CHANDLER, Ariz. - Oct. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- CHANDLER (AZ)—Brighton Publishing LLC proudly announces author Janet S. Kleinman’s acceptance of Brooklyn College’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Recognized for her distinguished accomplishments, author Janet S. Kleinman, author of the romantic drama, “Flirting with Disaster: When Love & Nature Collide,” receives Brooklyn College’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Flirting with Disaster: When Love & Nature Collide (http://www.amazon.com/Flirting-Disaster-Nature-Collide-ebook/dp/B007PJG5LC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) is currently distributed in print through Ingram, the world’s largest book distributor, and is available in both print and eBook formats from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and worldwide on demand from the Espresso Book Machine.

For nearly a century, some of history’s finest writers have graced the hallowed halls of the world renowned Brooklyn College. From Pulitzer Prize winning author Frank McCourt for his remarkable novels Angela’s Ashes and ’Tis, to the storytelling charm of Irwin Shaw and his classic tale Rich Man, Poor Man—another name is now added to the list of noteworthy alumni—Janet S. Kleinman and her romantic drama, Flirting with Disaster: When Love & Nature Collide.

Upon receiving her Lifetime Achievement Award, Ms. Kleinman responded with high praise for Brooklyn College and spent a few moments highlighting her foundation for a successful life and career—“…a cultured upbringing, and global opportunities regardless of gender or social station.”

In Flirting with Disaster: When Love & Nature Collide, the beautiful and charming Gloria is about to set out on a new path, and for the recent widow, changing directions later in life is easier said than done. Very soon, she will find not one—but three—handsome men vying for her attention, and in the most unlikely of places.

When an earthquake hits his homeland, Henri, a Haitian ex-patriot urges his friend Gloria to travel with him to Haiti to help establish a school for abandoned children. Forty years after their first kiss, former high-school boyfriend, Mickey, calls and wants Gloria back—this time though, he’s willing to follow her to Haiti to prove it.

Meanwhile, in Port au Prince, another man personifies both the power and influence capable of changing Gloria’s life forever—retired United States Senator Lance Carter. The well-connected Senator presides over a relief commission currently funded by Americans for the ravaged Haitian population.

Now, Gloria’s difficulty resides with a single decision—which man is her “Mister Right?”

Since its founding in 1930, Brooklyn College (http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/home.php) has excelled at providing a high-quality, affordable education to students of diverse backgrounds. Throughout the decades, the college has adapted to our changing world and to the educational needs of Brooklyn, New York City, and the nation by establishing innovative programs, creating new academic facilities, renovating buildings, expanding technology support, and improving the infrastructure for academic support services.

She currently makes her home in South County Florida where she and her husband play tennis, bridge, and visit their children and grandchildren whenever they can. After years of teaching and working for Fortune 500 companies, she has now retired and is embracing her first love—writing.
