Bradenton, FL, March 16, 2010 –(PR.com)– Artist and short story author, Lee Libro, releases her debut novel, “Swimming With Wings.”

About the Book (Excerpts Info):

Have you ever felt like you were out of your element living here on earth? Have you ever imagined that maybe you really had wings? In her first novel, Lee Libro, visual artist and author of short stories garnering nationwide appeal, brings you the story of Lark Jennison, a character facing just such a dilemma. “Swimming With Wings” is a blend of southern literature with a dash of mystery and paranormal romance.

“Swimming With Wings” follows the journey of three very different characters: a 19th century light healer; his grandson, a would-be superstar of the evangelical world of the 1970’s; and Lark Jennison, a free-thinking, orphaned artist with an eccentric imagination. Stemming from a shared tragedy from long ago, their stories convergence with a famous American sculpture residing in the Portland Museum of Art and the hidden secrets of a tumbledown plantation, ultimately releases a tale of human brotherhood and true spiritual love.

Perfect bound and expertly constructed at 286 pages, “Swimming With Wings” includes a Reading Group Guide aimed specifically at the book club market and is being further promoted to markets with a focus on the New Age and Literary Fiction categories. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes Noble, Baker Taylor, and online exposure through book blogs, book reviews, availability through the CreateSpace online store, the Association of Independent Authors store http://www.independent-authors.org, Amazon.com and more, “Swimming With Wings” meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $13.99 and $6.99, respectively.

Mornington, Australia, March 20, 2010 –(PR.com)– In recent times people throughout the globe have shown heightened interest in the events and individuals that shaped the history of the great Australian Nation. Australians have a keen interest in the stories of the past; a past that screams out to be heard through the voices of their forebears, white, black, rich and dirt poor, each with its own fascinating tale and certainty of righteousness.

“A Line Of Dogs” transports readers back to experience a fascinating part of Irish and Australian history through the eyes, minds and hearts of those who lived it. This romantic saga is set in the turbulent times of the mid nineteenth century, when major world powers fought for domination, racing to claim new lands and plundering all that they found. It is a gripping tale of the oppressed, dispossessed and a few who stood up for the cause of liberty and justice, interwoven with a story of enduring love and loyalty.

Through two continents and four countries, this fast paced novel of love, lust, rape, murder and intrigue is sure to get the pulse racing.

Tim McGrath has a passion for Ireland and a hatred of the English that form an explosive combination. He sees himself as a type of “Robin Hood,” taking from the ruling English classes to help the Irish poor, but somehow life rarely seems to go according to his plans.

Mary McGrath is a beautiful young girl, forced to leave a potato famine ravished Ireland to find refuge in England, only to be thrust into the middle of a nightmare of hatred, rape and despair. Life tosses her from one escapade to another but she is determined to find love and happiness. Can she succeed against a system that is determined to bring her down?

Queenie makes her living as a harlot in London’s red light district. She becomes Mary’s best friend, sharing the tribulations of being on the run from the law and the privations of prison life.

John Hammersley is a London rogue who makes his living mending shoes – and robbing houses. He has no altruistic motives, simply figuring that some people can afford to lose a little in order to help him a lot.

Wurrindi has survived the genocide of his people and yearns to pass on the heritage that threatens to die with him.

These characters and many more are thrown together in a series of events that lead inexorably toward an exciting climax.

Milwaukee, WI, March 24, 2010 –(PR.com)– After an intense competition across Southeast Wisconsin, Vibrant Graphics prevailed as one of the BizTimes Milwaukee Innovation Quotient (IQ) Awards winners for 2010.

The contest called for businesses throughout the region to nominate an innovative product or service that they have developed, and the awards honor these trend-setting Wisconsin companies. Over the past year, the team at Vibrant has spent considerable time and effort perfecting a new in-mold labeling process, which involves digitally printing labels on thin, unsupported films and laminating for ultimate protection. This application was the first to be used in the nation, and quickly implemented by several large injection molding companies. It gives in-mold labels a new level of functionality and overall appeal. BizTimes Milwaukee recognized the company’s innovative work, awarding them with one of ten honors for this year.

“Vibrant Graphics is pleased to be a winner of the Biz Times IQ Award for innovation,” said Mike Sewart, president of Vibrant Graphics. “This award is emblematic of the Vibrant Graphics culture of embracing new ideas, as well as the quality that is evident in our people and the products supplied to our valued clients.”

Vibrant Graphics will be featured with other award-winners in an upcoming edition of BizTimes Milwaukee, a popular, widely circulated small business magazine. The company will formally receive recognition at an awards luncheon on April 29 at the sixth annual BizTech Conference Expo, held at Wisconsin State Fair Park. The BizTech Conference Expo is the largest business-to-business conference in the state.
