Amanda Eliasch’s latest book CLOAK & DAGGER BUTTERFLY

Here is one of our newest media releases:

A WANTON WORLD OF WORDS

Amanda Eliasch’s “Cloak & Dagger Butterfly” Strikes

Los Angeles, CA (October 20th, 2009) The Chipmunka Foundation, established and poised to become the world's most effective mental health charity, is championing a new voice in the literary world, and what a world of words there is. Amanda Eliasch’s Cloak & Dagger Butterfly-A Journey through the Madness of Passion Via Blackberry (available internationally L60.00), is a veritable kaleidoscope of emotion, seduction & intrigue, rivaled only by her arresting accompanying photography.

A collection of brilliantly scripted emails invented in the throes of longing-filled evenings, are exquisitely matched with Eliasch’s own voluptuous and breathtaking photograph’s, both revealing an eye and ear for beauty, nature and truth. These electronic “letters to lovers”, heavy loaded with imagery and humanity, easily establish Amanda Eliasch as an artist to watch for, the places she’s willing to go emotionally, and the magnitude of her smashing success.

As convincing (taken from actual emails) as it is persuasive, Cloak & Dagger Butterfly makes for an unusually arresting read. For women everywhere, Eliasch stands as a beacon of light in the dark forest of intimacy-as human as she is humorous, her authentic voice will decidedly become an inspiration for generations to come.

Born in Beirut, Amanda Eliasch is the daughter of celebrated writer and journalist Anthony Cave Brown and granddaughter of film director Sidney Gilliat (St Trinian’s, The Rake’s Progress). Always heavily engaged in the arts, she has flirted with acting, mastered photography, flourished in writing, and is widely regarded as an artist to be reckoned with. She has also recently developed a creative partnership with the respected gallery owner Enrico Navarro.

Amanda's affiliation with the Chipmunka Foundation is an obvious one, having lived through the traumatizing ordeal of her own father’s Alzheimer’s Disease, Chipmunka (set up by Jason Pegler and Andrew Latchford) has a revolutionary & visionary attitude toward mental health.

And another revolution takes place between the startling & sensuous pages of Cloak & Dagger!
