First Edition Design Publishing Releases New Book, “Accidental Dad” by Joshua McDowell

Leave a comment

Accidental Dad, by Joshua McDowell, exposes the harsh realities of being a single father in today’s world.

Toledo, OH, USA — Joshua McDowell’s Accidental Dad introduces a single father on a mission. He believes being a parent is the most rewarding experience in the world. For that reason, he wants you to help him change the family court system. A must read for young fathers and potential young fathers alike.

Each year, millions of children grow up in fatherless homes, resulting in teen pregnancies, school dropouts, depression, and suicide. Each child wants, needs, and deserves to grow up with a strong relationship with both parents.

McDowell is not an expert in conventional terms, but he knows how it felt to grow up without his father, and he also knows how it feels for a single father to have to deal with the court system that can make a father feel worthless. He shares firsthand information about our family courts to provide a clear understanding of the bias in courts across this country against fathers who want custody of their children. Joshua McDowell is handing us all a challenge. Help McDowell change the world, and help bring loving, caring, good fathers back to the head of household!

“Contrary to popular belief, many single fathers are getting the short end of the stick. I dedicate this book to all single fathers who truly love their children and want to be a major part of their lives. My son is my life, yet there were days in court when I would get so frustrated, so angry, and so tired of battling the bias against fathers – against me – that I was almost willing to walk away from it all. Fortunately I didn’t, and neither should you. Never give up hope.” ~Josh McDowell

Genre – Child Support, Custody, Visitation, Fathers Rights

The ebook version of Accidental Dad ISBN 9781506901275, published by First Edition Design Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com), is available on-line wherever ebooks are sold. The 178 page print book version, ISBN 9781506901268, is published by First Edition Design Publishing and distributed worldwide to online booksellers.

Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, releases Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial

Leave a comment

Author Robert Thornhill releases Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial, volume #2 in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

Independence, MO, March 08, 2016 – In Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial, author, Robert Thornhill, continues to ask the question, “Are we being poisoned?”

Investigative reporter, Jack Carson, has been murdered, but by whom?

Police arrest mob boss Carmine Marchetti, but Walt is convinced that it was the work of government assassins, sent to silence the reporter before he could expose a clandestine program that for decades had been spraying deadly chemicals into the atmosphere for weather control and defense.

Will justice prevail or will the government’s dirty little secret remain hidden?

Lee Ashford of Reader’s Favorite writes, “Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial by Robert Thornhill is another brilliantly-conceived mystery/comedy novel from the biographer of Walt Williams and creator of the Lady Justice series of contemplative tales. As fresh and timely as all the stories in this series, Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial tackles a troubling theory gaining traction just below the surface of public consciousness.

“Whether truth or fiction, the subject matter of this story – and its immediate predecessor, Lady Justice and the Conspiracy – will have readers surreptitiously peering beyond their curtains at the sky above.

“Once again we find the intrepid Walt Williams, senior citizen extraordinaire, right in the thick of a dangerous situation. As the body count rises, Walt understandably fears for his safety and the safety of his loved ones. This time he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

“Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered whether the government is perhaps not always forthcoming with “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” in its response to requests for information.

“Has our government conspired to foist a deadly top-secret program on our planet, or is this just an imaginative and witty tale? It will give you an adrenaline rush, regardless of what you ultimately believe. It will also give you something to think about.

“Robert Thornhill has a noteworthy talent for crafting compelling tales ripped from the headlines of our daily newspapers. Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial will grip you from beginning to end and may well color your dreams at night.

“Five stars and two thumbs up for Lady Justice and the Conspiracy Trial.”

Robert began writing at the ripe old age of 66 and in six years has penned twenty-two novels in the Lady Justice series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

During the past year, nine volumes in the Lady Justice series reached the #1 rank in the book’s category on Amazon.

The manual covers a variety of topics designed to help photographers create impactful images an compelling narratives.

Halo Publishing Author Miguel Coppedge Meets with President Obama

Leave a comment

Ten-Year Old Author of “The Adventures of FireMan” Provides Inspirational Example.

Washington, D.C. (USA), February 19th, 2016 — Just like many ten-year old boys, Miguel Coppedge dreams of being a firefighter, an NBA point guard or an author. However, unlike most, Miguel is doing something about making his dreams a reality. Miguel has just published the first in a series of children’s books featuring the super hero Kris Schmoove and his best friend Rico G. The boys discover their super powers and together they defeat “The Destroyer!”

“I really like firefighters and super heroes,” said Miguel Coppedge, who wrote this first book, The Adventures of FireMan, when he was only eight years old. “Superman is my favorite and I wanted to write a story that combined two of my favorite things.”

Since writing his first book, Miguel has visited a variety of local churches, schools and daycare centers to read his book. He has visited the local fire station and read his book to two different fire chiefs.

“That was a great experience,” said Miguel. “I’m afraid of heights but I got to put on a uniform and climb up the really tall ladder. It was awesome.”

He is not only a local celebrity but recently had the opportunity to gain a new fan; one of worldwide notoriety.

“Miguel attended the Day of Service at our local Boys and Girls Club and was surprised with a visit from President Obama,” said Yolanda Coppedge, Miguel’s proud mother.

“I got to sit by President Obama and even told him a joke,” Miguel shared. “He laughed! It was great.”

Shortly after President Obama’s visit, Miguel sent a thank you package to the President and within a matter of weeks received an invitation to visit the White House. Miguel Coppedge took a signed copy of his book The Adventures of FireMan, which is dedicated in part to President Obama, to the White House. President Obama responded with a beautiful thank you note signed, “Your friend.”

“Miguel has always been a fabulous child,” said his mother. “When he sets his mind to something, he follows through. I didn’t even know he was thinking about writing a story until he came to me one night with a notebook and said Here, Mom, I wrote a book.”

“We are so excited to have Miguel Coppedge as part of the Halo Publishing family,” said Lisa Umina, founder and President of Halo Publishing. “He is an inspiration and we know that we are witnessing the beginning of his journey as a successful author.”

Miguel has already written a sequel to The Adventures of Fireman and hopes to have it available in stores later this year.

“You are never too young to do anything,” Miguel told a group of children at a recent book reading. “Always follow your dreams no matter what your age.”

The Adventures of FireMan is available for $20.00. Three dollars from each book is donated to St. Ann’s Infant Home (stanns.org) in Hyattsville, MD which is where Miguel lived before being adopted by Yolanda.

Signed copies can purchased through his PayPal link for $23.00 total ($20 for book $3 for shipping)

Paula A. Montgomery is Gallery’s New Featured Artist

Leave a comment

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that fine artist Paula Montgomery has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that fine artist Paula Montgomery has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 30 days and be presented in their Artist Showcase.

Lively, effervescent color rhythmically pulsates through the paintings of American artist Paula Montgomery. Beginning each composition with a particular hue or design, Montgomery then lets her materials and concept guide her process as she produces breathtakingly exquisite canvases.

Primarily focusing on flora as a subject, Montgomery passionately transforms everyday flowers into painterly visual poems. Utilizing either a lithe, expressionistic brushstroke or a purposeful palette knife, the artist boldly applies paints with a poetic flourish. Unwilling to limit herself to traditional materials alone, Montgomery embraces mixed media techniques and materials in order to accumulate the abstract quality of her works. Thus the paintings hover gracefully between abstraction and representation.

Elegant and independent, these paintings exude a sense of peace and joy. “If my work can bring a moment of happiness to the viewer, then I feel I’ve accomplished something worthwhile,” Montgomery explains. “I am always looking for that inner expression to make its presence felt in my work.” Paula Montgomery lives and works in North Carolina. Her website is http://www.paulamontgomeryart.com.
