Digital Magic Entertainment has released the first U.S. teaser trailer for The Thought Exchange, the first feature film by Usher Morgan. In this groundbreaking film, The Thought Exchange, David Friedman takes us on a journey that begins where most of us started and perhaps still are; firmly entrenched in the ambitions, strivings and frustrations of the physical world; and leads us, step by step, discovery by discovery, to this new world, the REAL world, that has always been right here, inside us. In this world, we not only find that we have all that we’ve looking for, but we discover that the “outer” world has no choice but to reflect the contentment, success and peace that we already have, and have always had, inside of ourselves. This film will lead you, in ways you’ve never been led before, to where you’ve always truly wanted to be.

The film will feature David Friedman, Lucie Arnaz, Arje Shaw, Dora Rubin and others.

The company announced that the full trailer (2.5 minutes) will be released on December 24th, 2011. The film will sneak into theaters in New York starting March 15th. A wide release will follow in May 2012. To watch the trailer, visit www.TheThoughtExchange.com/film

New York publisher Library Tales Publishing is pleased to announce its upcoming book, “Worth Fighting For”, by Steve Alpert and Gary Cohen, which will be available during its national launch on November 11, 2011 in bookstores everywhere.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(LTP Press - August 8, 2011) – This emotional true story is a first-person account of artist Steve Alpert’s journey of self-discovery to find purpose and meaning in his life and his art. After finishing college and not being drafted for service in Vietnam, Alpert moved on to a successful career as a television producer/director. Alpert’s seemingly orderly life is upended by a brief but moving visit to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington that generates more questions than answers for him. However, he buries the questions until they flood back one fateful day in 2003, when he sees a photo in the NY Times of a downed U.S. Military Blackhawk helicopter. Alpert begins to paint Blackhawk images with no understanding of why or what he will do with the paintings. Alpert takes the reader on his journey of passion and transformation. In trying to find meaning in his life, Alpert has a quick flashback that takes him to his college dorm and Vietnam draft numbers. It generates a new drive within that spurs even more paintings. With chance encounters that take him and his art to Walter Reade Hospital to visit recovering soldiers; NASA; Washington D.C. with the possibility of presenting his painting to the President of the United States; and to Dover AFB, where a member of the Honor Guard literally steps out of a door and off the canvas to shake Alpert’s hand, baby boomers, artists and those seeking meaning in life will surely connect with the challenges, revelations and Alpert’s ultimate epiphany. Along the way, be prepared to be thoroughly entertained and engaged by the author’s ability to rivet you in this moving story. The book is part adventure, part emotional roller coaster, and part journey of self-discovery. About duty, honor and courage, it is also a tribute to those who serve. This is the story of a man that finds meaning and purpose in his life through introspection and the resulting life experiences that his art leads him to. The result is a moving story about how following your heart and your passion can lead to happiness and service to others.

In the world of publishing, there is a sea of untapped potential. One of the biggest opportunities for authors and publishers to promote their work and make money while doing so is to sell game rights, merchandising rights, audiobook rights and yes -- film rights.

A rising publishing company in New York, Library Tales Publishing has decided to capitalize on this untapped potential for themselves, by creating a subsidiary film production company. The publisher will begin producing films based on their bestselling books, and work is already in production for two new feature films, one of which is “The Thought Exchange.” This is a metaphysical film about new thought, which is currently being shot in New York, and is scheduled to be released on November 11th, 2011 (11/11/11). Another film is ”Grausam,” a horror film based on the much anticipated book by the same title. “Grausam” is going into pre-production on September, 2011 and has not received an official release date; the book Grausam will be released to the public on Halloween, 2011.

Chairman and CEO of Library Tales Publishing Usher Morgan said, "The Publishing business gives publishers the opportunity to capitalize on many channels that (mostly) remained untouched. The chances that someone will offer you to buy the film rights to a book that did not hit the shelves yet are very small if you are a small publisher; so I took the initiative and got into it myself."

Bestselling author, Disney Composer and Music Producer David Friedman has recently signed a film deal with the film production division of Library Tales Publishing, Inc.

This concept was developed by great philosophers such as Napoleon Hill, Andrew Carnegie, Einstein, and other inspiring figures.

The relatively new book publisher has a rapidly expanding portfolio with over 100 titles scheduled to be released in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

New York publisher Library Tales Publishing is pleased to announce its upcoming book, “The Fix”, by Arje Shaw, which will be available during its national launch on May 10th, 2011 in bookstores everywhere.

“The Fix” is the story of Eddie Parker, a young refugee from Russia, who arrives in New York City in 1949 from a German displacement camp. He and his family come to start their new lives in America. But there was no “gold in the streets,” mom and pop didn’t love each other, and his father abandoned the family. Eddie grows up quickly, becoming the ‘man of the house’ at sixteen — dropping out of school, gambling and drinking. He becomes a pool hustler at Trios Pool Hall, the training ground for his career as a bookie for the local Mob boss. But Eddie overextends, putting his life on the line. The only one who can bail him out is his son, a High School basketball star. But things go horribly wrong when his plan backfires and puts Eddie on the run.

The language sings, the dialogue sizzles and the author plays words, rhythm and cadence like a finely- tuned instrument, The Fix promises thrills and twists from page one, and as the plot develops the reader finds that it delivers. Full of fascinating characters and an exceptional hero, the story keeps the reader wanting more. This is the story of a man coming to terms with himself, a compelling work of introspection and humor. Beneath the linguistic playfulness and witty banter, the author’s true compassion for his characters shines through. The result is an edgy, hard-driven tale seeking the answer to Eddie Parker’s perennial question: “Who am I and how did I get here?”

Author Arje Shaw’s works include The Gathering (Broadway, Off-Broadway), “Magic Hands Freddy”, “A Catered Affair”, “Moolah”, and “The Final Rub”. Meet Mr. Shaw at his book signing event at Borders on Columbus Circle at 7pm on Tuesday, May 10th. For more information, visit www.TheFixNovel.com.

How many times can love conquer impossible obstacles?

“Strides of Destiny” is a true love story that gives new meaning to the words love, fate and destiny. It passionately depicts love’s triumph and perseverance through the many hardships and uncertainties experienced by a young Cuban couple. They are ultimately separated against their will -- with no hope of ever reuniting again. Alex and Loly’s adolescent romance begins during the 1950's. Life’s cadence on the exuberant and exotic Caribbean island is mixed with flowery fragrances and sea breeze. But their life together is interrupted when political instability in the country prompts a revolutionary movement that turns their paradise into a place of despair.

Their island of paradise undergoes a social and political metamorphosis imposed by Fidel Castro’s new regime. The lack of freedom and human rights leads to drastic decisions. Each day, people leave behind their property, assets, families and loved ones. Uncertain if they will ever see each other again, many families are torn apart by the tests and trials of the separation. Alex and Loly’s love and faith help them keep hope and persevere, although their reunion seems distant and unattainable. But are their feelings strong enough to survive all the tests and tribulations that life will present them?

The book is scheduled to be published on Father’s day, June 19th 2011.
