Saturn’s Moon Press takes on SIX books by Bracha Goetz!


After contracting two of her precious picture books with Saturn’s Moon Press, Pick-A-Table and I Want To Be Famous!, Goetz pulled out six more to add to her list: God's Candy Store!, Coloring Friends, New Baby, Super Hero, What a Cardboard Box Can Do! and Where is God? Amazon Author Page - Bracha Goetz Published by Saturn’s Moon Press, www.kal-ba.com/smpress.html , an imprint of Cactus Moon Publications 
Represented by Loiacono Literary Agency www.llallc.net

Bracha Goetz is the Harvard-educated author of thirty children’s books, which have been primarily Jewish children’s picture books that encourage little ones to be the best they can be. To break into the Christian and secular book world, she added stories that would be broadly accepted and still hit the mark for empowering young minds to excel and to appreciate all they have.
“Children will devour the captivating rhymes and illustrations…and don’t be surprised if you soon find them beginning to devour their fruits and veggies, too!” — Bracha
She also coordinates a Big Brother Big Sister Program for Jewish Community Services in Baltimore, Maryland.
Her first published piece was a poem that appeared in McCall’s magazine when she won a Junior McCall’s contest as a twelve-year-old.  Years later, she was the editor of her high school paper, and later on, helped coordinate and contributed an essay to the anthology, Women Look at Biology Looking at Women, while at Harvard, which became a text for many women’s studies courses nationwide. She also has a chapter entitled “From Harvard to Homemaking” in new release from Coffeetown Press called Torn: True Stories of Kids, Career & the Conflict of Modern Motherhood.



Argus Publishing acquires Daniel Lorti’s novel The Avignon Legacy!

Argus Publishing acquires Daniel Lorti’s novel The Avignon Legacy!


The Avignon Legacy

When Pope Gregory XI abruptly decides to move the Papacy back to Rome in 1377, chaos and rebellion descends upon both Avignon and the Papal States in Italy.  The Rome-based Pope’s foes and critics are everywhere and any shipment of the papal treasury from Avignon to the Vatican is at risk. An ingenious location is devised by Sir Jean Termonde, a heroic knight, to secure the treasure from discovery until it can be transferred to Rome.
The papal treasure never arrived at the Vatican, and the legend of the lost gold and jewels has grown over the centuries.
Rare book dealer Jim Pierce’s expertise is in tracking down and retrieving old volumes coveted by well-heeled clients. He has little interest in the French Middle Ages until two armed thugs enter his bookstore demanding an ancient 14th century volume on the Avignon Papacy that mentions the Church’s treasury. They are killed thanks to Pierce’s precautionary measures.
When he receives an offer of $5 million from the legendary billionaire recluse John W. Baxter, to steal a 14thcentury volume from the Vatican Secret Archives, his interest is piqued leading him to wonder if Baxter wants the volume or if the contents are related to the treasure. So Pierce sets out to attempt two thefts: the volume from the Vatican, and the treasure from Avignon. That’s when he discovers the French and the British police are on Baxter’s heels who is, in turn, after him.

A writer of factual fiction, Daniel Lorti has written several works, The Avignon Legacy is his second novel. He is currently working on his third, a romantic thriller.
Lorti has a B.S.E. (summa cum laude) and an M.S.E from Arizona State University. An aerospace engineer with a military sensors, weapons, and intelligence background, he was Chief Radar Engineer for the Northrop Grumman Corporation for many years. In 1995, he was appointed to President Clinton’s twenty-member conference committee for Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland. As an international arms broker he conducted business in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In 2003, he and his partners sold a highly classified aerospace company to Northrop Grumman. He currently resides in Southern California. www.danielclorti.com
