    Literary fiction novel- ‘Skylark’ wins Bronze Medal

    The Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) awarded Skylark, a Literary Fiction book, the Bronze medal for the 2025 Book Awards Season. Skylark tells the story of Rachel Ryker, the first female Navy SEAL determined to dismantle the patriarchy from within and liberate women from global subjugation all while ignoring the fact that she’s in love with her best friend and second in command, Christopher Williams.

    VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Oct. 26, 2025 / PRZen / The Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) awarded Skylark, a Literary Fiction book, the Bronze medal for the 2025 Book Awards Season. Skylark tells the story of Rachel Ryker, the first female Navy SEAL determined to dismantle the patriarchy from within.When a stolen CIA malware code threatens national security, Rachel and her second-in-command, Christopher Williams, are sent on a high-stakes mission across the Middle East. But as loyalties blur and forbidden feelings surface, Rachel must choose between the Navy she swore to serve—and the man she’s falling for.

    MWSA member and author Megan Michelle comes from a military family and always dreamed of joining. A heart condition brought her military service dreams to an end so she writes as a way to highlight.

    The MWSA review said, “Readers of action thrillers will appreciate Skylark: The SEAL Saga Book One, although they will encounter variations in this example of the genre. Contemporary popular culture features many smart, beautiful, female soldiers, detectives, and spies; but in this long novel Megan Michelle gives more space than most authors to the emotional and psychological complexity of these figures.”

    Megan Michelle had this to say: “This is one of my proudest achievements. Receiving this award from an organization as committed to quality and craftsmanship as the MWSA is so validating to me as an author.”

    Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) announced the final winners at the MWSA annual conference and awards banquet in Kansas City, MO on September 27, 2025.

  • Move Hero Limited Announces Availability of Professional Packing Services for Homes and Businesses Across East and West Sussex

    Move Hero Limited Announces Availability of Professional Packing Services for Homes and Businesses Across East and West Sussex

    Brighton, ES – November 03, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Move Hero Limited, a trusted removals company based in Brighton, has introduced its dedicated packing service to additional areas throughout East and West Sussex. This development marks a meaningful step for the company as it seeks to address growing demand for secure, expertly managed packing solutions that serve residential and commercial clients in Crawley, Horsham, Worthing, Newhaven, and surrounding communities.

    Move Hero Limited, established in 2020, has steadily built a reputation for delivering reliable and carefully managed removals. While the company’s expertise in transporting goods has long been recognised across Brighton and the wider region, the decision to expand its specialist packing service reflects an understanding that the quality and security of any move often begins well before a lorry is loaded or a single item is carried out the door.

    Packing Services

    The newly extended packing service is designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients, from families preparing to relocate to new homes to businesses arranging complex office moves. According to Move Hero Limited, enquiries related to packing have increased significantly over the past year, driven by homeowners seeking to reduce stress during transitions and by companies requiring assurance that sensitive equipment and records will be protected during transport.

    John Ramos, owner of Move Hero Limited, noted that introducing the service to new towns directly responds to local demand. “Packing is often underestimated, but it is truly the foundation of a successful move,” John Ramos said. “Clients in Brighton have long appreciated having a service that takes on the detailed work of preparing their belongings safely. Extending this to more areas means more people and businesses across Sussex can access a level of preparation that greatly reduces the risks and complications typically associated with moving.”

    Move Hero Limited’s packing service involves a comprehensive process that starts with an on-site assessment. During this stage, trained staff review the volume and nature of items that require packing. This evaluation allows the team to determine the precise materials and techniques needed to protect everything from everyday household items to high-value office equipment. By planning the packing stage with the same level of detail applied to transport logistics, the company aims to provide clients with clarity and confidence ahead of their move.

    Once packing begins, Move Hero Limited’s team employs materials explicitly selected to guard against impact, dust, and moisture. This includes using sturdy cartons, protective wraps, and reinforced containers where necessary. Items are categorised and systematically packed, ensuring that fragile belongings such as glassware, artwork, or electronic devices receive extra care. Each box is clearly labelled to facilitate straightforward unloading and unpacking at the destination.

    The availability of this service is expected to provide particular value for businesses relocating to or within Crawley, Horsham, or Worthing. Commercial moves often involve sensitive documents, specialised machinery, or IT setups that can be difficult to secure without experience. The packing process implemented by Move Hero Limited is structured to ensure that such assets are safeguarded against common risks during transit, thereby reducing the potential for operational delays once relocated.

    Households across Newhaven and neighbouring communities stand to benefit as well. Many families undertaking local or regional moves identify packing as the process’s most demanding and time-consuming aspect. By offering a service that relieves clients of this burden, Move Hero Limited aims to make relocations more manageable, freeing residents to concentrate on broader preparations for settling into a new environment.

    The benefits of a professional packing service extend beyond simply saving time. Proper packing minimises the chances of breakage, loss, or other complications when items are not secured appropriately. According to the company, many insurance claims arising from moves are linked to improper packing by individuals attempting to prepare items without professional guidance or materials. By relying on trained packers, clients effectively mitigate such risks, enhancing the overall efficiency and safety of the move.

    Move Hero Limited’s service also emphasises transparent planning and communication. Clients receive a detailed outline of the packing process, including an inventory of packed items and a projected timeline. This systematic approach allows individuals and businesses to coordinate their schedules and resources more accurately, avoiding many last-minute challenges commonly associated with moving day.

    John Ramos remarked on the broader impact of the service’s expansion, emphasising its alignment with the company’s long-standing commitment to reliability. “Whether helping a family prepare for a new chapter in a different town or assisting a growing business in protecting critical assets during a move, the aim remains the same,” John Ramos said. “It is about ensuring that every client’s belongings are treated with the respect and care they deserve, so that the transition to a new space is as seamless as possible.”

    The availability of the packing service in Crawley, Horsham, Worthing, and Newhaven complements Move Hero Limited’s existing removals offerings. As businesses adapt to new operational models and households respond to changes in lifestyle and work patterns, the need for professional moving solutions that begin with meticulous packing has only become more pronounced. By broadening the reach of this service, the company strengthens its position as a dependable partner for clients across Sussex, navigating the complexities of relocation.

    Looking ahead, Move Hero Limited anticipates sustained interest in professional packing, particularly as many businesses undertake moves to align with hybrid working strategies and homeowners explore opportunities brought by shifting property markets. The company’s proactive introduction of its packing expertise to new areas underscores its recognition that effective moving services start with carefully protecting the items that matter most.

    This step to make the packing service widely available throughout East and West Sussex reinforces Move Hero Limited’s operational capabilities. It affirms its role in supporting residents and businesses through one of life’s more challenging logistical undertakings. By prioritising the security and organisation of possessions at the outset, the company helps ensure that each move begins on solid, well-prepared ground.

  • Hollywoodland Movers Officially Launches Professional Moving Services Across Los Angeles County

    Hollywoodland Movers Officially Launches Professional Moving Services Across Los Angeles County

    November 03, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Hollywoodland Movers, a recently established moving company headquartered in Burbank, California, is announcing the rollout of its professional moving services throughout Los Angeles County. With a focus on both residential and business moves, the company introduces dependable, customer-centred solutions that aim to make every move easier and less stressful. Although new to the market, Hollywoodland Movers is backed by a team with over 12 years of hands-on moving experience, offering clients seasoned professionalism from the start.

    Hollywoodland Movers was built on the idea of blending local insight with professional-grade service. Its all-inclusive offerings cover each step of the process from carefully wrapping fragile keepsakes and lifting heavy furnishings to loading, transporting, and arranging items upon arrival. Customers can expect punctual crews, transparent estimates, and attentive handling for a smooth, worry-free experience.

    “Starting Hollywoodland Movers has been a thrilling milestone,” said the company’s owner. “Even though the business itself is new, our crew carries over 12 years of experience in the industry. From the beginning, our mission has been to provide dependable, honest moving services that reduce stress through precision, care, and genuine commitment to our clients.”

    Serving communities throughout Los Angeles, such as Burbank, Pasadena, Studio City, Los Feliz, and Sherman Oaks, the company is prepared to handle the wide-ranging challenges of the area. Its services are designed with local factors in mind, including hillside residences, tight parking availability, and the fast pace of commercial districts.

    Hollywoodland Movers provides a complete range of options: home moves, office moves, full-service packing, loading and delivery, unloading and setup, and labor-only support. Whether helping someone move into an apartment, settle into a new home, or open a business location, the company tailors each job for efficiency and confidence.

    The launch coincides with growing demand for professional moving assistance in Los Angeles. As residents transition between homes and businesses expand, the need for reliable moving experts continues to rise. Hollywoodland Movers aims to meet this demand through dependable service, clear communication, and an unwavering customer-first philosophy.

    Each crew works with modern equipment, including moving trucks, dollies, straps, and protective blankets to safeguard belongings at every step. Beyond the physical tools, the company focuses heavily on planning and transparency, ensuring clients stay informed throughout the entire process.

    “This business has always been about more than lifting and loading,” the owner added. “It’s about earning the trust of the community, maintaining open communication, and giving clients the peace of mind that their move will be managed with respect and professionalism.”

    Early customers have praised the company’s service. One client described the movers as “friendly, attentive, and careful with every item.” Another noted that “communication and coordination made the day run smoothly,” underscoring the team’s dedication to punctuality, fair pricing, and meticulous care for fragile pieces.

    Industry observers note that Los Angeles presents one of the toughest environments for moving companies. Heavy traffic, parking constraints, and the mix of housing types from historic Pasadena properties to downtown high-rises require flexible, well-trained teams. For a new company like Hollywoodland Movers, success depends on proving its ability to handle these hurdles with steady skill and organization.

    Community involvement is also central to the company’s mission. With its base in Burbank, Hollywoodland Movers remains closely connected to local households and businesses. Whether assisting residents near Magnolia Park, entrepreneurs in Sherman Oaks, or creatives in Studio City, the company views itself as part of the neighborhoods it serves rather than a passing contractor.

    Hollywoodland Movers operates with the belief that moving day should feel manageable, not chaotic. Each team arrives ready with protective materials, dollies, and a clear plan. Consistent communication before, during, and after each job ensures a transparent experience. For the company, professionalism means not only handling belongings carefully but also building trust through reliability and respect.

    Looking ahead, Hollywoodland Movers intends to expand its presence as a trusted partner for both homeowners and business owners throughout Los Angeles County. By merging local familiarity with proven moving practices, it seeks to redefine reliability within the industry. Every move, big or small, is seen as a chance to demonstrate that transitions can be smooth, organized, and even positive.

    Hollywoodland Movers is now taking reservations for moves across Los Angeles County. Clients can request estimates and schedule services directly through the company’s website for easy planning and coordination.

    With its official launch, Hollywoodland Movers reaffirms its dedication to dependable service, aiming to help families and businesses throughout Los Angeles experience an easier, more confident move into their next chapter.

  • Unusual Machines Brings Orlando Motor Facility Online, Expanding U.S. Production Capability

    Unusual Machines Brings Orlando Motor Facility Online, Expanding U.S. Production Capability

    Thirty new hires and motor operations in Orlando mark next phase of U.S. production expansion

    ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / October 31, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a leading provider of high-performance drone components, today announced that its 17,000-square-foot motor manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, has commenced operations–marking a key milestone in the company’s expansion of U.S.-based production.

  • WhiteSands Publishes New Resource Detailing Accepted Insurance Options for Addiction Treatment

    WhiteSands Publishes New Resource Detailing Accepted Insurance Options for Addiction Treatment

    ORLANDO, FL – October 31, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab Orlando has published a new resource titled Accepted Insurances, available on WhiteSandsTreatment.com. The article provides clear, verifiable information about insurance providers accepted at WhiteSands’ treatment centers across Florida. This resource helps patients and families understand how insurance coverage can make addiction treatment more accessible while highlighting the transparency and patient-focused approach that guides WhiteSands’ admissions process.

    The publication outlines the range of insurance providers accepted by WhiteSands, including major carriers such as Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Humana. By clarifying coverage options, the resource aims to reduce financial uncertainty for patients seeking addiction treatment. Data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that nearly 75% of people struggling with substance use disorders do not receive treatment, often citing financial barriers as one of the primary reasons. WhiteSands’ resource directly addresses this issue by providing clear, factual guidance on how insurance can cover inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient drug rehab programs.

    WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab Orlando. Addiction Treatment Center, Orlando, Florida

    WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab operates multiple accredited treatment facilities across Florida, including its comprehensive center serving the Orlando area. The Orlando location offers a full continuum of care, including inpatient drug rehab, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient drug rehab (IOP). The treatment model adheres to evidence-based best practices, aligning with research from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which emphasizes the effectiveness of personalized, multi-level treatment plans in enhancing long-term recovery outcomes.

    For patients in Downtown Orlando, Thornton Park, and the Central Business District searching for “drug rehab near me” or “best drug rehab centers,” the Orlando facility provides medically supervised detox, residential treatment, and step-down outpatient support. Each level of care is designed to address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in a structured yet flexible environment. The program incorporates behavioral therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention, consistent with data published by the American Psychological Association showing CBT as one of the most effective therapeutic modalities for substance use disorders.

    The resource on accepted insurances also reflects WhiteSands’ broader mission of accessibility and transparency in addiction care. Many treatment centers fail to make financial information readily available, which can discourage people from seeking help. By clearly listing accepted insurance providers and explaining the pre-verification process, the resource helps patients make informed treatment decisions. The organization’s commitment to financial clarity aligns with findings from the National Council for Behavioral Health, which reports that improving transparency in healthcare costs directly increases patient engagement and reduces dropout rates from treatment.

    The article also connects insurance acceptance with the continuum of care offered at WhiteSands. For patients who begin with inpatient detox or residential rehab and transition to outpatient or IOP treatment, ongoing insurance coverage ensures continuity of care. This approach aligns with SAMHSA’s guidelines for long-term recovery, which emphasize consistent follow-up and community support. Patients completing treatment in Orlando and nearby areas such as Thornton Park or the Central Business District benefit from individualized discharge plans and aftercare coordination, ensuring stability beyond the initial phase of recovery.

    WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab continues to be recognized for its comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. Its programs integrate medical oversight, therapy, and relapse prevention planning, with outcomes supported by data showing that more extended engagement in structured treatment increases sustained sobriety rates. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) notes that patients who complete full-length residential programs followed by outpatient or IOP care are twice as likely to maintain long-term recovery compared to those who receive shorter or fragmented treatment.

    The Accepted Insurances resource further reinforces the organization’s commitment to making treatment accessible without compromising quality. Patients in Downtown Orlando, Thornton Park, and surrounding neighborhoods can use this resource to verify whether their insurance plan covers addiction treatment services before admission. The information complements WhiteSands’ emphasis on patient education, ensuring people understand both the clinical and financial aspects of recovery before beginning care.

    By publishing this resource, WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab contributes to a broader effort to make addiction treatment more transparent, evidence-based, and financially attainable. For patients and families in Orlando searching for “inpatient drug rehab,” “outpatient drug rehab,” or “intensive outpatient drug rehab (IOP),” the resource provides essential guidance on navigating insurance coverage and choosing the right level of care.

    WhiteSands’ continued focus on clinical integrity, patient accessibility, and adherence to national treatment standards positions it among reputable providers working to reduce the treatment gap nationwide. Through resources such as this, the organization helps patients take an informed step toward recovery while addressing one of the most common barriers—understanding insurance coverage for addiction treatment.

    Chantilly, Virginia – October 29, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    OneClickDIY, the authorized distributor of insulation and sealant products, announced the launch of a comprehensive educational initiative designed to help homeowners navigate DIY spray foam insulation projects as energy costs continue to rise nationwide. The initiative responds to growing consumer interest in home energy efficiency improvements, with recent industry data showing an increase in DIY insulation inquiries over the past year.

    The educational program provides homeowners with technical guidance on selecting appropriate insulation products, understanding R-values, and properly assessing their home’s insulation needs. As the only authorized reseller of Stanley insulation products in the United States, OneClickDIY has developed resources that address common challenges faced by first-time DIY installers while emphasizing safety protocols and proper application techniques.

    “With heating and cooling costs representing nearly half of the average home’s energy consumption, homeowners are increasingly seeking cost-effective solutions to improve their home’s thermal envelope,” said a spokesperson for OneClickDIY. “Our educational initiative demystifies the process of selecting and applying spray foam insulation, empowering homeowners to make informed decisions about their energy efficiency projects.”

    The initiative includes detailed product comparison guides, application calculators, and climate-specific recommendations for optimal insulation performance. OneClickDIY Spray Foam Insulation products featured in the educational materials include options from authorized brands such as Stanley, Kraken Bond, Sprayman, and Akfix, each offering distinct advantages for different applications and environmental conditions.

    Recent data from the Department of Energy indicates that proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20 percent. The educational resources address critical factors such as moisture barriers, air sealing, and the differences between open-cell and closed-cell foam applications. The program also covers essential safety considerations, including proper ventilation requirements and personal protective equipment recommendations.

    The company’s expansion into educational content reflects broader industry trends toward DIY home improvement solutions. Professional contractors report increased homeowner knowledge about insulation options, with many property owners choosing to tackle smaller insulation projects themselves while reserving complex installations for professionals.

    OneClickDIY on Facebook serves as an additional platform for sharing educational content, project tips, and seasonal insulation guidance. The social media presence allows homeowners to access quick tips and connect with others undertaking similar projects.

    The timing of this educational initiative coincides with federal and state energy efficiency incentive programs that encourage homeowners to upgrade their insulation. These programs, combined with rising energy costs, have created unprecedented interest in DIY insulation solutions.

    OneClickDIY specializes in providing comprehensive DIY spray foam and sealant solutions for both professionals and homeowners. The company offers an extensive range of products, including spray foam insulation kits, two-component spray foam systems, caulking tools, adhesives, and specialty cleaning products.

  • Elite Auto Works Advances Paint Protection Film Technology for Performance and Luxury Vehicles

    Elite Auto Works Advances Paint Protection Film Technology for Performance and Luxury Vehicles

    GRANITE BAY, CA – October 29, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Elite Auto Works, a Sacramento-area automotive care specialist, is implementing advanced paint protection film installation methods that emphasize the scientific properties of self-healing film technology, responding to increased demand from performance and luxury vehicle owners throughout Granite Bay and surrounding communities.

    “The evolution of paint protection film technology has transformed how we approach vehicle preservation,” said Ryan Schiller, Owner of Elite Auto Works. “Modern PPF incorporates elastomeric polymers that provide both optical clarity and remarkable self-healing properties, allowing luxury and performance vehicles to maintain their factory finish while gaining substantial protection against environmental hazards.”

    The automotive protection specialist has refined its PPF application processes to leverage the molecular structure of modern self-healing films, which utilize thermoplastic polyurethane technology to automatically repair minor scratches and swirl marks when exposed to heat. This technical advancement addresses the growing requirements of high-end vehicle owners who seek invisible yet durable protection for their automotive investments.

    The increased adoption of paint protection film among performance and luxury vehicle owners reflects broader industry trends toward preventive maintenance and asset preservation. Data from automotive care associations indicates that vehicles with professionally installed PPF maintain up to 15 percent higher resale values compared to unprotected counterparts, particularly in markets with challenging environmental conditions.

    Elite Auto Works utilizes industry-leading film brands, including XPEL and SunTek, applying custom-cut patterns that ensure precise coverage without visible seams or edges. The installation process involves comprehensive surface preparation, contamination removal, and controlled application environments that minimize the risk of imperfections during film placement.

    The company’s approach addresses specific challenges faced by performance vehicle enthusiasts, including protection against track debris, high-speed stone chips, and the increased wear associated with spirited driving. For luxury vehicle owners, the emphasis remains on maintaining pristine aesthetics while providing insurance against parking lot incidents, automatic car wash damage, and environmental contaminants.

    “Understanding the science behind PPF allows us to educate clients about proper maintenance and realistic expectations,” added Schiller. “The self-healing properties activate at temperatures around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which means normal sun exposure or warm water can eliminate minor surface imperfections without any intervention.”

    The technical specifications of modern paint protection films include thickness measurements ranging from 6 to 8 mils, tensile strength exceeding 4,000 psi, and elongation capabilities of over 400 percent. These properties enable the film to absorb impacts that would otherwise damage painted surfaces while maintaining transparency and gloss levels that match or exceed factory clear coat finishes.

    Elite Auto Works serves the greater Sacramento region, including Granite Bay, offering comprehensive automotive protection services that encompass ceramic coating, window tinting, detailing, and vinyl wraps alongside their paint protection film installations. The company maintains facilities equipped with controlled environments necessary for professional film application, ensuring optimal adhesion and longevity of protective coatings.
