Deerfield
Beach, FL – Whenever a young woman meets a tragic end, Pat Brown’s phone
starts to ring. She spends the next few days on the national TV circuit
making appearances on The Today Show, CNN, Nancy Grace, and more. She
talks about what kind of person would commit the crime in question
whether it’s a rape, murder, or some other horrific violation. Her hope
is that by sharing some thoughts that may not have occurred to some of
the viewers, she might save some lives.
In her book, How To Save
Your Daughter’s Life: Straight Talk For Parents From America’s Top
Criminal Profiler (HCI Books — $14.95), Pat Brown, who has provided
crime commentary and forensic analysis in more than 2,000 TV and radio
appearances, talks to parents and their daughters in a no-holds-barred
voice to get them to understand how predators choose victims and how to
avoid becoming a target. She covers all of the dangers that today’s
young women face and arms parents with information they rarely get from
professionals.
Brown says that no one deserves to be murdered,
even if she was out selling her body on the street or was buying drugs
in a bad part of town, or was cheating on her boyfriend with his
brother. She feels it’s terribly important to be honest and show women
how the behaviors victims engage in may bring them into harm’s way.
“Talking
about the perpetrator may be fascinating and educational, and we can
rail about changing the system, locking these monsters up, but it isn’t
going to do much to save your daughter’s life today,” Brown says.
In
How To Save Your Daughter’s Life, the author hopes to help parents and
young women understand the world of psychopaths and criminals; how they
think, where they lurk, and how they lure and grab victims. She talks
about what kinds of choices and defenses will protect her and which ones
are dangerous. Each chapter in the book also has suggestions for the
more willful child, and at the end of the chapter is a “Letter to My
Daughter” that even a defiant daughter may benefit from.
This
book reads like a handbook and should be a part of the household of
anyone with a daughter. Truly, this is straight talk for parents from an
expert criminal profiler.

Southlake, TX –
CEO and philanthropist Tom Slone planned a whirlwind round of Major
League Baseball games with his grandsons just for fun. And because he’s a
generous person, he included several other young men and their mentors.
What might have become just a fond memory instead forcefully brought
home some simple, yet life-changing ideas. Grounders is the story of
that trip and the mentoring lessons Slone has used to forge success in
business, sports, and life.
In the introduction to Grounders; A
Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey of Baseball, History, and Mentoring,
renowned CEO coach Tony Jeary writes: “Tom combines the inspiring and
entertaining story of a grand baseball journey with 33 essential lessons
that all of us (yes, even those of us who are already very successful)
can apply in our lives. He also demonstrates, over and over, the
life-changing power of mentoring.”
Slone is Chairman and CEO of
Touchstone Communications in Southlake, Texas. Prior to founding
Touchstone Communications in 2002, Mr. Slone was president of the
largest consumer operation in the world at Associates First Capital. At

assets of $33 billion and 14,000 employees. In 2000 he was awarded the
American Financial Services Association Distinguished Service Award.
Slone
holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of
Pittsburgh, where he is a Director of the Alumni Board and a member of
the Board of Visitors. In 2005 he received the university’s Legacy
Laureate Award, one of its most prestigious awards. He also served on
the Executive Advisory Board of the Department of Marketing and

University of Texas, raising over half a million dollars. He and his

Denver, CO – The Bane of Yoto, by Joshua
Viola, is a trans-media experience that offers many ways to explore its
rich storyline. From paperback or eBook to a free 3D interactive comic
mobile app, this attention-grabbing novel was recently released by
independent record label and music publisher FiXT – and promises to
transport readers to a sinister world of cosmic drama and action they
will never forget!
Formerly a professor of Game Art and Design,
and now Art Director for Leviathan Games, Viola’s astounding vision is
unmistakable in this perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy that
comes together in a breakneck paced, action-packed plot where creatively
original characters battle for their very existence in a brutal world.
Drawing
rave reviews for its originality and vision, The Bane of Yoto has won
awards from both the 2012 New York Book Festival and the 2012 Hollywood
Book Festival, and is the first installment in a trilogy of
science-fantasy novels by Joshua Viola.
…Some say the
Arbitrators existed long before the world was born. Others believe their
dark powers spun the fabric of time itself. They are mystery. But this
is truth. After ages of formless existence, the Arbitrators craved
physicality once more and in their search for a worthy body to inhabit,
they destroyed Ajyin – home to the gentle, blue-fleshed Numah and the
combative, carapaced Olokun. But not all was lost. General Vega and his
vile warriors enslaved the remaining Numah and they relocated to Ajyin’s
thriving moon, Neos.
Under the general’s imperious rule, the
Numah toiled to extract minerals for a defensive barrier called the
Aegis Shield that the general vowed would protect Neos from the
Arbitrators’ return. But the Arbitrators’ hunger sparked a great fire – a
blaze of revenge and revolution that soon found its home in the heart
of a weak and cowardly Numah named Yoto, transforming him from a meek
member of an enslaved society into a beast fit for the gods. Will he use
his new-found power to free his people – or annihilate them? Once
again, the Arbitrators’ dark presence haunts the world of Numah and
Olokun.
Always looking to break new ground, FiXT (owned by
cyber-rocker Klayton of Celldweller), recently entered the book
publishing business with The Bane of Yoto. Staying with the book’s
theme, Viola has merchandise available ranging from PlayStation 3
Dynamic Themes, Sculptures and T-shirts, to posters and more, that are
available through FiXT.
