Praised For Its Originality, This Action-Packed Saga Has A 3D Comic App With Music By Celldweller

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

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.

Music With A Purpose: To Change Lives And The World

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Houston, TX –
Vaughaligan “Von Won” Walwyn was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands and
raised on Houston’s southeast side. After this all-American athlete and
record holder in long jump had a career-ending knee injury about the
same time he lost his father to AIDS, it put him on a journey of bad
decisions which lead him to being repeatedly tazed and abused by police –
on a night he refers to as “Shock Therapy.”

This event pushed
Von Won to put down his reckless lifestyle of drinking, drug abuse and
chasing riches, to living a life of integrity. Von Won Walwyn has
emerged as an inspirational recording artist, writer and powerful
motivational speaker, who challenges youth and young adults around the
world to pursue their dreams and overcome all obstacles to reach their
goal.

Walwyn also heads up Von Won Ministries in Houston; a
faith based organization that targets at-risk youth in its ‘Mission
Possible’ program. While this ministry is spearheaded by Von Won, it
supports several ministers and operates in many dynamic functions that share a common goal – to change the world through faith-based media.

Von
Won Walwyn is a graduate of Rice University, all-American
athlete/rapper, and a dedicated husband and father whose transition
released him from drugs and alcohol and empowered him to become a
successful gospel artist and motivational speaker. In fact, he recently
signed a new record contract to Purpose By Faith Music Group, a record
label started by Quintin Demps, #27 for the Houston Texans, who is also
beginning a career as a Christian rap singer.

Von
Won set out to change the negative impact many of today’s role models
in music and athletics have had on young people and, by raising the bar,
he has now given America’s youth a positive role model to emulate!

Von
Won Walwyn has been featured in the Houston Chronicle and appeared on
the Great Day Houston television show. He has also been the opener for
Fred Hammond, T.D. Jakes and Kirk Franklin, among other great
celebrities.

What Really Silenced Whitney Houston’s Once Beautiful Voice And Caused Her Untimely Death?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Las Vegas,
NV – Whitney Houston’s powerful voice made her one of the greatest
musical geniuses of our generation. Yet even while she attained a level
of triumphant success that surpassed all other musical stars, she
descended into the pits of an internal hell that finally took her life.
While her descent was fueled by drugs and supported by a destructive
marriage, “the true cause of her death has never been revealed before
now,” says Judith Sherven, PhD.

Beginning with early childhood
and tracing her life and career, What Really Killed Whitney Houston?
(JayEss Publishing) by husband and wife psychology team Judith Sherven,
PhD and Jim Sniechowski, PhD examines her life and death through the
lens of her unconscious loyalties and explains how these loyalties
deprived her of being able to embrace and live inside her success.

Best-selling
authors, relationship experts, and sought-after keynote speakers Judith
& Jim (as they are best known) specialize in ‘The Fear of Being
Fabulous’ and in their latest book What Really Killed Whitney Houston?
they compassionately reveal the depth of Whitney’s internal hell and
what ultimately cost her her life.

It would seem that being one
of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million
albums, singles, and videos worldwide, and being cited by the Guinness
World Records as the most-awarded female act of all time, Whitney would
have felt very secure about who she was. Unfortunately, the extreme
pressure put on celebrities took both an emotional and physical toll on
Whitney. While outwardly, she showed the world a beautiful woman with a
voice like an angel – inside she was dealing with her own set of demons.

Judging by the rave reviews, all of us can learn from this book
and gain freedom from our fears and issues. Art Klein, best-selling
Book of the Month Club Author and former V.P. of Marketing for The New
York Times Corporation, summed it up by saying: “This is the most
important book ever written about the most important subject facing
every aware human being: how to fulfill your magnificence and not
succumb to lethal unconscious allegiances. This is a book about the
deepest personal freedom possible. Nothing matters more.”  

What
Really Killed Whitney Houston? is the sixth book by relationship experts
Judith & Jim, whose first five books are already best-sellers. They
have accurately discovered the core issue that holds people back from
the success they desire and the solutions outlined in their book are
evolutionary and enlightening.

Judith & Jim are sought after
executive coaches for many major corporations nationwide and
internationally, and as guest experts they have appeared on over 2500
television and radio shows including Oprah, The View, 48 Hours, Canada
AM, MSNBC and CNN as well as being interviewed for and published by many
high profile magazines and newspapers.

Your Summer May Be Hot, But How About Your Sex Life?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Houston, TX – Sex is the glue that keeps a relationship solid and, without it, even if you are best friends, good parents and a great team – if you’re living like roommates, your relationship is at risk from failure. In Stop Calling Him Honey…and Start Having Sex! (HCI) authors Julienne Davis and Maggie Arana have the solution for The Roommate Syndrome, a term they coined in this groundbreaking book. Arana and Davis have been in this situation in the past and that is why they wanted to write the book – to share with the millions of women who might have lost the desire to have sex with their spouse that it’s not that difficult to get that spark back.

Challenging the status quo, Arana and Davis have found it’s the everyday things we say and do that can sabotage our sexual chemistry – something all of the other self-help books seem to have overlooked. While other books recommend date nights and sexy lingerie, this one looks at the subtle and powerful ways we dull our desire for each other and offers groundbreaking advice to solve this too-common dilemma.

Through interviews with ordinary women, celebrities and models, the authors compiled some remarkable data. For example, terms of endearment can hinder your sexuality; sharing everything including bathroom habits is not good for a relationship; there is evidence that couples need to argue more, not less.

Finally a sex self-help book that is revolutionary, humorous, easy-to-read and inspiring – with practical advice that gets to the core of why your sexual desire diminished in the first place and how to get it back easily and permanently.

Maggie Arana was in a sexless marriage for 10 years and her story gives her a unique personal insight on why The Roommate Syndrome is so common. A UCLA graduate in English Literature (summa cum laude), she has written for various publications throughout the years. She also has many years of experience in public relations. Arana is in a happy, long-term relationship and does not call her guy “honey.” She lives in Los Angeles.

Julienne Davis is an international model, singer/musician and actress, having played the pivotal role of Mandy Curran in Stanley Kubrick’s psychological thriller Eyes Wide Shut. Her career has enabled her to travel the world and live and work in many cities, from New York to London, Paris to Milan. Julienne and “non-honey” husband, a renowned English DJ and writer/journalist, live in Los Angeles in a midcentury modern home that they lovingly restored over a two-year period.
