iUniverse Titles Featured in May Edition of Kirkus Discoveries Newsletter
New York, NY, June 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Two iUniverse titles, Lick Me by DeLeon DeMicoli and Willis Conover: Broadcasting Jazz to the World: A Biography, received excellent reviews in the May 2007 edition of the Kirkus Discoveries monthly e-newsletter.
A fast-paced pulp fiction novel, Lick Me tells how a female victim of sexual assault takes the ultimate revenge on rapists by creating a superhero alter ego and hunting them down. Through the use of dark satire, Lick Me dissects the immoral standards of network television as it uses ratings to determine what’s newsworthy, and considers an easily influenced culture that devours the questionable content of celebrity tabloids. According to the Kirkus Discoveries review, Lick Me is “a promising debut from a talented writer.”
Willis Conover: Broadcasting Jazz to the World: A Biography is an account of the life of Willis Conover, known around the world for his Voice of America jazz programs and his work as a jazz ambassador. Many of the world’s best jazz musicians credit Conover with helping them learn more about this type of music. This biography details Conover’s professional accomplishments in the world of jazz, including the profound impact he had on the Soviet Union and Eastern European Communist nations. Kirkus Discoveries calls the book “an inviting, heartfelt look at a behind-the-scenes jazz guru.”
