Anyone who has been around young children has heard their cry of protest, “That’s not fair,” when some sort of consequence is meted out for misbehavior. In reality, what is being objected to is fairness, as consequences were spelled out ahead of time and known to all. Parent: “One more …

o, seven brave young people decided to take a dangerous journey in pursuit of freedom. Oppressed by the Communist regime of the People’s Republic of Hungary, Frank Iszak and his friends devised a plan to hijack a plane and fly it over the Iron Curtain, hoping to find life and freedom in West Germany. They had no weapons. They had no map. They had no guarantees. They merely had hope.
With a first hand account of the tyranny of the Soviet Union and the trauma inflicted by the Cold War, Frank Iszak transports readers to scene from long ago, with vividness that will let them feel the desperation and need for escape coursing through them. With its riveting cliffhangers and unforgettable account of the tenacity of the human spirit, Freedom Flight will keep readers on the edge of their seats and leave them with a renewed sense of gratitude for their freedom.
Time Magazine says, “it has all the elements of a blockbuster,” and the book is currently being transformed into a major motion picture. In print and on screen, Freedom Flight will take you on a life or death adventure through an era of darkness and on a quest for a brighter future.

About the Author:
Frank Iszak was a journalist at the apex of the Communist terror in Hungary when his article about the dissolution of a collective farm landed him in a uranium mine for “re-education.” He escaped, but remained a fugitive within the heavily guarded borders of Hungary. In order to escape Hungary, he organized a boxing team and on their way to the regional championship, they diverted their domestic flight across the Iron Curtain. Condemned to death (in absentia), he received political asylum in the West and immigrated to the U.S. He worked as a chemist, publisher, public speaker, private investigator, and martial artist. Today, he teaches yoga in San Diego with his wife, Serpil.

Close Relationship with Your Publisher
Viewing Publishers as Partners
The savvy Entrepreneurial Author views a publisher as a partner, for that in essence is what they are. Each benefits from the actions of the other. Each profits from the excellence of the other.
Once you realize that your publisher is actually your partner in the process, you will want to learn more about that publisher, just as you continue learning about your own enterprise and your audience. The closer you become to the publisher, the more you will gain a “favored nation” status. Old friends do favors for old friends.
To become close to your publisher, you must develop five modes of behavior.
The Care and Feeding of Publishers
1. Stay in Contact
Let your publisher know when they’ve done something right as well as when they’ve done something wrong. Keep them up to date on your plans so that they can tailor their plans accordingly, and both of you will avoid crises.
2. Inform Your Publisher of Your Marketing Plan
Give them advance notice so that they can be prepared for an influx of orders. This also lets them know how important you are in the industry and the community so that they will treat your book with the respect it deserves.
3. Be Loyal to Your Publisher
Of course, you will always listen to competitive bids for your work, but deep down, you know that the best relationships are the old relationships, so you see it as your job to improve the publisher’s prices, quality, service, or selection with your suggestions rather than deserting them for another. Get your publisher to know your enterprise inside and out so that they develop radar for your needs.
4. Alert Your Publisher to Problems
Let your publisher know if you have a problem. Entrepreneurial Authors do not harbor grudges. Instead, they don’t hesitate to pick up the phone (or mouse) to make a call (or send an e-mail) pointing out the problem immediately. Instead of waiting and allowing resentment to build up, solve the problem for yourself and the publisher as quickly as possible. After all, you want this to be a permanent relationship, so get rid of problems as they arise, or they will come back to haunt you.
5. View You Publisher as an Ally
Entrepreneurial Authors know that their publisher might be ideal for a strategic alliance. Your publisher might go in with you on a mutual promotion, a special event, or a publicity effort. Your publisher might even invest in your company, knowing the quality that you offer and how you cherish relationships.
When you have a warm, close, trusting relationship with your publisher, you will receive these benefits:
* Better service
* Availability of product when you need it
* Priority treatment
* Customized handling
* Immediate attention
* In-depth understanding of one another’s problems and opportunities
* Kept promises
* Complete honesty
* Advance notice
These are only the surface ways in which you’ll benefit. Perhaps the peace of mind of not having to constantly scour for a new publisher will be the biggest benefit of all. And you certainly can’t underestimate the power of trust between people.
Authors who have a close relationship with publishers have their fingers on the pulse of their industries. This keen insight provides them with the competitive edge that Entrepreneurial Authors hold so dearly. Every year in the United States, nearly six hundred thousand new books are published. Authors have to seek out publishers and then establish relationships with them once they have learned that they can trust them. Only then can they begin to nurture that relationship to the point at which it can be considered close.
As an Entrepreneurial Author, you’ll have the benefit of a close publishing relationship. While your would-be competitors will be out beating the business in search of a trustworthy publisher, you’ll probably be at the ballgame with yours. You’ll be succeeding at business and having a good time—all at once. That’s the way of The Entrepreneurial Author.

NEW YORK—March 16, 2016–Morgan James’s new release, All I Ever Wanted was to be Called Mom by Steve Petrou, is the true story of a woman and her husband’s battle to have a child.
With 
the advances in technology that the twenty-first century has brought, one would think that fertility issues and birth defects were a struggle of the past. Unfortunately, they are still causing anguish in many men and women today. These struggles, however, are nothing in comparison to the undeniable yearning for a woman to be a mother.
All I Ever Wanted was to be Called Mom explores the heartache faced by a couple when they try unsuccessfully to get pregnant. The strain it places on their relationship, their hope, and their future of having a family is almost too much for them to bear.
While they face so much pain and suffering, this couple also gets a glimpse at each other’s true character. The husband sees his wife’s selflessness and her unwillingness to accept defeat. Likewise, the wife realizes her husband’s self-doubt and his humility over feeling as though he cannot comfort her in this time. In all, the incredible torment they endure brings this couple closer together and aids their unbreakable mission to raise a family.
Although infertility and birth struggles are a very personal and tender topic, Petrou invites readers to share in his experience of life and death that ended in a way he never could have expected. All I Ever Wanted was to be Called Mom, is a one of a kind story with a powerful message of love, hope, and faith that will rock emotions and stir up its readers.
