Children’s Book Author Turns New Adult Author

July 8, 2014 – New York – For seven years Author, Jaimie Hope was a children’s book author. Since that time, her children’s book series, The Adventures of Baby Jaimie has grown to six volumes. She’s also released separate standalone children’s book, a Young Adult novel, and her autobiography.  Now she is once again crossing into new territory, she has released her first New Adult novella, The Road That Leads to Home.

“This novella was based on a true story, which made it hard to write. However, as it turned out, it wasn’t the hardest part of the process.” – Jaimie Hope

Recently, Hope has signed on with Phoenix Fire Publishing and received the advice she needed to embrace a new adult genre.  Hope is very pleased with the edition of The Road That Leads To Home. Therefore, she is proud to announce and produce the final edition of her novella.

The Jaimie is currently holding a giveaway.

Giveaway details: All verified purchase reviews of this book on Amazon will be entered into the drawing. Contest is open from now through July 31st. One lucky winner will get a personalized autograph paperback edition & a special swag bag.

Winner will be chosen by Random.org on August 1^st

Although, Jaimie Hope is happy with her publishing company, this re-release effort was not without incident. She has been on the receiving end of a cyber-bullying campaign since February.

 “They think they’ve devastated me, but they haven’t. I persevered and am proud to be announcing my book release today,” the author concluded in her written statement.

Jaimie would like to thank Phoenix Fire Publishing for believing in her and providing her the opportunity to pursue her dreams and discovering a new genre and audience.

Award winning actress Dipti Mehta gives another outstanding performance in the renowned short film Yaarta. She debuts all her talents as a lead actress, producer, writer, and director in this memorizing, raw, heart felt short film.

SEPT 21, 2013 – New York, N.Y. – Awarding winning actress Dipti Mehta leaves audiences speechless in the highly celebrated short film Yaarta. This film is based on a true story of a woman named Priya from Mumbai, who becomes a victim of an arranged marriage. While, her husband gradually begins to accept her into his life, certain scenarios take a dramatic turn after spending a special night together. This story is a reminder to everyone who thinks money can buy happiness. Actress Dipti captures the emotional journey marvelously of Priya’s heart and plea of her soul.

In India’s society women loose their voice at an early age. Their lives are marred by what men want. What they wear, who they meet, what they say; men decide even what and how much they eat. Women are abused under the name of social norms, and social stigma.

The Film has been written and directed by Dipti Mehta alongside Erica Gould.

Dipti states “Most of us live our lives without realizing what is happening in the world. Yaatra is a jolt of awareness for people and a plea for justice for Priya and all those women who are victims of social norms. I am thankful to the entire team for believing in the spirit of the story and working as a team to make the film a reality.”

Yaarta is nominated for neuromas awards from World Music & Independent Film Festival (WMIFF) such as Best Screenplay in Short Film, Best Director in International Short Film,  Best Actress International Short Film, Best Women Filmmaker, Best Southeast Asia Short Film, Best Director, and Best Short Film. Yaarta will be screened at Golden Door International Film Festival in Jersey City in October.
