LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, it is timely to have a fact-based military thriller about that part of the world. In his novel Zero Two Hundred Hours, Eric Wentz writes from experience as a navy officer in the United States armed forces. In a review, fellow author Elias Abu-Ayn recognizes how "his laser targeting of the Caucasus, the Middle East and the fractionalized world of Lebanon specifically speaks of firsthand knowledge of these tortured regions". He admires how "his insight put forth in beautiful prose climbs into the realm of the poetic". It was awarded a bronze medal in the Readers' Favorite Book Awards, reviewer Stephanie Dagg commenting that "the characters are rounded, actions are considered and explained, and there is substance to the emotions portrayed".
Established in 2015, LibraryBub is an industry first. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Acclaimed fantasy writer Kat Howard recalls her childhood visits to the library. "I remember going to the library, and checking out every myth and fairy-tale collection I could find. And I remember reading them and seeing the similarities and differences in the stories... They gave me the idea that I could pick and choose; take a favorite piece from one version of a story and combine it with a favorite piece from another version until I had my own favorite. I suppose I still do that." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.

Children's author Alan Hesse was delighted to see the "traction and interest" in his book that LibraryBub generated. He was impressed by the concerted effort to put his book (The Adventures of Polo the Bear) in front of librarians. Participating in the Author Remake program, he explains, "Not only am I getting great live education and advice from Alinka... but also this unexpected exposure to libraries, which somehow passed beneath my radar of expectations."
