Novel Raises Awareness of Link Between Sex Addiction and Elder Abuse

“The most insidious and damming breach of trust is elder abuse at the hand of siblings.”

Hollywood, CA (USA), June 02, 2014 — Author and elder abuse prevention advocate Rich Motel will debut his novel “The Curse of Balmoral Lane” (iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Amazon) Jul. 18, 2014. It is the first in a series documenting how sex addicts have been known to abuse elderly parents to maintain their sex habit.

Set against the backdrop of an opulent and ethnically diverse 1980s Los Angeles, “The Curse of Balmoral Lane” brings to light the often ignored symptoms and consequences of sex addiction. The plot depicts how unintended parental misguidance at a very young age influences the life of fictional sex addict Derek Freeman. He develops a relentless addiction to pleasures of the flesh that mushrooms into a full-blown and out-of-control addiction. In addition to mistreating the women he pursues for sex, Freeman financially abuses his aging parents in order to fund that vice. All throughout, he blames family dysfunction for his dilemma and as uses it to justify decimating the lives of nearly everyone he encounters.

Motel is a native Los Angeles resident who strives to raise awareness about elder abuse and its prevention at both the local and national levels. He is active with the National Committee to Prevent Elder Abuse (NCPEA) and co-sponsors a help and support group for the sole purpose of providing assistance to victims of elder abuse. Motel is an alumnus of Long Beach State University.

International Lawyer Frank Warren Swacker Includes his Stageplays in Appendix of his Enhanced E-Books

E-Books including stage plays opens new marketing avenue in E-Commerce.

St. Petersburg, FL (USA), Friday – January 20, 2011 — International Lawyer, Frank Warren Swacker ( http://www.members.authorsguild.net/fswacker ), and Free Marketing, Inc., publishers of Yellow Back Mysteries, have enhanced Who Murdered Mom? by adding as an Appendix to Darla J. Blaha’s, re-edited hard cover second edition of the book, at author’s request, his full length two-act stage play, Arbitrating Murder The play is based upon the re-edited book. Both are available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other publishers of E-books. Blaha is the prize-winning author of The La Grange Chicken Ranch Revisited, on which the well-known Broadway play and movie, The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, were based. People frequently desire to seek out the play or the book after exposure to either, for purpose of comparison. Stage play movie actors and producers should find the book/play combo facilitate production plot and character insights.

The foregoing plays and books are Swacker’s original works. When asked, how he felt about having his fictional works re-edited after he had changed the book endings in his plays, he responded: “Although, writing of Who Murdered Mom? occurred to me as a useful adjunct to my teaching, I find the economical packaging of my plays with my books very stimulating. I think directors, authors, publishers and playwrights will consider this new avenue of e-commerce productive.” Last month Free Marketing, included the author’s comic fictional satire and courtroom drama stage play, depicting executive misconduct, Who Murdered the Chairman? as an Appendix to his book, Boardroom Conspiracies.

Swacker is author of numerous professional and fictional published articles, books, and plays. His re-edited plays require small casts of women and men in simple settings. An international lawyer, he was born in Manhattan in 1922 and has taught international law and dispute resolution at Stetson University Colleges of Law. He is lead author of, World Trade Without Barriers, a two volume work on WTO dispute settlement and continues, from time to time, to advise major international law firms on foreign trade and investment matters. Swacker 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.
