“… when streams are ripe and swelled with rain.”  With apologies to Paul Simon, here in the Sonoran Desert there are only dry streambeds this time of year.  It did rain briefly, however, on the Saturday, March 10, day one of the Tucson Festival of Books, but that didn’t seem to deter the over 100,000 book lovers there.  (The Festival’s now the third largest in the country. ) When I’m not working at Wheatmark, one of the things I do is volunteer for the Festival on the Book & Author Committee, where this year I was responsible for inviting authors who work in, or write about, the movie industry. Of all the authors I invited, the one who drew the biggest crowds was not a journeyman author with fifty titles, but first-time author Jenna Fischer.  You may remember Fischer for playing Pam […]

Tucson, AZ – August 16, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of A Climate Vocabulary of the Future by Herb Simmens. A reference book for all things climate change, this book creatively and engagingly helps its readers stay informed about the topic.

For example, readers will learn the importance of dark snow, carbon war […]

Tucson, AZ – August  16, 2017 — Wheatmark, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of The Last Crusader Kingdom: Dawn of a Dynasty in Twelfth-Century Cyprus by Helena P. Schrader. This is the newest historical fiction novel from award-winning author Helena Schrader.

John d’Ibelin, son of the legendary Balian, will one day defy the most powerful monarch on earth. But first he must survive his apprenticeship as squire to a man determined to build a kingdom on an island ravaged by rebellion.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.
