Best-Selling Author Peter Thomas Senese Uses Proceeds from Latest Novel to Reunite Abducted Children with Their Families

January 27th, 2012 · Homes


New York, NY / Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Pacifica TWST and Peter Thomas Senese are pleased to announce the exclusive Amazon E-book release of “Chasing the Cyclone” that is being hailed by numerous Amazon’s Hall of Fame book reviewers and readers everywhere as a fast paced suspense thriller wrapped within the ultimate love story between a father and his son. Inspired by the best-selling author’s harrowing experience of racing into the dark and dangerous storms of having a child internationally abducted to the other side of the world, and a father’s willingness to stop everything in his life to fight incredible odds to find and reunite with him, critics and readers alike calling “Chasing the Cyclone” by Peter Thomas Senese the ultimate love story that every loving parent should read.

The highly anticipated novel book critics and child advocates are praising is being hailed as a heart-pounding legal thriller with a purpose as the story’s plot line not only provides great and much needed insight into the growing global problem of international child abduction that targets hundreds of thousands of North American children alone each year according to Senese’s previously published resource guide on abduction titled “The World Turned Upside Down,” but it is being hailed as a must read book for every at-risk parent of abduction.

The electrifying novel that darts around the world that has caused more than a few e-book readers to toss their reading device due to Senese’s story and ability to enrapture the reader as if they are one with the story’s main protagonist, Paul Francesco, has been called by many as a unique novel with potential epic social ramifications. Senese’s thriller has been called a call-to-arms against child abduction, while proceeds from the novel have been used to help build a large pro bono attorney network of lawyers willing to assist parents who have children targeted for abduction, as Peter Thomas Senese has made significant donations to the I CARE Foundation, something he has pledged to continue to do.

“Chasing the Cyclone” is presently available exclusively in E-book on Amazon until February, when the novel will be released worldwide in hardcover. Peter Thomas Senese, who is the founding director of the I CARE Foundation, a not-for-profit organization created to help prevent international child abduction, is donating 100% of his author royalties to the foundation that remarkably reunited 4 different families with their abducted children. Mr. Senese commented, “When I was ‘Chasing the Cyclone’ of child abduction, I made a promise to my God that one day I would come back to this fight, and make a difference for other children and their parents. In donating my royalties to the I CARE Foundation, we were able to help reunite children who were criminally abducted with their families. So in this sense, I suppose, readers of my novels have a direct and measurable way to participate in helping children.”

Peter Thomas Senese commented, “‘Chasing the Cyclone’ is the story of the greatest type of love of all: the love and commitment a parent holds for their child. Imagine having a complete life, filled with all the niceties you can imagine, when suddenly your defenseless child is used in the most unthinkable of schemes intended to cause you great hurt, and is criminally abducted to some unknown place on the other side of the world. Now imagine that the only thing that stands between bringing your child home or having your child lost forever, is you and your willingness to face the ultimate sacrifice. Well, that is what happens when a parent finds themselves “Chasing the Cyclone” of international child abduction.

Amazon’s renowned Hall of Fame reviewers are praising Senese’s international legal thriller “Chasing the Cyclone” as an electrifying love story fans of high suspense thrillers should read. “Chasing the Cyclone,” presently available exclusively as an E-book on Amazon in E-book, is a heart-pounding story of father’s search for his internationally abducted child inspired by the author’s own experience chasing the cyclones of abduction.

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Daniel Jolley commented, “‘Chasing the Cyclone’ isn’t just a powerful novel; it’s a call to arms against a growing epidemic that is tearing lives apart behind the headlines… ‘Chasing the Cyclone’ is much more than just a superb, can’t-put-down novel, though; it is a book with a purpose… Peter Thomas Senese has become an outspoken advocate on this issue, and ‘Chasing the Cyclone’ makes for a clear and profoundly effective call to action. I would go so far as to encourage every loving parent to read this book, as the bond between this father and son is one to be emulated…”

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Harriett Klausner added, “This is an exciting cautionary thriller that grips readers from the onset . . . “Chasing the Cyclone” will shake the audience, this exciting cautionary thriller grips readers from the onset…”

Dr. Grady Harp, a highly respected Amazon Hall Of Fame book reviewer said, “Peter Thomas Senese now opens the windows on the magnitude of these tragedies in his excellent “Chasing the Cyclone”… As if the fast paced energy of this story weren’t enough to satisfy the reader, Peter Thomas Senese demonstrates his quality as a writer of distinction on many levels… this impossible to put down book…”

Peter Thomas Senese added, “When I think of ‘Chasing the Cyclone’, I think of the ultimate and unbowed love a father has for his child. Granted, the circumstances of the story’s main character Paul Francesco finds himself in are unthinkable and may make no sense . . . unless of course, you are a parent who knows abduction, thus, this is a legal thriller of immeasurable proportions, however, for me . . . and based upon my own experiences, “Chasing the Cyclone” is the ultimate love story between a parent and their child.”

Peter Thomas Senese is also donating all author royalties generated from e-book sales of “The Den of the Assassin” and “Cloning Christ” to the I CARE Foundation. The author has been extensively involved in various state and federal legislative initiatives created or implemented to stop child abduction, while also publishing extensive research reports, essays, and books on child abduction prevention. “Chasing Parents: Racing Into The Storms Of International Parental Child Abduction” produced and narrated by Peter Thomas Senese is an extensive educational documentary film series of international child abduction that has been widely distributed worldwide.

Top Mesothelioma Law Firm Adds Better Brakes Rule to Website

January 27th, 2012 · Homes


(PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Clapper Patti Schweizer & Mason are mesothelioma attorneys who, for more than 30 years, have been representing professional and home mechanics who have been injured by automotive products containing asbestos. Having seen the devastation a diagnosis of mesothelioma causes to mechanics and their families, CPSM aims to provide the latest rules and regulations that can help prevent exposure and protect those in the industry from asbestos related diseases.

CPSM has updated the section on their website devoted to auto mechanics and clutch and brake repair workers, adding all the essential information about the Better Brakes Rule, a recently passed law in Washington that applies to the automotive industry.

While the use of asbestos was becoming more and more regulated in the United States in the mid to late 1980?s, asbestos continued to be added to brakes and clutches long past this time. The risk of exposure to mechanics remains high as millions of older model cars contain asbestos parts and asbestos clutch linings, brake pads and shoes can still be found in the aftermarket. This puts professional as well as home mechanics at risk of deadly exposure which decades later can develop into serious asbestos related diseases.

The Better Brakes Rule, overseen by the Department of Ecology (Ecology) seeks to reduce the risk of exposure to toxic materials to not only protect human health but also that of the environment. Contamination occurs when repairing or removing asbestos products as well as in the general wear and tear that causes break down of parts, leaving deposits of toxic materials on roadways that eventually end up in streams, rivers and water sources.

To prevent this, the basic provisions of the Better Brakes Rule, according to Ecology, are:

January 26th, 2012 · Homes


(PRWEB) January 24, 2012

The Website Design Group has a reputation for delivering creative and functional websites to its clients, regardless of their business type, size, or budget. In announcing its focus on website design with online booking, the company has identified a growing trend worldwide: for traditionally offline businesses to have a presence where their clients are looking for them – on the internet.

The special features that Website Design Group is able to incorporate into its clients? sites have seen the company carve out a specialist niche for restaurant web design and salon website design – in fact, any business needing website design with online booking functionality.

?A growing number of smart offline business owners have recognized the immense difference that an online booking function can make to their business,? said Website Design Group?s Colleen Stolford.

She continued, ?They know that their ability to take physical bookings is limited to a certain number of hours each week. But having an online bookings or reservations system on their website means they can be accepting reservations and appointments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.?

Today?s Consumers Seek Instant Gratification

?Modern consumers are no longer restricted to ?business hours? – they expect to be able to purchase or make a booking at any time of the day or night,? said Ms Stolford. ?Leaving a recorded message is not an option for them.?

Improved Lifestyle For Small Business Owners

Ms Stolford believes that having a website design with online booking capabilities will also improve the home life of small business owners.

?Many of our restaurant web design and salon website design clients previously diverted their business phones to their mobile or home numbers outside of business hours so they didn?t miss a reservation,? she said. ?Now they let their websites do the work, and keep personal time just that – personal.?

While continuing to provide premium creative websites for all business types, Website Design Group?s focus on those clients needing website design with online booking functionality will allow them to cater to the specific needs of this group.

Terry Burkot Promotes Vital Reason Short Sales in New Tampa & Wesley Chapel FL Must Start Now

January 25th, 2012 · Homes


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

Veteran realtor and house short sales expert, Terry Burkot explains the vital reason why anyone considering short sales in New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Tampa Bay, FL, needs to start now. That reason, unknown by many home owners already frustrated and facing a short sale or foreclosure, is that the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 which was extended through 2012 currently ends this December 31st of this year.

A short sale, also known as ?pre-foreclosure? allows the seller to sell a property even though the net proceeds are not enough to cover the principle balance on the mortgage. It can be a winning scenario for all parties involved: Buyers usually pay under market value for the house but should allow extra time for acceptance as banks may not move fast waiting for all offers and it may take extra time to close. The seller does well because they are able to rid themselves of a house that would have likely gone into foreclosure. The banks are in favor of it because they would rather sell a house and take a small loss now rather than the house go into foreclosure and take a big loss down the road.

On a campaign to educate homeowners and help them through this difficult and very detailed process Terry explains, ?It works like this ? lenders of house short sales, foreclosures or debt reconstruction are usually required to report the amount of the canceled debt to the person and the IRS on a Form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt and it is treated like income by the IRS. One then pays the taxes on that amount.?

Per this IRS link http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=179414,00.html, ?The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a foreclosure may qualify for the relief.?

A very simplified example is: ?You borrow $ 100,000 and default on the loan after paying back $ 20,000. If the lender is unable to collect the remaining debt from you, there is a cancellation of debt of $ 80,000, which generally is taxable income to you. If you qualify, the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 excludes this amount and tax is not owed on it.?

?Currently, The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 expires December 31, 2012. This means that homeowners considering short sales in New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Tampa Bay, FL need to start the process now and close on the sale by December 31, 2012 to take advantage of the debt forgiveness. If they wait until next year, they could face a large tax bill from the IRS,? says Burkot.

The short sale process is typically a lengthy emotional ordeal that can take many months to close making the 2012 deadline critical to starting the process now. Terry has streamlined the process and is effective at the closing short sales she lists.

About Terry Burkot, P.A.

Terry Burkot, P.A., entered the local real estate market in 2003 and is now with Future Home Realty in New Tampa, FL. When starting, Terry listed house short sales in New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Tampa Bay, FL in 2003. Terry quickly became a Short Sale specialist with the experience necessary to take a buyer and seller through the short sale process. Her motto is, ?I don?t work from 9-5, I work from start to finish.? Highly involved in her community, she is an alumnus of the University of South Florida and a regular donor to local charities and church.

Evers & Co. Real Estate Continues to Grow Market Share in Greater Washington, DC in 2011

January 25th, 2012 · Homes

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) January 21, 2012

Evers & Co. had a particularly strong year in 2011 in metropolitan Washington, D.C.?s neighborhoods within the Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Northwest Washington, D.C. zip codes of 20814, 20815, 20816, 20187, 20015 and 20016.

The year ended in Washington, D.C. with average home prices down 11.3 percent when compared to 2010, but better than November, which numbers came in 13.72 percent lower than the previous year, and October figures were down by 22.8 percent.* The average home sale price also fell into negative numbers this fall, but improved slightly with December?s average being only 4.3 percent lower, year over year.

?The New Year is ringing in optimism,? commented Donna Evers, Evers & Co. President and Broker. ?My firm?s agents are already seeing signs that the close-in neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. will remain strong with robust sales early on in 2012, and continue to build with activity as we get beyond the winter months.?

Evers also believes the housing market should continue to improve as more homes come back on the market. Inventory levels are low and very little new home construction has come on the market the last six years.

?Low interest rates and consumer confidence should build into the spring and create a very competitive marketplace for properties that are priced correctly and show well.?


Statistics are taken from the Metropolitan Regional Information System for three areas: Washington, D.C.; Montgomery County in Maryland; and Fairfax County, Arlington, Alexandria and Falls Church in Virginia.

About Evers & Co.

Founded in 1985 by Donna Evers, Evers & Co. Real Estate maintains its success through a strong referral base and agents who enjoy a premier reputation for their expertise and in-depth knowledge of Washington Metro Area homes and neighborhoods.

January 24th, 2012 · Homes


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Express Working Capital, a merchant cash advance company based in Dallas, is pleased to announce that they donated $ 1,000 to Dress for Success Dallas, a company striving to empower disadvantaged women with professional attire and a network of support.

?We feel Dress for Success is a great organization with a great cause,? said Brad Woy, CEO of Express Working Capital. ?They help women thrive in work and life, while we help small and midsize businesses thrive in a tough economic climate.?

Express Working Capital is most known for its business cash advance solution called Convenience Capital?. Money is advanced and repaid through a very simple process so businesses can receive a much-needed merchant cash advance without the snowball effect caused by many other loans that leads to overwhelming debt.

Those participating in the Convenience Capital? program pay EWC a percentage of future credit cards sales at a discount rate to gradually pay back the money they borrowed. Collection automatically stops when the full amount is repaid, and the business moves on to a profitable future made possible by EWC?s merchant cash advance option.

Thanks to the generous donation made by Express Working Capital, and their ongoing commitment to help businesses get the boost they need, EWC is fueling the economy in more ways than one. Learn more by visiting Express Working Capital on Facebook.

ABOUT EXPRESS WORKING CAPITAL:

Express Working Capital is a leading provider of Merchant Cash Advances to small and midsize businesses throughout the United States. Based in Irving, Texas, EWC offers its advance program to deserving but under-served businesses without the time, documentation and lengthy approval processes typically associated with a traditional bank loan.

EWC invests in businesses by purchasing a portion of their future credit card sales at a discount in exchange for a lump sum of capital. By allowing businesses to leverage their future sales as an asset, EWC helps business owners access capital quickly and easily without collateralizing their homes or other personal assets. As these businesses realize their future credit card sales, EWC takes a percentage of these sales as repayment on the capital it has invested in the business. Owners use these funds to renovate, purchase new equipment and inventory, fund advertising, open new business locations and manage unexpected business expenses.

Austin Home Search Experts at Regent Property Group Compare Austin?s 2011 Real Estate Market to Pre-Recession Market

January 24th, 2012 · Homes


Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Austin real estate market statistics have been published online by luxury home leader Regent Property Group, with good news to share in a still slumped economy. Austin has been ranked one of the best cities in the US to live in, a title bestowed because of jobs, earnings, performance, and overall enjoyability.

Austin?s single-family housing market improved in 2011 over 2010, with an 8.5% increase in the number of single-family homes sold and a 1.4% increase in the median sold price. Austin showed even better statistics during December 2011 compared to December 2010 with an 8.7% increase in the median sold price, 13.5% decrease in the time it took to sell, and a 9.6% increase in homes pending sale. When comparing the year 2011 with the year 2007 ? just before the recession took a hit on the housing market in Austin ? sold prices were up 5.3%, with the number of homes sold down 19.7% in 2011 compared to 2007. For Austinites, this means prices and sales volume are improving in Austin while the number of homes sold is still quite a bit lower than the peak of the market in 2007.

Regent Property Group also provides an assessment of the relationship between the Austin job market and the housing market, noting that job growth has contributed to the improving market in Austin. The Austin unemployment rate during November 2011 showed a significant decrease from the previous year at 6.6% compared to 7.1% in November 2010.

In terms of home sales, there were 8,693 single-family homes sold within the Austin city limits with a median sold price of $ 119.51 per square foot (248,500) and averaging 71 days on the market. During 2010, there were 8,011 homes sold with a median sold price of $ 120 per square foot ($ 245,000), and averaging 67 days on the market. During 2007, there were 10,831 homes sold with a median sold price of $ 120.03 per square foot ($ 236,000), and averaging 47 days on the market.

?There?s a reason Austin has been voted a best place to live by numerous sources,? said Regent agent Brian Talley. ?The city?s prospects are nothing but bright, and I like being able to share that news with anyone interested in moving here or starting an Austin home search.?

About Regent Property Group:

Brian Talley is the founder of Regent Property Group. During 2011, Brian was the #11 top selling agent (#9 if including off-MLS properties) for total dollar volume sold out of over 5,000 REALTORS
