Author Brooke Chlebeck Lewis’s New Book The Girl Who Curled Pug’s Tail
Lakewood, CA, July 23, 2024 –Brooke Chlebeck Lewis, a nurse and a lover of animals who spends her time volunteering at Hanaeleh, a local horse sanctuary, has completed her new book, “The Girl Who Curled Pug’s Tail”: a poignant and charming story of a senior dog who grows sad believing he will never be adopted from the dog rescue shelter, but finds a second chance at a new home in the arms of a young girl with a big heart.
“No one is safe from loneliness, depression, and feeling isolated,” writes Brooke. “When feeling down in the dumps, even good situations feel bleak. Loneliness does change how we feel, act, and look, but it can all change right back in a matter of seconds if given the right chance.
“This is a story of a pug who was so well loved, but when his owner left in an ambulance, Pug was left in his own sadness, the perfect curly tail left in a pitiful straight limp. Will he ever feel love again?
“In a dog rescue center, it is easy to take puppies home, but consider a senior dog. They are often there with a broken heart, knowing what true love could be. They are usually potty trained, done chewing, know tricks, and just want to be loved.”
Published by Page Publishing, Brooke Chlebeck Lewis’s engaging tale will help teach readers of all ages not to look past senior animals, or people for that matter. With colorful artwork by illustrator Mark Nino Balita, “The Girl Who Curled Pug’s Tail” is sure to resonate with readers of all ages, serving as a testament to the profound impact of compassion and the beauty of second chances.
All profits of “The Girl Who Curled Pug’s Tail” will go to local shelters.

Walter Sawyer’s Newly Released Growing Old Is Not for the Meek
Port St. Lucie, FL, July 23, 2024 –“Growing Old Is Not for the Meek: (My Aging Memories)”: a poignant autobiographical work. “Growing Old Is Not for the Meek: (My Aging Memories)” is the creation of published author, Walter Sawyer.
Sawyer shares, “Growing old, I have many things to be grateful for. The young lady I met after getting out of the Navy (I still can see her after fifty years), the petite five-foot skinny long brown hair to her shoulder, brunette, she wore blue slacks with a checkered blue-and-white blouse. I will never forget the first sighting of her; the monument will live in my mind forever.
“I am grateful for my three children, my seven grandchildren, and my five great-grandchildren.
“Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. After the loss of my wife after thirty-one years and firstborn, who found life too hard to handle, took the easy way out, not realizing that we all belong to someone other than ourselves; yes, it is my life, but is it? Who do we leave behind, and what is the repercussion from it? Without a doubt, people’s lives well be changed.
“I have many memories of our adventures, traveling to the many states across the United States of America.
“’The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page” (St. Augustine).
“No one wants to live in the past. Anyone who is above the age of seventy has lived to tell you this is true.
“The worst thing about growing old is the ones you leave behind. Even worse are the items they left behind: the items you can touch remembering who gave them to you or the items you gave to them.
“For every house that has lost someone, their ghost or angel is still there walking around keeping you warm, a breath of fresh air with a scent when there is no scent for you to smell. Most individuals live on memories, wishing they could do some of their past again.
“My book is about life, and I am sharing it with you. I have made many mistakes; maybe you can adjust your life to make it a little better for those you care for.”

Author Alan Fortin’s New Book, Finding Hope with Cancer: Food: is It Really About Our Health
Pike Road, AL, July 23, 2024 — Alan Fortin, who has been diagnosed with three different types of cancers throughout his lifetime, has completed his new book, “Finding Hope with Cancer: Food: Is It Really about Our Health?”: a thought-provoking read that delves into the intricate relationship between diet, health, and cancer prevention, navigating the challenging terrain of food safety, nutritional choices, and their impact on human health.
In “Finding Hope with Cancer,” Fortin confronts the daunting reality of a cancer diagnosis and the questions it raises about diet and lifestyle choices. With a candid approach, the author explores whether the foods people consume everyday are protective against cancer or if they contribute to the disease, pointing to concerns over toxic chemicals, hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the nation’s food supply.
“Looking back at my childhood, I believed all foods were good for you, or at least wouldn’t hurt you,” writes Fortin. “I thought, why would they sell unhealthy food, and why would we buy them? Especially if they could make us sick or worse. As I became older, I realized it’s not entirely about the consumers’ health but profits in the food industry and investors on Wall Street too.
The author continues, “I came to this realization after reading about hormones, as well as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides entering the food system. I became sad, disturbed, and disappointed with the FDA, EPA, and to some degree, the financial market on Wall Street since I believe allowing chemicals and modifying food was driven by financial gain and not our health.
“I do not want to scare anyone from eating, but I feel it’s best to be informed so we, the families, can be comfortable and confident with the foods we buy and eat. Like the saying goes, we are what we eat, and our health reflects that.”

(Photo: Business Wire)
COOLMAX® EcoMade fiber transports moisture away from the body to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates. This helps athletes stay cool, dry, and comfortable so they can focus on the game. It is one of many innovative branded fibers produced by The LYCRA Company designed to help optimize athletic performance. This technology converts pre-consumer textile waste scraps from garment manufacturers into fibers offering comparable performance to virgin polyester.
“We are thrilled that Brazil’s volleyball uniforms feature 92% COOLMAX® EcoMade fiber made from textile waste and 8% LYCRA® fiber, so we will be rooting for them in Paris,” said Nicolas Banyols, chief commercial officer – apparel, The LYCRA Company. “The benefits of activewear and sportswear with performance fibers are not limited to elite athletes anymore. Consumers of all abilities can now buy these innovative garments at retail, ensuring that everyone can experience the enhanced comfort and performance our fibers offer, in addition to options for durable and sustainable fibers for reduced environmental impact.”
LYCRA® brand fibers, now owned by The LYCRA Company, have been an integral part of the games since 1968, when the French alpine ski team dominated the medal count in Grenoble. The team’s ski suits featured LYCRA® fiber, which provided a second-skin fit and greater freedom of movement. The long-standing history of performance and innovation in sports is a testament to the trust and reliability that the company’s fibers offer, instilling confidence in athletes and consumers alike.
“While the silver medal-winning 1984 Brazilian volleyball team uniform was the main inspiration for the design of this jersey, we wanted the fabric to be cutting-edge and future-focused,” said Camila de Paula Souza, Style Manager at Body Work | Riachuelo. “This fabric is designed to provide comfort and is made from textile waste—a win for athletes and a win for the planet.”
