Vietnam Veteran Ensures Support of Seriously Wounded War Vets from Iraq and Afghanistan
June 3, 2012 By
Bardonia, New York (PRWEB) May 18, 2012
Barry Fixler, Vietnam Khe Sahn Marine Veteran and Author of the book “Semper Cool” is assisting returning veterans who are coming home severely wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan. Through the sales of his book, Mr. Fixler decided to open the Fixler Foundation and give back to the country. 100% of the money raised from the book is given back to troops through his foundation.
This is Americas book, Fixler said. My experiences in Vietnam are in this book and that makes it sacred to me. It wouldnt be right to make money on it. Fixler has been across the country helping troops and giving back. He has set a goal of raising at least 10 million dollars. He’s helped families offset expenses for caring for their severely wounded warrior.
“Barry was responsible for helping us get our son home and getting our home ready for our son,” said Chris Ryan, father of Sgt Eddie Ryan a Marine Corps Sniper who was shot twice in the head during an attack in Iraq. “Barry, through his foundation got our son home. We will always be grateful.”
In Semper Cool: One Marines Fond Memories of Vietnam, Fixler recounts in vivid detail how the Marine Corps and the horrors of war transformed a mischief-making, well-off Long Island kid into a battle-hardened man and a patriot. Fixler also relives the 2005 shootout in his Bardonia, N.Y., jewelry store that captured national attention. Barry has been seen on 20/20, MSNBC and Imus has said that Barry Fixler is “a great example for everybody on this planet.”
Fixler continues to give back and next week as Memorial Day events kick off, Fixler will be joined by Sgt. Eddie Ryan as they toss out the first pitch at the Rockland County Boulders game. For more information about the fixer foundation log on to http://www.fixlerfoundation.org
Re-Release of Novel Marks the 91st Anniversary of the Tulsa Race Riot — Veteran Novelist, Norma Jean Lutz Announces the Ee-release of Tulsa Tempest
May 26, 2012 By
Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) May 26, 2012
Re-release of novel marks the 91st anniversary of the Tulsa Race Riot.
By the time the violence ceased, the state’s second-largest African American community had been burned to the ground.
Building on that historical event veteran novelist, Norma Jean Lutz, authored a four-title series:
Tulsa Tempest
Tulsa Turning
Tulsa Trespass
Return to Tulsa
The series was first published by Barbour Publishing, of Uhrichsville, OH, a standard in the Christian publishing industry.
Tulsa Tempest relates the experiences of a young country girl, Tessa Jurgen, who comes to the big city of Tulsa to serve as governess to the children of an oil baron. She is unwittingly thrown into the midst of a simmering cauldron of racial tension.
The first release of Tulsa Tempest, saw many positive reviews, one of which stated:
Ms. Lutz does an excellent job in revealing the true emotions of the characters and even those who are downright nasty in the storyline. I found the whole ambience of the story most believable in every way. Indeed a read was engaging for this reader. ~ Coffee Time Romance
Researching story material in my own home town of Tulsa was pure joy, says Norma Jean, veteran author of over 50 published titles. The story of Tessa Jurgen is timeless. Many satisfied readers loved Tessa when the books were first published in the 90s; Im confident a new legion of readers will feel the same way.
The re-release of Tulsa Tempest is slated for June, 2012.

Eastern Shore, DE (PRWEB) February 20, 2012
Author and eBay Power Sellers Norb and Marie Novocin finally released the long awaited tales of their successes and adventures, “Getting Sold On eBay: The Treasure Hunter’s Guide To Making Money.” The book contains over 200 pages of the real life experiences of the Novocin family team. “This book was written to help both the experienced and non-experienced sellers on eBay. It puts our real eBay experiences, good and bad, in the hands of the reader. As you can imagine selling over 36,000 unique items over the past fourteen years has provided page after page of valuable information that will put anyone serious about making money on eBay on the track to success,” says author Norb Novocin. He goes on to say, In todays economy, the income that folks can derive from a home based business can make all the difference in the world. Helping another familys business become a profitable success is an excitement unlike any other.
Through the years, Norb & Marie have shared their exciting Treasure Tales amazing their many friends, family and others. It wasnt long before these folks and even people they had never met face to face, such as eBay clients and others, who followed their auctions encouraged them to write a book and share the secrets of their success. Now those secrets are revealed in this fun and easy to read guide.
“We have worked on this book for over two years. It’s packed with full color photos of actual items we’ve bought and then sold on eBay. We specialize in antiques, collectibles, rare items and we love those one of a kind, quirky, unusual never before seen finds–were kind of eccentric that way. In our book we explain in detail what to look for, where to find it and how to sell it on eBay in such a way to maximize your profits. We still manage to sell hundreds of items a month even after the release of our book, I guess we’re proud of the fact that after we authored the book we are still as active as ever on eBay,” says co-author Marie Novocin.
As of February, 2012 the Novocin’s eBay seller ID, EstateAuctionsInc, has maintained a stunning 100% positive feedback rating, over 15,000! They insist on doing things first class, start to finish, so it’s no surprise they have also started a DVD training course which works hand in hand with their book. For a limited time they have included this free of charge with the purchase of Getting Sold On eBay. “We are including Volume One of our DVD training which includes over an hour of hands on training. We are actively producing more video resources which will be available online and in DVD format in the near future,” says Judah Novocin, Video Content Manager.
The book is available on eBay, of course, as well as the Getting Sold On eBay website and Amazon. However the free DVD offer is only limited to purchases made on eBay or the Getting Sold on eBay Website.
