Dream

Gilbert, AZ – Sortis Publishing will release Dream by Adam Montierth on April 1st 2011. This is Emmy award winner Adam Montierth’s first in a series of children’s books that will be published by Sortis.

Dream is a brilliantly illustrated and very well written book aimed at motivating young readers to set out and accomplish goals even when others may have said it can’t be done.

As a writer, producer, and director Mr. Montierth is no novice when it comes to writing. Adam and his twin brother Donovan have been writing since they were very young and as a result, they have garnered much acclaim for their work together, including 3 Emmy awards for short films they have written, produced, and directed under the banner of Brothers Ink Productions. Adam’s wife and children have inspired him to apply his talent to the art of Children’s literature.

Mike Webb owner of Sortis Publishing said “I am very pleased to have Adam aboard as one of our authors, his first book titled “Dream” is sure to be a hit among kids and parents alike as it is written to teach kids to go after their dreams and lead an accomplished life even when others might tell them otherwise. The book uses characters from history like the Wright brothers, Neil Armstrong and others to teach a great lesson. The book is also great for science and history as well”.

Not only will the book be made available through retail outlets like Barnes and Noble and Border’s but it will be available through online book retailers like Amazon.com and others.

Mr. Montierth will be involved with schools and other organizations involving kids by doing readings and other events on a regular basis.

More about the book and Mr. Montierth can be found by visiting the publisher’s website at www.sortispublishing.com.

First to use Video Phone for Live Television Interview

Gilbert, AZ – Sortis Publishing is the first to use video phone for live television interview. This is a first in the publishing industry as well as a first in the video phone and television industries.

On January 27th 2011 Sortis Publishing set up a live video phone interview with author and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. The interview was done with AZTV in Arizona during their AM Arizona morning show with Tonya Mock and Lew Rees. 

First time video phone used for live television interview is used

“This is the first time to our knowledge that a live on air interview has been done using a video phone. We have done numerous online searches for anything regarding an event like this and we have come up with nothing. This is a first!” says Mike Webb who is the owner of Sortis Publishing. ”I had the idea of using this method of doing interviews after seeing the phone demonstrated and the implications it could have in my business”. Authors with Sortis Publishing can now do live TV interviews in a very cost effective way for both the publisher and the TV station.

Better quality with video phone for live television interview

“There are other methods of doing live TV interviews such as the free service that everyone knows about that you use through your computer, but the quality was not nearly as good as what we were able to get using the video phone” said Mike Webb.

The interview with Attorney General Mark Shurtleff was centered on his new book “Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story”, which has just been released and is published by Sortis Publishing. The book is available at online retailers as well as through the publisher’s website.

You can see the video and find out more about the interview and video phone by clicking here.

Sortis Publishing plans to use the video phone again for interviews with their authors and we plan to work directly with TV stations around the country to facilitate these cost effective live video phone interviews.

Attorney General releases new book for Black History Month

Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story

Am I Not a Man?

Special release for Black History Month “Am I Not a Man? – The Dred Scott Story” by Attorney General Mark Shurtleff breathes new life into the famous case that defined our nation’s stance on racism.

This historical novel illustrates the heart-rending true story of Dred Scott, a freed slave forced back into bondage, and his struggle to regain liberty. Scott’s personal story is one of national importance, as the case of Scott vs. Sanford became Abraham Lincoln’s presidential platform and served as a key reference in our nation’s Emancipation Proclamation. Scott’s trials in making the rights of a black man the rights of all Americans are as touching as they are true, in this moving account of Dred’s fight for freedom.

A perfect topic for Black History Month

Prosaic and insightful, Mark Shurtleff chronicles Dred’s journey from its humble beginnings to its earth-quaking conclusion, solidifying Scott as one of the 18th century’s most dynamic and powerful figures in the Abolitionist movement. This is a perfect topic for Black history Month in the United States.

“After five years of deep and extensive research into Dred Scott’s life and times, this distinguished lawyer’s own sense of the hunger of all for justice gives Am I Not a Man gripping authenticity.” - D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton

“It will renew your faith in the power of the human spirit.”- Thurbert E. Baker, Attorney General of Georgia

“Illuminating, sensitive, and powerful, Shurtleff ’s fictional take on Dred Scott asks some timely questions of race and prejudice that have still not been answered.”- Robert Fleming, African American Literature Book Club 

Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story by Mark Shurtleff is available at your local bookstore and online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

Available for Interview in Honor of Black History Month

Attorney General Shurtelff will be in New York, Washington D.C. Detroit and other locations around the country and is making himself available for interviews and speaking engagements during February in honor of Black History Month. You may contact Sortis Publishing at 866-375-9744 to schedule an interview or for more information.

John F. Kennedy Makes His Run for The White House

Kennedy’s Kids by Richard Landerman

How will it impact Alex and Allison Rodgers and the Country?

For Immediate Release – Gilbert, AZ - Sortis Publishing is excited to announce the release of Kennedy’s Kids, the newest novel by author Richard Landerman. In Kennedy’s Kids, Richard Landerman takes the reader back to John F. Kennedy’s run for the white house and the effects it has on a brother and sister in a small town in California. At the beginning of the novel, politics are the farthest thing from the mind of Alex Rodgers, whose time is occupied by his jazz band and falling in love. However, his sister Allison’s vow to become the youngest delegate at the Democratic National Convention and to deliver their heavily Republican district to Kennedy will thrust Alex into the world of politics.

In this coming of age tale, we watch Alex Rodgers and his sister Allison grow up in the midst of John F. Kennedy’s call for social responsibility and how this call will change both of their lives forever. We see Alex deal with falling in love, the death of a friend, the loss of a mentor, and learning a secret about his family’s past, all as he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Little does Alex know how John F. Kennedy’s run for the presidency will provide the opportunity that may affect his life’s path.

See the impact John F. Kennedy’s message of social responsibility had on the youth of the 1960’s and how it is just as relevant today. The realization that there is a bigger world outside of our own and that we all have a responsibility to do what is best for others is part of every person’s growth into an adult.  This novel reminds us of that responsibility.

Richard Landerman is the author of previous works “The Fly Rod Chronicles” and “The Man Fisher”. In Kennedy’s Kids, he takes us back to his small hometown, one of the stops along John F. Kennedy’s campaign train tour through California. He also helps us relive, or experience for the first time, the music, movies, and culture of the early 1960’s that he grew up in.

 Kennedy’s Kids, published by Sortis Publishing, is available for purchase at Sortispublishing.com or Amazon.com and will soon be in bookstores across the country. 

For a review copy of Kennedy’s Kid’s or to schedule an interview or appearance contact Mike Webb at 866.375.9744 mwebb@sortispublishing.com
