Veronica Roth releases FOUR: A DIVERGENT COLLECTION

/in , , , , , , , /by

Veronica Roth’s debut novel Divergent (2011) was an instant bestseller, immediately embraced by both teen readers and adults alike. Buzz of this new series spread quickly and the release of Insurgent in May 2012 solidified Veronica Roth as a new voice in Young Adult fiction; the book debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller’s list where the series has remained ever since. With massive critical and commercial appeal and unstoppable international buzz, the series skyrocketed in popularity. As fans geared up for the release of Veronica Roth’s highly-anticipated Allegiant in October 2013, SUMMIT Entertainment announced plans to make the popular series into a major motion picture much to delight of Veronica Roth’s loyal fan base. The DIVERGENT film starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet debuted on March 21, 2014, and grossed $56 million in its opening weekend. Wowing audiences across the country and enchanting fans of Roth’s action-packed series, the subsequent movies based on the books are set to release in coming years.

The DIVERGENT trilogy has become a major pop culture phenomenon and now fans have a chance to go back to the beginning with Tobias “Four” Eaton. With the release of FOUR: A DIVERGENT COLLECTION, readers and movie-goers can finally get inside of Four’s head and find out what makes him tick. FOUR is a collection of short stories set in Roth’s dystopian Chicago told from Tobias “Four” Eaton’s point of view. Each story gives readers a glimpse into Four’s past, his deepest thoughts and most profound moments, and the decisions of loyalty-and love- that he makes in the weeks after he meets Tris Prior. Also included are 3 exclusive scenes from DIVERGENT, except this time, they are told by Four.

Here, Veronica talks to us, during her integrated media tour in Boston, about her inspiration for DIVERGENT and how she was able to turn that small idea into a phenomenon.

About Bobby Dean: Growing up in a traditional Southern kitchen, recent newlywed and self-proclaimed “Georgia Boy” Bobby Deen went to work with his brother Jamie, in his mother Paula’s kitchen– when he was eighteen. Bobby, along with his brother Jamie and their mom, founded a small Savannah, Georgia catering business known for delivering “lunch-and-love-in-a-bag,” which grew into one of Savannah’s most-loved restaurants, The Lady & Sons. With The Lady and Sons firmly established, Bobby and Jamie began appearing to rave reviews on their mother’s cooking shows on the Food Network, and soon launched their own show on the network, “Road Tasted,” which followed Bobby and Jamie as they explored America in search of love and warmth-infused cooking. Both Bobby and Jamie Deen began to draw a new, younger audience to the growing number of Deen Family fans in America. Today, Bobby’s #1 show, “Not My Mama’s Meals,” airs on the Cooking Channel. “Not My Mama’s Meals” brings some of his family’s favorite Southern recipes to the table with his healthier, lighter approach to cooking.

Jane FondaFOR 18 YEARS, JANE FONDA, THE OSCAR-WINNER, PHYSICAL FITNESS PIONEER, BUSINESSWOMAN AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR HAS BEEN ON A MISSION TO TELL YOUNG PEOPLE ALL THE THINGS SHE SAYS NOBODY EVER TOLD HER.

BEING A TEEN: Everything Teen Girls & Boys Should Know About Relationships, Sex, Love, Health, Identity & More
BY JANE FONDA

Most people know Jane Fonda as an Oscar-winning actress, physical fitness pioneer, businesswoman, and bestselling author in her own right.  Her new book however, focuses on a cause most important to Jane, a passion project she has been involved with for 18 years–adolescent sexuality and development.   Notes Jane in the book’s introduction, “I wanted to write an honest book for teens that would be a frank and straightforward resource for them, for both boys and girls, and an aid for parents, teachers, librarians, and others, in talking about sex, health, identity and relationships.”

In BEING A TEEN: Everything Teen Girls & Boys Should Know About Relationships, Sex, Love, Health, Identity & More, Jane draws on years of experience as the founder of Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (now known as Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential).  In 1994, she founded the center to address Georgia’s teen pregnancy rate, which was the highest in the nation at the time. Jane sought to broaden the traditional prevention agenda to address the social circumstances that lie beneath the behavior, and since GCAPP’s founding, teen births in Georgia have decreased by 45%.  She also founded Emory University’s Jane Fonda Center for Adolescent Reproductive Health, which opened in 2000, providing additional resources and research to support GCAPP’s mission.

Jane Fonda is an Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress and highly successful producer. She revolutionized the fitness industry with the Jane Fonda Workout in 1982 and has sold more than seventeen million copies of her fitness-focused books, videos, and recordings. She is involved with several causes and is the founder of both the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential and the Jane Fonda Center at Emory University. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir My Life So Far and the #2 New York Times bestseller Prime Time. She received a Tony nomination in 2009 for her role in 33 Variations. She lives in Los Angeles.

Mitzi Dulan shows viewers how to use honey as an all-natural energy booster.

Mitzi Dulan discusses how she uses honey as an all-natural energy booster.

September is not just back to school, but back to routine for the millions of Americans who have said goodbye to the carefree days of summer and are returning to the daily grind.  From that second or third snooze in the morning to that long yawn during your afternoon meeting, getting energized for the day and keeping that energy is, well, exhausting!

America’s Nutrition Expert Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD, has inspired millions to lose weight, get fit and keep energized.  As the current team nutritionist for the Kansas City Royals baseball team and former team nutritionist for the Kansas City Chiefs football team, Mitzi knows one secret ingredient for a quick, natural energy booster—honey.  Whether it’s at the office, at school or after a workout, many Americans experience that mid-afternoon energy slump, and the majority crave something less than nutritious and binge on candy, sodas and other high-calorie foods. Mitzi was in the studio with us this week discussing how honey can play an important role in your day:

 

 

  • Morning wake-up:  what you choose to eat sets the tone for the day ahead.
  • Keep hydrated throughout the day.
  • Mid-morning crash: mix nut butter and honey as a dip for fruits or vegetables.
  • Maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day by consuming adequate amounts of protein.
  • 3 p.m. slump and afterschool doldrums: try Mitzi’s personal favorites (wink, you’ll have to interview her to find out!).
  • Pre-, mid- or post-workout: Learn to make your own budget-friendly drink and the perfect post-workout meal.
