Leave a comment

RealTime Publishing are delighted to announce the release of the second in a series of Suspense Novels by author Jan Evan Whitford.

Limerick, Ireland, Friday – March 23, 2012 — RealTime Publishing Announces “Mystic Fear”, the second in the Nikki O’Connor series of Novels from American Author Jan Evan Whitford.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “Mystic Fear” by Jan Evan Whitford, which is the author’s second book. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Suspense category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $14.99. ‘Mystic Fear’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $4.99. A webpage at store.theebooksale.com was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
At his car, he shuffled her into the passenger side, hustled around, and got behind the wheel. He jammed the barrel of the Browning into her ear.
She cried out.
“Don’t make me use this,” he said, laying the pistol in his lap.
Her ear was throbbing and ringing at the same time but she still heard the thump as he auto-locked the doors. He started the car, put it in gear, and eased away from the curb. He flipped on the wipers and they sluiced away the mist. As they drove, the wipers lulled and almost hypnotized her.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
They drove for about twenty minutes and once they were off the main highway, she leaned forward and squinted through the windshield at a caution sign:
DETOUR – YOUR RIDOT HIGHWAY DOLLARS AT WORK
Orange barrels with their flickering caution lights did little to affect the black hole darkness. Rows of red and white striped sawhorses funneled them along until they veered off onto a two-lane blacktop.
Hess looked over, ran a lizard tongue over his lips, saying, “You are so beautiful. You look just like Mother.”
Nikki closed her eyes, didn’t respond.
“You ignoring me? Didn’t you hear me tell you that you’re beautiful?”
Her eyes flew open and she looked down at gnarled, ugly fingers moving in slow motion, fondling the inside of her thigh. Filthy nails, bitten to the quick, tipped his fingers. His hand felt like a diseased vermin paw, even through her jeans. Recoiling, she closed her eyes again.
He put his hand back on the wheel and pulled off the blacktop, onto the shoulder. He left the ignition on. The wipers continued: Thump-thump.
(Chapter 51)

‘Mystic Fear’ is the second of a gripping mystery/suspense series by author, Jan Evan Whitford – author of ‘Mystic Island’ (book 1 in the series). Reading this novel is like going on a non-stop roller coaster ride through a series of romance, mystery, psychosis, and murderous chain of events, all of which leads to Marion’s obsession to make Nikki “Become”.

It is also amazing how the author is able to juggle an enormous array of engaging characters and copious number of subplots, and tie them all together neatly and beautifully to give it such an agreeable ending.

Expertly constructed at 336 pages, “Mystic Fear” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Mystery and Suspense categories. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, “Mystic Fear” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.99 and $4.99, respectively.

Additionally, “Mystic Fear” can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers from the RealTime wholesale department by emailing buybooks@realtimepublishings.com. To qualify for the maximum trade discount price set by the author, order in quantities of ten or more.

Internatonal Lawyer Inspired by Writing and Reading Stage Plays

Leave a comment

Approaching 90, Author Compiles Full Length Stage Plays in “Trilogy of Murders”.

St. Petersburg, FL (USA), Friday – March 23, 2012 — When not providing professional opinions on foreign trade and investment to domestic and off-shore client corporations or major law firms, FRANK WARREN SWACKER, derives one of his greatest pleasures from the reading and writing full length stage plays. Born in Manhattan on May 18, 1922, he seldom missed seeing, Broadway’s best productions, excluding his brief service in World War II as a US Navy Lt. (j.g.) in the South Pacific.

Learning that Lynne Rock, Editor, at publisher, Free Marketing, Inc. a subsidiary of Rock Publishing, is scheduling release of an E-book, TRIOLOGY OF MURDERS that shall contain three of his full length two act murder mystery stage plays by his birthday, he commented: “Including three stage plays in a single publication should accommodate the ‘Go Generation’ desire to be able to quickly determine which plays satisfy their creative appetite. I have often found writing and reading stage plays inspirational.”

Arbitrating Murder, the first play, in Trilogy of Murders, depicts apprehension of a co-ed daughter that her father may be found to have killed her mother. The hilarious hearing, discloses her mother, a Washington public relations executive, had been involved in dangerous intrigues. The play, except for the ending, follows his book, Who Murdered Mom? (2nd Edition).

The second play, Who Murdered the Chairman? is based upon his book, Boardroom Conspiracies. It is laced with comic, satire, spoofing Wall Street, and corporate executive misbehavior, some of which created the present economic fallout. Both E-books have been re-edited by Darla J. Blaha, prize winning author of, La Grange Chicken Ranch Revisited that became the basis of the stage play and movie: THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS. The E-books include the plays in their respective Appendix.

The third play, Spreading Murder & Happiness, is a brain storming search for a serial killer, harboring hate for those who had attained success in their respective professions. It is based upon the collaborative work in progress of Blaha and Swacker, to be entitled: Murder & Happiness. All three fictional dramas call for eight or less cast members and simple settings.

Swacker ( http://www.members.authorsguild.net/fswacker ), is listed in Who’s Who in the World, and Who’s Who in America. He holds a B.A. (Economics) from Union College, a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia and a LL.M. (International Law) from New York University, Graduate School of Law.

Navy Veteran Utilizes CrowdFunding To Open Meineke Car Care Center in Pensacola

Leave a comment

Decorated veteran seeks financing via Boost A Hero program.

Pensacola, FL (USA), Wednesday – March 21, 2012 — After 10 years in the United States Navy, Tom Perez has signed with Meineke Car Care Centers to take over the location at 2871 West Michigan Ave. in Pensacola, Fla. Meineke quickly approved Perez’s franchise application because of his skills and personality. Meineke has discounted its franchise fee by 25 percent and is financing nearly 75 percent of the entire purchase, but Perez still needs to raise additional capital to get started. He is the first Meineke franchisee to use Sprigster’s Boost A Hero ( http://www.sprigster.com/boost-a-hero ) franchise crowdfunding program.

Perez, 31, who was honorably discharged last year due to downsizing, served as a master of arms in the Navy. He completed three tours in Iraq and many tours in other locations. Perez is a decorated veteran who has received four Navy/Marine Corp Achievement Medals, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, the Navy Unit Commendation, Meritorious Unit Commendation, three Good Conduct Medals, the National Defense Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, the Global War On Terrorism Service Medal, the Global War On Terrorism Expeditions Medal and the Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal.

“Tom is a great franchise candidate who served our country for 10 years and just recently returned to the U.S.,” said Dave Schaefers, senior vice president of franchise development of Driven Brands. “Tom has a great personality and the skills to be a successful business owner. Veterans make great franchise owners because they are hard working and know how to follow a system. We look forward to bringing Tom into the system and we’re doing everything we can to help him get the financing he needs to get started.”

Boost A Hero is dedicated to using crowdfunding to get U.S. veterans the start they need to be franchise business owners. Veterans who are accepted by Boost A Hero create a project campaign telling their story and funding goal. The projects can be viewed on the website ( http://www.sprigster.com/boost-a-hero ) where people can make contributions. View Perez’s project at http://www.sprigster.com/projects/6-help-navy-vet-tom-open-a-meineke.

“In my 10 years in the military, I spent half that time in hostile environments. Now I am ready to use my leadership and management experience combined with my education to be a successful entrepreneur,” Perez said. “I know that my military training will help me excel in business because it instilled in me the leadership skills and the work ethic to make it happen. I’m really looking forward to getting started with a great brand like Meineke and I’m very excited to be one of the first people to use the Boost A Hero program for financing.”

Meineke is owned by Driven Brands, the parent company to six franchised automotive brands. Other Driven Brands companies include MAACO Franchising, Inc. (collision repair and auto painting), Econo Lube N’ Tune (automotive repair/quick-lube services), Aero Colours (automotive paint repair), AutoQual (vehicle reconditioning, protection and appearance maintenance services) and Drive N Style (aftermarket installation services), as well as Tortal.net, a training company that specializes in developing interactive online training solutions.

Social Medicine Is Understanding Patients By Launching New Website

Leave a comment

Social Medicine, a health based social networking site, helps people suffering from a variety of health conditions, to globally connect, help and share information with others in similar situations.

Melbourne, Australia, Monday – March 19, 2012 — Social Medicine ( http://www.social-medicine.org ) opens the doors for patients that were not previously made available. Patients now have the opportunity for:
* Instant two way communication to help bring patients closer
* Supportive communities through enhanced functionality
* Friend circles to allow patients to connect and bond with others globally

Social Medicine (Social-medicine.org), a health based social networking site, helps people suffering from a variety of health conditions, to globally connect, help and share information with others in similar situations, by focusing on bridging the gap of patient-to-patient communication, and patient-to-practitioner communication, with all the social networking features and functionality expected in today’s society.

Community Support:
Social Medicine fosters community support, where real people in similar situations come together, to circumvent negative feelings like disconnection and loneliness, and focus on improving self-esteem, understanding, communication, relationships, and peer support.

“As a psoriasis sufferer, I know first hand how hard it can be to deal with an illness, without that all essential support from people who truly understand. After spending years managing my condition alone, I turned to the Internet for help. I found a sheer number of forums, blogs, and communities, in which psoriasis was discussed, but I didn’t find it to be a personal experience,” says Michael Dornan, the creator of Social Medicine.

Social Medicine’s online health communities does not show any geographical boundaries; anonymity from stigmatizing, embarrassing, and sensitive issues; increasing self-disclosure; and encouraging honesty. Even people with rare diseases can find peers online. The anonymity of online communities may facilitate the participation of certain people, who may be culturally and socially conditioned not to ask for help and support.

Understanding Patient’s Difficulties:
Why are patients turning to the web for information? There are increasing demands of consumer driven health content. It is seen that 48% of people with cancer reported that they had insufficient information provided by their physicians, while 20% were not satisfied with the information given and 39% of women with breast cancer indicated that they wished that they had help with knowing what questions to ask. (Gunther Eysenbach MD, MPH, The Impact Of Internet On Cancer Outcomes, American Cancer Society, 2003). However, dissatisfaction with information provided is not the only reason why patients turn to the Internet.

Social Medicine aims to better understand how people are connecting and sharing information about their medical conditions, the various treatments and products they are using. As communication on medical conditions is already undertaken in forums to some extent, these forums are now falling behind in functionality that would significantly improve patient’s experiences if communication was shared on social networking platforms.

There is a great need for more information. Patients want to know what other patients have done, used or experienced with their condition. The provision of information provided to patients has been shown to help them gain control, reduce anxiety, create realistic expectations, promote self-care and participation, and generate feelings of safety and security. The satisfaction with information provided has been shown to correlate with quality of life. People, who feel satisfied with the adequacy of information given, are more likely to feel happy with their level of participation and in the overall process of decision-making.

Psoriasis Social, the initial platform that paved the way for Social Medicine, demonstrated that patients understood what a social network for their condition offered over forums and other sites. “Psoriasis Social took off with a speed that surprised me. In a short period of time approximately 400 people globally, registered and became friends. My simple goal was to give psoriasis sufferers a voice, a sounding board, and a close-knit and supportive community for people who understood, what it was like to live with the condition. Soon Social Medicine was born, a platform for those who suffer from a range of illnesses and conditions, now have a community driven support network, and an avenue for organisations who may like to reach out to people via this platform or support its development,” says Michael Dornan, founder of Social Medicine.

Vircom Inc, a leader in email security has published its research on the state of spam. The research includes a comprehensive analysis from an online public survey held from December 2011 through January 2012.

Montreal, Canada, Friday – March 16, 2012 — Vircom Inc, a leader in email security has published its research on the state of spam.

The survey results are presented in the form of infographics at http://www.vircom.com/en/lp/state-of-spam-in-2012/

Analysis of the survey reveals that half of the respondents use online mail services such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail. Most use such email services alongside work/school related email accounts. Nearly three quarters of the respondents use open public WiFi, exposing themselves to hackers looking to steal emails. A quarter or the respondents don’t carefully examine emails from banks and financial institutions. Such emails are often a target of phishing threats trying to steal banking credentials.

“Alongside spam, we also have malware threats and phishing campaigns that aren’t only a nuisance, but cause financial loss to the user,” said Damien Ramé, Head of Marketing at Vircom Inc. “Our survey found that nearly a third of the users open spam emails if they like the subject line. Also a significant number download malicious files from these spammers. Such trends showcase the importance of anti-spam tools and corporate policies to stop spam.”

The entire survey result can be found as an infographic on the Vircom website.

New LifeCycle Products Offer Real Help for Seniors and Their Children

Leave a comment

Two new products, LifeCycle Companion and Life Vault, help seniors stay secure and remain independent, as well as giving their children greater peace of mind, even when they’re separated by long distances.

London, ON (Canada), Friday – March 16, 2012 — It’s a story we’ve heard too many times. A parent or loved one has a heart attack, accident, or other life-threatening injury, is unable to contact anyone, and ends up in the hospital or, worse, dies before someone can reach them. And it’s a story Rob McCormickk was hearing from more and more of his friends.

That’s when he decided to create a unique solution to the problem. McCormickk, of LifeCycle Ltd ( http://www.lifecycleltd.com ) and a baby boomer with aging parents of his own, has developed Companion, an innovative service that keeps in touch daily with clients to ensure their safety. If the client’s “companion” does not receive a reply at a specific time, the companion will automatically send a notice to family, friends, or neighbors asking them to check in on that person to make sure they are well.

“It’s been designed to help people enjoy life and be independent as long as possible,” says McCormickk. He also notes that the service is surprisingly affordable, less than $6.00 per month. “We wanted to price the system so anyone can afford it, especially people who are on fixed incomes,” he says.

The product has an interesting history. Remarkably, it was a direct offshoot of another practical product that McCormickk has also developed. Several years ago, he was working in a law office and had many clients asking for a better way to securely store information about valuable documents that might be needed in an emergency.

As a result of those conversations, he created another system called Life Vault, a unique, fully-encrypted, triple-secure virtual storage system where you can keep a variety of critical documents, including wills, powers-of-attorney, funeral home details, and safety deposit locations in one convenient location. The information is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection and can be retrieved by various family members quickly and easily, when they need it most.

Together, the two products offer practical solutions to two of the most common problems encountered by both aging seniors and their baby boomer children. “I think what these two valuable programs offer people is peace of mind,” says McCormickk. “We can’t always be there when someone needs assistance but, in many instances, Life Vault and LifeCycle Companion help us bridge the gap and take control of our family’s needs, even when we’re far away.”

Those are reassuring words for grown children with aging parents. And they answer a real need for seniors who want to remain independent but may require additional support systems to keep them safe.

Leave a comment

The Golf Championships, launching in early fall on CBS Sports on Saturdays, chose Golf Belles social marketing solutions to help raise awareness and engagement for their new brand across the globe.

Phoenix, AZ (USA), Friday – March 16, 2012 — As The Golf Championships prepares to go live with their all new televised series ‘The Million Dollar Invitationals’ on CBS this fall, Golf Belles ( http://www.golfbelles.com ) gets ready to take the brand global with a customized social media marketing approach designed to engage viewers and participants alike before, during and beyond each event.

During 2012, players from all over the world will compete in The Golf Championships, a series of televised events, which include the Million Dollar Invitationals, a high-stakes competition. The Million Dollar Invitationals series, to be telecast on CBS in the late Fall, will host four events at premiere golf courses in the US, Europe and the Caribbean.

The Golf Championships, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Armada Sports & Entertainment, Inc., is a series of four competitive events held in the US, Europe and Caribbean. Only 144 players will be selected to compete in each of the four tournaments,with the top 10 players competing in a dramatic, nine-hole elimination shootout with a total purse of $1,560,000, and the winner taking home $1,000,000!

The participants of the 2012 Million Dollar Invitationals will also be automatically entered into the 2012 World Putting Tour Championships. This series of events will take place simultaneously with the Million Dollar Invitationals. Each of the four World Putting Tour Championships will have a total purse of $150,000, with a top prize of $100,000 after a nine hole shootout, giving the 144 participants two chances to compete to win!

The Golf Championships is set to bring a breath of fresh air to the sport with an accomplished team of executives with a wealth of experience in the sports entertainment industry and unique, compelling golf competitions. The CBS Television Network, which brings you the hit shows NCIS, CSI, Survivor and The Amazing Race will proudly televise all four million dollar invitational events broadcasting across the nation in two hour shows leading into College Football on Saturdays. The launch is set for early fall this year and will mark a day in history for the golf industry, as one that brought the sport a new appeal in the global eye.

“The Golf Championships brand was designed to create interesting but compelling life changing opportunities for golfers of all skill abilities. We believe that the Million Dollar Invitationals and other unique made for television events in the sport will ignite interest in the sport from new audiences, invigorate the existing golf audience and help grow the sport of golf in the long term,” stated R. Thomas Kidd, CEO of Armada Sports & Entertainment, Inc.

Golf industry marketing company Golf Belles has been commissioned by The Golf Championships to developcustomized marketing solutions for the brand that will introduce it across the social media networks growing enthusiasm and interest in the build up to the launch dates. The approach will seek to engage the audience, arouse interest and improve the brand’s influence and following. “The golf industry has suffered a series of blows over the past few years;” states Golf Belles Chief Susanita de Diego, “declines in sponsorship and funding, global popularity and viewership, not to mention a decrease in the number of competitive events.
