#SATcookbook Author Sees Red For Earth Day











Available on Amazon, online booksellers and in local bookstores.


Wallingford, CT. (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Charis Freiman-Mendel, author of “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.” is seeing red, anticipating Earth Day with plans for sharing recipes and fun facts about tomatoes, a dietary staple that can be enjoyed raw, cooked, canned and in drinks. To honor the beauty of Planet Earth and promote sustainable living, Freiman-Mendel encourages Earth Day participants to think about healthy eating, nutritious meal choices and cooking with fresh, preferably organic, ingredients.

Tomatoes are cultivated around the world and are the most frequent vegetable grown in home gardens. “Tomatoes are truly ubiquitous,” notes Freiman-Mendel, perfect for Earth Day festivities around the globe. She recently discussed the health benefits of tomatoes with “Mike The Gardener” who blogs at AveragePersonGardening. Earth Day participants cooking with tomatoes can enjoy an array of shapes, sizes and color.

“Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T,” a cookbook and standardized test prep tool, contains many recipes featuring tomatoes. Eight of Freiman-Mendel’s thirty three first course recipes contain tomatoes, as do sixteen of her main course offerings. Freiman-Mendel’s recipe for ratatouille, a dish that contains a medley of vegetables, makes a logical Earth Day meal. Other tomato recipes in the book include gazpacho, chop chop salad, vegetable kabobs, rotini primavera and stuffed peppers. “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.” does not include any dessert recipes with tomatoes, so Freiman-Mendel recently shared a recipe for tomato pudding on her blog. Following the format used in “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.,” Freiman-Mendel’s blog post also included some tomato fun facts, a few vocabulary words and her recipe for fried green tomatoes.

“Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.” is a great way for families to celebrate Earth Day, enjoy recipes, cook together, and open a conversation about healthy living. It’s a terriic day to green and get red!

For great cooking, fun facts, project-based learning, new vocabulary and strategy for improving standardized test scores, order “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T. and follow Charis on her blog and with Twitter.

The Spy Overhead by Curtis Hatch, Author of “When the gods go Astray”












“When the gods go Astray” by Curtis Hatch


Westminster, SC (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary describes a drone simply as “an unmanned aircraft or ship guided by remote control.” Any model plane flown by an amateur can be defined as a drone. Hobbyists today equip their models with cameras that take still shots as well as moving videos. That appears uncomplicated enough until one realizes that amateur built drones can presently carry and drop weapons. Curtis Hatch , author of “When the gods go Astray” has witnessed model craft ejecting pilots with parachutes as well as dropping belly-mounted model aircraft. Take this trend and put the capability into the hands of the military, civilian corporations, and yes, even terrorists, and Americans have a reason to be afraid—very afraid. An UPI article on February 8, 2012 said, “Thousands of tiny unmanned aircraft or drones flying into civilian airspace over the United States can pose a security threat as they may be difficult to monitor in the long run and some craft may fall into enemy hands, security analysts say.” The article goes on to state, “The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers. Current lobbying for the drones insists there will be enough qualified experts to operate the drones safely and not endanger airborne human traffic but there are many questions unanswered about how the drone operators would be regulated.”

The February 7, 2012 edition of The Washington Times reported, “Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s … a drone, and it’s watching you. That’s what privacy advocates fear from a bill Congress passed this week to make it easier for the government to fly unmanned spy planes in U.S. airspace.” Military drones used in Afghanistan have been weaponized and used to kill selected targets. The Times of India reported, “There was no immediate comment from US officials, but Washington has carried out deadly airstrikes in Yemen in the past. Last year, a US drone strike killed US-born militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and a second American, Samir Khan, who edited al-Qaida’s Internet magazine.” Fox News said, “Senior Al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki and another America-born militant were killed in Yemen early Friday morning by a CIA-led U.S. drone strike, marking the highest-profile takedown of terror leaders since the raid on Usama bin Laden’s compound.” A precedent has been set. Hatch questions why such a high profile and dangerous criminal was not tried and sentenced in abstention.” Regardless of the rational, an American citizen was targeted and killed without due process. Who will be next?

March 12, 2012 NPR reported, “Unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, have long played a role in military operations. But imagine thousands of drones flying over U.S. skies — something we may see in just a few years. In February, President Obama signed an aviation bill requiring the Federal Aviation Administration to make plans to integrate drones into American airspace.” The article goes on to say, “One question about drone usage obviously concerns privacy. In 1986, the Supreme Court ruled that police officers who used a small single-engine airplane to spot hidden marijuana plants in someone’s backyard in California did not violate the Fourth Amendment because they were in ‘public navigable airspace in a physically non-intrusive manner.’ Now if you take that ruling and apply it to a world in which there are hundreds or thousands of drones, that obviously gives rise to some very significant concerns,” says Villasenor (the articles writer).

12/31/2011 President signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law. The NDAA has some very disturbing components. It permits the U.S. government to target Americans and foreign nationals anywhere in the world. It provides for capture and indefinite detention based on suspicion of Americans without a warrant, or due process. Although some say the law will not be used like that, there is no protective language for Americans in the bill. If the current trends continue, tyranny is on the horizon. There is a strong possibility that “When the gods go Astray”, by Curtis Hatch may prove to be incredibly prophetic. This can’t happen in America one might say—think again.

The novel is available at Amazon in both paperback and Kindle. Golden Corner Enterprises, LLC of Westminster, South Carolina, is the publisher of the book. James R. Simpson, Jr., aka Randy, is President and CEO. The company can be reached at GoldCoEnt(at)aol(dot)com or the contact page at CurtisHatch.com.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 10, 2008

The sleepy town of Sumas near the Canadian border sits atop a rambunctious world full of Goblins in Royce Buckingham’s second humorous fantasy novel for kids, GOBLINS! The book hits stores Thursday, September 18. To view the official trailer, go to Penguin Publisher’s YouTube page.

When PJ and Sam–a cop’s kid and a juvenile delinquent–sneak into the Sumas woods in dad’s police cruiser, they accidentally run down what looks like a mutant gorilla with a bad attitude. But it’s no ape–it’s a goblin, and thousands more live under the earth. Sam discovers a tunnel into the goblin world and quickly winds up in their clutches. It’ll take all of PJ’s strength and ingenuity to outsmart the goblins, save Sam, keep the creatures from finding their way to the surface, and get back to the station before his dad finds out.

The release of GOBLINS! follows Buckingham’s breakthrough first novel, DEMONKEEPER, which was named to the International Reading Association’s 2008 Children’s Choice Booklist and is already in development with 20th Century Fox as a major motion picture.

Buckingham has recently inked additional deals with Random House-Germany for GOBLINS! and a sequel to DEMONKEEPER.

N.Y. Times Bestselling Author Lets Kids Choose the Sequels to His Fun Adventure Series










(PRWEB) April 05, 2012

Ethan Pritcher, Body Switcher, is the latest fun, fast-paced juvenile adventure from author Douglas E. Richards, whose adult thriller, WIRED, was a breakout New York Times and USA Today bestseller in 2011. And while a sequel to WIRED has just launched, Richards continues to enjoy writing for children.

In Body Switcher (launched initially as an eBook at Amazon and B&N), Ethan Pritcher is a normal kid who periodically switches bodies with someone else. He doesn’t know how or why, he just knows that it happens—and always when he least expects it. After trading identities with a muscle-bound movie star, Ethan finds himself in a big trouble. When he learns that a hired killer is after him, just staying alive will be a big challenge. But his sister, Madison, may have the toughest job of all. She’ll have to find a way to keep the movie star, now inhabiting Ethan’s body, from getting her brother kicked out of sixth grade. . .

Body Switcher, for ages eight and up, may well be the start of a series—but that’s up to the kids. At the end of the book, kids are told that they have the power to determine if this will become a series. If they want more, they can vote at WriteMoreSwitcherBooks(at)gmail(dot)com. They are also asked to recommend who Ethan should switch with next, either choosing from a list or coming up with their own ideas. “Assuming the kids want more books,” says Richards, “I think it will be great fun for them to be able to influence the plots of upcoming editions. And while my adult writing career is taking off,” he adds, “I’m happy to keep writing Switcher books for as long as kids continue to enjoy them.”
