Bestselling Author Dr Barbara Becker Holstein Announces New Interview With Award Winning Children's Book Author Julia Cook On Resilience And Self Esteem

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a bestselling author and visionary filmmaker who uses positive psychology concepts to help kids deal with bullying, anxiety, depression, loneliness, school shootings, and social media issues. In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face without sugarcoating it or downplaying the feelings or passions young girls experience.

All of us would agree that growing up has always posed significant challenges, but the modern day environment, particularly for girls grappling with body image, psychological stress, school shootings, lockdowns, anxiety, climate change and cyberbullying is beyond most kids' ability to cope. The traditional roles of parents, grandparents, and educators have been diminished, as many older adults struggle to even begin to comprehend these new realities. This disconnect underscores the need for innovative approaches to support the mental health and resilience of today's youth, ensuring they receive guidance that is both relevant and effective. How can we reach them? And, assuming we can reach them, what should we offer them?

We can't change the world. But we can teach young people coping skills that will serve them.

Resilience, which could be described as the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going in the face of adversity, is a cornerstone of mental well-being.

Self-esteem on the other hand is the internal perception of one’s worth and abilities. It is the core of a young person’s emotional health. High self-esteem enables children to approach tasks with confidence, take risks in learning, and engage socially without undue fear of judgment.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein recently interviewed award-winning author Julia Cook on her Resilence and Self Esteem Podcast. Their conversation was lively, serious and enlightening. Julia is nationally recognized as an award-winning children’s book author and parenting expert. Her books have been referenced in such publications as Parent’s Magazine, The New Yorker, Green Child Magazine, The Huffington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Yahoo.com, DrLaura.com and BabyZone.com. She has also been featured on CNN’s HLN News and local news shows in many major metropolitan areas.

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Julia became actively involved in teaching children how to ski, an experience that led to a love of teaching in general. Her Master’s degree is in Elementary School Counseling. While serving as a professional school counselor, Julia often used children’s books to enhance her classroom lessons.

"The truth is there are tons of children's books written," Dr. Holstein stated. "Why was I so excited to have Julia Cook on my new podcast show: Resilience and Self Esteem? Because Julia as a writer goes way beyond just stories for kids. She understands the psychological stresses that kids are under and weaves those stresses into her books in ways that help the children find the courage to go beyond their own moods and disappointments as they read the books. She teaches them to emotionally fly without needing the sky.

"Likewise there are many other devoted authors who have taught kids to fly as they read one of their books. Judy Blume instantly comes to my mind.In her books she has found ways to engage her girls so they are no longer afraid to face so many of the struggles of coming of age that we all have or will fash.

"I remember my sister saying to me that she couldn't imagine making it to adulthood without Judy Blume. Via Judy's books my sister and millions of other girls got comfortable with their periods, divorce, needing a bra, family life that wasn't perfect and so much more.

"I am so eager to have compassionate authors on my podcast. It is time to share their wisdom again and again. Our girls need our help in so many ways to lessen their stress and improve their mental health. A good book that accepts a girl where she is and helps her move forward is a major source of mental health care. Whether the author studied psychology or not. Just like a delicious meal or a wonderful day out you don't always need credentials. But you do need the right forces to come together.

"Let's make sure we bring the best authors and psychologists and others who have helped kids to the forefront. I can do that via my podcast and others can find their own way of helping our girls.

"I know as a positive psychologist helping a girl can be as simple as getting to know the kids on your block. I remember when I was growing up the lady next door took a pottery class and had made a bunny. She gave it to me out of the blue and I loved that bunny for many years. Being kind and inclusive is easy once you start it. I salute Julia Cook and Judy Blume for their courage to share their writing skills and wisdom with so many children.

Rare Interview With Highest Security Clearance Level Former MI6 Intelligence Officer Nicholas Anderson Now Available At The Authors Show

Anderson held the highest security clearance level a British intelligence officer could reach in MI6

More than ever the current political climate leads many of us to distrust those in power who make laws and decide on conflict engagements.  Is trusting them wise? How do we know they tell us the truth?

Because he is forbidden to tell the truth, Nicholas Anderson writes in his NOC Trilogy a fictionalized account of his experiences as a high-level UK MI6 intelligence officer running covert operations in many countries across continents.  He experienced it all first-hand and heard it all in intelligence and government meetings of his country and its allies. He knows that truth and stories fed to the public too often are poles apart, and he wishes for the public to better understand what goes on behind closed doors, especially about military and covert actions.

Nicholas Anderson, a pseudonym, held the highest security clearance level a British intelligence officer could reach in MI6 and for obvious reasons he must remain anonymous.  In a rare interview he discusses his books and the circumstances surrounding his telling it all in a fictionalized version of his exploits with “The Authors Show®” ’s Executive Producer, Danielle Hampson.  “When I reached overcover (retirement) only then did I think the extreme bravery of a small number of people doing extraordinary things and taking huge personal safety risks to protect us all, was not understood. It's not macho James Bond cliches, but normal people taking a deep breath and slipping undercover into war zones to keep everybody at home safer," says Mr. Anderson.

His need for anonymity combined with government eyes and ears never far away cause him to avoid conducting interviews and complicates getting his stories out to the world.  “Be prepared to have your preconceptions changed,” says Anderson.  

“It is in the spirit of free speech and the right for citizens to better understand how things work behind the scene,” announces Danielle Hampson, “that The Authors Show is making available this rare interview on its web page https://wnbnetworkwest.com/featured-author/Nicholas Anderson in audio and video formats.  The page also includes a written transcription which may be used – with proper credit – by other media outlets.”

About The Authors Show:

The Authors Show is a publishing industry podcasting pioneer, specializing in the production of author interviews since 2005. In its 15+ years, the show has processed 6000+ authors from around the world and enjoys a high internet ranking.

Exclusive Never Before Seen Interview With Coach John Wooden Offered During March Madness By Keynote Speaker Rocky Romanella Of 3SIXTY Management Services

A highly sought keynote speaker and trainer, Romanella is founder and principal of 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. He has over 40 years of leadership at Fortune 100's and most recently served as Chief Executive Officer and Director for UniTek Global Services, after retiring from a 36-year career with UPS.

To celebrate March Madness 2019, top motivational keynote speaker Rocky Romanella of 3SIXTY Management Services recently posted a never before seen, exclusive interview with Coach John Wooden.

John Wooden was both a very successful coach and a wise and beloved teacher. He achieved an unparalleled record of success. According to his website: Ten NCAA's Men's Basketball Championships, seven in consecutive years, 16 appearances in the Final Four, a record of 88 consecutive victories, 38 straight victories in NCAA tournament play, four perfect seasons, 8 perfect PAC 8 Conference seasons . . .it goes on and on. In short, he became a legend. But what is perhaps more important is his reputation as a wise teacher who clearly understood what is required to be an effective leader.

Bill Walton is quoted on the site as saying "Coach Wooden never talked about winning and losing, but rather about the effort to win. He rarely talked about basketball, but generally about life. He never talked about strategy, statistics or plays, but rather about people and character. Coach Wooden never tired of telling us that once you become a good person, then you have a chance of becoming a good basketball player."

Rocky Romanella of 3SIXTY Management Services LLC, a consummate leader in his own right, had the unique privilege of interviewing Coach Wooden. He has made that never seen before interview available in the Coach's Corner section of his website.

"As I left this memorable and moving conversation with Coach Wooden, my epiphany was the concept of Legacy. As we grow and develop, take on new challenges or simply move into a new phase of our lives, we will be faced with complications and adversity that may set us back. Honesty, perseverance, and trustworthiness will become major factors in overcoming these obstacles and creating our personal brand and our legacy.

"Along the way, we will come to a decision point. Our choice is simple but profound. Our choices are LEAD, FOLLOW, or GET OUT OF THE WAY. If we choose to lead, we will need to be an honest and trusted leader. If we are focused and ready to face these complex business challenges and personal changes with discipline, determination, honesty of purpose, and in an ethical manner we will be successful.

"Whether we realize it or not, we are all here to determine what our real intent is in life. For each of us it may be different. For each person it may be different: whether you are a spouse, father, mother, leader, or mentor; to have a legacy, it is important that we leave the place a little better than found it.

"Purpose-driven people put their morals, character, and honesty first. Without purpose, we drift. With purpose, we steer. You have a responsibility to yourself and to others to use your best judgment, weigh your options carefully, and make the right decisions—even if they’re not the most favorable or popular, even when no one is watching! When you do that you honor yourself and your values.

"Wherever your path takes you, know that your trustworthiness is your highest honor. That will be your legacy. As a person your core beliefs are not what you would like them to be, but rather what actually lives and breathes in you as a person. The good news is that you will have many opportunities in a career and in life to demonstrate these values and beliefs, but only one chance to get it right each time.

"Live your word. Leave a legacy."

The exclusive interview is available at https://www.3sixtymanagementservices.com.

Rocky Romanella, now one of the country's top motivational keynote speakers, in many ways, follows the general path of Coach Wooden, encouraging us to apply the concepts of Balanced Leadership to not only business situations, but many phases of our lives. His highly praised book, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership', brings rock-solid leadership advice to the forefront through an engaging and entertaining storytelling format. Many of the Balanced Leadership principles in the book also serve as keystone concepts in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.

Coach Wooden was a supporter of the Jimmy V Foundation and in memory of Coach Valvano, who passed away April 28, 1993, 3SIXTY is remembering Coach Valvano and his fight by donating one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for cancer for each copy of 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' sold.

In addition to 'Tighten The Lug Nuts', Romanella offers a wealth of information at the company's website, all at no charge. These include a dedicated podcast resource page and a new video library. These resources allow visitors to explore a variety of important concepts quickly. They provide professionally produced content that can be incorporated into meetings, company gatherings or can perhaps be utilized to create in-house presentations.

Romanella has garnered praise for his ability to connect to a wide range of audiences with his storytelling ability and innate charisma. Richard Snowden, President of RavenHouse International said, "An engaging speaker and facilitator, Rocky leads business executives to break-through results through break-through thinking." Conrad Swanson, Sr. VP Agency Development of Arpin Van Lines Inc. stated, "Rocky inspired many to look inward and improve the way they operate their businesses and lead their team members."

A winner of the UPS Chairman’s Award for Excellence, Romanella has created a legacy of motivating teams to achieve their best. He pulls in audiences with real life stories from an illustrious career spanning nearly 40 years at one of the most recognized and admired brands in the world.

Clayton Graham, Author Of Sci-Fi Novel, ‘Milijun’, Named As Finalist In ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards

Clayton Graham was picked from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show. His book, entitled ‘Milijun’, is a riveting sci-fi novel about mankind's first interaction with aliens

Clayton Graham, author of ‘Milijun’, has been named as a finalist in the ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards Contest. His honor came as a result of his appearance on The Authors Show. Clayton Graham was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process. ‘Milijun’ is a science fiction novel about human/alien interaction. An interview with Graham is also now available at The Authors Show site.

"Writing ‘Milijun’ was a fascinating journey," Graham stated, "and The Authors Show interview put the icing on the cake. Reaching the final round of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ put another layer on the icing, if that is possible [I'm no chef]. ‘Milijun’ may deal with aliens, but marketing them is something else."

In the storyline, Laura Sinclair and son, Jason, witness aliens descend to Earth. The extraterrestrials endeavour to form a symbiotic relationship with humankind, and Jason is chosen as a genetic link in a bizarre trial involving the impregnation of human females with hybrid embryos and exploration of spiritual compatibility.

Laura crosses swords with Major General Sebastian Ord from the Australian Defence Force, Eucla and Uriel, the enigmatic head of Milijun, a reclusive research facility in the outback. Following a disastrous armed attempt to capture aliens at Cocklebiddy Cave and a fierce confrontation at Eucla, Jason is abducted by an alien swarm.

What follows tests the resolve of Laura to the core. Caught in a relentless web of frightening new technologies and alien mystery, spurred by the undying love of her son, she gains a strength of character she never thought possible.

All she has to do is save herself, Jason and several women and unborn children from the scheming plans of man and alien alike . . .

"I hope ‘Milijun’ gets people thinking about the future," Graham concluded, "and the great treasure we have called Earth. I also hope it makes readers treasure their personal relationships; they are the most important things in our lives."

‘Milijun’ has received a large number of rave reviews. A recent Amazon review stated, "How to describe this book, other than say it is by far one of the most surprisingly addicting novels I've read in a long time . . . " Indie Book Reviewers said, "This book seems to have something of everything ... seriously. Action, drama, mystery, science, humor, suspense, creative and standard sci-fi and fantasy elements ... but I thought Clayton Graham tied it all together nicely in just such compelling, emotionally and intellectually engaging way. This novel will have wide ranging appeal - it is intelligent and complex enough and written with enough substance and finesse to please fans of sci-fi , fantasy and suspense thrillers who appreciate classy, polished, literary writing," and, "This was a captivating novel and I was stunned to read that this was his debut novel ─ it reads like it is written by a seasoned pro who is the master of his craft. There is such strong, vivid writing, and the characters are all fascinating, flawed, and going through their own drama. Great character development, and everything just felt 'authentic' for lack of a better word.”

Members of the public who want to vote for Graham in the ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards can access his entry and vote at The Authors Show site at http://www.TheAuthorsShow.com. Clayton Graham is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at claytongrahamscifi@outlook.com. ‘Milijun’ is available at online retail book outlets. More information, including a book trailer for 'Milijun'  is available at his website at http://www.claytongraham.com.au.

Profile:

Clayton Graham grew up in Stockport, near Manchester UK, and settled in Victoria, Australia in 1982. He is a retired aerospace engineer who has always had an interest in Science Fiction and where it places humankind within the universe we know and love.

Graham is currently working on two other novels, one being a sequel to Laura and Jason’s adventures in Milijun.

When he is not writing, walking, travelling, or gardening, Clayton enjoys fine food with family, friends and five energetic grandchildren.

Author Tarra Helfgott To Appear On The Authors Show On July 20, 2015

Helfgott is the author of 'Looking for Mr. Straight: A Guide to Identifying the Closeted Gay Men You May Be Dating'

Author Tarra Helfgott will appear on The Authors Show on July 20, 2015. Helfgott is the author of 'Looking for Mr. Straight: A Guide to Identifying the Closeted Gay Men You May Be Dating.'

Helfgott's guidebook helps women become more aware of an important dating issue: the closeted gay male who doesn’t know or want to know that he’s gay. First-hand tips and insights will help women recognize the key factors associated with gay men in the closet. They will then be able to apply these insights to the real world and learn to just go with their gut. As someone who has been through it, Tarra is here to reassure readers that there is something behind the feeling they have when "something doesn’t seem quite straight."

'Looking for Mr. Straight' brings the issue of closeted homosexuality to light and how it is complicating the dating lives of many women. In addition, stories, tips and insights can help women come to terms with their personal situations, whether they are struggling in the dating scene or questioning the sexuality of their partners.

“There is a common misperception that homosexuality is generally accepted in our society today and that gay men are no longer closeted," says Helfgott. "But the reality that millions of women face is that they are either married to closeted gay men, or are dating and becoming romantically involved with them. Women don’t have to struggle like I did and waste their time dating or staying in relationships/marriages with men who are struggling themselves.”

'Looking for Mr. Straight' has a 5 star rating on Amazon. Reviewers have stated, "This is a MUST read for any woman in search of her soul mate." and " . . .her pithy sense of humor and urbane style make for a great gal pal book group offering."

Tarra's show will be running at The Authors Show site on July 20, 2015. She is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at thelf26@gmail.com. 'Looking for Mr. Straight: A Guide to Identifying the Closeted Gay Men You May Be Dating' is available at Amazon and other book retailers. More information is available on her web site at http://www.lookingformrstraight.com and on her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Looking-for-Mr-Straight/189346951139579.

About Tarra Helfgott

Tarra Helfgott is a well-accomplished copywriter in the field of advertising and a magna cum laude graduate of Cornell University.

An Interview With Michielle DJ "Michi" Beck

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Michielle DJ "Michi" Beck. Michi is an accomplished writer of print books, ebooks, articles, essays, ghostwritten research, opinion pieces, and white papers. A prolific writer, Beck has produced thousands of short pieces in addition to her longer works, creating quality content under her own name and as a ghostwriter for others.

As an editor, she has worked with ebooks and print books, as well as articles, essays, white papers, and dissertations, in copy editing and substantive editing roles.

Her full-length books - both fiction and non-fiction - are represented by The Swetky Literary Agency and published through traditional channels as "Michielle DJ Beck." She also publishes online articles and blogs, as well as ebooks that are too short for literary representation and traditional publication, under the name "Michi Beck."

Ms. Beck is the author of SORRY, I THOUGHT I LOVED YOU, the groundbreaking new memoir/self-help title on relationship addiction - available in ebook and paperback from Chipmunka Publishing.

Tell us about this book

I wrote Sorry, I Thought I Loved You because it was something that I felt could make a difference in people's lives. The book is part life story and part advice from a professional. It covers relationship addiction and codependency, and provides information on the conditions, the symptoms, and the ways to get help. Because it gives a personal account and a professional account of the conditions, I think it provides something unique that readers won't find in other books on relationship addiction.

Who did you write this book for?

Anyone suffering with the same kinds of issues that I dealt with in the past. I struggled with codependency all throughout my life, and still have some trouble with it. I was a relationship addict, getting married and divorced 5 times in the space of 17 years. People don't have to go through that many marriages to be relationship addicts, though. There are many ways to be addicted and codependent, and people who have those kind of problems need to know that they're not alone.

Is there a central message in the book?

The central message of the book is hope. No matter what you've done in the past, or how many things have gone wrong - even if you made mistake after mistake - there is always hope. People shouldn't give up on becoming what they've always dreamed of being, and they shouldn't give up on being healthy. I'm no one special. If I can do it, they can do it, too.

What are you sharing in your book that will add value to the reader’s life?

I'm sharing my experience with codependency and relationship addiction. There are other books out there on the topic, but finding a first-person account of what it's really like isn't the same thing. This book is real, honest, and open about everything that happened. There are things in it that make me ashamed, when I look back on them, but I knew if I was going to tell my story I had to tell all of it. Readers, I think, will get that sense of openness - and I think they'll respond to that. Many of them can probably relate to at least part of the book and some of the events that take place in it.

What does it mean to be codependent, or to be a relationship addict?

Basically, it means that you can't just be yourself - often because you're not sure who you really are. Instead, you're focused on who you are in relation to everyone else. You're a wife, mother, daughter, worker, etc. You have to please others, so that they'll like you. You may feel like you aren't anyone if people don't like you or know who you are. When I was young I was very eager to please my family, and I wanted the other kids at school to like me. They didn't, of course, and it was extremely painful emotionally. Even today, I want to be liked - and I'm still very interested in my parents' approval. I've gotten better at understanding how to be okay just on my own, but it takes work every day. It's not something a person just "gets over" when he or she decides that it's time for a change.

What kinds of codependency and/or addiction signs should people look for in their own lives?

They need to assess their life from the point of who they're really living that life for. It's good to help others and do things for people they care about, but it's also good to be a little bit selfish sometimes. If you're too much of a people pleaser, and just about everything you do is in the hope of making someone else happy or making them like you, you're not going to have much joy. You need to look for validation inside yourself, instead of seeking it externally.

What helped you regain your life, and how did you know you needed help?

Music is actually what helped me, but it may not help everyone. Mostly, you have to want to get better and you have to find something that you're passionate about and focus your efforts on that. That "something" shouldn't be another person - or even something another person wants you to do. That interest has to be just for you, and it has to be something that deeply matters. Music is a good choice, but so is nature, prayer, painting, drawing, writing, or anything that appeals to the "you" that's trapped inside - the one that's just waiting to get out if it can get past all the people pleasing and drama that's been created around it. I knew I needed help for a while before I actually got it. I just kept ignoring that little voice that we all have - the one that lets us know we're making a mistake. Eventually, that voice became so insistent that I knew I had to stop and listen. My life was a wreck, and I was so miserable. I felt like there was nothing good for me anymore, and then I heard the music that affected me so deeply, and I knew there was more to my life than what I'd experienced. It was still a struggle, though. People don't like to admit that something's wrong with them, and I was no exception to that.

Can you "cure" codependency or relationship addiction?

I really don't think you can cure them, in the same way that I don't think you can cure any kind of addiction. If you've lived much of your life as a codependent person, you'll always have those tendencies. The most important thing is that you learn how to control the impulses you have to please everyone else and put yourself last. Relationship addiction can be difficult to address because people have to have relationships. They can't just live completely alone for the rest of their lives. Because they can't avoid the object of their addiction, they have to learn coping skills that will help to keep them from jumping too deeply into a relationship to quickly, or getting into a relationship that is unhealthy.

What forms of help are available to people in a situation like yours?

Self-help is always available, and people can also seek professional help through therapy. Being able to work with a therapist can help a codependent person or a relationship addict learn the coping skills that they need to have to function in the world of relationships. It can be hard to say no to helping others when you've said yes your whole life, but it's important. It can also be hard to feel like you matter if you're not part of a couple, but you can also learn that skill. Building your self-worth and self-esteem is a large part of that, because many codependents and relationship addictions crave praise and validation from others. They put very low value on themselves, and look for others to continually reinforce the idea that they matter. With help and effort they can learn to give that value to themselves, instead of needing it from other people.

What can people do to maintain healthy relationships?

In order to have healthy relationships, people need to realize their own worth. If they have no self-esteem or they don't think that they're valuable as individual human beings, they can't have healthy relationships with others. They're too busy trying to please everyone else, and they don't realize or know what they want for themselves. Healthy relationships take work and effort, but they're worth it when they can be found. People who have problems with codependency or relationship addiction shouldn't give up on having relationships that are healthy - but it's important for them to get help so they can recognize what's healthy for them and what's not.  

Are there other conditions that are common to relationship addicts and codependents, or that can make them more vulnerable to addiction?

In some cases, codependents and relationship addictions also have other mental and emotional health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Many of them also have very low self-worth and self-esteem, and they may have been abused or overly-sheltered as a child. That's certainly not true for every codependent or relationship addict, but it's not uncommon.

Most authors have one specific reason for writing a book. What was yours?

I wanted to make a difference. Of course, all authors hope to sell a lot of books and make a career from their words, but this book isn't about money. I already make a living as a writer. This book was written out of love for other people who are struggling and who might not understand exactly what's wrong with their lives. They need to know that they aren't alone, and that they can get better. Sometimes, just putting a name on something or seeing that other people are experiencing it and speaking out about it can be enough to make a huge difference in a person's life.

What is the part of your book you personally like best?

I like the joy that is expressed when I find the beauty and value of music. It's so nice to have found something that matters, and yet at the same time it seems so simple, and almost silly in some ways. Who would ever think they would have a life-changing transformation that was caused by German hip-hop? If I hadn't actually had it happen, I might never have believed it was possible. Everyone has something that matters deeply to them, though. When they find it, they should incorporate it into their lives in a healthy way. It can help them grow and change, and it doesn't have to be a big thing. That's why I like that part so much, because it shows that something very simple and completely unexpected can wake you up and set your feet on the path to being healthy and whole.

How important was research in the writing of this book?

All of the research I needed for this book was already in my own head. That doesn't mean it was easy to write, though. There were many things in it that were uncomfortable for me, and writing the book brought up a lot of old memories that I would rather have left alone. It was worth it, though. I've already been contacted by several people who have described what a difference the book has made to them, so that's been very encouraging.

Other than selling your book, what do you hope to accomplish with it?

I hope to reach out to anyone and everyone who's suffering from codependency or relationship addiction, as well as their friends, families, coworkers, and anyone else in their lives who needs to understand these conditions. I hope that these people will read the book and be helped by it, and that it will make a positive difference in their lives.

Who should buy this book?

People who are struggling with their relationships, or who feel that they have to please everyone else instead of living life for themselves. I did that for far too long, and I'm just now really learning how to live for myself. I know I'm far from the only person out there - especially when it comes to other women - who has spent too much of life trying to be everything to everyone else. I tried to be the happily-married woman, because I thought that's what society and my parents wanted. Each time I failed, I figured it must just have been the wrong guy, so I tried again. Eventually, I came to the realization that it wasn't the guys. It was me. People who read the book may see a lot of themselves in it - and that can help them make better choices in the future.

Where can people buy your book?

They can get the book from The publisher's website - Chipmunka Publishing - and also from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's, and many other book retailers. It's available in paperback and in Kindle format.
