 June 2003 Paraview Literary Agency
president Lisa Hagan has new sales to report. Her
client, Dr. Bobby Smith, will be writing The Will to Survive for Jodere
Publishers. And New World Library was smart to snap up Lift! Insights from
Capitalists Who Raise the Bar. This work by Christine Arena with Michael
Banks will inspire anyone who’s trying to grow their business during these
sometimes difficult economic times.
Yet more honors are being bestowed upon Paraview Literary Agency client Kristina Borjesson. The 2002 book she edited,
Into the
Buzzsaw, won the National Press Club Arthur Rouse Award for Press
Criticism. You can read an interview with
this investigative journalist in which she discusses media censorship,
self-imposed and otherwise.
Paraview Press author Eileen P. Flynn continues to tackle the many controversies
facing the Catholic Church. Flynn, the author of
Catholics at a Crossroads: Coverup, Crisis, and Cure, wrote an opinion
piece for the New York Post in which she discusses this year’s meeting of
the Catholic bishops during what she calls a “new era” in which the laity is
empowered. Flynn wrote: “Bishops now know that they need to exercise that office
with caution and competence and to care about children and families if they are
to find their way back into the good graces of the Catholic people.”
New Book: The Third Level
of Reality
Astrophysicist Percy Seymour explores a level of reality in the latest Paraview Special Editions release -- the dimension that can explain phenomena
such as the human aura, apparitions, telepathy, clairvoyance, and our ability to look into the future.
May 2003
New Book: Strange Secrets
According to evidence presented in Paraview Pocket Books’ Strange

monster, psychic spies, and more.
Featured Client: Ty Murray
In this revealing memoir, Paraview Literary Agency client Ty Murray
reflects on his life as a twenty-first century cowboy and the daredevil world of
the rodeo.

viewing program.
Featured Client:
Kristina Borjesson
Congratulations go out to Paraview Literary Agency client Kristina Borjesson,
whose Into the Buzzsaw was named a “Book to Remember 2002” by the New
York Public Library.
March 2003 Paraview
Publishing will be well represented at this year’s
fortean UnConvention

our paranormal books section.
Paraview Literary Agency client Jewel is not only a gifted performer and
writer, but has an eye for talent, too. Agency president Lisa Hagan has just
sold two books of poetry to Atria Books (a division of Simon & Schuster), the
contents of which will be selected by Jewel. During her Soul City Cafe tour,
Jewel will ask young artists come up on stage and recite their original poetry.
Then, visitors to her
website can vote on the poems that they feel should be published. Jewel
will write the book’s foreword and include a few of her own poems and photos.
Jewel has also written two books represented by the Paraview Agency,
A Night Without Armor and
Chasing Down the Dawn.
Karen Weissman and Tami Coyne, the Paraview Literary Agency clients known
as the Spiritual Chicks, were a huge hit at the Barnes & Noble in NYC’s West
Village on March 21. Weissman and Coyne signed copies of their entertaining and
enlightening book, The Spiritual Chicks
Questions Everything, which was just published by Red Wheel/Weiser.
Paraview Press’ new release, Catholics at
a Crossroads: Coverup, Crisis, and Cure, is already generating
attention. Author Eileen Flynn will speak at the
Spirituality Convocation at the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown,
N.J., on April 5. In Crossroads, Flynn examines the recent sex abuse scandal
that rocked the church, as well as how the institution and parishioners can move
forward and heal. Jason Berry, author of Lead Us Not Into Temptation,
said of the book, “Flynn is asking hard questions, the kind that cloud the
thoughts of many a Catholic. All theologians should be so brave.”
Frank Keating, former governor of Oklahoma, and Chair of the American Bishops'
Advisory Panel for the new national Office for Child and Youth Protection said,
"Eileen Flynn charges church leaders to create and 'sustain genuine religious
communities.' Her book is a call for a return to humility, a renewed piety and
joins the discussion over what ails and what heals our contemporary faith."
The New York Public Library has selected Paraview Literary Agency client
Kristina Borjesson’s Into the Buzzsaw
for inclusion in "Books to Remember 2002." Every year, a committee of librarians
from The New York Public Library selects 25 exceptional fiction and nonfiction
titles, published in the previous year, to be designated "Books to Remember."
Into the Buzzsaw, which was published by Prometheus Books, is a collection
of essays examining the depth and breadth of censorship in American journalism
today. The 47th annual "Books to Remember" presentation will be held at the
Celeste Bartos Forum at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library on March 21,
2003, in New York City.
The Paraview Literary Agency has some great projects in the works.
Literary Agency president Lisa Hagan has just taken on Lift! Insights from
Capitalists Who Raise the Bar by Michael Banks and Christine Arena. Lift!
makes the case that doing good business is good for business.
Leading-edge companies are embracing change and moving beyond old models of
success. Michael and Christine will be interviewing CEOs of huge corporations
that are doing just that.
Lisa has also signed up Energize Now: How to Make Every Day a High Energy
Day: Easy Mind-Body Techniques to Increase Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness in
Minutes by Jerry Teplitz, J.D., Ph.D., with Norma Eckroate. Dr. Teplitz
shares dozens of easy and quick methods to "switch on" your body and mind so you
can attain a higher degree of energy, productivity, happiness, and success in
minutes and, in some cases, in seconds.
And in this economic climate, most people will need to read another new project
represented by Lisa Hagan, Inspired Living by David Harder. David is an
expert in helping people find their ideal careers. David has witnessed thousands
of individuals in his seminars and coaching sessions shows people how to find
joy in their work.
Agent Karrie Coburn is representing a new novel by Jason Morgan.
The Red Field follows the interwoven stories of three back-woods healers
on Redemption Mountain, North Carolina, in the 1930s. The moving story of these
three people freely intermingles the spirit world with everyday high mountain
life, deep in the rugged south where life, even on a good day, is tenuous at
best, and death comes as naturally as a sweet breeze.
Paraview Publishing and Publishing Dimensions, a leading content
conversion and publishing consultancy, announced today
our agreement to implement Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), a
technology offered by Content Directions, to aid in online marketing of Paraview
Publishing titles. “We’re looking forward to utilizing DOI technology to
increase the presence of our books and authors on the web. DOI technology
enables us in an effortless manner to provide contextual and purchase
information on our titles on the Internet. This will add to the experience of
readers interested in obtaining more information than just title and price,”
stated Alexander Dake, CEO of Paraview Publishing. For a live example of a DOI
applied to a Paraview title, point your mouse at the title
by Loren Coleman.
February 2003 Karrie Coburn may be new to the
Paraview Literary Agency, but she’s already signed up three promising clients and projects. |

January 2003 Paraview
Literary Agency’s new agent, Karrie Coburn, is a former woodworker and
furniture maker whose story proves that when one door closes, another one opens.
She first thought of getting into agenting while recovering from a work-related
injury to her hand. During her downtime, she read a manuscript that her husband,
Tristram Coburn, had brought home from his job as an acquisitions editor for
International Marine/McGraw-Hill. His company could not publish the novel, and
without an agent, Karrie feared that this wonderful author’s story might never
be read. Karrie knew that she was inextricably tied to this wonderful industry
and had to act. As a member of the Paraview team, Karrie is looking forward to
bringing many wonderful novels to eager readers.
While the
rest of the world is hibernating, Paraview Literary Agency president Lisa
Hagan is as active as ever. Lisa just took on a new client, palmistry expert
Donna McCue,
author of Your Fate Is in Your Hands: Using the Principles of Palmistry to
Change Your Life. Her next book is Winning Hands, a coffee table book
loaded with photos of the hands of winning athletes, as well as an analysis of
what their hands reveal.
With
Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Paraview Literary Agency client
Elisabeth Millar’s proposed book is a must-have. Millar is working on
Releasing Aphrodite: A Woman’s Book of Fragrances for Love, which focuses
exclusively on using the natural fragrances of essential oils as aphrodisiacs to
enhance the sensuous pleasures of romantic and erotic love. Millar is also the
author of The Fragrant
Veil, which also targets the growing audience that’s looking for
pleasing and effective information on natural fragrance. |

one of the most fascinating men in the world, the president of Russia, Vladimir

Paraview
Literary Agency client Mark Macy is developing his second book, Wonders
of the Afterlife According to Modern Research. This book will shed light on
a miraculous new field of research that’s opening the doorway between heaven and
earth. According to Mark, angels and departed loved ones are sending us vivid
descriptions of their lives and wondrous worlds of spirit that they inhabit. But
the information is not filtering through the minds of psychic channels. It’s
streaming directly into our computers, telephones, radios, TVs, and other modern
devices. Mark's first book,
Miracles in the Storm, was published by New American Library and is
being made into a feature film.
The
prolific and talented astrologer A.T. Mann has another sale to his credit.

Parapsychology: Science of the Future, a major update of his acclaimed 1991
work, Parapsychology: The Controversial Science. Broughton’s new material
includes information on the famous psychic spying program of the U.S.
government, efforts to provide a theoretical underpinning for ESP and
psychokinesis based on quantum physics, and how recent discoveries in
parapsychology may have broad implications for business, healthcare, and, in the
wake of the September 11 tragedy, possibly even modern warfare. Lisa has also
signed up Michael Banks and Christine Arena, who are working on Front Line:
In Search of Good Business in America, a compilation of tomorrow’s best
business approaches that are being practiced today by leading-edge companies. In
Front Line, readers will learn how to embrace change and move beyond old

August 2002 Lisa Hagan has added two more clients to an
already impressive roster at the Paraview Literary Agency.
Gale Smallwood Jones explores the criminal mind in Inside
Outlaws. This book takes a provocative new look at violence, and
using the lives of serial killers, schoolboy murderers and also
some of the world’s greatest artists as illustrations
concludes that these groups have much in common. On the other
side of the law is new client Dr. Bobby E. Smith, who is working
on Calling All Cops: A Street Smart, Been There, Done That
Survival Guide for Every Kind of Cop. Dr. Smith, a former
Louisiana State Trooper, was shot during a routine stop that
spiraled out of control. He lost his sight, his faith, his zest
for life, his wife, and his job. From his trials he gives hope to
those who have lost theirs, and inspires those who are strong to
remain so.
Two Paraview Press
authors have appeared in the media recently. Sheila Grant, author
of the personal transformation guide Any Woman Can!, was featured
in the Memphis Times. Rob Riggs, author of In the Big Thicket: On
the Trail of the Wild Man, was interviewed

July 2002 It’s easy to ignore
the suffering of young children on the other side of the globe,
but Naomi Bronstein cannot. Bronstein, a Montreal native, rushed
to Vietnam during the war after seeing what was happening to the
sick and abandoned Vietnamese children. She hasn't stopped since.
Bronstein has rescued needy children in Vietnam, Cambodia, and
Guatemala, and helped to bring them to physical and emotional
health and place them in loving homes. She is currently
collecting her rich stories into a book that will be represented
by Paraview Literary Agency’s Lisa Hagan.
We may be in the midst of summer,
but we at Paraview Press are working on our fall titles
and invite you to take a first look at two forthcoming books.
The Sonic
Thread: Sound as a Pathway to Spirituality is by
Cynthia Snodgrass, a musicologist and the founder of the Sacred
Sound Institute. In this collection of stories, Snodgrass shares
her experiences with music and spirituality during her travels
around the world. Competitive Business, Caring Business: An Integral
Business Perspective for the 21st Century is by
Daryl S. Paulson, Ph.D., the CEO of BioScience Laboratories, Inc.
Paulson applies the work of Ken Wilber, the world's foremost
human science theorist, to the business domain and shows how the
process of "doing business" must be considered in a holistic and
integral manner. Paulson also explains how to develop win-win
strategies that satisfy individual employees, work teams, senior
management, and shareholders, as well as society and global
concerns. Ken Wilber supplied the Foreword.
We live in challenging,
transformational times, which is why the lessons of Chuck and
Lency Spezzano are so important. The Spezzanos, who are now
represented by Paraview Literary Agency President Lisa
Hagan, have developed a visionary healing model called the
Psychology of Vision. This model offers a practical system based
on love, healing, trust, and the power of choice. Look for more
inspiring projects from the Spezzanos soon.
True love knows no
boundaries, according to new Paraview Literary Agency
client Karen Prisant, who was just signed by Lisa Hagan. In her
proposed book, Is That You?, Prisant, a psychic forensic
detective, communicates with her fiancé after his death on
Swiss Air Flight 111 in this amazing story full of love and goose
bumps.
We’ve all had them, even
if we don’t read tabloids. Elvis sightings, that is.
Paraview Literary Agency client Michael Luckman reveals
various experiences with the UFO’s of rock stars in Close
Encounters of the Musical Kind, which was sold to Pocket
Books. Luckman’s non-fiction account features strange
sightings of rock stars such as Elvis Presley, David Bowie,
Michael Jackson, Megadeth, Blue Oyster Cult, and the Foo
Fighters. Keep your eyes open for more!
Lisa Hagan and Paraview
Literary Agency are leading the way in bringing insightful,
innovative astrology to the curious reader. The latest offering
from Paraview Literary Agency client and well-respected
astrologer A.T. Mann, A New Vision of Astrology, was sold
to Pocket Books. In it, Mann teaches a unique system for learning
and practicing astrology that can be used to bridge the gap
between general sun sign astrology and the much more accurate
analysis that includes the moon and the other planets. The book
will include a key number that entitles the reader to an accurate
horoscope diagram based on her or his time, date and place of
birth instantly calculated on an Internet website and printed at
home.

Senior Vice President, Content. She will work with television,
radio, and Internet to develop programming in the fields of
spirituality, social consciousness, environmental issues, and new
science. Paraview's literary clients will be represented by

goes on behind the scenes of a New Age magazine? You won’t
have to wait much longer. Paraview Literary Agency client

Blend magazine, just had his forthcoming novel, The
Magical Blend Story, acquired by Hampton Roads Publishers.

March 2002 Paraview Press author
Laurie Nadel (Dancing with the Wind) has three appearances
scheduled on Long Island this spring. On Saturday, May 11, she
will be signing and reading from her book at Canio’s,
located at 290 Main Street, Sag Harbor, at 6 p.m. At 10:30 a.m.
on June 8, and again on June 15, she will be speaking on
“Your Healing Intelligence” at Gurney’s Inn,
located at 290 Old Montauk Highway.
Yet another
Paraview Literary Agency client has landed a film deal.
Mark Macy's Miracles in the Storm, published by
NAL/Penguin, has been optioned by Carolyn McDonald at Visibility
Communications, Inc. Macy is an expert in the revolutionary
technique of Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC), in which
otherworldly entities contact humans through ordinary
technological devices such as computers and radios. A former
skeptic and agnostic, Macy's story is inspiring and
thought-provoking.
New Line Cinema has
optioned the story of Paraview Literary Agency client
Charmayne James, Rodeo Barrel Racing Champion, and her
prize-winning quarterhorse Scamper. James and Scamper are legends
in the sport. James bought Scamper when she was 13 and Scamper
was a mean, feed-lot ranch horse. But James and Scamper went on
to win 10 consecutive world titles and overcome bias as she's
become a leader in the movement for equality for women in rodeo
and gained the support of the Women's Sports Foundation. Not bad
for a girl from Clayton, New Mexico, pop. 3,000. Clayton just
happens to have held the first Barrel Racing World Championship
in 1959. Twenty-five years later, in a nice "dreams really can
come true" moment, James and Scamper seized that title.
The UK branch of the
Paraview Literary Agency continues to grow with its latest
sale, South American Healing Traditions by Michael Peter
Langevin. New Page Books will publish this valuable
resource.
Colin Bennett, author
of Looking for Orthon, is speakng at the Fortean Times
UnConvention in Bristol, England on April 6. Looking for

February 2002 In London, Lisa
Hagan sold Paraview Literary Agency client A.T. Mann's

Space, to Vega UK. In this comprehensive guide, Mann explains
not only the what’s and how’s of astrology, but the
why’s too. The Round Art is perfect for those who are
interested in the mechanisms of astrology, such as astronomical
phenomena and celestial movements, archetypal symbolism, and
chart interpretation.
Pocket Books won an auction for the autobiography
of Paraview Literary Agency client Ty Murray, the King of
the Cowboys. Murray is the most accomplished rodeo athlete in the
sport's 100-year history. In 1999 he won his seventh All Around
World Championship title, which is an all-time world record in
the sport of rodeo. He's often referred to as "King of the
Cowboys,” "Superman in Boots" and “the Michael Jordan
of professional rodeo.”
Thanks to a generous gift from an interested
donor and the cooperation of a number organizations that were
located on the top floors of the World Trade Center, Paraview
Press has donated 1,000 copies of Spiritual Places In and
Around New York City to families who lost loved ones on
September 11. The donation was made with the hopes that these
survivors will find Spiritual Places to be a valuable
guide to maintaining serenity at a difficult time. The firms that
have cooperated in this distribution include Channel 11 (WPIX),
Fred Alger Management, Fiduciary Trust Co., Inc., Marsh &
McLennan Co., Inc., New York State Department of Taxation and
Finance, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Sandier
O'Neill & Partners, Uniformed Firefighters Association, and
Washington Group Foundation Inc. The distribution to the families

waived their royalties in order to maximize the number of copies
that could be donated. |
