Cindy Seip, Director of Book Design
Born with a crayon in one hand and a camera in the other, Cindy Seip has never ventured far from her creative instincts. Through the years, her creative side took hairpin turns but always finished with a checkered flag.
As an “A+” student in art, it was her 12th-grade art teacher, Mr. Popovitch, that set her on a professional course in design, introducing her to the Ft. Lauderdale Art Institute. There, she would earn her degree in Advertising Design.
She began her career at the Miami Herald Tropic Magazine and later started her own design + underwater portrait photography business.
Over the years, Seip has amassed an impressive client list with some high-profile names like Sony, Nasdaq, Ericsson, Blue Cross Blue Shield, AvMed, Miami International Book Fair, Breakthrough Miami, and many more. Her accolades reflect her keen eye for design.
Seip resides in sunny Miami with her husband, Miami Herald Photojournalist, Al Diaz, two great kids, and a cute Wheaten Terrier named Amanda Bubbles.

About the book: Is it possible to find love in a toasty square slice of pizza? Cesar Becerra thinks so. His shadowing of Miami’s Gourmet Pizza King Frank Paquarella in 1995 proves it. Frankie’s Pizza has survived hurricanes, development, half-hour delivery competitors and the ever-rising fast pace of modern life.
Still it sits on the same corner in Western Dade County as it did on Valentine’s Day in 1955, when Frank and Doreen Pasquarella began baking their pizza.
With more than 40 photos and countless behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this book will all but allow readers to taste a square slice of award-winning culinary heaven.

About the book: For more than 30 years, Manno Charlemagne has been the vocal conscience of Haiti. As a singer, songwriter, political activist and one-time mayor of Port-au Prince, he constantly challenged the status quo and stood up for the millions of poor Haitians who otherwise would have had no voice.
A soulful yet brazen balladeer, Manno for decades used his acoustic guitar and tender baritone voice as weapons against the brutal Duvalier regime and the civilized indifference of the insulated upper-class. A skinny, poor rebel from the slums, he was the little black fly in a cold glass of milk.

About the book: On Elda and Aristides’ journey through like there would be floors to sweep, churros to fry, hair to spray and roofs to lay, but all the work would pay off beyond their wildest ambitions. Their love of family, their sacrifices, their ingenuity and great success is a story rich in life lessons for all.
But as with so many Cuban refugees, before the bounty there would be tragedies to tend, abject poverty to overcome and a revolution to escape. Sometimes profound tragedy and poverty can kill hope, but in certain, very special people it can ignite a winning spirit.
