New Fairfield, CT, February 4, 2012 — Indie author Gregory S. Slomba has published his first novel, “The Deliverers: Sharky and the Jewel”. The book, a fantasy for children ages 9 to 13, is currently available on Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com, and as an e-book for Kindle.

The book is about 12 year old Eric Scott, who has recently lost his father in a hiking accident. Then he meets Stig, an owl from another world. Together, they are sent to deliver Calendria, a small fishing village, from Sharky, an immortal pirate captain that has enslaved them.

When they arrive, they meet Kate Endria, who is convinced that they are The Deliverers—heroes of an ancient prophecy who are destined to defeat Sharky and his crew. Eric devises a plan. His confidence rises when they rescue Hallo Tosis, an outcast dwarf who gives them the key to a powerful weapon. But it’s only after things go horribly wrong that Eric and Stig discover the true object of their mission.

Slomba lives and works in western Connecticut. A banker for 20 years, he also spent four years as an editor for a flooring magazine. He spent 17 years as an adult advisor at a local youth group, writing them a story every Christmas.

After taking a four year career detour as an editor for a trade magazine, he felt ready to write his first book.

Omnific Publishing Author Linda Cunningham To Appear On The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson

Omnific Publishing is pleased to announce the appearance of author Linda Cunningham on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, to be aired November 11, 2011.  Ms. Cunningham will be on the show to promote her new romance release, Small Town Girl.  She also happens to be Craig Ferguson’s mother-in-law. Craig posted the following to his Twitter account:

@craigyferg: Booked Linda Cunningham author of the novel “Small Town Girl” on the show for 11 Nov. Very tough interview. #shesmymotherinlaw #f%%k

Craig and Megan Cunningham met at a fundraiser in New York City and were married on Linda’s farm in Vermont in December 2008. They have one child together, Liam. (Mr. Ferguson has a son, Milo, from a previous marriage).

In her debut novel, Linda Cunningham writes about Lauren, a woman who has it all, discovering what she truly wants from her big city life.  Reviews for Small Town Girl have been quite positive. A Tale of Many Reviews blog reviewer, Julie Brazeal, says:

Small Town Girl is a great start to a new contemporary romance series by Cunningham. Fans of Fool’s Gold by Susan Mallery will enjoy this book….

…(Lauren’s grandmother’s house) is a major player in the story. If it weren’t for the house, there would be no meeting Caleb, no place to go when her world falls apart, nothing to throw all her efforts and emotions into, and no home for the future. What a great friend she has in that house!

I’m interested to see where Cunningham takes this series. For those that like happily ever afters that require work, disappointment, grand gestures, hot scenes, and redemption, Small Town Girl is a book for you.

SYNOPSIS:  When Lauren Smith begrudgingly returns to the small Vermont town where she grew up to arrange for the sale of her late grandmother’

s old farmhouse, she has everything she’s always worked for. Lauren drives a Mercedes. She’s engaged to one of the most powerful businessmen in the country and wears a three carat diamond ring to prove it. She lives in a penthouse on Central Park West. Yes, Lauren has everything she considers important. She is smugly prepared for any eventuality in dealing with these country people, so Lauren isn’t surprised when the hot water isn’t working at the old house. No problem. She simply looks in the phone book and calls the local plumber.

The moment Caleb Cochran steps through the old screen door to fix the hot water, the glittery facade that masquerades as Lauren’s life begins to crumble around her. Though she tries hard to deny their mutual, magnetic attraction, Lauren is finally forced to reevaluate her focus and come face to face with her true self. “Small Town Girl” is a story of discovering the true meaning of life and love.
