'Wisdom In Action' encapsulates his philosophy and presents his holistic approach in a practical, easy to read format.
"I wrote this book," stated Mr. Gutierrez, "because it will help readers improve their self-confidence and their intimate relationships. It will also help readers understand their emotions, mind, body, and soul, and will help them understand others. It will also explain one's spirituality and how to create a new experience in one's personal life."
Gutierrez deftly uses humor, compassion, and intuition to communicate with spirit to heal the mind, body, and soul for a healthier and spiritual life. As a professional ballroom dancer and instructor, he is also the author of 'The Body Language of Dance', in which he explains the psychology of dancing, right and left brain dominance, what it means to be born a first, second, third, or fourth child, and why he believes that the physical body is the soul materialized.
"Readers will benefit from this book," continued Gutierrez, "because it will help to expand one's perspective and create a new experience in one's life. When we expand our perspective this becomes our truth. This truth will create new thoughts, which will trigger emotions and will create new experiences in one's new reality."

Reiki Master And Author Carlos Gutierrez Releases New Book, 'Wisdom In Action'
Norway Is The New Scotland - Award Winning Historical Romance Author Kris Tualla Creates 'Arizona Dreamin' - A Romance Reader Event'
Kris Tualla is the best selling author of the Hansen family trilogy of historical romance novels. The series features the fictional Hansen family of Arendal, Norway. Tualla believes it is time for a new breed of historical romance hero and puts forth the idea that Norway is the new Scotland
The field of book publishing today is not only unstable - it is being totally reinvented. Bookstores, both large and small, are closing. Ebooks have taken center stage. The number of books published annually is increasing exponentially.
In this new model, successful authors must bring their product directly to the readers. Self-promotion and word of mouth are everything. Author Kris Tualla, award winning author of the Hansen series of historical romance novels, understands this. She has created 'Arizona Dreamin' - A Romance Reader Event' for Saturday, June 4th in Tempe, Arizona.
"It's an opportunity for readers to meet some of their favorite authors - and new favorite authors," Tualla said. "We want to connect the readers face-to-face with the writers."
Twenty-four multi-published authors representing different genres of romantic fiction, including paranormal, sci-fi, historical, suspense and more, will be meeting with readers in this unique setting.
Successful cover model Jimmy Thomas will be posing with attendees in exchange for a donation to the sponsored charity, Huntington's Disease Society of America. In addition, Sapphire Blue Publishing will be talking with hopeful writers, providing an opportunity for aspiring authors to speak directly with a publisher about their own careers.
"Our hope is to make this a regular event," Tualla explains. "Readers of romantic fiction have this opportunity in major cities all over the country. We are very excited about bringing the concept to the Phoenix area, and to help a very worthwhile charity while doing so."
For more information about Arizona Dreamin' visit http://arizonadreamin.wordpress.com/
Kris Tualla is available for media interview and speaking events. She can be reached using the information below or by email at ktualla@cox.net. More information is available at her website. All Tualla's books are available at her website, Amazon.com and at most book retailers. All of the books in the trilogy are available in paperback, Kindle, Nook, Kobo and other ebook versions.

Interview With Renee A. Hand
I recently had the opportunity to interview Renee A. Hand, author of The Adventures Of Joe-Joe Nut and Biscuit Bill, Case#2: Mineral Mischief Renee Hand is an award-winning author, educator, tennis coach and various other things. Hand has been writing for over twenty-five years and has eight publications. She also writes for various chronicles and newsletters, as well as reviews for the New York Journal of Books, for various publishers and authors of children´s books on her blog, http://thecryptocapersseries.blogspot.com/ . Check out more of the author's books on her website at http://www.reneeahand.com/
Tell us about this book
In the midst of having her friends visit her rock collection, Maple Moo’s rare mineral goes missing from underneath her large cow nose. She instantly turns to Joe-Joe Nut and Biscuit Bill, the most famous detectives in Acorn Valley, to find it. They didn’t know the task was going to be an impossible one. The suspects were hard to figure out. Was it Candy Cardinal, who committed the crime? She collects various gemstones to make jewelry. Brutus and Betty Blue Beaver also collect minerals and have a fancy quartz collection. Liam the Llama looks suspicious with his igneous rocks and exploding volcano, or was it Huckleberry Moose with his sedimentary rock collection? Joe-Joe and Biscuit find themselves at a loss until some bullies roar into town. Will the detectives be able to find the missing mineral? Or, will this be a case they won’t be able to close? Find out in case #2 in the Joe-Joe Nut and Biscuit Bill Series-Mineral Mischief. Look for the various activities in the back of the book concerning rocks and minerals for added learning. Bubbling rocks, anyone?
Who did you write this book for?
Mineral Mischief is appropriate for children in 2nd and 3rd grade and up who are ready to read chapter books.
Could you give a short excerpt from your story?
Joe-Joe and Biscuit found themselves in a dark and dreary cave, and in front of them, sitting on an ornately carved stone pedestal, was Maple’s mineral. To reach out and take it would be so easy. It glistened like stars in a midnight sky, attracting their attention, luring them. There had to be a catch somewhere. Something wasn’t right. Joe-Joe and Biscuit stood beside the pedestal, analyzing it. There was a circle in the center of the pedestal, and the mineral was placed in the center of that circle. A TRAP! thought Joe-Joe as he glanced at his partner, who was wearing a russet-colored fedora, which matched his own—they definitely looked sharp. Joe-Joe glanced behind Biscuit, where he noticed a deep gap in the wall. The opening was barred like a cage. Barely any light shined through to reveal what was inside. Joe-Joe had an inkling that, if he removed the mineral, the cage door would open, unleashing a horrific Greek beast that would assuredly eat them both for dinner. Joe-Joe began thinking like an adventurer. He was suddenly consumed with the identity of Indiana Jones.
Who influenced your writing style the most?
No one in particular. I write the way I want to read my books. I think of the audience, and my own children, when I write. I want what they read to be interesting and fun, educational and clean.
If you could have lunch with any author, who would it be?
Gaston Leroux. I would have so many questions about his real life adventures.
Do you have a specific writing style?
I do. Readers know what to expect when picking up my books. I always write mysteries. I always include factual information, though my stories are fiction. I include educational elements that parents and teachers have come to expect. I keep my stories suspenseful and adventurous.
Are your characters pure fiction, or did you draw from people you know?
Both! Many of my characters are created from people I know or who I think they should be like, but some are also pure fiction.
Are you more of a character artist or a plot-driven writer?
I am definitely plot driven. I know what I need to have happen in the story and I drive the story according to those events. I also consider the characters and their actions and abilities when spinning my tale so it suits their abilities, but I consider the plot first.
What books have most influenced you?
The Sherlock Holmes Series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and books by Gaston Leroux
What type of feedback have you received so far from readers?
I have received tons of positive feedback. Parents and children love what I am doing with the series and the direction its going. Parents love the fact that I include ways to educate children. No matter what book I have out I get the reader involved into the story inspiring them to want to learn more about a specific topic and to think outside of the box. My books challenge the reader, yet are also fun and memorable stories.
Other than selling your book, what do you hope to accomplish with it?
I hope to reach out to children and satisfy their love of reading mysteries. My books are unique and different. They are educational and interesting. I take the everyday and turn it into an adventure that will take the reader on a ride they will never forget. I hope to touch their lives.
Who should buy this book?
This book is perfect for teachers, homeschoolers and parents to help supplement their child’s learning about rocks and minerals.
Where can people buy your book?
My books are available at Barnes and Nobles, Amazon.com, Borders, and other bookstores big and small. My books are also sold on my website where I will personalize them.
Interview With Nan D. Arnold
Today I had the opportunity to speak with Nan D. Arnold, author of Pesto Packing Mama and Merry Acres Widows Waltz.
Tell us about Merry Acres
Merry Acres is a women's fiction mystery. What is that, you may ask. Well, in addition to a murder mystery, a woman's journey story is involved.
Who did you write this book for?
Myself, as usual, but for women of Boomer age experiencing retired husbands at home. You've heard the saying...retirement kills. Some days...
Is there a central message in the book?
All debts are paid.
What is the part of your book you personally like best?
I love the twists and turns.
Are your characters pure fiction, or did you draw from people you know?
Pure fiction.
Are you more of a character artist or a plot-driven writer?
Plot, but characters can't be discounted because what they reveal to you drives the plot.
What specific thing would you like to say to your readers?
I hope you enjoy Merry Acres and find it an entertaining read. Post a review, good, bad or indifferent.
You are an established author and have a following. Why do you think readers like your books?
My snarky humor (but that is downplayed in Merry Acres).
What advice would you give to writers who may be just starting out?
Oh, my. I will pray for you. Writing is not for the faint of heart (read: thin skinned) or lean of pocket book.
Where can people buy your book?
All venues are at my website: http://www.nandarnold.com but available in print at Amazon and ebook format at Amazon Kindle.
My Days In The Beast: Diary Of A Holy Warrior In America Released By J. C. Clark
'My Days In The Beast: The Diary of a Holy Warrior in America', tells the tale of Aamir Al Mamoura, a radical Islamic Muslim terrorist scouting sites for terrorist acts in the USA
Many of us wonder what goes through the mind of terrorists who wage Jihad on American soil. J.C. Clark provides a graphic and chilling description in his recent release 'My Days In The Beast: Diary of a Holy Warrior in America'.
In this book, several weeks of entries translated from Arabic show the distain, contempt and hatred of America held by radical Islam. On 9-11 four groups of Al Qaeda and Hamas terrorists financed by Osama Bin Laden took control of several aircraft, crashing them into and destroying the World Trade Center (WTC) and severely damaging the Pentagon while killing and injuring thousands of Americans. Aamir Al-Mamoura, the author and Holy Warrior or Mujahideen kept the diary for the benefit of his family so that, in the event of his death, they would know the part he played in the great jihad against America.
"My daughter," stated Mr. Clark, "had a breakfast meeting scheduled at Windows On The World in the trade center on September 11 but, unbeknown to us, it was moved to a mid-town location. After the second plane hit I left work to return home as neither my wife nor I knew the whereabouts of our daughter. I sat in a monumental traffic jam on the north side of the NJ Turnpike and watched the second tower fall as more emergency equipment than I knew existed in NJ rushed toward NYC going north in the closed southbound lanes. Despite three major airports in the area, there was no air traffic other than a pair of fighter jets flying around Manhattan. It was a very strange feeling, as though I were watching a science fiction movie."
The book is a richly detailed account of the workings of the mind of a terrorist. Midwest Review stated "'My Days in the Beast: The Diary of a Holy Warrior in America' is an account of the life of Aamir Al-Mamoura, a radical Muslim who soundly embraced the philosophy of terrorism and actively participated in many plots against the United States of America, who spent much of his time in the very country he despised with all of his heart. A riveting look into a dark mind, 'My Days in the Beast' is a worthwhile read with a current event twist."
"As time passes," continued Mr. Clark, "and memories dim, I believe most Americans have become complacent regarding the success of another attack. Homeland Security needs to be 100%, while terrorists need only one success."
'My Days in the Beast' is available at Mr. Clark's website. More information regarding the book is available at www.MyDaysInTheBeast.com. Mr. Clark is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at mspincorp@verizon.net.

How Marriages Survive Infidelity: Author Jesse Birkey Offers The Key In 'Marriage: What's The Point'
Sandra Bullock, Ashlee Simpson, Tiger Woods, Charlie Sheen, Eva Longoria, LeAnn Rimes - the list goes on and on. What do all these people have in common? The end of a relationship due to infidelity. We are all aware of these celebrity breakups. And nearly everyone has watched it happen to family and friends. As a society, this causes us to believe that infidelity always leads to the end of a relationship. Author Jesse Birkey disagrees and offers real answers in his new book, 'Marriage: What's The Point?'
Every year thousands of marriages end up broken and destroyed due to infidelity. As a group we are accustomed to infidelity causing the end of a relationship. But infidelity, as heartbreaking as it is, can be the catalyst that leads to a new, more fulfilling relationship. Jesse Birkey, author of 'Marriage - What's The Point?' doesn't just believe this is possible - he has lived through it and he, along with his wife Kara, have proved it.
"Nearly every day we read about another Scarlett Johansson or Christina Aguilera it seems," stated Mr. Birkey, "because celebrity divorce makes news. There are thousands of instances of divorce that don't make headlines however. This book was written for those of us who, while perhaps not famous or well-known, suffer through the same type of situation."
'Marriage What's The Point?' is the story of a powerful transformation of relationships, initiated by an instance of infidelity. Jesse Birkey married his school sweetheart, made a career as a firefighter/paramedic and had two beautiful children. His life was enviable and he found security in what he had until God allowed his most treasured relationship, his marriage, to be tested. It was this event that caused him to realize he needed a relationship with God. God restored his marriage, but even more importantly started him on a journey of understanding, true love and intimacy. He hopes 'Marriage What's The Point' can serve as an outreach for the hurting and broken and can serve as a message of hope in a world seemingly filled with divorce, failed relationships, broken dreams and broken hearts.
"Marital tragedy," stated Mr. Birkey, "with total transparency isn't something that is talked about very much. There is an overwhelming amount of hurt and devastation out there in so many marriages. I believe that there is power in a testimony. But if the tragedy isn't talked about with transparency then there can't be a testimony. I wrote this book because of the power in my wife and I's testimony. We believe that this book can bring hope to those who have none and healing to the broken. This book was written while walking a path marked by tragedy, despair, hopelessness, desperation, transformation, reconciliation, and complete Holy Spirit saturation. This is a story of restoration."
Jesse and Kara Birkey are available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at jbirkey@marriagewhatsthepoint.com. They have appeared on The Authors Show, 'Home Keepers' with Arthelene Rippy, Michelle Wargo on 'Miracle Monday' 'Second Half Christians' with Gregory and Margaret Fisher and 'My Story Matters' with Angela Schaefers. 'Marriage What's The Point' is available at Birkey's website, Amazon.com and Family Christian Bookstores. 'Marriage: What's The Point?' is distributed by New Day Christian.

War Has Been Ineffective In Creating Peace In The Middle East - Laurie Pappas Offers A Practical And Effective Approach In New Book
Dr. Laurie Pappas believes peace cannot be created through war, but instead must come about naturally as the result of changes in the thought processes of every individual. In her latest book, 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace', Dr. Pappas offers practical instruction at both the individual level and for the larger world community
Many people believe that peace comes about as the result of war. Dr. Laurie Pappas disagrees. Dr. Pappas, author of ‘The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict To Peace’, believes that genuine, lasting peace must begin with the individual. As a follow-up to her book, she now offers practical instruction on this topic in a series of teleseminars.
“Peace is a process,” stated Dr. Pappas, “something that’s obviously not going to happen over night, but every step along the way brings us closer. Sometimes military intervention is needed, such as in the case of Libya right now. But there is more we can do individually. Our minds are contained within a Divine Spirit energy that lives within all of us, whether we live in America, Libya, or elsewhere in the Middle East. This is an ocean of energy in which thoughts play an important role. They move back and forth freely in this energetic field, affecting everyone and everything. Our thoughts here can influence the behavior and thoughts of people millions of miles away. If we’re thinking hateful, judgmental or condemning thoughts, they are received by every other being on this planet. We all contribute to the well being or ill health of our planet just by what we choose to place in our minds. How can we best use our individual minds to help bring about peace in this war torn region? Choose thoughts of compassion, forgiveness, and wishes for freedom from strife for the Libyan people, Gaddafi included.”
Dr. Pappas presents her approach in 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace'. The book is supplemented by a workbook entitled 'The Loving Heart Companion'. Dr. Pappas has included over 30 years of observation and wisdom gained from personal experiences, as well as working with students, clients, family members and colleagues.
“Teleclasses,” continued Dr. Pappas, “on such subjects as forgiveness, surrender and the Mirroring Principle, help us to mend the fearful, anxious and angry states of mind that accompany us each day. The concepts taught help us to uproot any disturbing thoughts we may have, and replace them with calm, peaceful ones, freeing us to extend hopeful, caring thoughts into regions of the world, like Libya, that so critically need our nonviolent, harmonic energy.”
Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):
Wed. April 27 All You Want to Know about Forgiveness 12:00-1:15 pm
Thurs. May 5 Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, What Can I Learn From You? 12:00-1:15 pm
Wed. May 11 The Supreme Art of Surrender 12:00-1:15
Thurs. May 19 How to Meditate 12:00-1:15
Wed. May 25 The Ultimate Recipe for Dealing with Difficult People 12:00-1:15
Thurs. June 2 8 Secrets to Beating the Blues 12:00-1:15
Wed. June 8 Developing The Knack of Loving Ourselves 12:00-1:15
More information on teleclasses and her books is available at her website. Specific information on teleclasses is available by email. Dr. Pappas is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at laurie@lovingheartconnection.com. 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace' and the accompanying workbook, 'The Loving Heart Companion', are available at her website, Amazon.com, Rittenhouse, Nacscorp and Expresso Book Machines.

Dr. Melvin Kirschner Presents The Facts In 'All Medicines Are Poison: Making Your Way Through The Medical Minefield'
Dr. Kirschner believes the public is being fed a constant flow of misinformation. ‘All Medicines Are Poison’ attempts to clear up the confusion regarding medications and treatments, the risks and benefits associated with medicine and the validity of complimentary and alternative medicine
Everyone is aware of the ever-growing number of medical malpractice suits and FDA recalls that plague the medical field today. In light of the outrageous state of healthcare today, Melvin Kirschner, MPH, MD, recently released 'All Medicines Are Poison: Making Your Way Through The Medical Minefield.'
In this book, Dr. Kirschner sets out to remove the fog of confusion that clouds the landscape patients are required to navigate in their search for health care today. This book describes the risks and benefits associated with the use of medicines, and explores the validity of other treatment modalities referred to as "Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). He discusses the numerous failings and backroom dealings in the pharmaceutical and insurance industries, and highlights possible solutions to many of these current concerns.
"I wrote this book," stated Dr. Kirschner, "because the public and my patients were being fed a constant flow of misinformation regarding value and hazards of medicines and medical care. They were also being fed a line of useless information and treatments. Much of that is harmless, but failure to seek time proven treatment when needed can be disastrous."
This book is a collection of essays by Dr. Kirschner, regarding some of the many unresolved health care, pharmaceutical and insurance issues that his patients have shared with him during his forty-seven years of family medical practice.
"Soon after I became a physician," Dr. Kirschner continued, "it was obvious that the pharmaceutical industry clearly reported the benefit of their medicines, but had a tendency to downplay or 'forget' their risks and side effects. There was no advertising to the public permitted in those days. Advertising only appeared in the medical journals. In recent years, advertisements in the public media became common. Patients who are completely uneducated regarding the risks and hazards of taking medicines often demand a medicine when none is needed and may be inappropriate."
Dr. Melvin Kirschner is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at mhkirschnermd@aol.com. 'All Medicines Are Poison! Making Your Way Through The Medical Minefield' is available at his website, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and at most retail book outlets. More information is available at Dr. Kirschner's website.
Profile:
After medical training at the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles County General Hospital, Dr. Melvin Kirschner entered medical practice in the San Fernando Valley as a family physician.
In 1961 there were very few doctors with his public health experience. This soon led to volunteering in various health related programs, such as the Regional Medical Disaster Program, the Red Cross Disaster and Blood program, the Home Health Association, Visiting Nurse Association, Hospice, several committees on biomedical issues, adviser to the California Health Law Revision Committee, Single Payer Health Care for All, Physicians for a National Health Plan, California Physicians Alliance and other health-related activities.
He has also written numerous articles, letters and Op Ed pieces and appeared on radio, television and lectured on health care issues at many venues. Recently retired from medical practice, he continues to volunteer for many health oriented community programs.

Dr. Laurie Pappas Offers A Practical Approach To Creating Peace On A Global Scale In 'The Loving Heart', Announces Teleseminar Schedule
Dr. Pappas believes all people wish for peace, but very few really understand how to create that state of peace. In her latest book, 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace', she offers practical instruction for both individuals and the larger world community
Combat in Afghanistan, war in Libya, fighting between Israelis and Arabs – all these occur under the guise of creating peace and freedom, but can true peace ever come about as the result of endless armed conflict? Of course not; yet many believe it can. Individuals often prefer to hand the responsibility for peace off to groups such as the military or a government. But what can we do personally - right where we stand now - to make a difference? Dr. Laurie Pappas, author of 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace' offers the only real path to creating peace, both on a personal level and on a global scale. Not only does she offer real answers, she also provides practical instruction on how to eliminate anxiety and fear, and to create hope, happiness and ultimately the state of peace.
"The conflict in our own minds," stated Dr. Pappas, "contributes to the conflict in our global world because we’re all connected by earth and spirit. Peace begins within. American democracy is the envy of many in the Middle East and elsewhere; understandably, for American democratic society is as good as is gets. But could we do better? True freedom is found within the mind when we learn to see each other through the eyes of forgiveness and compassion. This is the message of the Dalai Llama, whose voice has been desperately needed during his reign."
Dr. Pappas presents her approach in 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace'. The book is supplemented by a workbook entitled 'The Loving Heart Companion'. Dr. Pappas has included over 30 years of observation and wisdom gained from personal experiences, as well as working with students, clients, family members and colleagues.
“Peace,” continued Dr. Pappas, "is an elusive term. We talk about it, think about it and pray about it, but it often seems to escape us. I wrote these books to provide an understanding and a practical pathway to the 'peaceful living' enigma. Not only do these books offer user-friendly exercises to add practicality to the concepts described, but also personal stories, which demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing such exercises. When the reader is finished studying the books and doing the exercises, they will then possess a 'tool box' filled with effective instruments for peaceful, harmonious living. At any time of need, they can access their tool box and return to a state of peace."
Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):

Dr. Charles Glassman, 'Coach MD', Awarded 2010 Patients Choice Award
Dr. Charles Glassman, one of the country's most respected and well known medical doctors, has received the 2010 Patients Choice Award. Only 6% of the nation's 720,000 receive this award, accorded by their patients
Dr. Charles Glassman, one of the country's most respected physicians and widely known as 'Coach MD', has received the 2010 Patients Choice Award.
As stated on the Patient's Choice website, the "Patients' Choice recognition reflects the difference a particular physician has made in the lives of their patients. The honor is bestowed to physicians who have received near perfect scores as voted by patients. Every month, more than 100,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their experiences with their doctors. They rate various components such as bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, degree of follow-up, courtesy of office staff, and overall opinions. Over the course of 2010, these reviews have totaled hundreds of thousands patient opinions. While physicians generally receive positive reviews from their patients, only a select few receive uniformly rave reviews across the board. Of those who have received rave reviews with near perfect scores by their patients are awarded this honor."
"Although I have been fortunate," stated Dr. Glassman, "to receive several Top Doctors awards as voted regionally and nationally by my peers, the Patients Choice Award represents something very special. This award represents how patients evaluate me as their doctor. For me, being a physician is so much more than simply how efficiently I can manage my patient load or how quickly I can reach into my pocket to write a prescription. Rather, my approach of listening, guiding, and coaching is what I feel is my role. By winning this award, it affirms that my approach resonates with the needs of my patients and I am truly grateful."
Dr. Glassman takes an all encompassing, holistic view of healthcare. Known as 'Coach MD', his role is to serve as a personal guide to total wellness. He effectively guides his clients through the maze of medical choices available today. He believes that total wellness is so much more than taking pills to mask symptoms. Mind, body and spirit must work as one unit. There must be balance. Beyond diagnosis and medical treatment, total wellness also encompasses emotional factors, spirituality, meditation, diet, alternative therapies, relaxation techniques, positive thinking - the list goes on and on. He is also giving away his new ebook, 'Destiny Diet', that offers the first step on the path to that state of total wellness.
Dr. Glassman is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at cgwellness@gmail.com. More information, including the Destiny Diet download, is available in pdf form at his website.

Author John Pappas Seeks Interesting Dog Stories To Be Published In Bark News
Bark News is published online by John Pappas, author of 'That Dog Will Never Hunt' and 'When Wolf Comes'
Do you know any good dog news stories? Who doesn't? Bark News is accepting stories for inclusion in the next issue to be published online. Dog stories submitted must be interesting to a wide cross-section of dog lovers. The best stories submitted each month will be published online and the person submitting the story will receive a free, personalized copy of 'That Dog Will Never Hunt'.
"One of the few constants in my life," stated Mr. Pappas, "is that I’m a dog guy. Dogs have always responded to me, and as a writer, the ways humans interact with dogs cover such a wide range of attitudes and emotions I felt compelled to portray those contrasts and experiences. 'That Dog Will Never Hunt', for instance, came about over a period of time and takes a reader to locations from Alaska to Louisiana. Enter these stories and meet professional dog trainers, a struggling artist, displaced rancher, desperate Texas farmer, a kid that knows his dog is his best friend, and others that will surprise and let readers see the influence of dogs in people’s lives in a new way."
"Readers have told me 'That Dog Will Never Hunt' stirs memories about the dogs in their lives, past and present, from professional dog trainers to the person next door who has a mixed breed they adopted from PAWS. These 12 stories are really more about the people that live with dogs and how they interact. Besides being entertained, readers will better understand why dogs do the things they do, and perhaps more about the people they live with. As Jodi at Woods Creek Kennels wrote in her review, “You’ll never look at man’s best friend the same way again.”
Submissions should be 1000 words or less. If the story is over 1000 words, Pappas requests that the submitter query first. All submissions will be subject to minimal editing as required.Stories for Bark News and Notes can be submitted by email at john.orca11@gmail.com. John Pappas is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at john.orca11@gmail.com. His books are available at his website, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and through any bookstore in the U.S., Canada and the UK. All books are available in Kindle format.
Profile:
John Pappas is a versatile writer who writes books across many genres. Most of his stories are in outdoor settings or real wilderness. He is the author of 'That Dog Will Never Hunt', 'Wolf', and 'Aphrodite's Food For The Gods'. He resides in Seattle WA.
