NEW YORK—April 14, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, The Jealous Son, the newest novel by Michele Chynoweth, is a modern-day murder mystery based on the story of Cain and Abel that shows what happens when envy goes too far. “A bold, tragic and emotionally exploratory drama” (Kirkus Reviews), the novel touches on current issues such as the opioid crisis, suicide and sanctuary cities. Michele Chynoweth is a best-selling author of several contemporary suspense novels that re-imagine Bible stories including The Faithful One, The Peace Maker, and The Runaway Prophet.

In The Jealous Son, Chynoweth introduces a family fighting against difficult circumstances. The parents of the two central characters, Cameron and Austin, are working to build a new life for their sons after being forced out of their community and into a new, foreign environment. Initially the boys grow up with little issues; however, as they shift into adulthood, tensions rise when Cameron’s competitive spirit causes him to compare his lot in life to that of his brother. Austin appears to get everything Cameron wants – money, fame, and love – until Cameron decides to even the scales and get revenge.

Michele Chynoweth believes the Old Testament stories are often difficult to read and comprehend, so she illustrates that re-imagining them in contemporary times with edgy fiction that’s fast-paced and entertaining can help men and women appreciate them in a new way. Chynoweth understands the power and importance of sharing God’s message with the world and hopes that her stories will bring people back to the Bible itself.

NEW YORK— April 14, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, Resetting: An Unplanned Journey of Love, Loss, and Living Again, by Susan B. Hassmiller, is a gripping tale of immense love and loss with practical, everyday lessons on finding a positive and healthy path forward, away from grief. Susan B. Hassmiller’s experience as a health professional, as well as her own story of loss, informs the pages of Resetting, as she depicts how to wrestle with grief and move beyond it.

Susan B. Hassmiller knows that, while grief and loss are universal to the human experience, the idea of loss is greatly feared and ignored in modern society. Many are unwilling to discuss the topic of loss unless they are personally experiencing it, as they believe that discussing death will somehow make it more powerful. Hassmiller, however, is not afraid to discuss the impact death has had on her life as a career nurse and widow. She has watched the journeys of suffering and death in her patients, while also experiencing it firsthand, which completely blindsided her emotionally and spiritually. 

Resetting is written in a diary format, offering a look at the private thoughts and feelings Hassmiller experienced throughout the grief process. Susan B. Hassmiller helps those who have suffered loss by providing unfiltered depictions of her experiences and offering suggestions on how to cope, from words to say to tasks to take on. Hassmiller’s hope is to provide a safe space for others experiencing loss, so that they do not feel so isolated and trapped in the darkness of their own thoughts. 

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

About the Author: Susan Beth Hassmiller works for Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the largest philanthropy in the United States, devoted to improving the health and healthcare for all Americans.  A nurse by profession, she writes and presents frequently to national and international audiences on the importance of nursing as a means of improving the health care system. After growing from the pain of losing her own husband, Susan began to teach those around her what it is like to experience profound grief. Among perhaps hundreds of lessons, she uses her blog to illustrate how to speak to a grieving person; how to manage finances; and how healthcare providers might do a much better job for providing compassion at the front line. Susan currently resides in Princeton, NJ.

NEW YORK—April 7, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, Owning Game-Changing Subcategories: Uncommon Growth in the Digital Age, is by David Aaker, author and Vice Chairman at Prophet – a leading growth consultancy. In his 17th brand and marketing strategy book, Aaker asserts that the ONLY way to grow (with rare exceptions) in the digital age is to create, position, and own new “must have” defined subcategories that meaningfully changes the customer experience or brand relationships. Aaker’s insights and analysis shows that the alternative, “My brand is better than your brand” competition, simply does not generate growth.

He argues that one key to growth is to find or create a set of “must haves” that a core customer base will understand and depend on.  The task is to create game-changing brands like Chobani, Tesla, Warby Parker, Enterprise Rent-A-CAR, Dollar Shave Club, Airbnb and many others have done.  

Aaker’s second key, not found in other strategy books, is to become a subcategory exemplar brand and use that brand to position, scale and create barriers for the new subcategory.  Positioning means to make the ‘must haves” visible and credible, while scaling creates a customer base that stimulates buzz and inhibits competitors. Barriers are created when there is ongoing innovation and branding strategy.

The book shows why digital has placed subcategory creation on steroids.  Digital provides new type of “must haves;” fast and economical access to customers through e-commerce, websites, and social media; and enables brand communities  that provide both involvement and social activity. 

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

About the Author: David Aaker is the author of more than one hundred articles and 17 books on marketing, business strategy, and branding that have sold over one million copies. A recognized global authority on branding, he has developed concepts and methods on brand building that are used by organizations around the world. Aaker has served as Vice Chairman at Prophet, a global growth consultancy, for over 20 years.
