Carol Kauffman’s New Book ‘Crystal Child: The Diamond Star Saga’ is a Gripping Fantasy Following a Young Girl Who Must Accept Her New Destiny to Save Humanity

COLUMBUS, Ohio – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Carol Kauffman, M.A., language specialist, who provided services to children with challenges such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, and PTSD for over 40 years, has completed her most recent book “Crystal Child: The Diamond Star Saga”: a brilliant and captivating narrative following the adventures of Kristal, who suddenly finds her life changed forever when her brother disappears and she is transported far from home.

Kristal has attention deficit disorder. It’s true she’d rather draw, daydream, and create fantasy worlds in the forest behind her house. Tad, her twin brother, has autism and is obsessed with repeating meaningless numbers over and over. The school bully calls him an alien. Kristal and Tad are different from their peers, but their challenges have only brought them closer,

Until Jan. 22, 2027, that is, when a terrifying force suddenly rips them apart. Tad disappears into thin air, and Kristal finds herself in a world so bizarre she’s sure she must be dreaming. But slowly she learns the truth. She’s been teleported—to a star.

Greeted by a group of brilliant scientists, she is ushered into a great chamber where they tell their story. Once a community in northern Finland working diligently on healing the Earth, they were raided by AI thugs from the planet Cancri e. The AIs methodically slaughtered over 250 humans, forcing a small group of survivors to flee Earth. Now humanity’s only hope is a mysterious prophecy claiming a Crystal Child will produce the perfect solution for the Cancris’ successful advancement to a human-hybrid species. If she fails, the Cancris will kill all those on the star and annihilate all beings on Earth. Then they plan to settle in—forever.

Kristal is stunned. She’s the Crystal Child? Even the scientists have tried and failed to conquer the Cancris. And she’s just an ordinary, clueless kid in middle school, with ADD no less. The harder she tries to think, the more her brain shuts down. She’s the opposite of what humankind needs right now. What a cruel, cosmic joke. But no one’s laughing. And now, all eyes are on her.

Published by Fulton Books, Carol Kauffman’s tale centers around Kristal as she summons her fortitude and steps up to the plate to become humanity’s last chance for survival. As Kristal’s destiny unfolds, readers will discover incredible new worlds and characters that bring Kauffman’s story to life and deliver a magical and unforgettable journey.

Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “Crystal Child: The Diamond Star Saga” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Michael Meyer’s New Book ‘The Odyssey of Winnie: Our Two-Year Adventure Owning an RV’ is a Humorous Yet Informative Account of the Trials and Tribulations of RV Travel

GRANGER, Ind. – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Michael Meyer, an award-winning professor at the University of Notre Dame, has completed his most recent book “The Odyssey of Winnie: Our Two-Year Adventure Owning an RV”: a cautionary and comical first-hand report on the realities of RV ownership.

“The purpose of this book is to share our adventures as I saw them,” says Meyer. “I will share what I’ve learned about owning an RV (for example, I learned that I am a bad driver) and planning trips so that you can laugh at my mistakes and hopefully learn from them once you buy an RV.”

Published by Fulton Books, Michael Meyer’s book chronicles his two-year adventure of owning Winnie, a 15-year-old Winnebago lovingly nicknamed by his daughters. During his time with Winnie, Meyer took his family on two “trips of a lifetime” across the country. From naming to selling an RV, Meyer gives readers a comprehensive look at living mobile. 

Along the way, Meyer and his family make several wacky mistakes that the author anticipates will prove educational to those planning to buy an RV. Meyer wrote this book with “the hope that your travels will not include being splashed in the face with poop water.” Filled with plenty of humor and heart, “The Odyssey of Winnie” is quite the entertaining instruction manual.

Readers who wish to experience this illuminating work can purchase “The Odyssey of Winnie: Our Two-Year Adventure Owning an RV” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Rock band Push Puppets from Chicago

CHICAGO – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Just in time for the midterm elections, Push Puppets, a Waterweight Music Ltd. recording artist, has released an animated lyric video for the song “October Surprise”, which takes on the spread of disinformation over social and traditional media.

The song from the new album “Allegory Grey” is about an imaginary training session at a Russian troll farm for spreading propaganda. It is a powerful rock anthem that musically falls somewhere between Pink Floyd and Oasis with lush harmonies and guitar work reminiscent of Queen.

The video shows false information being spread over social media, print and television, beginning with the ridiculous claim that Hillary Clinton is running a child trafficking ring from the basement of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria. It continues with messages such as “COVID-19 is fake” and bleach and ivermectin can treat COVID. It progresses toward the messaging that led to the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, which is inaccurately described as a false-flag operation by Antifa.

“I feel the propaganda that is ubiquitous on social media and amplified by right-wing television and radio is one of the biggest threats to our country at this time,” says band leader Erich Specht. “I have never shied away from sharing my feelings on political issues, and something I feel so strongly about needs to be expressed.”

The album “Allegory Grey”, which was released on Sept. 30, is pop/rock with earworm melodies and shiny production that belie the often bittersweet sentiments in the thoughtful lyrics. In addition to his bread-and-butter topics of dysfunctional relationships and hopeless pining, Erich also writes about such subjects as freaking out over receiving an email saying a computer was compromised, convincing a co-conspirator to take the fall, and Karma blowing up his house and running him off the road.

Two music videos for the singles that were released over the summer in advance of the album are also available on YouTube. The singles “Sometimes the Buds Never Flower” and “There’s No One Else Like Lynette” reached the top of the Radio Indie Alliance Top 75 over the past few months. Additional videos will be released over the coming months.

“Allegory Grey” is the third album from Push Puppets. The band consists of songwriter Erich Specht on lead vocals and guitar, Tommi Zender on guitar and vocals, John William Lauler on bass, Kyle Magnusson on keyboards and Greg Essig on drums. The video was created by Petros Tryfon.

Volition Beauty and A+E Networks Unveil Product Development Partnership
VOLITION S\u00e9millon Overnight Retinol Serum

This serum combines the antioxidant power of Grape Seed with a stable, encapsulated Retinol and vegan Hyaluronic Acid to provide a three-prong defense against premature aging.

LOS ANGELES – October 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Volition™, the leading beauty platform of the Creator Economy, known for its best-selling clean, vegan and cruelty-free skincare products, today announced it has entered a multi-year beauty product development deal with A+E Networks®. Over the course of the partnership, select A+E talent will become Volition “Innovators,” working hand-in-hand with Brand chemists and creatives to bring unique skincare SKUs to market under the Volition label. 

The first such Innovator is Jana Kramer, star of Lifetime’s upcoming Steppin’ into the Holiday, who has co-created Volition’s new retinol-based collection, starting with the new Volition Sémillon Overnight Retinol Serum with Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid launching November 2022, $69. An eye cream and full skincare bundle will follow in early 2023.

“A+E Networks is thrilled to launch this foundational enterprise with Volition as we further extend the reach of our Lifetime brand together with meaningful partners. Our first collaboration with Lifetime star Jana Kramer highlights her broad appeal throughout social media as a fervent ambassador for healthy living and natural skin care. We look forward to Jana’s glowing complexion representing the vision of the Lifetime brand extension into skin care,” said Lance Still, SVP, Consumer Enterprises, A+E Networks.

When CEO & Founder Patricia Santos created Volition, her vision was an assortment of products developed with entrepreneurial content creators as authentic extensions of their personal brand. This first A+E Networks collaboration embodies that vision as Kramer wanted to create a unique facial serum that harnessed the antioxidant power of sémillon grape seed in a potent anti-wrinkle serum to help protect skin from free radicals. “I have long been passionate about winemaking, but it always bothered me how the grape seeds are discarded when making white wines,” says Kramer.

“We’re delighted to start this partnership with Jana, as she is passionate about her first product with Volition and her large, engaged audience of beauty enthusiasts will organically amplify our reach.” Volition currently engages with a digital community of approximately 600,000 users and expects that number to increase substantially over the duration of the new deal. “We believe this partnership can revolutionize the way in which brands and talent work together, as we set out to create compelling, new beauty ideas,” says Santos of the future with A+E Networks talent and expanded brand offerings from Volition. “This is an exciting start.”

Steppin’ into the Holiday follows the story of former Broadway star Billy Holiday (Mario Lopez) who returns to his hometown for Christmas after being abruptly fired from a hit TV series “Celebrity Dance Off.” While there, he encounters Rae (Jana Kramer), the charismatic owner of the local dance studio where Billy’s 12-year-old nephew is her standout student. Rae and Billy collaborate to revive the town’s traditional Christmas Eve show as a dance recital fundraiser and romantic sparks start flying! Steppin’ into the Holiday premieres Friday, November 25 at 8/7C on Lifetime.

Sémillon Overnight Retinol Serum with Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid is available at volitionbeauty.com and will retail at Ulta.com beginning January 2023.

Author René Thomforde’s new book ‘Tutu Aloha Gets to Dance’ is the heartwarming tale of a young girl who never gives up on her dream and years later finds it fulfilledRecent release “Tutu Aloha Gets to Dance” from Covenant Books author René Thomforde centers around a young girl named Aloha who never quite manages to master the art of hula dancing. After becoming a grandma, Aloha returns to her island home, still dreaming of hula dancing, and turns to God for guidance on starting a new life and finally realizing her dreams.
