Kwaw is currently seeking a literary agent for his novel.

In the novel, a temple in New York City belonging to a secretive little-known Order called the Knights of Osiris is burgled and a casket reputed to contain an ancient sacred Key — the Christos Key; but in reality a decoy casket, is stolen. The only clues left by the burglar are the mangled body of a murdered catholic priest, and the cryptic Latin phrase, laudate jesu christi that the burglar spray paints on the walls and altar of the temple. Who is the mysterious catholic priest found murdered on the premises of a purportedly pagan organization, and what was he doing there?

NYPD veteran Lieutenant James Jackson, who is charged with investigating the murder of the catholic priest, and his estranged daughter, Stephanie Wilson, an investigative reporter and friend of the murdered priest who comes into possession of the murdered priest’s journal, must shelve their differences and embark on a quest to obtain answers. They soon find themselves entangled in a chilling web of international subterfuge, conspiracy, and terror, spun by extremist elements at the Vatican, a fanatical doomsday cult leader, intelligence agencies, and a terrorist cabal. Each group seeks to possess The Christos Key for reasons that have to do with wielding power.

While The Christos Key is a work of fiction, author Edmund Kwaw draws from remarkable theories that, if true, could potentially rock the core of Christianity, and pre-conceived notions of world religions. A controversial and well-researched thriller, The Christos Key is a masterful blend of ancient mystical secret, religious conspiracy and thrilling adventure. It is sure to intrigue and captivate readers.

Archaeological thievery is becoming more and more of a problem every year but Utah’s vandalism is the worst in the country. Theft at the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona is still a big problem. The damage to these sites is estimated at almost $42,000 in two year’s time. An ancient funeral pit can be sold for as high as sixty thousand dollars on the black market, not to mention pottery, baskets, and pendants found by looters.

An article in the Associated Press said, “Two dozen people were indicted Wednesday after a sweeping undercover investigation into ancient artifacts stolen from public and tribal lands in the Four Corners area.” (Associated Press, Mike Stark, June 11, 2009)

There were around 300 federal agents that were involved in the arrest of both men and women from ages twenty-seven to seventy-eight. They were all part of an underground network. In fact, archaeological theft has gone corporate. They even pay rent on private property in order to dig without being caught. Unfortunately there is no law to prevent digging on private property.

An article in the Las Vegas Sun Newspaper was published about a couple men who were loading some artifacts in the trunk of their car. A ranger saw what they were doing and questioned them, not realizing he had accidentally stumbled upon the largest operation around. The article said they recovered more than 11,100 relics.

Did you know that people are actually selling shards and arrowheads on websites? The Anasazi culture is being sold to the highest bidder. Is there anything that can be done to protect America’s past?

This subject was so intriguing to Author Linda Weaver Clarke that she sat down and began writing. Her new mystery series surrounds the theft of artifacts. In Anasazi Intrigue, it all begins with a devastating flood, which takes out several homes in a small town in southern Utah. Julia Evans, the town’s newest reporter, is shocked by the news of a poison spill that kills many of the fish and neighbor’s pets. Intrigued, she jumps into action and begins her investigation. Quickly though, Julia realizes the story and investigation are much bigger and more dangerous than she thought! Julia and her husband find themselves on the run trying to save their lives while finishing the story of a lifetime. She never realized that being a reporter could be so dangerous. With artifacts, dead fish, a devastating flood, and miscreants, John and Julia have their hands full.

The Evans are not the ordinary couple. Together they investigate and solve crimes. You laugh at the humor and sigh at the romance. Just sprinkle in three grown daughters, and you have quite a mixture. This novel has good values along with a little suspense and adventure. The John and Julia Evans mystery series includes Anasazi Intrigue, Mayan Intrigue, and Montezuma Intrigue.

About the Author

Linda Weaver Clarke travels throughout the United States, teaching a “Family Legacy Workshop,” encouraging others to write their family history and autobiography. Clarke is the author of the historical fiction series, “A Family Saga in Bear Lake, Idaho,” and the new mystery series, “The Adventures of John and Julia Evans.”

“Anasazi Intrigue” (ISBN-13: 978-1-58982-587-1, American Book Publishing, 2010) can be purchased through local and online bookstores. For more information, visit www.lindaweaverclarke.com. Publicity contact: www.american-book.com.

When a devastating flood wipes out homes in a small town, residents are shocked by the news of a possible poison spill that also kills many of the fish and neighbor’s pets. The people don’t know what to think or do, until Julia, the town’s newest reporter, jumps into action and begins her investigation. Quickly Julia realizes the story is much bigger and more dangerous than she thought. As information unfolds, Julia and her husband find themselves on the run, trying to save their lives while finishing the story of a lifetime. She never realized that being a reporter could be so dangerous. With artifacts, dead fish, a devastating flood, and miscreants, John and Julia have their hands full.

In “Anasazi Intrigue” (ISBN: 978-1-58982-587-1), Clarke creates a story based upon an independent, educated, and strong woman character. Suko’s Notebook Reviews said of Clarke’s writing: “Linda Weaver Clarke is outstanding at presenting the characters’ thoughts.”

There are two subjects discussed in this novel: The Santa Clara/Virgin River Flood and stolen artifacts. The mystery of the Anasazi Indians boggles the minds of many archaeologists. Ancient dwellings, petroglyphs, and pottery found in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico are fantastic and part of Anasazi history. When an ancient ruin is discovered, it doesn’t take long for thieves to take it apart. Archaeological thievery is becoming more and more of a problem every year.

The second subject brings out what really happened during the flooding in southern Utah. Lost homes can be replaced, but it’s impossible to replace precious treasures that had no value to anyone but the owner, such as photos and memories of the past. The stories of hope, charity, and little miracles seem to uplift others and have a wonderful effect on people during a crisis such as this. Clarke’s novel brings out what really happened in St George, Utah but the mystery is just beginning.

Every little gesture towards achieving a purpose requires a little bit of inspiration. We believe that you can make a difference with every penny you donate. Together, we can create a credible global campaign that will give us all the chance to make a difference to the lives of people who crave for it. Said the Solo rider (Wissam Al-Jayyoussi)

From the provision of basic education to unprivileged children in Gaza to ensuring medical aid to those mutilated by war, we are certain we can garner enough funds to bring a smile to crestfallen faces in Palestine. We solicit your assistance by way of funds to help us mobilise the resources we need all the donation are transparent and online and the contributors can track the utilization of the funds. We have launched our Donation page which through our sponsor Hope & Playwww.hopeandplay.org added (Al-Jayyoussi)

We are a group of like-minded people from all over the globe who organise fund-raising initiatives to help people torn by war, famine and other perils. This time, our endeavours are leading us on a road trip from Dubai, UAE to the United Kingdome using a motorcycles ridden by a solo rider.

It is all about the challenges, about being different and exploring the boundaries of what’s possible. The Goodwill Journey series takes these ideals to the next level and features some of the toughest challenges. This year, the focus is on rehabilitating physically challenged children in Gaza. They are planning to spread the awareness and raise the funds to build a dedicated school for them, ensuring they have the right equipment, facilities and resources. This edition of the Goodwill Journey is taking them on a road trip from Dubai to London on a motorbike starting in the first week of June 2010.

We will travel 40,000 km across the Middle East and Europe, touching base in 36 major capitals over a period of 59 days en route to the UK with the hope to raise a million dollars. The journey was flagged off in Dubai, Oman, and across into Iran, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and finally into the UK. the progress of the trip has been online and is updated live and will be in real time throughout the trip on http://gwj.sekurusintl.com

The Charity:

Hope and Play abhor the denial of human rights from children of all national, ethnic or religious origin. We especially abhor these when man-made, such as through acts of physical or psychological violence. In Gaza, the Israeli government’s actions of occupation, blockade, and the full military assault of December 2008 and January 2009 without due attention to protecting civilians has left the local population facing a humanitarian crisis. As a result of these actions, Gaza’s children have been subjected to the following:

•           Child deaths, with over 400 to date.

•           Children traumatised because of the incessant bombardment and because of the horrific sights they are subjected to in terms of death, mutilation and dismemberment;

•           Child injuries, including as a direct or indirect result of bombardment and of the Israeli army’s use of phosphorous;

•           Displacement, as homes are destroyed;

•           Deaths of relatives, making many children orphans;

•           Unnecessary deaths due to lack of medication for sick children;

•           Destruction of the education infrastructure, including schools, colleges, universities and the ministry of education;

•           Creation of a sense of hopelessness as children see that their parents are unable to defend them, and that wherever and whatever they do, there is no escape from Israel’s bombardments;

•           Increased infant mortality as mothers are unable to get to hospitals for delivery.

This comes following the Israeli and Egyptian blockades of Gaza, which are still ongoing and are preventing the entry of essential supplies into Gaza.

Manyof us have been working on the perfect grab bag for some time, and more recently many more people have decided that they need one too and have begun thinking about which bag, what to put in it and then, where to get it . The Survival info e book ‘The Grab Bag’ is absolutely free and discusses general items of essential survival kit that will help you survive independently in an emergency situation, or just prepare you for when you need to take time out camping  in the countryside, or venture out to test your metal in the wilderness. The Survival Info e book  ‘The Grab Bag’ is not a catalogue, and therefore does not mention specific products by manufacturers name , but a more general guide to what’s needed. For more specific survival kit reviews you can visit our website survivalinfo.co.uk, which is gradually filling up with survival product reviews. Is it us, or are there really just not enough hours in the day?

Unlike other relationship books, this one saves the reader time by asking three easy questions to determine the reader’s particular problem.  Instead of reading long chapters to find one useful bit of advice, the reader simply answers these three questions and is then directed to a special page for individualized guidance.  Rather than having 10 books about 10 different types of problems, this one book offers guidance for the reader’s own problems, her sister’s problems, and her friends’ love problems, too.

“I wrote this because I am a consummate matchmaker and romantic.  Whenever I catch up with a friend, I always want to know about how their relationship is going, or who they’re interested in,” says Wright.  “By writing this book, I was able to vicariously listen to the problems of my readers, and give advice to multiple people in one shot.”

“I got the idea one day when I wished that I could just open a book and it could solve all of my problems.  I am an obsessive ‘googler’, so I wanted a book that was ‘google-esque’ in nature; sort of a catch-all for problem resolution.  It was obviously impossible to solve all of life’s problems in one book, so I started with one of my areas of passion: romance.”

Instant Love Advice is mostly geared towards young women in their early 20’s who are not yet fully seasoned in the ups and downs of love.  Wright strives to lead these ladies into rich, fulfilling relationships by encouraging them to have a clear sense of self and an awareness of the root of their problems.

Instant Love Advice for Women can be ordered directly through the author, Lisa Wright, 9 Aspetuck Village, New Milford, CT  06776; e-mail lisa [at symbol] instantloveadvice[dot]com.  The 156-page book is $12.95 plus $3.99 shipping and handling.  For more details visit: www.instantloveadvice.com.  Wright also has a write-in advice column at: www.relationshipper.blogspot.com.

The plight of black males in America is disturbing. Nationally, young black males account for 56% of juvenile drug offenders in residential placement. In fact, black males lead about every negative performance indicator, such as school drop out and unemployment rates nationally. Dr. Green and Mr. Jenkins are co-authors of the book, A Call to Destiny: How to Create Effective Ways to Assist Black Boys in America; this book seeks to provide ways for parents, educators, and supporters to assist these boys in their positive development.

The authors track what happens to young black boys in America. Mr. Jenkins argues, “With unemployment, racism, drug use, illiteracy, dysfunctional family structure, lack of positive role models, and prison incarceration on the rise, there is a dire need for workshops and conferences that address the issues confronting our male youth.” In the book, there are over 70 strategies to assist young males in achieving more productive lives. Dr. Green adds, “Without any intervention, young black boys, regardless of their social class, will not survive in the 21st century.” Dr. Green believes in building leadership. He discusses this concept with new leaders on his blog, NuLeadership Revolution. This book helps build future leaders. Proceeds from the e-book version go toward the UUNIK Academy to better assist these young boys.

Both authors are community-focused and results-oriented. Dr. Green is a nationally recognized lecturer and author of several books. He is an adjunct professor at Lincoln Memorial University (Tennessee) as well as a senior engineer for the Department of Energy. Mr. Jenkins is the founder and executive director of UUNIK Academy, a rites of passage program dedicated to holistic development of young males between the ages of 10-15. Mr. Jenkins is also a graduate of University of Tennessee (Knoxville) where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a minor in Statistics. They lecture about the perplexing conditions of black males and offers practical solutions for parents, educators, and communities.

The authors are available for media interviews as well as speaking to businesses, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and local communities in better addressing the needs of young black males. For more information, please contact Reggie Jenkins at 865-384-4475.

Lloyd, and published by Jolly Learning Limited.  The Jolly Phonics Workbook supports the reading scheme that many children learn in schools, and its popularity is testament to how keen British parents are to support their children’s education.

In second place, is the eternally popular children’s book by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar; and third on the list is Pig Gets Stuck by Heather Amery and Stephen Cartwright.

All of the books in the top ten were purchased cheaper on the PriceMinister.co.uk website than the recommended retail price. In fact, someone buying all of the books in the top ten at PriceMinister would save a total of £20.25 compared to the publishers’ recommended prices.
