A new book offering for summer travelers and celebrities alike from Hollywood provocateur Mark Yoshimoto Newcoff described by Playboy Magazine as: “Imagine Howard Stern dropping acid with Trey Parker and Jon Stewart!” The magazine goes on to describe Nemcoff’s podcast-turned-Sirius radio show Pacific Coast Hellway as “the world’s most offensively enlightened podcast.”

Nemcoff’s show, taped from his car during an LA commute, had a good run until Sirius figured out what he was actually saying on the air.  Nemcoff, a former MENSA member who quit because, in his opinion, “the parties sucked,” used his acid wit to shred the topics that caused his blood to boil. For that, he was “accidentally” taken off the programming line-up but not before landing among the first to turn podcasting into a full time mainstream career. Nemcoff’s “twisted turn on the news” has since found another new media home.

Nemcoff now resides on Amazon uncensored as an award-winning, best-selling independent author/publisher of over 10 non-fiction and fiction works. His first Amazon chart-topper “Where’s My F***ing Latte?” instigated an exposé on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD about celebrity assistants [click on highlighted areas for video of Nemcoff]. Among others that followed: “PISSED OFF Is Better Than Being Pissed On,” “Admit You Hate Yourself,” and “Go Forth and Kick Some Ass.” He even wrote the first book about “The Killing of Osama Bin Laden,” and his newest may land Nemcoff in the middle of a DATELINE investigation.

This new book dares readers “to be aware” during the summer traveling season, and reveals shocking stories of unfortunate accidents and murderous outcomes experienced by the unsuspecting general traveling public such as:

• The 8-year old boy sucked into an unprotected pool drain at a major resort, leaving his mother crying out his name as security staff held her at gunpoint.
• And the 22-year old denied proper medical care after being pulled unconscious from a Cancun resort pool, only to have his dead body left in plain view for hours and his parents billed for his room.

Despite the title Fatal Sunset: Deadly Vacations, Nemcoff claims his newest book is not meant to do for vacations what ‘Jaws’ did for beaches. It is not a book to scare anyone from traveling, only meant as a “buyer beware” because “people on vacation tend to engage in riskier activities than they are normally used to. Hence, the parasailing newlywed who plummeted hundreds of feet to her death on the last day of her honeymoon when her harness snapped in mid-air.

Now that the warm weather is upon us and summer vacations are in the preparation stage, we thought this was a good time to share with your readers Nemcoff’s cautionary tales along with a few safe travel tips featured below.  To note: Nemcoff caters to the mainstream new media marketplace. Fatal Sunset: Deadly Vacations, however, debuted earlier this month the old-fashioned way, in paperback. It also immediately jumped to #2 on the bestselling Amazon list for travelogues. For new media readers on Kindle, Nook and iBooks, Fatal Sunset: Deadly Vacations debuts in the Amazon Kindle store and at Barnes and Noble for the Nook and iBooks next week!

In the meantime, here are Nemcoff’s Top Ten ‘Dare to Be Aware’ Safe Travel Tips:

Tip 1: Never assume you have the same rights, protections and access to emergency services in other countries as you do in your own

Tip 2: Take the time to check out any attractions your children may use before you leave them unsupervised

Tip 3: Always let someone know where you’re going and how long you’ll be gone. If you’re on a trip, make sure someone in your party knows when you’ll be back and check in with them if those plans change

Tip 4: Don’t assume that video cameras are there to protect you – They are only there to protect the interests of the property owners who may have a different agenda when it comes to revealing what those cameras have seen

Tip 5: Just because there isn’t a warning sign, doesn’t mean there isn’t danger – Use your common sense and/or double check your plans with someone who knows the lay of the land

Tip 6: Do your research – Any reputable company offering trips, excursions, tours will have a digital footprint on the Internet. Use Google to search for reviews before you use them

Tip 7: Be suspicious of anyone who takes too much interest in you or your family – If someone you really don’t know invites you to join them in an excursion somewhere, don’t be afraid to turn them down. There are worse things than offending someone who you will probably never see again

Tip 8: If going out of the country, check for government issued travel advisories for your destination. If the state department says someplace is unsafe, take heed

Tip 9: Being on vacation doesn’t turn you into Superman – Don’t try doing anything that may be more physically involved than something you would do at home

Tip 10: Always listen and be kind to your flight attendant – He or she has much more experience than you in dealing with onboard emergencies and situations. Their help could save your life!
