Revolutionary New Guide to Thyroid Disease
Tucson, AZ – June 28, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of ThyroZone: Real Thyroid Solutions for Better Health and Better Living by John A. Robinson and Cristina Romero-Bosch. This book offers advice to those diagnosed with thyroid disease who want help beyond what they are receiving.
ThyroZone offers a revolutionary approach to thyroid disease, a disease that afflicts millions of people who are often left with no real solution to alleviate their pain and suffering. The truth is that the medical community has yet to understand the causes — or even the symptoms — of thyroid disease. This means patients have no strategy to address their disease or ways to optimize their health to provide any meaningful quality of living.
After years of development and experience, Dr. John Robinson and Dr. Cristina Bosch wrote ThyroZone to offer a medical solution to patients who are simply not being provided the answers they need and deserve about their thyroid and metabolism. The science-based ThyroZone system surpasses the typical advice and provides unique, practical instruction that offers real results. If you or a loved one have ever experienced a thyroid condition but have always been told the test results are “normal,” then this book is for you.

Do You Know Where Your Food Came From?
Tucson, AZ – July 3, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Spice Empire: The Arab Culinary Tradition in the West by William Ross Newland. This cookbook explores the history of Arabic cooking traditions and their spread to other parts of the globe.
Most people are blissfully unaware of the origins of their food, but not William Ross Newland.
Fascinated by culinary anthropology and having a chronic love affair with new flavors and textures, Newland travels the world discovering culinary wonders that often took centuries to matriculate through Arab conquest. His favorite? The street food and comfort food eaten by locals on a daily basis.
For Newland, food is much more than eating. It is about planning, cooking, and sharing. Food is the centerpiece while human interaction generated by the meal is the main event.
Follow this short narrative to some of Newland’s favorite recipes — flavors that began in the Fertile Crescent, spread throughout the Mediterranean during the Ottoman Empire, and went on to Spain and eventually Mexico. Enjoy!

New Release Offers Insight on Life and Faith
Tucson, AZ – August 16, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Faithbook: Faith Through the Love of God by Robert F. Moore. This book is the author’s response to the age-old question, “what is the meaning of life?” in a series of essays that communicate a powerful message.
Does your life need a boost?
Are you on the verge of giving up?
Do you feel lost and hopeless about the direction of your life?
The Bible says, “God is love” (1 John 4:16). The experience of God’s love will strengthen faith. In turn, fueled by the power of His love, one builds the necessary faith to stay the course.
Author Robert F. Moore meditated on the meaning of life for a year, and the result is Faithbook: Faith Through the Love of God. At its core, it’s an everyman journey seeking the answer to the question: Why am I here? His compact and deeply personal essays on topics like the nature of sin and the power of love reveal not only why it is important to read the Bible, but also how to do so.
Armed with the meaning behind biblical passages, readers will rediscover the Bible as a contemporary reference book for living, complete with the answers to questions they’re seeking. Faithbook is a call to action for the average person hungry for wisdom and open to an energized approach to faithful living.

Publisher Wheatmark Announces Release of Historical Fiction
Tucson, AZ – June 28, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Lady of the Road by Michael Sloan. This action-packed story follows heroine Zamora on her journey disguised as a highwayman.
A centuries-old secret lays buried and forgotten. An exquisite pendant contains an obscure record of the hidden location. A country road, long abandoned and overgrown, leads to a priceless treasure. And the connection between these elusive clues is grasped by a resolute highwayman who hides behind mask, sword, and pistol. But this feared “Gentleman of the Road” is actually a woman, Zamora Delevan. Considered her family’s poor, unremarkable cousin, she conceals a lethal skill. Her father Richard, one of the King’s most proficient military fencing masters, privately trained Zamora at his London studio until her expertise rivaled his own.
After Richard’s premature death in 1721, Zamora finds herself thrust into the world of rural aristocrats who exploit England for personal gain. In an effort to ensure justice, and to prevent the foreclosure of her family’s estate, Zamora — in the guise of a highwayman — embarks upon a dangerous journey where honor, love, and revenge are fulfilled at the point of a sword.

Publisher Wheatmark Announces Release of New Biography
Tucson, AZ – July 11, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Uncle Bill: The Life and Times of Wilmot Lenn Petersen, 1898-1991 by Marion Petersen Koedyker. This biography presents the reader with a unique perspective on life through personal stories, advice, and life lessons from the author’s great-uncle.
Wilmot Lenn Petersen—a.k.a. “Uncle Bill”—was a live-off-the-land eccentric, dressing strangely and growing all he needed to live among the wilds of Nevada and Arizona. During his ninety years of life, he was a cowboy, wrangler, entrepreneur, pilot, turquoise miner, and geologist. After three failed marriages, he remarried and joyfully lived the remainder of his days.
The irrepressibly outspoken Uncle Bill tells his own story as collected over the decades of taped interviews by his great-niece, author Marion Petersen Koedyker. As she writes, “My great-uncle Bill (born in 1898) used to tell me stories of his colorful life. One time during a visit I asked if I could tape record his stories. He agreed, but said, ‘It’ll be a mighty dull listen for anyone.’ Bill underestimated the impact his real-life stories had on the lives of other people. Some stories will make you laugh and some will make you cry. Some you will not believe and some you will have to reread.”
Full of his dry humor and unexpected life lessons, this nuanced portrait of Uncle Bill deals with sage and not-so-sage advice such as why leather on a dead body will disappear before the body is found, why it’s not always a good idea to protect a woman when her husband is beating her up, why a robbery may not be what it seems, and why it’s good to leave your mark at kill sites. No matter what the topic, Uncle Bill probably has a colorful story relating to it. This delightful book is a unique blend of an intensely personal oral history with an honest portrayal of a bygone generation.

Definitive Guide on Yogasana Now Available
Tucson, AZ – June 29, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of A 21st-Century Yogasanalia: Celebrating the Integration of Yoga, Science, and Medicine by Mel Robin. This new guide integrating Iyengar yoga with twenty years of modern scientific research spans over two-thousand pages and is available as an ebook only.
A 21st-Century Yogasanalia: Celebrating the Integration of Yoga, Science, and Medicine is a modern-day Yogasanalia combining different aspects of yoga, medicine, and science in a timely and important effort to benefit both East and West, yogic and medical science. It is a culmination of twenty years of modern scientific research, often carried out in areas far removed from yoga as we otherwise know it. Working to expand beyond the physical principles of yogasana practice, author Mel Robin first researched both the yoga literature and the medical sciences as completely as possible, starting in 1998, then began juxtapositioning the two sciences in this ebook for the benefit of its readers.

About the Author:
Beginning in elementary school, Mel Robin became enamored with gymnastics and went on to practice through his college years (1953–1956) at UCLA, earning All-America honors in his final two years. From there, he turned to his second favorite field of study, Chemical Physics, earning a PhD from the University of Washington (1957–1960); following this, he had a 28-year stint as a distinguished senior-scientist at Bell Telephone Laboratories (Murray Hill, New Jersey), where he focused on molecular-electronic structure, eventually publishing 104 refereed papers and three books.
Leaving Bell Labs at age 50, Mel combined the two fields of his life-long interests by seeking to understand the scientific aspects of Iyengar yoga, working with his first two Iyengar teachers, Judy Freedman and Theresa Rowland. His interest in Iyengar-yoga mechanics has continued for the past thirty-three years, resulting in two printed books, A Physiological Handbook for Teachers of Yogasana and A Handbook for Yogasana Teachers: The Incorporation of Neuroscience, Physiology, and Anatomy into the Practice.

Publisher Wheatmark Announces Release of New Autobiography
Tucson, AZ – June 29, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Home at Last by DeWitt Smith. This author tells her story of starting over and succeeding in this thought-provoking memoir.
“The left side of my brain knew I was shooting page one photos for next week’s edition of the paper, and the right side felt overwhelmed by the emotion of seeing my home about to go out to sea.”
Author Barbara DeWitt Smith had a colorful childhood — outrageous costume and cocktail parties, a revolving door of nannies because the alcoholic stepmother couldn’t keep help, and a household filled with the eccentricities unique to rich people. This was her normal. She and her four sisters grew up with social status, money, and privilege. However, hidden underneath it all was an invisible and disturbing reality — emotional neglect and abuse.
When Smith moves back to her family’s summer home on Nantucket Island, a brutal three-day nor’easter washes away the million-dollar property, and her and her sisters’ inheritance is lost at sea. So after a life spent with alcoholic and emotionally unavailable men — most notably her father — she suddenly finds herself starting over with nothing.
Home at Last is a compelling and insightful memoir illustrating the unique challenges adult children of alcoholics face in trying to break out of the damaging patterns of denial, self-loathing, and destructive romantic relationships — and shows how it is possible to successfully come out the other side through the wonders of therapy.

It’s About the Reader
When a book that we publish sells well, I always want to understand why, partly so that I can pass that information on to you. One book that’s been selling well lately is Farmer Able: A fable about servant leadership transforming organizations and people from the inside out by Art Barter. The book is an extended parable that teaches the lessons of servant leadership, the form of leadership in which leaders exist to serve the people they lead. It tells the story of a farmer named Able and his transformation from a typical all-about-me power-reliant head of farm and family to a true servant leader. The story is told from the perspective of both the humans and the animals on Able’s farm. Even the wind, plants, and Earth are characters in the story. The author very effectively uses anthropomorphism and onomatopoeia to create much of the humor. I found myself smiling frequently at short clever dialogues between chickens, cows, and pigs.
I recently spoke with the author to get his take on the strong book sales. Art said that, while he was happy that book sales were good, that was not his focus, because, for him the book is part of a larger mission, a mission to bring the message of servant leadership to organizations around the world.
In 2004 Art Barter purchased Datron World Communications, a small international radio manufacturer. Using a servant leadership philosophy and model he transformed the culture of the company so that it grew from $10 million in annual revenues to $200 million in just 6 years. Datron now donates a portion of its profits to charities chosen by its employees. The experience at Datron fueled Art’s passion for servant leadership and inspired him to found The Servant Leadership Institute to teach others how to implement servant leadership principles in their organizations. It also inspired him to write a book on servant leadership (Farmer Able) that would not just appeal to academics and management geeks, but to every reader who loves a good story.
One of the fundamental principles of servant leadership is that “it’s not about you,” the leader, but about the people you lead. Maybe the strong sales of Farmer Able are proof of this concept for book authors as well. If, like Art, you don’t focus on your book sales, but instead focus on the people you are trying to serve, your readers, then success will follow.
