Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing 2008 Spring Releases - A Bouquet of Books for Mother's Day!

Wyatt-MacKenzie celebrates its tenth year as the leading independent publisher of mom writers. The award-winning Oregon press adds a dad writer to their Spring roster which covers a spectrum of topics from inside Hollywood houses to military spouses, nature appreciation to divorce and separation.

Deadwood, OR (PRWEB) May 1, 2008 -- From the private lives of Hollywood moms to the public service of military wives...from those who love nature to those who've loved and divorced, Wyatt-MacKenzie's Spring books have something for every mom in your life.

LAUGHS AND GAFFES FROM HOLLYWOOD MOMS
Juliet Johnson grew up on the back lot of Universal Studios where her dad created "The Bionic Woman." In her first book, "Somebody's Always Hungry," Julie's comforting stories make it okay for moms not to be perfect all the time. Julie writes, "I grew up thinking a woman had to be beautiful and be able to run really fast in slow motion while working for the government. Finding out how to be a regular mom without superpowers has been enlightening."

--"...a lighthearted but gutsy meditation on time, morality and surrender." -- Julia Gibson, filmmaker

What is it like to leave a life filled with actors, agents, producers and screenwriters to be a mom? In "D-Girl Turns Mom: Leaving Hollywood Behind For the Best Job Ever" Donna Weiser shares the transition from life as a D-girl (development girl) - assistant NBC producer, and later a network executive of FOX - to full-time mother of two boys.

--"Donna humorously relates universal feelings of frustration and inadequacy, and absolute joy!"--Mary Kusnier, Nederlander Concerts

MAKE EVERY DAY EARTH DAY!
Mark Stevens, Wyatt-MacKenzie's first dad author, traveled from his home in Germany to the United States to host Earth Day celebrations and booksignings at Zoos from coast to coast this month. Mark signed copies of his new book "Luisa's Nature" at The Phoenix Zoo, The Sacramento Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, and Staten Island Zoo, while sharing his insight with parents on how to use nature to nurture children.

--"I recommend every parent take this unique journey into a new awareness of understanding your child's growth, deepening your bond with your child, and learning how to raise strong, happy kids."--Armin Brott, a.k.a. Mr. Dad

MILITARY WIVES AND THEIR WONDERFUL LIVES
Marna Krajeski, past Army helicopter pilot and current Army wife, releases two books during Military Appreciation Month - the second edition of "Household Baggage: The Moving Lives of Military Wives" and her brand new anthology "Household Baggage Handlers." This new collection is full of frank, often funny, always friendly, and forever true accounts about military family life.

--"Marna has captured our world."--Kathie J. Hightower author of "Help! I'm a Military Spouse-I Get a Life Too!"

MORE POWERFUL THAN A PRE-NUP, THESE DIVORCE RITUALS HEAL HEARTS
Monza Naff returns to Wyatt-MacKenzie for her third book, 10 years after her first award-winning poetry collection "Healing the Womanheart." Based on the author's 25 years experience, "Must We Say We Did Not Love?" is a brilliant analysis of the spiritual and emotional value of ritual after divorce. This book offers a path to deeper peace and resolution through a 4-element process, flexible enough to fit a variety of feelings and values, children's needs, and goals for the future.

--"I perceive the practice of closure rituals to be the last crucial step in the psychological healing process. Dr. Naff is truly a gifted and brilliant expert."--Dr. Gisela Bermann, clinical psychologist
