Janet Smith Warfield proposes that we can change the world in which we live through changing the words we use. She believes that through learning to do this we can develop strength, self confidence, peace, serenity and awareness. Shift took First Place in the New Age non-fiction category in the 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Awards
Seldom do we get the opportunity to meet, let alone interact with a person who has had a mystical experience. In Janet Smith Warfield's book, Shift: Change Your Words, Change Your World, we are offered a rare glimpse into the mind of an individual who has had such an experience. She invites us, through the words and the tools she uses, to interact with her, follow her into a transformed world and together create a world we’ve only before dreamed of.
Ms. Warfield’s mystical experience occurred unexpectedly as a young wife and mother. Her book Shift is aptly titled. Suddenly, just like seeing the other side of an optical illusion, her perception, words and emotions shifted. The shift changed her life forever.
Since the beginning of our recorded history, our greatest teachers have taught that when our external world becomes chaotic, turning inward brings serenity. Searching our own minds and hearts ultimately brings us peace.
“Most people,” stated Ms. Warfield, “have never looked at their own thoughts, feelings or words. Yet that’s where the answers lie. Shift: Change Your Words, Change Your World, can help.”“Shift,” Warfield continued, “offers simple and unusual word tools to stimulate our thinking. As we manage these tools using our own awareness and choice, we’ll notice our competence, clarity, strength, self-sufficiency, courage, and serenity increasing. We’ll watch our self-esteem growing as we take our power back.”
Today many of us have lost jobs, our homes, our life savings and even fathers or brothers in war. Shift teaches us how to refocus our energies. It teaches us how to release our pain, move on with our lives and channel our energy into caring for ourselves, those we love, and the things that really matter. To accomplish this, Shift teaches simple word and focus changes which provide immediate relief from fear and provide support for taking the next step.
“If we explode in rage, then retreat in guilt,” stated Ms. Warfield “Shift helps us channel that rage to clarify our values, indirectly change the people and situations we hate by directly changing ourselves, and make a positive difference in the world. If we are disgusted by other people’s ethics, words and actions, Shift shows us how to change others by changing ourselves. It helps us develop more satisfying relationships. If we are searching for meaning, Shift offers tools that help us clarify our mission and purpose on this planet.”
Ms. Warfield will be appearing on Authors Web TV through November, 2010. She is available for interview and can be contacted using the information below or by email at marketingdirector@wordsculptures.com. More information is available at her website.

Author Richard Palombi To Appear On The Authors Show Radio And Release His Second Book, The Geronimo Corndogs
Author Richard Palombi will appear on The Authors Show Radio on December 18, 2009. In his newest release, The Geronimo Corndogs, Palombi offers a hilarious look at three friends who meet John Dilliinger and find themselves on the wrong side of the law
Author Richard Palombi has released his new book, The Geronimo Corndogs, a hilarious look at the adventures of three friends who fall in with John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd and Billie Frechette. The book serves as a follow up to his first novel, Open The Door Richard.
The Geronimo Corndogs turns the world of gangsters and criminal icons on its head. When the fourth member of their bowling team turns out to be gangster John Dillinger, three lifelong friends find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Dubbed The Geronimo Corndogs by the press, each is assigned a mentor-in-crime from Dillinger’s gang: John Luther becomes the reluctant ward of Babyface Nelson and his over-protective wife, Helen Gillis. Reynaldo’s tutor, Pretty Boy Floyd, is forever getting the two of them lost on one ill-advised shortcut or another while reminiscing about growing up in the Cookson Hills, “the paste capital of the world.” Demoted to dog care duties for Dillinger’s gun moll, Billie Frechette, the bumbling Augustus soon finds himself reviled as a pet felon and the subject of a nationwide manhunt. Having Melvin Purvis and the F.B.I. hot on their trail was bad enough, but when PETSA and its legions of animal rights activists join in the hunt, the chase is on for real.
Mr Palombi was recently interviewed on The Authors Show Radio program. The program will run on December 18, 2009. In this interview he discusses his comedic writing style. He also talks about his past life as a joke and monologue writer, his street ministry for at-risk teens in Houston, Texas and his involvement in prison ministries. The interview centers around both of his recently released books. The show can be heard at www.theauthorsshow.com.
The Geronimo Corndogs and Open The Door, Richard are available at the Stonegarden Publishing website at www.stonegarden.net, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and at most large Internet book retailers. Richard Palombi can be reached by email at richardpalombi@sbcglobal.net. A third book, Big Son and Little Son, is due for release in 2010.

Holiday Stress And Anxiety - Mary Lore of Managing Thought Suggests Changing Thinking Patterns Can Reduce Stress and Bring Peace of Mind
Mary Lore, CEO of Managing Thought LLC and author of Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World?, proposes that stress reduction and peace of mind is achieved through learning to manage thought.
With holiday plays and parties to attend, cards to mail, gifts to buy, baking to do, guests to prepare for, and a slashed budget to boot, we may find ourselves tied up in ribbons. Yet “focusing on the essence of what you want is one of the most powerful ways of thinking to reduce stress and bring about peace and happiness during the holidays,” states Mary Lore, author of the multiple award-winning book and audio book, Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World?
"During these stressful times," Lore states, "we may find ourselves consumed with thoughts of worry, self-criticism, frustration, and even anger. Thinking about the essence of what we want, on the other hand, raises us to a new level of consciousness, gives us the ability to discover what truly matters to us, receive ideas on what to do next, and experience peace and happiness."
Lore, also an internationally recognized executive mentor, public speaker, and founder of Managing Thought, LLC – suggests the following practices to discover the essence of what you want.
1. Stop thinking, “I have to,” “I need to” or “I should” thoughts. As soon as you catch yourself thinking one of these judgmental – and exhausting – thoughts, restate your thoughts using the words, “I choose,” “I am committed to,” “It would be great if” or “I wonder how I can” and notice what happens.
These powerful thoughts help us relax, discover what we really want and open us to the many ideas on how to achieve it.
2. List everything you think you want to accomplish during the holidays, and ask yourself, “What does this bring me?” for each item. Keep asking and answering the question “What does this bring me?” until you get to the essence of what you want. If the essence of what we want brings us peace or inspires us, we open ourselves to the myriad of possibilities on how to fulfill what we truly want. If the essence does not bring us peace, then we can cross the item off our list or choose another way to think about it.
3. Take a deep breath focusing on the exhale and think “I wonder what truly matters in this moment?” Reinvoking the state of wonder is a sure-fire way to reduce stress, spark creativity, and keep us fully present and focused on what really brings us peace and joy.
Lore conducts workshops across North America as founder and president of Managing Thought, LLC, which helps individuals and organizations develop self-awareness and change how they think to attain long-lasting success.
Mary’s book has won six best book awards in various business, leadership and personal development categories. The most recent Nautilus Awards for Conscious Business and Leadership and Audio Books that Enlighten and Inspire place Mary with previous winners including Deepak Chopra, M.D., Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Published by Ferne Press, Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World? hardcover, Kindle, and audio book are available through online retailers including Amazon, Borders and Barnes & Noble and through the Managing Thought website. A downloadable digital version of the audio book with bonus material is also available at the Managing Thought website.

Managing Thought Leads To Being Thankful - Even In The Midst Of Tough Times
Mary Lore, CEO of Managing Thought LLC and author of Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World?, proposes that thankfulness is one of the quickest and most powerful ways to create positive direction and powerful change in our lives.
[ November 23, 2009 Detroit MI ] As we approach the holiday season, America faces some very difficult circumstances: unemployment, bankruptcy, tightening credit, loss of benefits, layoffs, small business closings, furloughs, reduced pay - or perhaps simply trying to make ends meet.
Many people are wondering how to be thankful this Thanksgiving season while in the midst of such tough times. “Practicing thankfulness is one of the most powerful ways to bring about a change in our circumstances,” says Mary J. Lore, author of the multiple award-winning book and audio book Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World?.
“During difficult times, we may find ourselves struggling with thoughts of fear, self-doubt, worry, anger and depression. Besides negatively impacting our health and vitality, these thoughts don’t move us in a direction that serves our purpose -- in fact, they make matters worse.”
"One of the quickest and most powerful ways to create a change in our circumstances is to practice thinking thoughts of thankfulness," Lore says. Lore states that thankfulness is one of the highest levels of consciousness, giving us the ability to see the myriad of possibilities, discover what we truly want, receive ideas on what to do next, and create and realize a vision for the future.
“When we practice thankfulness, a physical and mental transformation occurs. Our brains begin perceiving even more to be thankful for. We find ourselves focusing on our strengths. We’re smiling. Our spine straightens. The muscles in our face and neck relax and our breaths deepen. Our creative juices begin to flow and we get creative ideas on how to turn our situation around and move in a direction that inspires us."
Lore conducts workshops across North America as founder and president of Managing Thought, LLC, which helps individuals and organizations develop self-awareness and change how they think to attain long-lasting success.
She offers the following advice to practice thinking thoughts of thankfulness. Lore says that thankfulness takes practice, and just one of these practices brings dramatic improvement in our lives, our families, and our organizations.
1. List everything you are thankful for -- in your life, career,family, relationships, your body and its functionality, your strengths and skills, your
values and personality, your home. If you are a business, list everything you are thankful for with your customers, suppliers, investors, employees, the industry, and specific customers, suppliers, investors and employees. Be sure to find something to be thankful for with respect to what you may be most unhappy about. If we hold contempt for anything we wish to change, we actually block our ability to change it.
2. At the end of each day, work backward and think of everything you are thankful for from that day. Our spirits are lifted when we are appreciative of even the smallest things.
3. Take note of what you are thankful for throughout the day—before or after a conversation, a telephone call, a meeting or a new task, and be thankful for each experience.
4. When you catch yourself thinking a worry, self-doubt, anger or other self-defeating thoughts, take a deep breath, first exhaling deeply, and ask yourself “What can I be thankful for in this moment?”
5. See what happens.
Mary’s book has won six best book awards in various business, leadership and personal development categories. The most recent Nautilus Awards for Conscious Business and Leadership and Audio Books that Enlighten and Inspire place Mary with previous winners including Deepak Chopra, M.D., Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Author Emmanuel Opiah Will Appear On The Authors Show
Emmanuel Opiah's New Book Details How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World. The Author Will Appear On The Christian Authors Show Radio On November 25 and 26, 2009
Author Emmanuel Opiah believes that Barack Obama is being led by God to bring new hope to the world. His new release, How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World offers hope to the warring factions that matters could be resolved peacefully.
"Adverse publicity about President Barack Obama will not stop the Lord God Almighty Who made it possible for him to be there to keep helping him. Earlier on this year Arizona State University was to award President Barack Obama an honorary degree. The US media including CNN talked them out of it with their negative publicity. God showed America that He is in control and the Nobel Peace Price was awarded to the President, a higher honor than the former. This took the whole world by surprise; the US media could not stop it and could do nothing about it but complain thereafter. This was God in action."
"The former First Lady Laura Bush had commented in an interview a few weeks ago that President Barack Obama is doing well. She added that we must not forget the fact that he took on a lot as he began his presidency. In addition the press, in using Mr. Steel to run adverse comments about the President will only make the President rise higher in the sight of God and the world as God had elected him for a purpose."
In his new book, the author takes us through Barack Obama’s race to the White House. His message “Yes we can” was also taken to the whole world which aims to inspire and encourage a new generation, in particular African Americans, to believe in themselves and in each other. The author reveals how God demonstrated His power at different stages of the race while pointing out to us that, “He would take Barack Obama’s right hand and say to him ‘fear not I will help you.’” He enunciates how the Almighty God warned that America and the world should be still and know that He is God and that He created all men equal. Barack Obama’s religious standing, as portrayed by the author, shows his deep rooted adherence to Jesus’ teachings, “bless those who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you and be your brothers’ keeper.”
“I believe that the Lord God Almighty led me to warn America to be still and know that He is God. He is still in control. In my latest book I also showed how those who undermined God paid the penalty. If someone had told America at the start of the war in Afghanistan that they would still be there today they would not have believed this. Nemesis will always catch up with those who think they are greater than God and who run adverse publicity on President Barack Obama.”
The book is available at the author’s website at www.eopiah.com, at Amazon.com, AbeBooks.com, Alibris.com and at many other online bookstores. The author is available for interview and can be reached using the information below. Mr. Opiah will be appearing on The Christian Authors Show Radio on November 25 and 26 at www.TheChristianAuthorsShow.com. Mr. Opiah can be reached by email at opiahmanny@aol.com.

Just In Time for National Suicide Survivor Day, November 21: Educator/Child Advocate Helps Educators and Family Foster Children's Self-Worth
U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids - Growing My Leadership Garden helps children develop a "Leadership Garden Legacy' based on mutual respect, cooperation and teamwork.
When kids get depressed, the consequences can be severe—even including suicide. For educators, parents, grandparents, and caregivers facing the challenges of increasing children's leadership skills and sense of self-worth while creating a safe, supportive climate, the acronym, U.N.I.Q.U.E. may provide a handy toolkit: Understanding, Nurturing, Inventive, Quality, Unstoppable, Expression.
Each letter gets an entire chapter in Debra J. Slover's new book, U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden— a Who-Moved-My-Cheese-style parable designed to counteract depression and build self-empowerment strategies.
Taking one letter at a time, Slover walks the reader through creating and encouraging the life-affirming, esteem-building, leadership skills characteristic, and harnessing the six qualities together to form a "Leadership Garden Legacy" based on mutual respect, cooperation, teamwork, and other values. Kids who have been bullied may respond especially well.
U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids and the accompanying Activity Guide are designed as learning aids to involve the active participation of grownups who can read the book with a child (8-12), facilitate the activities in the workbook, and provide guidance and reinforcement in the Leadership Garden concepts.
More information on the Leadership Garden Legacy program is available at www.LeadershipGardenLegacy.com. Information on National Survivors of Suicide Day is available at the Leadership Garden Legacy blog. Ms. Slover can be reached by email at info@LeadershipGardenLegacy.com
About the Author
Author of three books and numerous articles, educator and advocate of creating a positive school climate, Debra Slover's leadership expertise stems from 20 years directing a statewide youth leadership in prevention/safe schools initiative in the schools, seven years as a classroom educator, experience organizing 20 state and national conferences, and running her own consulting firm for over six years.
A survivor of loss by suicide herself, Slover is available for interviews and presentations on how developing personal leadership skills early can help prevent suicide and related topics such as countering bullying and substance abuse in the schools.

Cold and Flu Season: Boost Your Immunity Through Self Awareness And Managing Thought
Mary Lore, CEO of Managing Thought LLC, proposes that learning to think healthy thoughts, versus believing we are certain to get sick, can boost immunity and lead to living a healthy life
Cold and flu season is here. Many of us approach this time of year with thoughts of trepidation and impending doom. Mary Lore, award-winning author of Managing Thought, notes that many of us act as if we are victims of cold and flu season and we aren’t. Lore suggests that we may be victims of our thoughts about cold and flu season. She “prescribes” a dose of self-awareness and a few new powerful thoughts to “boost immunity” and enjoy a happy and healthy life.
“Many of us think of the cold and flu season with certainty—as if it’s reality—and it is not reality,” states Lore. “It is the reality we have created for ourselves. We can start looking at our thoughts instead of from our thoughts and focus on what we want (good health and a strong immune system) instead of what we don’t want (cold and flu).
If you are thinking thoughts such as 'I get a cold every November,' or 'Whenever I get a cold, it always turns into bronchitis,' or 'When the kids come home sick, it’s just a matter of time before I catch it,' you are focused on what you don’t want. You are also instructing your brain to cause your body to get a cold every November, get bronchitis, and get sick with whatever your kids bring home. And your brain has no instructions to follow to help you cultivate health or strengthen your immune system. It’s too busy looking for evidence that it’s flu season!”
“When our brain receives instruction", she states, "it searches for opportunities to make what we want a reality, and if our thoughts are focused on getting sick, that can become our reality.”
Lore acknowledges that there are those of us, such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and others with compromised immune systems who are susceptible to colds and flu and may require medical advice, professional diagnosis, opinion, and treatment. The rest of us, she says, can start noticing if our thoughts are moving us in the direction of good health or not.
Lore advises, “When you catch yourself thinking ‘cold and flu season’ thoughts, take a moment to replace them with ‘great health and strong immune system’ thoughts and see what happens.”
Lore suggests that thoughts such as I drink eight glasses of water a day and I add lemon juice to my water; I wonder what vegetables I can eat for lunch?; Which cup of coffee can I replace with green tea?; and Where can I take my walk today and get some fresh air? keep us focused on what we want. “You can also choose thoughts," states Lore, "that focus on taking time to be quiet each day, relaxing, laughing, practicing thankfulness, or doing the things you love to do which help cultivate health and happiness. With self-awareness and powerful thoughts, we can lose the 'cold and flu season', boost our immunity and enjoy a happy and a healthy life."

Detroit Michigan Then And Now - From Boom To Bust
Erica Miner’s new release, FourEver Friends, offers an in depth, first person glimpse at the 60's era; an era that Boomer Detroit residents look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. She will be appearing on The Authors Show Radio on November 12, 2009
Though many people today think of the Sixties as a bygone era, Boomers hold these years dear within their hearts and minds. In the 60's Detroit symbolized the American Dream. Now all of that has changed.
On Labor Day in 1960, when JFK gave the keynote speech in downtown Detroit, the city was thriving. Businesses were doing well, education was well-funded and in top form, the city abounded with talent, especially among young people, and it was the all-important hub of Labor in the US. When Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and subsequently the city exploded into race riots in 1967, all of that began to change.Erica Miner's newest novel, FourEver Friends, tells the tale of four teenage girls set in 1960's Detroit. It is a time she remembers fondly.
"As a high school student at that time," states Ms. Miner, "I was full of hope for my city, my country, and my generation. I remember how wonderful it felt to anticipate the great changes to come. Since then my beloved city has been in a downward spiral, and with the current recession Detroit is hurting more than any other city in the US: the auto industry woes, the 15+% unemployment, are just the tip of this iceberg."
Originally Ms. Miner wrote the book as a love letter to her four ‘BFFs’ and to the school that gave us them an astonishing foundation that they were able to draw on. The book can now be seen as somewhat of a snap shot that captures a better time, lived in a better place.
In FourEver Friends, Ms. Miner takes us back to an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. The 1960's were a time of new hope and idealism that ultimately dissolved into volatility and violence. In a specialized inner city Detroit high school, four teenage girls have established the roots of lasting friendship. Their backgrounds are different, but their passion for classical music and angst over raging hormones link them irrevocably. The girls' school is a cultural melting pot of race and ethnicity in which students are judged by their intellect and talents, not the color of their skin or religious upbringing.
"As heartbreaking as it is for me to observe the troubles of the (no longer) Motor City," stated Ms. Miner, "I still see Detroit in my mind as it once was. My fictionalized memoir FourEver Friends, takes a trip down memory lane to a time when the Boomer generation navigated the waters of their adolescence against the background of JFK’s election, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the advent of the Beatles, and other major socio-political events. Even though some of these events could be considered in a negative light, those were the best days the city and the people there had ever experienced. This book will bring back fond memories of those times."
Erica Miner will be appearing on The Authors Show Radio (www.TheAuthorsShow.com) on Nov 12, 2009. FourEver Friends is now available at Ms. Miner's website at www.ericaminer.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble. She can be contacted by email at emwriter@earthlink.net.

Clever Sound Promotions LLC Offers Unforgettable Christmas Cards and Gifts for Employees, Clients - http://ping.fm/3w2yJ

Clever Sound Promotions LLC Adds Sound To Make Unique and Unforgettable Christmas Cards and Gifts for Employees, Clients and Customers
Holiday Christmas cards with sound modules allow organizations to make an unforgettable impression in the mind of customers this holiday season. Clever Sound Promotions’ unique products deliver messages using fully customizable sound modules embedded within the traditional holiday greeting card and gifts.
The traditional Christmas card, a flat, text based holiday greeting, is fast becoming a thing of the past with the introduction of ‘sound cards’ that allow organizations to both show and tell the message using innovative technology.
“This affordable technology,” stated Karen Ibach, CEO of Clever Sound Promotions LLC, “makes any greeting card, company announcement or direct mail piece literally talk to the receiver of the piece. This can really set a company apart from the competition in the mind of the client and creates a memorable impression that will not soon be forgotten.”
Holiday greeting cards are not the only promotional product that can be fitted with customized sound technology. In addition to sound cards, mailing tubes, key chains, flashlights, pens and magazine ads can be fitted with the sound device. Even the bell on the company’s front desk can be fitted to deliver a message each time a customer uses it.
In addition, point of purchase displays can now feature not only visual information but also audio information. Study after study has shown the increased effectiveness of sales pieces and displays that actively engage potential buyers beyond the simple delivery of a text message.
Sales organizations really stand to benefit by using this technology. Many of the largest corporations and companies in the world have begun to use sound module technology. In today’s marketplace the potential customer is inundated with so many marketing messages that the sales promotion pieces tend to blur into the background and are soon forgotten. It is important for any sales organization to make a one-of-a-kind, indelible impression in the mind of buyers. This technology accomplishes this goal. During this time of the year most companies send out traditional holiday greetings. These can also tend to get lost in the shuffle due to the sheer number of such messages. The sound card technology allows any sales organization to custom design a holiday greeting that will not soon be forgotten.
“Adding sound to a promotion,” stated Ms. Ibach, “adds a completely different level of emotion and excitement. Our clients have used everything from a Tarzan yell to catchy audio logos. Organizations are limited only by their own imagination and I will state that some clients have wild and crazy imaginations. They often get a much higher response rate than most other forms of advertising produce; as much as 40% higher. The real benefit here is that the audio promotion pieces get past the tough gatekeepers and directly into the hands of their targeted customers.”
More information is available at the Clever Sound Promotions’ website. Ms. Ibach is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at kibach@promoplace.com.

Astrid Harris, Author Of Unstoppable Confidence, Discusses How To Develop Self Confidence On Authors Web TV
Astrid Harris, author of Unstoppable Confidence provides specific strategies to develop self confidence and overcome the fear of failure
Astrid Harris, author of Unstoppable Confidence, will be appearing on Authors Web TV through October 12, 2010.
All people share common fears and challenges. From fear to depression, anxiety to a simple lack of confidence, these issues know no personal boundaries. They affect all people, from schoolchildren to business owners, from mom to corporate executives. The development of self confidence is a subject that is not taught in schools, but must rather be developed through life experience or training.
Astrid Harris has recently released Unstoppable Confidence. The book provides six breakthrough steps to help build self-confidence using case studies, exercises, assignments and empowering techniques.
“I wrote this book,” stated Ms. Harris, “to help people overcome negative feelings, to empower their actions by overcoming self defeating attitudes and change thinking patterns that limited the possibility of achievement."
Unstoppable Confidence provides information regarding how to develop a ‘Confidence Role Model’ to learn how others approach life and to model that in our own lives. It also details why a strong inner belief system is vital in building self confidence and clearly details strategies to overcome negative messages, whether those message come from ourself or from others. The key to developing self confidence lies in the choices we make.
“Today,” stated Ms. Harris, “having a high level of self confidence is imperative. People are trying so hard to keep their jobs or find new ones without depleting savings and avoiding financial ruin. These are all very powerful adversaries that can beat down someone's self confidence and self-worth."”
Unstoppable Confidence is available in both hardcover and e-book formats at the author’s website, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.. Ms. Harris is available for interview and can be contacted using the information below, or by email at astrid@polyglot-network.com.

Melissa Foster, Author of Megan's Way, Brings Unique View To Right-To-Die Issue on The Authors Show Radio October 12
Melissa Foster, author of Megan’s Way, wll appear on The Authors Show radio through January 12, 2010. Megan’s Way incorporates a story line that weaves mother/daughter relationships, terminal cancer, the right-to-die issue, paranormal abilities and lives intertwined through betrayal and secrets into a must read novel
Melissa Foster, author of Megan’s Way and founder of the Women’s Nest, will be appearing on The Authors Show radio beginning October 12, 2009. The interview will be featured on the show’s site and will be available through January 12, 2010.
Most great fiction writers give birth to their stories by looking within – within their own lives, within their own experiences and within their own heart. This is what sets good fiction writing apart from what we classify as great fiction writing. In Megan’s Way, Melissa Foster tells her story in such a way as to accomplish what all great writers hope to accomplish. She manages to bring the reader – heart, mind and soul - along with her on the journey. In Megan’s Way, she asks us to answer a question: ‘What would you give up for the people you love?’
Megan Taylor’s cancer has returned. As a single mother to teenaged Olivia, she’s faced with the most difficult decision she’s ever had to make. When Olivia’s internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal connection they share might not be enough to save her. Years of betrayal come back to haunt Holly, Megan’s best friend. Can secrets be revealed without destroying everyone in their wake?
“Megan’s Way was born from an event with my mother many years ago,” stated Ms. Foster, “that festered and nagged at me. I felt compelled to write about Megan’s journey with cancer and the unconventional decision that she makes with regard to her treatments because I believe that the her plight is one that, unfortunately, many people fall prey to. Often times, people are judged harshly for making decisions that are right for them and often best for their family members as well. I wanted to give a voice to those who face these horrific decisions, and give a sense of hope to those that have lost loved ones.”
Ms. Foster has been featured in newspapers and magazines all over the country, including Infinite Field Magazine, The Maryland Gazette and the Monocacy Monacle. In addition to her appearance on The Authors Show, during the upcoming months she will be appearing on LibraryThing, GoodReads, the Gaithersburg Newcomers Group (MD) and SP Book Expo (NYC). She will also be appearing as a guest on numerous book blogs.
“I hope,” stated Ms. Foster, “readers come away with feelings of faith (not religiously affiliated), understanding, and empathy. There are enormous secrets that lie between the characters—some exposed, some unexposed, at the story’s end. I’d like to think that readers recognize that what compels a person to make decisions in their life may not always be wholly evident, and that while you may not agree with decisions made by others, perhaps they should not judge too quickly, and to accept and forgive for things they may not understand.”
Melissa Foster is available for interview by using the contact information below or by email at thinkhappy@live.com. Megan’s Way is available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, most online booksellers and at Borders in Maryland.

I Love Brett Favre. I Hate Brett Favre. Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers Fans Can’t Decide
Group offers football fan survey, a new video, an opportunity to send letters to Brett Favre, and a chance to help the Special Olympics
Brett Favre has made some people laugh. He has made some people cry. Fans have mourned his retirement and rejoiced in his comeback. He has become one of football’s greatest favorites and, at the same time, one of the most disliked and misunderstood players in the game. Like the man himself, the controversy surrounding his career decisions and his move from the Packers to the Vikings has become the stuff of local and national legend. The question his fans and former fans ask is “Should we love Brett Favre? Or should we hate Brett Favre?” It is a question not easily answered.
The co-authors of “Letters To Brett Favre – A Fan Tribute” are offering fans a chance to voice their opinions regarding Brett Favre’s career. The group recently posted a survey that will allow fans to voice their feelings, and they are also collecting letters from Packer and Viking fans alike. Brett Favre fans will have a real opportunity to make their feelings known, and their personal messages will passed along to Brett himself.
‘We decided to do this at this time because we want the fans to have an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings about this latest chapter in Brett’s career,” Erick Rolfson said. “We also feel it is important that fans know their messages will actually be delivered to Brett.”
"Letters to Brett Favre: A Fan Tribute" includes messages from fans in Wisconsin, New York, the rest of the nation, and the globe. Ten chapters each offer an essay about the three-time-MVP and aspects of his career - including a never before told account of his greatest game, his retirement and return to the game he loves so much, followed by letters from fans. Some are funny, some are poignant - but all have one thing in common: they highlight what Brett's toughness, courage, and love of the game have meant to his fans.
Fans can voice their opinions at the group’s website, www.LettersToBrettFavre.com. They can also view the group’s new Brett Favre video, send a letter to Brett and get further information regarding “Letters To Brett Favre, A Fan Tribute.” The group guarantees that letters submitted to the site will be delivered to Brett. A portion of all sales from the book will be donated to Special Olympics.
"We invite all football fans to make their voices heard, no matter how they feel about Brett," said Thomas Hapka. “We want to provide a true representation of the pulse of the fans through the letters collected.”

Dr. Joyce Teal Releases New Book, Young Sister It's Not Okay, A Guide To Appropriate Adolescent Behavior
Dr. Joyce Teal’s 'Young Sister, It's Not Okay' provides tips to encourage appropriate behavior in girls age 11 through 18
Getting off to a good start early is the key to success in life. However, many of today’s young girls have been born to teen and preteen mothers who were themselves young girls when they gave birth. Because this is so, by the time these girls reach age 11, they have perhaps not had the benefit of a mature outlook and expectations during their developmental process. Dr. Joyce Teal has just released 'Young Sister, It's Not Okay'. The book was written to provide a framework for dialogue and teaching. It is appropriate for youth groups and church groups and others.
"I decided to write this book at this time," stated Dr. Teal, "because there are lots of girls between the ages of 11 and 18, the age group for whom the book is targeted, who do not have the advantage of being reared by mature parents who are knowledgeable regarding the book's content. Many of these girls were born to teen, and some even to pre-teen mothers who are little more than children themselves. It is my desire and hope that many of these girls and their parents will find the book helpful."
“Young Sister, It’s Not Okay” discusses the following which are also the thirteen chapter titles:
* Inappropriate Dress
* Co-habitation Prior to Marriage
* Having Sex While Courting
* Unmarried and Having a Baby
* Dating a Married Man
* Disrespecting/Dishonoring Yourself and Others
* Female-to-Female Sexual Relationships
* Dating Mature, Experienced Men
* Drug and Alcohol Use
* Yielding to Negative Peer Pressure
* Rude, Disrespectful Speech
* Love is not Enough
* Body Art; Body Piercing
"It is my sincere hope," stated Dr. Teal, "that this book will inspire dialogue between parents and daughters. Additionally, it will validate parents' teachings regarding behaviors that their daughters should avoid."
Dr. Teal is available for interview and can be reached using the contact information below. All of her books are available at her website, www.untealthen.com. “Young Sister, It’s Not Okay” can also be ordered from Jokae’s Books in Dallas and from major bookstores across the country.

PROFILE
Joyce Willard Teal is a graduate of Prairie View A&M University. She is an award-winning retired teacher. She has taught school in Dallas for six years, but her career path has taken her through New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Virginia where she taught community college and reading/language arts to boys and girls in the public schools.
Mrs. Teal began writing professionally in 1993 and has had several award-winning poems published. Her first book, It’s O.K. To Be Different, was written for boys and girls between the ages of nine and fifteen, but has universal appeal and is being read by children as well as adults. It is now in its fourth printing.
The Point System, a book targeted for children in the middle grades and their parents, was released by Ozark Press in November, 1998. It was illustrated by children in the author’s reading classes at Florence Middle School in Dallas, TX.
Sister, Its Not Okay was Dr. Teal’s first adult, non-fiction title. Like her other two books, it was inspired by her interactions with children and their parents as she has traveled and taught throughout this country.
The Yield, another adult, nonfiction, was released in December, 1999. It is about black couples, their failed or failing relationships, and the impact this has on the children who result from these relationships.
MotorVation, a book of original poems and other writings released in November 2002, was written in response to hundreds of requests for the poems the author has shared as she has spoken to audiences throughout the country.
Don’t Sweat It Kid is Volume 1 of a the trilogy. The three volumes contain 100 topics relevant to the lives of adolescents. Volume 1 contains topics 1-33; Volume 2 contains topics 34-65; Volume 3 contains topics 66-100. The trilogy was written for young people between the ages of eleven and eighteen, (middle grade through high school). It focuses on topics relevant to their lives and discusses positive ways to help them cope with situations they face day to day.

* Insurance Tips
* Early Warning Devices
* Practicing An Escape
* Meeting Places
* Fire Extinguishing Systems

The 9-12 Project Show Announces Interview Lineup For The Week Of September 21, 2009
Each week, the 9-12 Project Show features interviews with political guests from across the country
Every week, The 9-12 Project Show features interviews with candidates for public office from across the country. This week Danielle Hampson, host of the show, features an interview with Doug Hoffman, candidate for US Congress in New York.
"The 9-12 Project Show", stated Ms. Hampson, "has no political party affiliation. It is about 'Americans First' and about bringing true leadership that represents 'We The People' so that we create a 'government by the people', rather than a 'government by the elite'. As we move closer to the 2010 election, the 9-12 Project Show hopes to feature candidates who adopt and live by the 9 Principles and 12 Values as set forth by the 9-12 Project launched by Glenn Beck early 2009. The 9-12 Project Show is an all volunteer effort."
"The goal of the show is to offer 9-12 candidates from around the country a platform to get their message to the public in a professional interview format. Questions and answers are about the candidates, their background, what they stand for, their platform, their short and long term objectives and how they plan to achieve them. Our current President very cleverly leveraged the power of the Internet during his campaign to get to the masses, and we need to learn from that lesson. As an entrepreneur who owns and operates an online radio/TV production & broadcasting business, I am able to offer to put the Internet media means at my disposal to help leverage that same power, in order to regain our country by putting the proper leadership in
place in 2010."
Upcoming interviews include Rick Flanigan, candidate for US Congress in Oklahoma, Rosanna Pulido, candidate for US Congress in Illinois, Bernard Sansaricq, candidate for US Congress in Florida, Dave Westlake, candidate for US Senate in Wisconsin, Matt Sakalosky, candidate for US Congress in Nebraska and Jake Towne, candidate for US Congress in Pennsylvania.

Debt Settlement And Debt Consolidation - Uninformed Consumers Can Lose Big Says Damon Day - http://ping.fm/Ujqdd

Debt Consolidation And Debt Settlement: Uninformed Consumers Can Lose Big Says Damon Day Of Damon Day And Associates
Hiring a debt settlement company can be a recipe for disaster. Negotiating credit card debt requires knowledge beyond what most of us possess. Layoffs, downsizing and the poor economy have dramatically increased the number of bankruptcy filings. Many consumers find it increasingly difficult to obtain unbiased and impartial advice.
Damon Day believes consumers do not get the kind of impartial advice they need to make informed decisions about debt consolidation, debt settlement and other credit issues. For this reason, he has founded Damon Day and Associates, an independent consulting firm that hopes to provide impartial, common sense advice without subjecting the consumer to the high pressure sales tactics used by most debt settlement companies. He is offering a no charge video presentation that will help consumers avoid taking actions that may have disastrous consequences.
“Today, more than any time in recent history,” said Mr. Day, “there is a tremendous need for consumers to have access to good, honest, financial advice. My number one priority is to educate clients about all the options available to them, not just those recommended by a particular company or firm that may or may not have their best interests at heart. I get great satisfaction when I save someone from making a big mistake.”
“At Damon Day and Associates, we attempt to cut through all the sales and marketing tactics for our clients. We hope to inform the consumer about not just some, but all of the options available. We expose the predatory tactics of the so called "debt help" companies that are just out to make a quick buck off of misinformed consumers. These companies typically do not have an incentive to actually provide the consumer with independent advice regarding the best solutions. On the contrary, they often have but one objective; to sign people up on their program. We strive to cut through all of this for our clients and offer them real solutions that work for them, rather than against them.”
There are many options for consumers who struggle today under the burden of a crushing debt load. These include debt rollup, debt consolidation loans, credit counseling services, negotiating settlements for less than the full amount, bankruptcy and, surprisingly perhaps, doing nothing at all. Which of these options is best?
“It depends completely,” said Mr. Day, “on the individual’s specific situation. That’s where we can be of real service as our clients can rest assured they are getting an objective analysis of all the options available to them.”
Mr. Day is available for interview by contacting him using the information below. More information, including the no charge video presentation, is available at the company website.
Profile:
Damon Day has a degree in Business/Finance and has been assisting consumers dealing with overwhelming debts for almost a decade. He is passionate about educating consumers in regards to all debt settlement options.
His company, Damon Day and Associates, provides impartial objective advice to clients in regards to how they might make informed decisions by becoming aware of all the options available to them.

Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, Releases The Alphatude Attitude: Your Dog Wants You To Lead
In her new book, Ami Moore describes how people with problem dogs are perhaps dogs with problem people. She describes how the baggage people bring to their human relationships is the same baggage they bring to their relationship with their dog.
Ami Moore, the Chicago Dog Coach, recently released The Alphatude Attitude. The book reveals how a dog owner’s mental and emotional states and behaviors influence a dog for good or for evil. Ami Moore has found that the baggage that people bring to their relationships with people is exactly the same baggage that they bring to their relationship with their dog.
“Every client who calls me” stated Ms. Moore, “has the same needs; they want the pain to stop. It might be the pain of living with a dog that is not potty trained or the pain of living with a dog that is biting children. I tell every client the same thing. You really don’t have a dog problem--you have a dog with a people problem. The Alphatude Attitude will help loving dog owners understand that their dog’s behavior is a reflection of their own energy and attitude. If a dog owner transmits ‘Alphatude’, the owner will have a great dog with very little effort. On the other hand, if a dog owner transmits ‘Losertude’, the owner is going to have major problems.”
Ami Moore is widely recognized as one of America’s leading dog training masters. She has dovetailed her love of learning, her coaching skills and her love of dogs into the creation of a vibrant company that has enabled her to create harmony between homeowners and dogs in homes all over America. With over 20 years of experience in the field she invests a tremendous amount of time giving back to the community. As a dog trainer, personal coach and therapist, she assists non-profit organizations in creating and implementing therapy/service dog programs in schools, churches, community centers, prisons and other businesses.
Her first and true love however is canine behavior modification and problem solving. Ms. Moore has pioneered the use of electric dog training equipment as positive reinforcement, and combined this groundbreaking innovation with motivating dog's natural drive to follow a strong leader.
The Chicago Dog Coach employs a unique three point-intervention plan for dog-owner education and rehabilitation.
* The first foundational element is dog psychology which deals with the internal and instinctual aspects of the dog and owner or ‘Alphatude’.
* The second foundational element is dog training or ‘Amiability’ which teaches the dog the meaning of words. Dogs can’t succeed in the world if they remain ignorant of human language.
* The third foundational element is Activity; meaningful interaction that combines the elements of affection and ‘Alphatude’.
“I always tell my clients,” stated Ms. Moore, “that their dogs need leadership more than love. ‘Alphatude’ is the leadership attitude expressed in a way that the dog understands. Dogs don’t really understand abstractions like words or emotions. Dogs understand concrete communication: tone, body language and facial expression. For some people this is a difficult concept. I tell them not to worry. Just fake it until you make it!”
Ami Moore has been featured in numerous industry publications, magazines and newspapers across the country. She is available for interview and speaking engagements. She can be reached by email at chicagodogcoach@gmail.com. More information is available at the company’s website. The Alphatude Attitude is available at the AuthorHouse website listed below.
