Ethos Tells an Engaging and Thought-Provoking Science Fiction Story

NEW YORKFebruary 06, 2018Morgan James’ new science fiction book release, Ethos: Rise of Malcolm by Aaron Dworkin, is a futuristic novel that explores important themes through compelling characters and a captivating story. The themes and story appeal particularly to teenagers and young adults.

Ethos tells the incredible journey of David, a forty-eight-year-old accountant, and his adopted teenage son Malcolm, who are taken five hundred years into the future, where the planet is known as Ethos. Their hometown of Flint, Michigan still exists, but society has drastically changed, and is engaged in a conflict that will determine the future of the human race. Humans are separated into two groups, the Immortals and the Bereft, who are divided because of their opposing beliefs, and David and Malcolm will be forced to choose a side in this pivotal war.

The central theme of Ethos is humanity’s struggle for purpose, and the process of self-discovery that each individual must go through to discover this purpose. The Immortals believe that each person’s life has a specific purpose, and earn immortality by finding it, but the Bereft choose to die naturally because they reject this idea. This causes David and Malcolm to consider their own beliefs on this issue, and search for a true purpose in their own lives. These characters will not only play a crucial role in humanity’s survival, but also begin a journey of self-discovery that will transform them forever. Through Ethos, readers not only find an interesting and exciting story, but also are challenged to reflect upon these important questions in their own lives.

NEW YORKFebruary 06, 2018Morgan James’ new self-help book release, The Power of Things Unseen: Tales of Choosing Crazy Over Normal by Leanne R. Wood, helps people find the boldness to follow their own life path and discover their potential. It was written for anyone who wants to achieve something greater with their life, but has not yet found the courage to step out into the unknown.

In The Power of Things Unseen, Leanne Wood encourages and teaches readers through a true and engaging personal journey. As an aid worker in post-communist Romania and later an entrepreneur in the U.S., Wood has many exciting and life-changing stories to share in The Power of Things Unseen.

A Dinner Party Planner for the Novice Chef

NEW YORK—January 30, 2018—Morgan James’ new release, Impromptu Friday Nights: A Guide to Supper Clubs by Paul J. Kenny, aims to unite friends and family through the art of food. More than an average cookbook or menu guide, this multi-faceted new book teaches aspiring chefs and inexperienced hosts how to organize and throw the best dinner parties.

 

The best way to socialize is over a good meal, but restaurants can be crowded and eating out gets expensive. Chef Paul Kenny has found that the solution is supper clubs! Hosting regular dinner parties with a select group of friends is more intimate, more affordable, and more fun than going out to eat all the time. However, coming up with a unique menu, organizing the right guest list, and maintaining a fun, comfortable atmosphere for a party can seem daunting. In Impromptu Friday Nights: A Guide to Supper Clubs, Kenny has an answer for all these woes. The expert chef and experienced supper club host provides a step-by-step guide to organizing a successful, ongoing supper club.

 

There’s so much more to a dinner party than just the food. Impromptu Friday Nights offers readers tips on finding the right people, developing the menu, reducing stress, handling costs, party preparation, and actually cooking the meal. Each chapter outlines a different kind of supper club based on different preferences – from a formal club for fine dining experts to a club for those who have zero experience but still love to eat. There’s something for every type of foodie. Though not a cookbook, Impromptu Friday Nights contains sample menus complete with detailed recipes, for those who are just starting their cooking journey.

 

Written by someone who loves great food almost as much as he loves sharing it with others, Impromptu Friday Nights: A Guide to Supper Clubs is a concise how-to planner with a whimsical tone that reminds readers that cooking should be fun and socializing should be stress-free.

A Game Plan for Winning at Parenting

NEW YORK—January 30, 2018—Morgan James’ new release, Coaching the Home Team: Winning the Game of Parenting and Getting the Most Out of Your Child by Jason Taylor, provides parents with teaching and coaching tactics drawn from the world and culture of athletics, and designed to help develop character in their children. Having used these tactics to impact his own children and countless others that he has coached over the years, author Jason Taylor believes that the fundamentals of athletics can propel young people towards success both on and off the field.

 

Being involved in sports encourages numerous positive character traits in children. Good sportsmanship, grace in winning and losing, honesty, teamwork, and integrity are all among the qualities that athletes cultivate while playing and having fun. These characteristics are what drive young athletes to succeed beyond the football field or basketball court, so the techniques coaches use to ingrain them into their players during the game must also be applicable for daily life as well. This is the premise that lead Jason Taylor to write Coaching the Home Team.

 

Coaching the Home Team: Winning the Game of Parenting and Getting the Most Out of Your Child is a parenting book for good parents who want to become great parents. Every parent wants to see their child reach their full potential. Equally beneficial to parents and aspiring sports coaches, Coaching the Home Team provides a practical blueprint for encouraging children to practice sportsmanship in all aspects of their lives and to be the best possible version of themselves.

A Supportive Resource for Parents with Seriously Ill Children

NEW YORK—January 23, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, Lifeline: A Parent’s Guide to Coping with a Child’s Serious or Life-Threatening Medical Issue by Dr. Denise Morett, offers valuable resources to parents of seriously ill children. When her own son was diagnosed with rare, life-threatening tumors, Dr. Morett found the resources available to her at the time to be lacking, and thus wrote Lifeline to share her experiences and offer hope to struggling parents.

 

For a parent to have to see their child sick or in pain is devastating. No one ever thinks their child will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, and to have that happen is an emotional burden that no parent is prepared to bear. Having been in this exact situation herself, Dr. Denise Morett knows first-hand the devastating toll a child’s illness takes on their parents. When her son was diagnosed with his illness, she was devastated, and desperately in search of support. Passionate about helping parents like herself, Dr. Morett wrote Lifeline, which provides readers validation and support along with tools and strategies on how to cope with a child’s life threatening illness.

 

Having a child with a serious illness causes enormous stress to the parent, emotionally, physically, and professionally. These parents often feel that they’re drowning. In the midst of doctor appointments and hospital visits, medications, and the emotional drain of having to see their child suffer, it’s hard to be the encouraging, balanced parent that the child needs. In Lifeline: A Parent’s Guide to Coping with a Child’s Serious or Life-Threatening Medical Issue readers learn how to feel more at peace, how to find physical and emotional balance, how to deal with the doctors and hospitals, and more.

In addition to her professional experience, Dr. Morett also has personal experience in this matter, as her son was diagnosed with a life-threatening series of tumors. Her own struggles coping with her son’s illness inspired her to write Lifeline, to offer the resources she needed back then to parents facing the same situation now.

A Supportive Resource for Parents with Seriously Ill Children2018-01-23T18:25:17-05:00

Enhancing Awareness of Parental Incarceration

NEW YORK—January 23, 2018—Morgan James Kid’s new release, Our Moms by Quniana Futrell, touches on a sensitive subject that often goes ignored. Over 5 million children in the US have had incarcerated parents. The absence of their most important role models can cause serious emotional and psychological trauma. Q. Futrell addresses this issue in an effort to provide comfort and understanding to the children affected and ultimately spread awareness to the adults in their lives.

 

Our Moms is an easy-to-read guide addressing parental incarceration. Unlike other books on this topic, Our Moms is written as a children’s book, targeting the kids affected by the issue rather than the adults observing it. Knowing full well the devastation of having a parent in jail from her own personal experience, Q. Futrell is able to write in a loving and understanding manner that allows her young readers to connect with the story and to know that they are not alone in their struggles. In Our Moms, she reassures children that their situation is not their fault, and offers hope for their futures.

 

Beyond being a simple kid’s book, Our Moms is the start of a movement. Q. Futrell hopes that teachers, school administrators, social workers, and caregivers will utilize this revolutionary children’s book as a conversation starter and a tool to better relate to and support children with incarcerated parents in their time of need. She also hopes to raise awareness of this serious issue facing so many young people today and the detrimental effects it can have on their lives.

 

Every child deserves the chance to create their own story, not predetermined by their parents’ mistakes. With support, care, and the proper tools, the adults in their lives can help steer them towards a future of prosperity and success. Our Moms enables adults to nurture healthy, happy children.

 

If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Q. Futrell, please call Nickcole Watkins at 516.900.5674.
