VALENTINE SIGNS BOOK DEAL ON VALENTINE'S

NASHVILLE, TN - Cumberland House Publishing is pleased to announce that local radio talk-show host, Phil Valentine, has contracted a book with the Nashville publisher.  Valentine and Cumberland House signed the publishing contract on February 14th, 2003, Valentine's Day. 

"I have been impressed for a long time at the wide range of topics that Valentine can discuss intelligently.  I think the time is right to put those ideas into a book," Cumberland House president and publisher, Ron Pitkin, stated.  Valentine's non-fiction title Right From the Heart: The ABCs of Reality in America is set for release this fall.

"One of the objectives for both parties was to build a win-win relationship in which CHP and Valentine could benefit from initially and long-term," Pitkin said.

Phil Valentine can be heard on Nashville radio station NewsRadio 1510WLAC Monday thru Friday from 2PM-6PM Central.  The conservative talk-show personality garnered national attention last year during the state budget crisis by leading Tennesseans in a tax revolt.  National Review magazine called Valentine "a relentless foe of the proposed tax."  Recently, the Sons of the American Revolution awarded Valentine with the Bronze Good Citizenship Medal for his work regarding the tax issue.

Cumberland House Publishing has created a strong presence in the book industry with a New York Times bestseller and numerous critically-acclaimed titles.
