NEW YORK—July 16, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Clothes the Deal: The Guide for  Transformative Personal Style, by Jenn Mapp Bressan, is the savvy woman’s handbook to maintaining a minimalist, mindful approach to fashion and personal style. As a personal stylist and closet coach, Jenn Mapp Bressan explains why closet size doesn’t matter, the surprising places you store “closet fat” and how to eliminate it for good, and ten essential garments women need to create an endless wardrobe. Clothes the Deal teaches women how to master an enviable look for work and play that they can depend on for the rest of their life.

In Clothes the Deal, Jenn Mapp Bressan presents a convincing argument for adopting a minimal wardrobe, reinforces a “slow-fashion” approach to clothing purchases, and encourages women to reignite their self esteem through self-care and grooming. Bressan discourages the idea that stylish people have large closets, as she claims that owning excess items is not the same as owning valuable pieces. “Women wear fast fashion pieces less than 5 times before they are discarded,” she writes, telling women to stop buying, “cheap, trendy, and cheerful garments” that will not last through repeated washing and wearing.

Jenn Mapp Bressan encourages women to “trim the fat” of their closets in order to use the “Lean Closet Model,”  an approach based on maximizing value and minimizing waste, which requires cutting spending and increasing productivity. The “Lean Closet Model,” or Capsule Waredrobe, has a strong foundation of well-made clothes, usually comprised of 35-40 core items, which don’t include accessories, undergarments, or other closet staples. Bressan’s systematic approach to purging closets makes the ordeal far more manageable than if done alone. Her word choice appeals most to female entrepreneurs, but her techniques can be applied universally, to anyone’s closet.

NEW YORK—July 16, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Operation Toussaint, by Timothy Ballard, Russell Brunson, and Nicholas Nanton, reveals how an ex-special agent, and Operation Underground Railroad, save children from sex trafficking worldwide. After leaving his position with the U.S. Government, Timothy Ballard created Operation Underground Railroad, where he and his team rescue victims of child sex trafficking across the world. Operation Toussaint focuses specifically on Ballard’s work in Haiti, and his mission to end modern-day slavery.

As a colorful adaptation of the documentary, Operation Toussaint uses editorial photography, dialogue transcriptions and stunning graphics to tell a story. Timothy Ballard shares the ugly truth behind human trafficking: that the United States is the top consumer of child pornography in the world, which directly contributes to the demand of child sex slavery. Ballard feels a strong sense of responsibility to the children being sold, both as a father and as a United States citizen, and refuses to rest until those who have stolen these children are brought to justice.

Timothy Ballard is not afraid to go to the darkest corners of the world and, with the aid of local teams, to arrest child traffickers and rescue children wherever they need help. By honestly sharing his experiences in Operation Toussaint, Ballard encourages young adults and beyond who are interested in making a difference to get involved in the movement to end child sex trafficking.

He has also assisted in the training of many law enforcement officers in these procedures and testified before the United States Congress. Ballard continues to work undercover in the United States and in multiple foreign countries to infiltrate child-trafficking organizations. He currently resides in Utah.

NEW YORK—July 16, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, The Possibility Mom: How To Be a Great Mom and Pursue Your Dreams at the Same Time, by Lisa Canning, helps moms to be less stressed, feel less guilt, and get more done while chasing their dreams. As an experienced interior designer and lifestyle expert, Lisa Canning shows moms not only what is possible, but how to design those possibilities themselves. The Possibility Mom provides  solutions to trim the to-do list, clarify priorities, get more done in less time, and to ultimately live a life they love and design themselves.

The Possibility Mom serves as a handbook for moms who want to succeed at work and at home, featuring strategies for busy moms to thrive, instead of just survive. Lisa Canning is a working mother of six who understands that modern motherhood is a demanding, tough job, where succeeding at work may cause mothers to feel like they’re failing at home, and vice versa. Canning honestly shares her feelings of shame and guilt as a “mompreneur,” caused primarily by valuing societal expectations over her own needs, and the needs of her family. She does make the case that work should not be the top priority in a mother’s life, but it should be beneath a woman’s marriage, children, and her own health, in order to live a well balanced life.

In The Possibility Mom, Lisa Canning goes in depth of how to make a burgeoning entrepreneur’s dreams into reality. Canning emphasizes the importance of progress over perfection, as well as the essential power of saying no to some things, in order to make room for better opportunities. She provides worksheets and exercises throughout The Possibility Mom for mothers to better understand and map out their future family and career goals. Canning also encourages women to visualize their most authentic selves when making these plans, and to dream big, without letting concerns of money, experience, or circumstance get in their way.

NEW YORK—July 9, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Fertility Fuel: Create Your Family Without Losing Your Mind, Your Marriage, or Your Money, by Susan G. Schiff, provides an integrative approach to understanding and overcoming infertility. With over twenty years of experience in acupuncture and eastern medicine, Susan G. Schiff focuses on the entirety of a patient’s life that can impact their fertility, from their diet and exercise habits to their past traumas and emotional well being. Schiff offers a holistic alternative to traditional infertility options, to be used alongside modern medicine’s approach of diagnosis and treatment, without the fear and frustration it typically brings.

Approximately 1 in 6 families struggles with infertility, but Susan G. Schiff is determined to help those families put their health and happiness first without giving up on their dreams. In Fertility Fuel, she examines modern medicine’s approach to infertility, acknowledging the good work of advanced technology while honestly reporting the cost of many new techniques, many of which are too expensive for the average family. Schiff helps patients seperate facts from scare tactics without ignoring other factors that may be impacting their fertility.

Fertility Fuel offers five steps to get one’s body in the best possible state for fertility. The first step examines the past experiences, motivations and current emotional status of a prospective patient, emphasizing the impact of stress and other psychological triggers on overall health. The second step provides a lifestyle assessment that covers a multitude of areas, including medications, diet, exercise, and alcohol usage, as well as the patient’s medical history, before using the results to inform step three: the action plan. After creating a personalized action plan, steps four and five examine more in-depth subjects that could be impacting a patient’s fertility, such as their circadian rhythm and medical labs. “We tend to think that we are healthy until our bodies don’t do what we want or need them to do,” Schiff claims, explaining that true change and success in fertility may require more than just multiple attempts.

Schiff addresses women directly in order to create a casual, conversational tone around an often uncomfortable and frustrating subject. Her writing is aimed at women having difficulty getting pregnant, whether they are at the beginning of their journey, full of questions and doubts about the future, or if they have struggled for years, receiving difficult diagnoses from specialists and attempting extensive medical interventions. Schiff is determined to create a new conception plan for anyone looking to try something different, one that is realistic and healthy.

NEW YORK—July 9, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Leonard & Loulou by Esther Buerki, illustrated by Teodora Dimitrova, helps young children and adults alike speak about their feelings and encourages a sense of importance in their daily lives. Leonard & Loulou creates an opportunity for parents to talk to their children about bullying, as well as encourage their self esteem, and it teaches young children, especially boys, that being sensitive to one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, can be a strength, rather than a weakness.

Esther Buerki’s story is inspired by a season of her own life, when her son did not want to go to school, but preferred to stay home and play with their cat. She recognizes how animals can help young children feel loved and accepted, especially if those children have trouble getting along with children their age. Buerki displays healthy ways to talk about self esteem and emotional sensitivity through the friendship of Loulou, a cat who seeks to understand human emotions, and Leonard, a boy who feels out of place at his highly competitive school.

Through the unexpected friendship of a boy and his cat, as well as conversations Leonard has with new animals along the way, Esther Buerki shows that talking about a problem can make an insurmountable task seem much smaller. She depicts calm, honest conversations between friends, where Leonard shares his worries and fears, and Loulou encourages him to be brave and resilient when confronting his fears. Buerki does not diminish the concerns of young children, but rather reminds parents to listen when comforting their child. Leonard & Loulou is a book for young children, and perhaps some adults, who struggle with feeling good enough, and need to be reminded of their inherent value.

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

About the Author: Esther Buerki is a journalist and communication manager who loved to read her old children’s books to her sons every night before they went to bed. She studied French, German, and English and has been published many times in Swiss newspapers. Esther currently resides in Winterthur, Switzerland, with her two sons and four cats.

About the Illustrator: The Bulgarian artist, Teodora Dimitrova, studied at the National school of Fine Arts “Ilia Petrov”. She lectures about illustrations at the Academy of Art in Sofia, Bulgaria, and works as a freelancer. Her paintings in Leonard and Loulou are her first work outside of her home country, Bulgaria.

More About This Title: Leonard & Loulou by Esther Buerki, will be released by Morgan James Publishing on July 9, 2019. Leonard & Loulou—ISBN 9781642792515—has 32 pages and is being sold as a trade paperback for $12.95.

NEW YORK—July 9, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, The Cosmic Carrot: A Journey to Wellness, Clear Vision, & Good Nutrition by Robert Grand, illustrated by Ros Webb, is a colorful and whimsical tale of two boys proactively taking ownership of their health and well being through orthokeratology, home gardening, and an organic diet. Robert Grand portrays wellness as the ability to succeed in life without the hinderances of poor health, and offers healthy, noninvasive suggestions to help children accomplish their goals.

Due to his experience as optometric physician, Robert Grand leans on his medical background throughout the story. He reviews the process of orthokeratology, a nonsurgical approach to improving corneal growth, in a way that is easy for children to understand, and emphasizes the importance of eating a diet high in organic, locally-grown fruits and vegetables, to help with children’s allergies and general health. Grand encourages parents of children with strong allergic reactions to examine that child’s diet prior to prescribing allergy medication, to potentially find the cause of the problem. He also suggests that parents try a local, organic diet without medication for a season, to allow a child’s immune system to adjust to local flora, and potentially remove the need for extraneous medication.

The Cosmic Carrot is a beautifully illustrated story that engages young children with charming rhymes while teaching powerful life lessons. Robert Grand provides parents with the opportunity to discuss nutrition and vision health with their children in a calm and safe way. Grand also encourages personal responsibility in young children through the examples of Max and Mitch, children who can be trusted to avoid unhealthy snacks and regularly follow medical advice in order to maintain their health.

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

About the Author: As an eye doctor and orthokeratologist, Robert Grand combines two of his passions—resolving nearsightedness and nutrition issues in kids—in his debut children’s picture book, The Cosmic Carrot. When he’s not writing, Robert enjoys travel and international cinema and is a freshwater tropical fish aquarium hobbyist. Robert and his wife, Belle, live in Miami, Florida.

About the Illustrator: Ros Webb is a fashion designer, a fashion illustrator, and an illustrator of children’s books.
