Don McCauley of the Free Publicity Focus Group recently announced the release of a new training video entitled 'The Best Marketing Strategy Ever Created'. The new video clearly details what authors and writers must do to achieve real success in the inbound Internet marketing environment. The new video is available at the Book Marketing site.

"This new training video," McCauley stated, "is an attempt to clear up the confusion regarding what really creates results - sales - for authors and writers. We constantly hear reports from many sources about the low success rates of today's published and self published authors. There are many reasons for this, but the primary reason is the failure to follow the simplest of ideas in regards to how successful Internet marketing is achieved. Book marketing is a bit of an art and a bit of a science. 'The Best Marketing Strategy Ever Created' pinpoints one of the primary causes of failure and offers the solution. The video is offered in the Book Marketing Master Class Series."

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Announces New Blog Talk Radio Interview With Debra Gano on 'Authors Speaking'

'Authors and Technology', a BlogTalkRadio show hosted by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, invites experts in technology to discuss the future, which is happening now. On May 21, Dr. Holstein interviewed Debra Gano, author of the 'Heartlight Girls' series. The show will be archived at the 'Authors Speaking' site

On May 21, 2012, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein interviewed Debra Gano, President and CEO of 'Be Your Own You' and author of the 'Heartlight Girls' series. Gano suggested many opportunities for authors to use, such Speaker Reps who work on commission to place an author using technology such as Skype, and the importance of branding.  The show was broadcast live on Blogtalk Radio and will be archived at 'Authors Speaking'. 'Authors Speaking', developed by Dr. Holstein, brings authors together with librarians, educators and bookclubs through virtual author visits using Skype technology.

"In this world of millions of websites," stated Dr. Holstein, "it's nice to have one place where authors, librarians, teachers, book clubs, and bloggers can all come together to find each other. The virtual world is waiting, but still the links have to be made.  For example, let's say you are a librarian in Idaho and you are looking for an author to come and talk about flowering shrubs at a Senior Book Hour. You don't have to just invite the local florist.  An author who lives in Maine and has written a book on plants can be at your doorstep, via Skype, for the next meeting.  All that needs to happen is communication.  And that is easy with AuthorsSpeaking. Authors display their books and their talents by sharing their trailers, video interviews, notices of speaking engagements, etc. Librarians and other jjoin also and post what that are looking for.  Authors find librarians. Librarians find authors and the interviews are scheduled.  It is a win-win for everyone."

Debra Gano is the CEO & President of BYOU, ‘Be Your Own You’, a girls self-esteem apparel and educational company and the best-selling author of the 'Heartlight Girls' series. Her book, ' Beauty’s Secret, A Girl’s Discovery of Inner Beauty' is the recipient of multiple national awards, including Gold Winner of the Mom’s Choice Award. Debra is a former international model and actress who now dedicates her life to the empowerment of girls and women, and speaks as a national expert on self-esteem.

'Authors Speaking' encourages authors to make virtual visits to classrooms, libraries, bookclubs and bookstores through Skype and other forms of technology. 'Authors Speaking' gives authors and publishers the opportunity to upload photos, bios, book covers, video and book videos.

Details on this teleseminar series will follow soon.

The Childhood Obesity Crisis - One Company Offers A Simple Solution To A Staggering Health Problem

Childhood obesity is a crisis of epic proportions. Obesity is caused by too much food intake, not enough exercise or a combination of the two. Now, one company has found a simple solution that is not only extremely effective, but is also nearly impossible for kids and young adults to resist

On May 14,The Weight Of The Nation, a four-part HBO documentary on the subject of childhood obesity was aired. The project is a joint effort by HBO, The Center For Disease Control and Prevention, The Institute Of Medicine and the National Institute of Health. The series will raise the consciousness of the public regarding the staggering facts surrounding childhood obesity. While creating awareness is laudable, one company believes solutions are urgently needed and has recently developed a product that can provide that solution. The new product is both effective and affordable. Even more important is its powerful, nearly irresistible appeal to young people.

Many believe that young people spend too much time in front of video screens and ignore the need for regular exercise and activity. Exergamer is a unique and inexpensive fully-developed computer input device for video game playing. It allows users to control video games through exercise-related full-body movement. Anyone can experience this enjoyable diversion of playing free or inexpensive video games while engaging in intuitive full-body exercise and stretch routines. Exergamer fits neatly in a pocket and costs less than $50.

"Exergamer has the potential," stated Tom McLaughlin, developer of Exergamer, "to encourage and motivate those suffering from obesity, especially young people, by helping them to engage in and stay with a fitness regimen that will foster improved health. Video games, believed to be a major cause of the problem, have now become an integral part of the solution."

Many people agree. Donald Trump recently stated, "I have been aware of the development of Exergamer for some time and recognize that this tiny device could help to address that aspect of childhood obesity caused by the lack of physical activity. This is certainly a product every parent should be watching."

Exergamer works with popular computer systems and a great many computer games. Many of these games are free.

"Childhood obesity," McLaughlin continued, "could be lessened to some degree by this tiny little exercise device. Nearly all children, even obese children, love playing video games. Here we have an intuitive, inexpensive exergaming device that could help the overweight and obese become more confident in their own ability to improve their health. It could produce some impressive results right where they are needed."

More information on Exergamer is available at http://www.exergamer.com. Tom McLaughlin is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at tmclaughlin@exergamer.com.

Profile:

Tom McLaughlin holds an MBA and is a trained professional manager who has specialized in working with Fortune 500 companies. He has been steadily involved in a wide range of software and product development projects.  He is a tenacious researcher capable of collecting and organizing information and is able to make the information easily understood and suitable for intuitive usage.

Richard DuRose, Author Of ‘Shooting Star’, Chosen To Be Exhibiting Author At Blue Ridge Bookfest To Be Held In Flat Rock, NC

Richard DuRose’s book, ‘Shooting Star, The First Woman To Attempt To Reach Hawaii By Air’ relates the story of Mildred Doran, a female aviator who was lost during the golden age of aviation. DuRose is Mildred Doran’s nephew

Hendersonville NC author Richard DuRose is known as 'The Inside Authority On The Golden Age Of Aviation’ for good reason. His aunt, Mildred Doran, was one of the United States' first female aviators. He relates her story in 'Shooting Star, The First Woman To Attempt To Reach Hawaii By Air'.

Mildred Doran, a young schoolteacher, entered the Dole Transpacific Air Race in 1927, organized to start only 11 weeks after Charles Lindbergh’s flight to Paris.  Of the 8 planes lined up for the race, only two made it to Hawaii.  Mildred and her plane were mysteriously lost and, similar to Amelia Earhart’s fate, no trace of her or her plane was ever located.

DuRose first  became familiar with the story when he inherited a box of pictures, news clippings and other memorabilia from his mother who was Mildred’s little sister.  That box sent DuRose on a three year quest into the history of aviation and resulted in a 2011 article in Smithsonian’s Air & Space magazine.

“I wrote this book,” stated Mr. DuRose, “as there was an immediate response to the article with many readers saying they wanted to know more.  That gave me the impetus to write 'Shooting Star' because so many urged me to do so.”

This year’s Blue Ridge Bookfest will be held on May 18-19, 2012, at the Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock, North Carolina. The annual event will feature 40 authors plus several seminars.  Hours for the Blue Ridge Bookfest are 1:30 to 5:30 on Friday May 18, and 8:30 to 3:00 on Saturday, May 19. There is no charge for admission.

“Readers will enjoy this story”, DuRose continued, “of a strong willed, pretty, young schoolteacher who was determined to be the first to fly to Honolulu. What I found amazing was the barrage of news coverage given at the time to the Dole Race and Mildred.  The whole country was enamored with Mildred and vowed never to forget her.  But, over time, the story was forgotten."

Richard DuRose is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at rdurose@morrisbb.net. ‘Shooting Star, The First Attempt By A Woman To Reach Hawaii By Air’ is available at Amazon.com. More information is available at Mr. DuRose’s website at www.RichardDuRose.com. More information on the Blue Ridge Bookfest is available at www.BlueRidgeBookfest.org.

Profile:

Richard DuRose lives in Hendersonville, North Carolina with his wife Nancy, where he retired after a career as a corporate trial lawyer.

The bulk of his career was spent with Foley & Lardner, a nation-wide law firm. DuRose specialized in employment law, and handled cases in 37 of the 50 states.  He was named as one of the Best Lawyers in America under labor and employment law, and chosen for mention in Who’s Who in American Law. ‘Shooting Star, The First Attempt By A Woman To Reach Hawaii By Air’ was published in September 2011.

Mining Asteroids: Author S. Evan Townsend's Speculative Fiction Fantasy May Now Become Reality

Before the recent announcement by Planetary Resources (PRI) detailing their plan to mine near Earth asteroids, author S. Evan Townsend released, 'Rock Killer'. In the book, Space Resources, Inc. (SRI) mines asteroids for the riches a populated Earth needs without degrading the planet

When author S. Evan Townsend released his latest novel, 'Rock Killer', he never dreamed that the premise of his novel might be come reality just a few short months later. Nevertheless, it now seems a work of speculative fiction, based in science, may become reality much sooner than expected.

Planetary Resources recently announced its intention to find the first near Earth orbit asteroid that might be mined for minerals. The initiative is backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, current CEO Larry Page and director James Cameron, among others.

In 'Rock Killer', Space Resources, Inc. (SRI) mines asteroids for the riches a populated Earth needs without degrading the planet. Yet there are those opposed to progress in whatever its form such as the Gaia Alliance, a front group for eco-terrorists. During a violent attack on the Moon, the terrorists steal an exploration ship, arm it, and rename it the Rock Killer. Simultaneously, SRI Director Alexander Chun is traveling to the asteroid belt to bring a kilometer-long nickel-iron rock back to Earth orbit to mine for its valuable metals. Following him and his multi-national team is the Rock Killer. Without armaments, millions of miles from help, Chun must stop those who threaten him and the lives of his crew.

“I started writing Rock Killer,” Townsend stated, “after there was a spate of eco-terrorist events in the U.S. Pacific Northwest in the late 1990's.  I wondered what motivated these people and what would happen if there were such attacks in the future on what they perceived to be ‘bad for the environment.’  What if they wanted to stop the mining of asteroids for the resources a crowded planet needs and how would they do it?  Now PRI is going to be doing almost the exact same thing I wrote about.  I set 'Rock Killer' about 50 years in the future.  I never expected to see it in reality so soon."

'Rock Killer' follows Townsend's two previous novels, ‘Agent Of Artifice’ and ‘Hammer Of Thor’. His body of work, blends of historical fiction and fantasy, has received numerous 5 star reviews and have placed him in the top echelon of America’s speculative fiction writers. Townsend is a builder of worlds - fantastic yet familiar, slightly off-kilter worlds, filled with characters and storylines that breathe new life into the genre that is speculative fiction.

Townsend writes in the tradition of Robert Heinlein, and his writing has been compared to both Heinlein and Piers Anthony. Townsend's approach is to begin in the real world - everyday reality - and then to twist that reality, heat it up a bit, spin it and mold it seamlessly into fiction. The dividing lines between what is real and what is fictional become blurred. Townsend's writings are heavily researched to ensure both historic and scientific accuracy. All of his works offer captivating tales of fun adventure, wrapped tightly around a solid iron core of fact and accuracy.

“People will enjoy this book,” Townsend continued, “because it is a fast-paced action adventure with a multifaceted plot that ranges from Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Syria, the Moon, and out to the Asteroid Belt.  It combines action, terrorism, political intrigue, romance, and science into a story of heroic men and women trying to save the lives of their fellow humans.  ‘Rock Killer’ is an all-too-plausible yet futuristic story of terrorism and those who are caught in its sights and those trying to stop it.”

Townsend is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sheltown@donobi.net. More information is available at his website. All Townsend’s works, including ‘Rock Killer’ are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, World Castle Publishing and at other online book sites.

In the tradition of 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Unforgiven', 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Spartacus', S. Thomas Bailey captures the raw essence and the harsh realities of the French and Indian War period in his stark depiction of early Colonial America.‘The Gauntlet Runner’ transports readers back to a time when early settlers risked their lives to expand a young, growing nation. The book stays true to the facts and, in doing so, offers a glimpse of George Washington that may surprise some readers.

"Many people are not aware," stated Bailey, "that George Washington, the first President of the United States, held ambitions to become a commissioned officer in the British army.  It was in 1755 colonial America and he was placed on Major-General Edward Braddock's staff as an Aide de Camp, a high honor for a mere colonial.  Liked by Braddock, and understanding that an expected British victory at a planned attack on the French-held Fort Duquesne would lead to his commission, Washington was well on his way to reaching his goal.  There was even speculation that Braddock had a plan for a new British company with Washington as its Major. As fate had it, the British were routed near the Monongahela River, Braddock was killed and any chance of Washington's commission was lost in the vast wilderness. Twenty some years later, Washington would stand face-to-face against the same British army he had once so admired. The same colonist, this time the leader of an army bent on changing the world."

Above all, Bailey’s work is true to life and pulls no punches. ‘The Gauntlet Runner’ tells a tale of fractured lives, broken treaties and the stark realities of the struggles faced by early American settlers as they risked life and limb to cultivate the seed of a new nation.

Bailey is known for writing heart pounding historical fiction, firmly rooted in well-researched historical fact. A recent Reader’s Favorite review stated ‘Bailey is an incredible writer and his long hours of research are evident. I could easily see this plot on the silver screen. I grew up watching Hawkeye, Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket. It is wonderful to read a high quality work of fiction about our country's turbulent history . . .'

Dr. Richard Ruhling, Author of 'The Fall of America', Sees Obamacare Microchip Fulfilling Bible Prophecy

Dr. Ruhling says the Supreme Court has reasons to be concerned with Obamacare and the constitutionality of forcing millions to go against their religious belief

 With the signing into law of a national healthcare program, President Obama created the framework for what could be one, government-mandated, RFID chip for every American citizen. http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q12012/obamacare-wall-street-rfid-chips-and-666/. Dr. Richard Ruhling says the Bible warns against it. "If any man...receive a mark [without which 'no man can buy or sell,' Rev 13:17] in his forehead or hand, the same shall drink of the wine of wrath of God," Rev 14:9, 10.

The context of this warning is when a "lamb-like" beast [symbol of Christ representing a Christian nation] changes to speak like a dragon [making laws against its principles of freedom] and causes the world to make an image (look-alike) to the previous beast [system of government] that early Americans held to be the Old World Order. Ruhling believes this is about a New World Order.

Ruhling says the Supreme Court has reasons to be concerned with Obamacare and the  constitutionality of forcing millions to go against their religious belief. It goes into effect in March, 2013. 'Speaking like a dragon' could also apply to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that allows arrest and detention of US citizens without trial. “Many Americans were shocked to find out that this order gives the president practically unlimited power over US citizens and their property. All in the name of national security of course.”

This is for suspected terrorists of course, but some legislators have been concerned that this could include pro-life or gun rights activists, homeschoolers, returning veterans or Bible prophecy believers against New World Order as potential domestic terrorists.

News of joint drills with Russian soldiers in the US and the NATO troops planned drill in Chicago are ominous. The Milwaukee Red Cross was asked to ready places for refugees from Chicago’s planned exercise.

With leaders, laws and events striking at the foundations of America, we might expect a huge earthquake soon to outwardly manifest what is happening at the core. A national calamity May 6 or later could mean martial law for six months, a free by-pass of November’s elections and a welcome to New World Order.

Secret Service Personnel Scandal In Columbia Reignites Interest In The Concept Of The Female Spy

Several high ranking government officials recently questioned whether the Secret Service scandal in Columbia involved espionage on the part of the female participants. The concept of the female spy is not a new one, going back thousands of years. Adrianne Sainte Eve’s newest novel, 'Horizontal Collaborator', set during WWI, details the story of Violette, a rare female spy who becomes a double agent for France

Author Adrianne Sainte Eve released ‘Horizontal Collaborator’ long before the news of the Columbian Secret Service scandal hit newswires. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King addressed the risk of the actions of the Secret Service personnel in a recent interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN.  Adrianne Sainte Eve hoped to raise the interest level on the subject of female spies, but did not count on a modern day event being a catalyst for interest in the subject.

'Horizontal Collaborator' tells the tale of Violette, a rare female spy who engages in espionage for France during WWI. The main character in the new novel is reminiscent of Mata Hari. Adrianne Sainte-Eve is considered to be one of today's best spy authors and this newest book gives readers the opportunity to vicariously live the end of the Golden Age as the storyline follows female spy Violette on her journey from Madrid to Budapest and through the great Austro-Hungarian Empire.

“I wrote this book,” stated Sainte Eve, “as during WW1 the French and Germans regularly used women as espionage agents, thinking they had a natural talent for seduction and deception.  It is a little known fact that some of the best spies were women. This is proven by the reality that we know very little about them; most of their true identities were never discovered.“

In a review of ‘Horizontal Collaborator’, Allister Lang of All Books Considered stated, “Her characters are full of life and well thought out. Both bizarre and sublime, Sainte-Eve’s characters are geographically spread yet tightly connected. She seems to have gone to great lengths to research the social mores and class structures of that time period, which adds to the richness of her work. This novel was a pleasure to read. I’m looking forward to Sainte-Eve’s next book."

“Fans of female spy novels will enjoy this book,” stated Ms. Sainte Eve, “in that it is an insight into the personalities of the major players in the biggest drama of the century. We see that they are really just ordinary people who lived during the fall of the golden age and were driven by their circumstances, whether they are aristocrats or ordinary peasants.”

Adrianne Sainte Eve is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sainteeve@yahoo.com. More information is available at her website. ‘Horizontal Collaborator’ is available at Amazon.com in hardback, paperback and Kindle formats.
