2 Blue Ducks Welcomes Milestone Baby Cards Into Canada; Commemorate Each New Step of Your Baby’s Life

Leave a comment

Mark each unique occasion with Milestone Baby Cards, launching this January at the Toronto Gift Fair booth #11513 Hall 11 (Congress Centre).

Toronto, Canada, December 28, 2013 — A baby’s first year is filled with endless milestones, proud parental moments and so many firsts that no parent or loved one wants to forget. Mark each unique occasion with Milestone Baby Cards, launching this January at the Toronto Gift Fair booth #11513 Hall 11 (Congress Centre).

These unique development cards are designed to celebrate all the milestones of a baby’s first year through creative photographs. Those first steps, her eight-week-old birthday and his first tooth are precious moments we all want to remember. Place each event card next to your baby to timestamp a photo in a memorable way.

Dutch mom Gemma Broekhuis came up with the idea when she decided to capture the moment her son Mikkel rolled over for his first time. She realized how quickly we can forget these moments and how unique these photos with her specially designed cards proved to be. Wanting other parents to share the delight of these time-recorded photos, Broekhuis decided to create Milestone Baby Cards and with distribution in over 22 countries, the rest is history.

“Baby’s grow and change so quickly,” says Michael Glina, managing director of 2 blue ducks, Canadian distributor. “These hand-designed developmental cards are the perfect way to mark each milestone in your baby’s life. If you have friends or relatives who live out of town or the country, Milestone Baby Cards are the best way to share these precious moments.”

Winner of the Baby Innovation Award 2013 in the Netherlands, nominated for the K+J Innovation Award in Germany and recipient of highly commended award for the Junior Design Award 2013 in the U.K., Milestone Baby Cards are making waves across the globe and 2 blue ducks is beyond excited to welcome them into Canada.

Author Robert Thornhill has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading

Leave a comment

Robert Thornhill, author of the fifteen volume Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’, sponsored by The Authors Show, and was the overall winner in the ‘Fiction’ genre.

Independence, MO, December 14, 2013 – Mystery/comedy author, Robert Thornhill, has been named one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. Thornhill was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process and was the overall winner in the ‘Fiction’ genre.

“It is an honor,” stated Mr. Thornhill, “to be included in this year’s ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’. I want to thank the fans of the Lady Justice series for their support.”

Thornhill has been dubbed ‘The Master of Hysterical Fiction’. His Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, about a 65-year-old retiree that becomes a cop, has been compared to Janet Evanovich’s highly successful Stephanie Plum series.

Lady Justice and the Vet, the latest volume in the series, debuted as #1 in Amazon’s ‘Cozy Mystery’ and ‘Humor’ categories and #8 in Amazon’s ‘Top 100’.

Lee Ashford, writing for Reader’s Favorite, writes, “Mr. Thornhill has an uncanny talent for bringing our attention to a serious problem while also entertaining and amusing us. Robert Thornhill’s house will one day be a National Monument. Okay, maybe that’s a little over the top, but he is a very good storyteller, and a very good writer. I anticipate with great relish each new release in his Lady Justice series. His writing is superlative, and his ability to inform and amuse, almost in the same sentence, makes him a consummate storyteller.”

The Lady Justice series is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and on his website.

Profile:
Award-winning author, Robert Thornhill, began writing at the age of sixty-six and in four short years has penned fifteen novels in the Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

Lady Justice and the Sting, Lady Justice and Dr. Death, Lady Justice and the Vigilante, Lady Justice and the Candidate, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders and Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders won the Pinnacle Award for the best new mystery novels of Fall 2011, Winter 2012, Summer 2012, Fall 2012, Spring of 2013 and Summer 2013 from the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs.

Many of Walt’s adventures in the Lady Justice series are anecdotal and based on Robert’s real life.

Although Robert holds a master’s in psychology, he has never taken a course in writing and has never learned to type. All 26 of his published books were typed with one finger and a thumb!

His wit and insight come from his varied occupations, including thirty-three years as a real estate broker. He lives with his wife, Peg, in Independence, Missouri.

Author Offers Tips on Managing Stress for a Better Life

Leave a comment

Published by Halo Publishing International, It’s All in Your Head is an inspirational book on managing stress in one’s everyday life.

Houston, TX (USA), December 06, 2013 — Author Duane Pajak knows a lot about managing stress. He earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology from Michigan State University; has more than 30 years of professional experience as a psychotherapist; was head of two outpatient psychiatric clinics; and has taught numerous workshops and college courses on stress management. Pajak said his new book, It’s all in Your Head, is a way for him to share ways people can live life less stressfully.

“We all need to learn to ‘live in the moment’ and apply that to both work and home,” the author said.

Published by Halo Publishing International, It’s All in Your Head is an inspirational book on managing stress in one’s everyday life. The book emphasizes ways to reduce stress by having the reader become aware of his or her own stressful thoughts, explained Pajak.

“It then walks the reader through some easy, practical steps and examples on how to let negative, stressful thoughts dissipate before they do significant mental and physical harm,” he said.

Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said It’s all in Your Head offers suggestions on how to bring balance, physical exercise, enjoyment, and relaxation to one’s active, busy life-style. “Readers should gain a deeper appreciation and gratitude for the things that really matter in life.”

Pajak said he hopes readers realize they can live life less stressfully if they make the effort. “It is important to learn to accept other people for who they are and not make their problems your problems.” He said there are many ways to reduce the frustration, pressure and conflict that cause stress. “One simple way is to go for a walk,” Pajak said. “Walking relieves stress.”

Pajak spent his childhood in Bay City, Michigan in a supportive and loving family, and said he became interested in psychology during his junior year of high school. He resides in Petoskey, Michigan with his wife, Maureen, a former elementary and special education teacher. The author and his wife have three sons and four grandchildren. Pajak presently teaches courses at North Central Michigan College. His stress relievers include walking and nature photography.

“Enlighten My Senses is the accumulative story of all the steps I took to heal myself and my heart,” said the author. It walks the reader down a path that shows how our history, heritage and emotions affect our well-being. It guides them to look inside and outside, step-by-step, to help and bring light to areas they might not have been aware of. One of the chapters, titled Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, is about deep reflection. “Get ready for a whole new way to look at and improve your world,” Best said.

Halo Publishing International Publisher Lisa Umina said Enlighten My Senses is a self-improvement book that will help readers discover what is inside. “It is a personal story about a journey for a healthier, happier life.”

Innovative Vocabulary Building Book Improves Language

Leave a comment

Published by Halo Publishing International, Ten Dollar Words for Kids will empower readers with the knowledge and understanding of new words.

Houston, TX (USA), December 06, 2013 — Increasing a child’s vocabulary is easy if you simply introduce them to words, says dad Kevin Kennedy, author of the new book Ten Dollar Words for Kids.

“There are more than a million words in the English language, but we use very few,” Kennedy said. He started teaching his own children a variety of words early in their lives to help them have expanded vocabularies. It was almost a game, but the result is they know more words than their peers, explained Kennedy.

Published by Halo Publishing International, Ten Dollar Words for Kids will empower readers with the knowledge and understanding of new words. “It’s for kids to learn big and prosper,” said the author.

Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said Ten Dollar Words for Kids plants seeds for developing learning curiosity. “It inspires children to learn even more and an improved vocabulary will benefit them throughout their lives,” Umina said.

Kennedy has a vision to develop Ten Dollar Words for Kids books tailored to a variety of medicines such as dentistry, psychiatry, pediatrics, etc., and maybe even other complex professions. “Big words are there to use, not to wonder what they mean,” he said.

“A larger and more complex vocabulary at an early age is essential to setting our children up for success. Ten Dollar Words for Kids books are all about building the vocabulary of a child, and maybe a little about refreshing the minds of teens and adults in a most extraordinary way.”

Kennedy served in the U.S. Navy for more than 25 years, a service tradition modeled after his father and brother. The youngest child of loving and bright parents, Kennedy graduated from Upper Arlington High School, near Columbus, Ohio. He earned a bachelor’s degree at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and retired from the Navy in 2010. The author resides with his wife, Martha, in Chesapeake, Va. He is the father of four children, ages 27, 18 and twin 6-year-olds, all with better than average vocabularies.

Leave a comment

Holiday Album “When you’re in Love at Christmas Time” Available Now

Los Angeles, CA, December 04, 2013 – Living legend Walter “Bunny” Sigler continues to share songs that prove his passion for music goes well beyond his beloved soul songs. Bunny’s songwriting for tracks like Instant Funk’s “I Got My Mind Made Up”, Patti Labelle’s “Somebody Loves You Baby”, The Whispers’ “Bingo”, Jackie Moore’s “Sweet Charlie Babe” and The O’Jays “Sunshine” are what put him on the musical map. Not only is Bunny skilled with the pen, but he is also a world-renowned singer bringing his warm, powerhouse vocals to the holiday season.

One of Bunny’s favorite holiday tunes, “Little Drummer Boy” showcases his laid-back and soulful sound. Bunny’s rendition brings to mind an oversized chair, a roaring fire and eggnog in hand. Sigler knows how to set the scene for Christmas.

“O Holy Night”, another popular track, finds Sigler delivering his signature vocal style on the sacred song. “I’ve been singing ‘O Holy Night’ all my life”, Sigler says. “I knew that if I ever planned to record a Christmas song, it would be ‘O Holy Night,'” he shares. Each song is perfectly executed and sure to have all its listeners in the holiday spirit.

This Philadelphia native began his singing career in churches all over the metropolitan area with songs like “O Lord My God” and “The Lord’s Prayer”. When You’re In Love At Christmas Time shows that it’s more than just the music that captivates his heart; it’s a testimony of his relationship with Jesus Christ.

“I’m in this for real,” says Sigler. “Although I’ve sung urban music, I never stopped singing sacred music. For me, it’s all about ministry.”

Bunny Sigler is a rare breed of pure talent. His the holiday album When You’re In Love At Christmas Time will be penned as a timeless Christmas classic and it will certainly be a repeat album for many seasons to come.
