Barnett Helzberg Jr., the former CEO of Helzberg Diamonds and creator of the “I Am Loved” slogan, has teamed with Dr. Rich Davis, creator of KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce and co-founder of KC Masterpiece Barbecue & Grill restaurants, to create a book titled I Am Loved: True Stories of True Love from People Like You.

The book, published by Addax Publishing Group, Lenexa, Kan., is a collection of nearly 150 original stories about love. The 300-page book retails for $12.95 and is available in book, gift, and department stores; online at Amazon.com; or by calling (888) 285-5786.

Helzberg and Davis are donating their royalties from sale of the book to the American Diabetes Association and the Alliance for Epilepsy Research.
