after more than 70 years with inspiring message for both kids and adults

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Princess April Morning-Glory by Letitia Fairbanks

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 06, 2012 - Hollywood, CA - - What kind of a world would you create, if you had to do three good deeds to make it home again? The answer to that crucial question, as given by the title character in Letitia Fairbanks’s charming fairy tale, PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY, tells a unique and captivating story. Although she lives a fabled life in a paradise called Fairyland, the princess makes a fateful decision to step outside of her cloistered existence to face the outside world and all of its temptations. Once outside The Enchanted Forest, the princess longs to return home, but she is told by a benevolent wizard that she must first do three good deeds. She follows his sage advice and starts her journey home, performing three good deeds, peerless in the annals of fairy tales. But along the way, Princess April is tempted by the wicked Fairy Misery with the promise of riches and fabulous fairy wings if she remains in the outside world and does Misery’s bidding. Which life will Princess April choose?

For its writing, beautiful illustrations, and moral weight, PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY -- written and illustrated by Letitia Fairbanks over seven decades ago -- can be compared to such classics as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s THE LITTLE PRINCE and Walt Disney’s classic film FANTASIA.
PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY also comes with a fascinating history. Letitia Fairbanks was the niece of the fabled silent film stars Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Mary Pickford. When she was a little girl, Letitia’s family moved to Hollywood from Utah after Douglas Fairbanks appointed his brother Robert, Letitia's father, to be the production manager of United Artists, the film company formed by Fairbanks, Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith.

Letitia, who was born in 1913, spent much of her childhood through early adulthood at Pickfair, the legendary estate built by Fairbanks and Pickford, where she was surrounded by the luminaries of the time. When she started writing and illustrating PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY in her twenties as a homage to her recently-deceased uncle, Letitia derived inspiration for the illustrations from then-current Hollywood blockbuster films, as well as deriving her portraiture from a composite of that era’s celluloid legends, along with immediate family members including her mother, father and sister, Lucile. The book was first copyrighted in 1941 and has not seen the light of day since.

Despite the book’s glamorous provenance, it’s the story, detailed imagery, and moral framework of PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY that make it special, says Kelley Smoot Garrett, Letitia’s stepdaughter and the successor trustee of the Ella Letitia Fairbanks Smoot Family Trust. Kelley, born in Texas and raised in New York City, holds a bachelor of science in geological sciences from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a consulting petroleum geologist from 1983-1995. She currently works in Austin as a business analyst/project manager for hi-tech companies.

Following the painstaking digital restoration of the original artwork by Kelley's husband, Danny Garrett, who, like Letitia, is an artist, Kelley has been collaborating with Amanda Millner-Fairbanks, the granddaughter of Letitia Fairbanks and Kelley's step-niece, to publish the long-lost manuscript. Amanda is a graduate of Smith College and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, the Boston Globe, Newsweek, and the Huffington Post.

PRINCESS APRIL MORNING-GLORY’S theme of, “you create your own destiny from the three good deeds you choose to do,” Kelley says, gives the book the potential to become a modern classic for all ages.

Greg Justice Released New Book "Mind Your Own Fitness - A Mindful Approach to Exercise" Nov. 1, 2012

Best Selling Author, Greg Justice of AYC Health & Fitness (Kansas City's Original Personal Training Center) released his latest book titled "Mind Your Own Fitness - A Mindful Approach to Exercise" on November 1, 2012.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MYOF Front Cover

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 05, 2012 - Best Selling Author, Greg Justice of AYC Health & Fitness (Kansas City's Original Personal Training Center) released his latest book titled "Mind Your Own Fitness - A Mindful Approach to Exercise" on November 1, 2012.

"It's fierce" "it's awesome" "it's miraculous", "it's true". These are just some of the words that people are using that have discovered the secret to dealing with their bodies and their minds for total fitness, health and well-being--a grand three-some. They report feeling healthier, happier, getting the results they've been wishing for, and even some amazing results they didn't expect. What is this wonderful secret behind these good tidings? Mindfulness, an idea that has been around for centuries, and that today has been trying to make its valuable presence known in the fitness world and it is here for you, personally, in Mind Your Own Fitness.

Your body is always available for talking to you and telling you how it feels. You do hear it groan with every muscle ache, bellyache, bloat or pain. What if you knew that simply getting your mind to be listening and communicating excellently with your body would change your moods, bring you the glow of optimal health, vim and vigor, and especially help you to feel great while exercising to be fit. You can have this and it's "No Problem", as the kids say, because it's all just about your own mind, and your own body, working in a way that is best for you.

You know how easy it is to get caught up worrying about tomorrow’s “to dos,” while trying to redo yesterday's mistakes. It’s easy to get overwhelmed just trying to figure out what to do with your daily stresses and anxieties. And then it becomes easy to just forget about exercising altogether, or to allow the benefits you wish from your workouts to be drowned out or finally forgotten about. Don't despair! It is just as easy to embrace mindfulness, for instant stress relief and at the same time improved fitness.

Here's what Brian Grasso of FTR Nation said about Mind Your Own Fitness - A Mindful Approach to Exercise:

"Periodically, a book is written that carries the very literal possibility of causing revolution.

The untapped notion, no matter how new, innovative or based on ancient wisdom, whose time is now.

The underappreciated concept that challenges a status quo and demands attention.

This is that book; and encased within it, the idea.

For 16 years in the Fitness Industry, I walked the fine line of believing the physical paradigms that professionals felt compelled to learn, at a never ending rate, were potentially less important than understanding the complexity of the human brain and the role it could play regarding optimal health, wellness and performance.

Greg Justice has rightfully and ingenuously transformed the proverbial ‘3rd Wheel’ into the ‘3rd Apex’.

‘Physical Exercise’ is essential.

‘Nutritional Support’, vital.

But ‘Mental Cohesion’, finally, has become noted as equally indispensable.

As obesity rates soar alarmingly worldwide, structural and movement dysfunctions continue to cause aggregate inactivity and dietary malfeasance condemns the world to a virtual confusion of ‘right’ versus ‘wrong’, Fitness Professionals and enthusiast alike are left to search for newer inroads to help better understand this tragic and historic pandemic.

As the adage says, “Where the head goes, the body follows”.

Think about that very seriously and understand the true power of what you are about to read."

What really happened to Lord Lucan? ‘Dark Green Nights’ might provide the answer

‘Dark Green Nights’ is a fiction based on six months of intensive communications between author Kathleen Hewtson and Lady Lucan as to what might have happened to Lord Lucan after he fled Britain.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dark Green Nights by Kathleen Hewtson, to be released December 2012

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 04, 2012 - In December 2012, That Right Publishing will release ‘Dark Green Nights’, a fiction written by author Kathleen Hewtson, based on six months of discussions with Lady Lucan, speculating on the fate of her husband.

The story starts earlier. The legendary American faction writer, Dominick Dunne, the factional heir to Truman Capote, was friendly with Jimmy Goldsmith and John Aspinall, spending many evenings with them in the Clairmont Club and Annabelles.
In the mid-1980s, Jimmy Goldsmith and John Aspinall told Dominick Dunne, who was renowned for his rigorous research skills, that they had a problem – they had lost Lord Lucan.

The story they told Dominick Dunne was that, after the murder of Sandra Rivett, they had smuggled Lord Lucan out of the country where he had spent a decade on estates owned by Jimmy Goldsmith in South America.

However, Lord Lucan wanted to return to the UK because he was desperate to see his children and, being a man of fastidious British upper-class habits, hated living abroad. So Jimmy Goldsmith and John Aspinall had him declared dead and smuggled him back into the UK.

Then he disappeared.

Dominick Dunne sat on the story because, after all, he was American and wrote about major American scandals, not English ones of no interest to an American public. Then, around twelve years ago, Kathleen Hewtson contacted Dominick Dunne as a fan of his and said she wanted to write factions too, and he suggested that she research the Lord Lucan case.

Which she did.

Lady Lucan was easy to find via the Internet as her e-mail address was published on her website, but she was not interested in talking to Kathleen as Kathleen, young and American, did not know how to address a member of the British Aristocracy properly. So Kathleen asked an upper-class English friend of hers to rephrase her communications in an appropriately deferential manner, and eventually Lady Lucan started responding, leading to an intense six month correspondence.

The story Lady Lucan told Kathleen about her upbringing, their courtship, their honeymoon and the events leading up to Lord Lucan’s disappearance were riveting. The denouement of what happened after Lord Lucan returned to the UK was jaw-dropping.

While ‘Dark Green Nights’, being fictional, is not a faithful biography of the relationship between Lord and Lady Lucan as such, it borrows heavily from the conversations conducted between Kathleen Hewtson and Lady Lucan and the speculations that were raised. Indeed, there are scenes in the book that Kathleen wrote not understanding their social significance which would be immediately apparent to someone who is English, such as when the fictional girlfriend of the aristocrat spends a weekend with friends of his and is sent to sleep in the old servants’ quarters while her aristocratic boyfriend is allocated a guest room.

Is the story true? Who knows? That is why it is a fiction.

Might ‘Dark Green Nights’ finally answer a question posed for nearly forty years – what happened to Lord Lucan?

Quite possibly.
