This intriguing tale is the subject of The Chabahar Incident, a fictional novel based on the late 1970s Iranian Revolution.

Houston, TX (USA), April 01, 2014 — The dichotomy of an all-powerful Shah, seemingly fully backed by the United States, and an aging Imam on a prayer rug in Paris is troubling to six very powerful world bankers who seek the assistance of John Wingate, a wealthy shipping company heir to avoid financial disaster. This intriguing tale is the subject of The Chabahar Incident, a fictional novel based on the late 1970s Iranian Revolution written by retired construction industry engineer Dick Jacobsen who was living in the country at that time.

Readers will be fascinated with millionaire playboy, John Wingate, the son of a major shipping company president whose job is to efficiently and strategically move vessels in and out of the world’s ports. Jacobsen said the character is loosely based on his handsome and dashing uncle, a World War II US Naval Flying Ace who enthralled him while growing up with his tales and lifestyle.

“Wingate’s office is a Pan Am first class seat, a five star hotel room, a construction hooch, a Bedouin tent or a company ship’s stateroom. He has a penchant for beautiful women and delights in their company,” Jacobsen said.

The author said he took six months off work in 1980 and began writing The Chabahar Incident but realized he needed to return to the construction industry to pay his bills. “Basically the fear of not having food on the table, prompted me to quit writing and go back to construction work,” Jacobsen said. He spent his career traveling the world engineering huge construction projects including freeways across the earth, military bases in Israel, an airport in Kuwait and embassies throughout the world.

But Jacobsen said he never lost “the amazing burning passion for writing” and so after retiring, he dusted off the pages he’d written decades before and completed The Chabahar Incident, recently published by Halo Publishing International.

“The Chabahar Incident is filled with adventure, romance and fascinating characters that will keep the reader interested from beginning to end,” said Halo International Publisher Lisa M. Umina. “Jacobsen’s personal experience lends credence to the story.”

Message is to Celebrate Differences and Focus on Christ.

Houston, TX (USA), April 01, 2014 — Jesus is taking a back seat when Christmas is celebrated, according to Anna Jurinich, author of the new book The Christmas Odd Box. She would like to see Christians focus more on the basis of their faith rather than the chaotic commercialism that has evolved.

“The central theme that flows through the story is about Jesus and His message of love,” Jurinich said. The idea for The Christmas Odd Box came to her one year while putting away her Christmas decorations. As she placed the box lid on her collection of “odd” ornaments, she said aloud, “you guys be good in there.” “They were all odd, and I meant for them to be good to each other,” Jurinich said. “I was thinking about how the box imitated the world we live in, all of us being so different.”

A native of Zadar, Coratia, Jurinich arrived in the United States with her family in 1958 and settled in New York. She attended art school and became a prominent artist. Jurinich has received numerous awards and accolades for her work, which is exhibited in museums and galleries in New York as well as internationally. An art instructor for many years, Jurinich also has illustrated several children’s books and a cookbook, which she created with her husband, Giampaolo.

“I’m a painter. I never really thought of myself as an author,” she said. But, she kept getting little messages that she needed to write The Christmas Odd Box. Naturally, the talented and admired artist created exquisitely illustrated whimsical characters to tell the story of The Christmas Odd Box, now available through Halo Publishing International.

“This book is sure to spark the imagination and invite the young reader to contemplate Jesus’ message that we love one another,” said Publisher Lisa Umina. “Jurinich created a beautiful, original and insightful book that is truly a unique piece of art.”

Jurinich said it was a relentless idea that was interrupted numerous times by her daily life, being a painter, a teacher, a wife, raising two sons and caring for her mother. “But there was always a strong determination to bring this book to fruition.” She wants Christians to focus on Christ, especially when they celebrate Christmas.
