Press Release-New Book
2010
Vanishing Cures
A novel by William A. Muller
An Editor’s Choice Selection
“Vanishing Cures is a great adventure, complete with strong, engaging characters; and intense, well-paced plot line, and a terrific depiction of good versus evil.”
“Organic-sounding dialogue.”
“Action-adventure enthusiasts will love the characters and the series.”
Vanishing Cures was inspired by a CBS 60 Minutes episode about Asian drug cartels selling imitations of life-saving drugs and vaccines putting millions of unsuspecting lives are at risk. Ex Navy SEALs Severin and Krueger along with an NYPD detective and the FBI who previously forged an alliance to stop a terrorist plot to disseminate deadly smallpox, now join an international sting spearheaded by the FBI, MI6, and Interpol to break the back of one cartel. Severin becomes addicted to the adrenaline rush, but his biggest challenges may found in his personal and professional relationships. Thwarted by corruption, snafus among international agencies, and a savvy opponent, the sting is threatened; Severin and Krueger are targeted as they pursue the criminals from the U.S. to Europe and back. Only time will tell if they’ll be victorious over the evil that looms.
For more information about the book you can log on to Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com. Simply type ineither the title of the book or the author’s complete name as it appears above.

John Skinner's New "FishersLog"
LIOCN member John Skinner has introduced a new fishing log and analysis product. John is an experienced and accomplished angler and professional systems developer. That combination of skills has lead to the creation of a very effective PC and MAC fishing tool. John has taken fishing logs into the 21st century. His new enterprise is "Edge Communications." His recent press release is posted below.

“FishersLog”
Fishing Log Software for Windows and Mac
Wading River, NY (March 29, 2010)- On the Edge Communications announced today the release of FishersLog™, a fishing trip logging and analysis program.
FishersLog is a professionally engineered fishing log program designed to make it very convenient for an angler to create and maintain an accurate log of fishing experiences. The program’s intuitive interface allows anglers to quickly and easily record data such as weather and water conditions, locations, species caught, and fishing techniques. The software will automatically generate sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and moon phase data for each trip, eliminating the need for the angler to look up and record this important information. . Pictures can be associated with trips. Convenient graphical analysis tools allow the angler to spot fishing trends and visualize their fishing experiences in ways not possible with more simplistic methods of recording trips.
John Skinner, a New York-based fishing writer, author, and lecturer, developed FishersLog with a well-earned reputation as a consistent producer of trophy striped bass from Long Island waters. Skinner credits his methodical record keeping and examination of those records as part of the formula for consistent fishing success. John Skinner has over 20 years of software development experience working for a government research laboratory and a major aerospace company.
“How an angler organizes and processes fishing data often makes the difference between consistent success and occasional luck,” said Skinner. “FishersLog helps anglers record and examine data more effectively and efficiently, while providing valuable insights that can often translate into better fishing decisions.”
Trip reports can be exported to HTML for display in a web browser, exported to a text editor, or be generated in printer friendly format.
FishersLog runs on Windows and Intel-based Mac OS X versions 10.5 or higher. It can be downloaded for a free 7-day evaluation period and purchased online for $19.95 at http://www.fisherslog.com/.

LIOCN Group Created on LInkedIn.com
I had a few minutes this morning so I created a LIOCN group on LinkedIn.com For those of you who may not be familiar with LinkedIn, it was first created as a 'face-book'- type site for adults. Facebook originally started as a teeny-bopper, HS and college social site. But LinkedIn has always attracted professionals from all walks of life. Since I have been a member I have enjoyed feedback that has lead to article assignments and other engagements, and I know plenty of folks who've landed jobs from the networking. I am not sure how many of you are on LinkeIn but for those of you who are it is a simple process to join the group. For those who aren't, I've sent an official invite email so simply create a brief profile and you're in. Based on my experience this is one of the best professional networking sites on the web. I've also coded our group so that anyone who wants to join needs to be pre-approved. Stay well...AP
