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.
