“The Governor” Rod Blagojevich Turns Author
The Governor
Almost a month after Illinois’ golden boy, President Barack Obama, claimed the White House throne, the media directed their attention at the 40th Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich.
At 6:15am on December 9, 2008 Blagojevich’s home was infiltrated by the FBI. Asleep next to his young daughter and only one day away from his 52nd birthday, he was awoken and arrested. Perplexed by the entire situation, the governor was then taken to Chicago’s FBI headquarters. Within hours the news was being nationally broadcasted. He was being accused of trying to sell and barter President Barack Obama’s vacant US Senate seat in exchange for money.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Authors Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith have a lot in common. Jane has written many masterpieces of English literary fiction. Seth Grahame-Smith once took a class in English Literature. Okay, maybe that is a bit of a streach, but Newman Communications is having fun with “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” coordinating a book publicity campaign that has radio begging for more.

Logan and Noah Miller, two of the film industry’s hottest names, turn to Newman Communications
Some of us rely on luck, and then there are others who have the ambition to create their own luck, but what if you had both. Imagine the possibilities. Perhaps you could be the country’s next president, a doctor who cures terminal illnesses, or an artistic genius with the ability to create films.
Identical twins, Logan and Noah Miller, were blessed with both qualities. They’re a little too young to be the president and they have no plans to attend medical school, but they are the film industry’s hottest new duo.
You won’t find they’re names on the Walk of Fame, but they are trekking along the path of greatness and book publicity firm Newman Communications is guiding them along the way. Reliving the creation of their first ever feature film Touching Home, the Miller brothers have continued their success by writing the book EITHER YOU’RE IN OR YOU’RE IN THE WAY. The book shows the grittiness and bravado of two brothers who suffered and strived as one. Each page takes you behind the scenes and into the brilliant minds of Logan and Noah Miller.
Without any financial savings, experience, or contacts, the Miller brothers rounded up a cast consisting of 11 Academy Award winners and 26 nominations.
How? A lot of luck and an everlasting burning passion to be great.
After their homeless alcoholic father died alone in a jail cell the Miller brothers set out to make a film in honor of him. Without any sense of reality the two brothers focused all of their energy on the film and day by day pieced it together. From day one they had their hearts set on Academy Award winner Ed Harris, without him even knowing
who they were, to play their father. Anyone else was not an option. Whether they had to kidnap him or not Ed Harris would play the role. Thankfully it did not come to that.
Touching Home premiered at the San Francisco Film Festival last spring. Since then both Logan and Noah have been recognized for their talents and have received numerous audience awards. Book publicity firm Newman Communications has the same hopes for EITHER YOU’RE IN OR YOU’RE IN THE WAY.
