How To Sell Books: The Right Way, The Wrong Way - Article Released By Great Writers Publishing

The Great Writers Publishing article covers book promotion, audience targeting, segmentation, author websites, creating word of mouth and more

A new article entitled 'How To Sell Books - The Right Way, The Wrong Way' has been made available by Great Writers Publishing.

Written to help authors, publishers and other creators understand the basics of digital book marketing, the new article covers a wide range of topics including the importance of getting in front of segmented target audiences, optimization for those segments, Internet publicity, websites that create results and more.

The key to success for authors is to understand how target audiences discover and ultimately make purchasing decisions in the Internet environment. That process today is very different from the past, when bookstores were the primary outlets for books. Today authors and publishers must understand Internet marketing. This requires a specialized approach and that is dramatically different.

"A professional level book marketing plan is an absolute requirement if one hopes to create sales in today's very competitive Internet book marketing environment," stated a company spokesperson. "It is an unfortunate fact that many great books are never seen by the public as a direct result of a lack of Internet marketing skills on the part of the author or publisher. A huge percentage of the book buying audience uses the Internet to find books today. If a book is not visible to that audience, the end result is usually failure. Creating real awareness requires skill, knowledge and common sense."

Great Writers Publishing takes a hybrid approach to publishing. Formed by partners with decades of experience in Internet marketing, publicity and media, the company pulls the best strategies from both traditional publishing and self-publishing models to create a hybrid publishing approach that makes sense in today’s consumer-driven digital environment. Their goal is to get the best product into the hands of targeted book buyers, to maximize profits and to reduce costs. They attempt to cut through all the hype and hearsay to produce marketing models that produce results for authors and publishers.

The article is available at the Great Writers Publishing site. Questions may be directed to don@greatwriterspublishing.com. More information is available at the company's website at http://www.greatwriterspublishing.com.

About Great Writers Publishing:

Great Writers Publishing follows a hybrid publishing model. The company focuses on marketing from start to finish, from publishing through production and promotion. They pull the best strategies and techniques from various publishing models and drop the rest. This approach results in a publishing model that is totally unique; one that is specifically designed to create marketing results in today's Internet book marketing environment.

Effects of Child Abuse: Long Term Effects Are Devastating Says Martha DuSage, Author Of Book About Recovery From Abuse

Recent events involving the Duggar family have again brought the issue of abuse to the forefront of our consciousness. Martha DuSage believes it is silence that perpetuates abuse of any kind

The recent Duggar controversy has brought child abuse back to the headlines. Martha DuSage, author of 'Why Bother? Because Self Help Is Never Stupid', believes that the subject is being whitewashed. Many other articles have proposed that this is the case. Jason Easley, in an article entitled "Fox News Interview Backfires Instead Shows Why Duggars Should Never Be Allowed Back On TV", on PoliticusUSA stated, "Fox News thought they were helping to save the Duggars, but in reality, they did the public a favor by showing the world why this family should not be allowed on national television."

"I know from personal experience," DuSage stated, "that this type of thing resurfaces at some point in life. The Duggar's minimization of Josh's behavior, and the imposing of their beliefs, is exactly what has caused so many victims to not speak up."

"Like, many survivors, I am estranged from the people who made excuses for abuse, allowing it to be acceptable, so they could remain in denial, avoiding the responsibility to deal with the issue. I heard them use God, religion, forgiveness, and more, as excuses for doing nothing to help me recover. I was supposed to 'just get over it', words that trigger re-victimization in survivors. Often survivors are rebuked for speaking up, which is not an expression of love and support. Dismissal and indifference toward abuse is a sick way of showing love."

Martha has stepped through the looking glass of dysfunction and abuse to discover, what we can all discover, an end to suffering. Through over 20 years of practicing heart-centered conscious knowing, she has first-hand wisdom, rather than clinical experience to share; helping others to see things in a new light regarding their abuse has become a passion of Martha’s. By practicing this heart-centered knowing, a peace within can be created.

DuSage's latest book, 'Why Bother? Because Self Help Is Never Stupid', was written to encourage readers to find a deeper knowing, awareness and appreciation for why it is important to bother. Everyone wants ways to step beyond just coping and into moments of peace, joy and contentment. She shows readers that living through heart-centered conscious knowing and integrity provides a sense of strength, courage, support and comfort while facing the sometimes uncomfortable truth of reality. It covers a wide range of topics, including creation, miscreation, co-creation, ego, embracing and acceptance of all aspects of self and others, forgiveness, abuse, dysfunction, meditation and exercises to process fear and anger but with an element of lightness and humor that isn’t always common in self-help books.

"My goal in writing this book," DuSage concluded, is to help survivors, and those who don’t recognize that they experienced abuse, see that their abuse occurred in more than one way. Too often abuse is dismissed by other using shame, blame, guilt, denial, anger, and indifference, leaving survivors feeling rejected and alone. Recognition will help survivors empower themselves, and take charge of their will to heal. In doing so, we can propel the eradication of abuse.”

Martha DuSage is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at martha@marthadusage.com. 'Why Bother? Because Self Help Is Never Stupid' is available at Amazon and other book retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.MarthaDuSage.com.

About Martha DuSage:

Martha Du’Sage is a writer, speaker, teacher, facilitator, and the best-selling author of 'Why Bother? Because Self-Help is Never Stupid'. Martha has overcome dysfunction and abuse to discover an end to suffering. Through over 20 years of practicing heart-centered conscious knowing, she has first-hand wisdom, rather than clinical experience to share; helping others to see things in a new light regarding their own abuse has become her passion.

Along with being a student of conscious awareness for over 25 years, she has received certification in NLP, Deeksha – Oneness Blessing, Reiki, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, body wrapping, fitness and nutrition.

Currently, she is in the process of developing several workshops, including “The Heart Pillar” which was introduced in her book and is a powerful tool in creating a pillar of personal empowerment. She offers a variety of private sessions to help other discover the “I AM”.

Hope Point Press has announced they have opened their doors to published authors who hope to achieve marketing success in today's digital driven marketplace.  It is challenging to write and publish a book, especially in today's environment.  Getting the book published is only half the battle.  Marketing is the other half of that battle and it is marketing that is of primary concern for most authors.

Social media, blogging, book signings, running advertisements, radio and television interviews - all of these are tools authors must have in their tool kit.  But do these actually produce sales?  In many cases the answer is no.  The explosive growth of the Internet offers a real opportunity for self-published authors, but the marketing methods that will produce success in this environment are very different from what will produce success in the real world.  In that so many book buyers use the Internet to explore discover and make purchasing decisions Internet Marketing becomes the primary focus for self-published authors today.  Unfortunately there is a lot of unproven hype regarding what will produce real results for authors.  

Hope Point Press offers tools and techniques that have proven to create success.  Their services are groundbreaking and eliminate the guesswork.  This allows the author to make informed decisions before spending money or guessing.

"I started this publishing company in order to educate writers on the exact steps to publishing and marketing their books professionally without making the expensive blunders that I made earlier on," Iwenofu stated. "Selling books is a very difficult task that can leave any author frustrated who is trying every method they think works but have little to show for it. I know because I was there. I did radio commercials, news ads, guest interviews, hours and hours of social media while even flying out to California to appear on a show that I was told had over 2 million listeners only to come up empty in sales. It felt very demoralizing to me after having spent over $5,000 in expenses without even getting $500 in sales. So I was really heartbroken until I discovered the real secret to selling my books and why it works. And as I went along, different people would ask me on how to go about getting their book out there. So after a while of thinking, I decided of creating a website on every step necessary to publishing and marketing books with the proven techniques that really do work backed by data rather than theory."

It just delivers the truth to any author who wants to be successful writing and selling books without the hype."

Acclaimed Author Daniel P. Douglas Releases New Science Fiction Adventure Novel, 'The Outworlds: War Torrent'

Daniel P. Douglas is a multi-genre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes. The new novella, ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent,’ mixes military and metaphysical science fiction with alien conspiracies in an epic tale with unlikely heroes

Author Daniel P. Douglas announced the release of ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent,’ a new science fiction adventure novel that is the first in a series. In ‘War Torrent,’ ancient reptilian aliens clash in a war that is the start of a new interstellar crusade orchestrated by evil ethereal entities whose intent is radical genetic purification of the galaxy, and Earth’s Stone Age humans are their next target.

Published by Geminid Press, LLC, ‘War Torrent’ is a novella, and the first book in ‘The Outworlds,’ a series of science fiction adventures set in the early twenty-fourth century at the fringe of human civilization. “Although ‘War Torrent’ steps outside that timeline,” Daniel P. Douglas said, “You can bet that its prequel events, characters, and technology will have a major influence on the continuing storyline in ‘The Outworlds.’”

Douglas went on to say, “The book draws on the mystery of ancient aliens, in particular, reptilian humanoids, and related speculations about their alleged, past involvement with humans and possible engineering of our genes. It’s also a military science fiction story with metaphysical and spiritual components. At times an outer space aliens conspiracy thriller, the bottom line is that ‘War Torrent’ is a good versus evil story with unlikely heroes on a collision course with destiny.”

Named a Foreword Reviews 2014 IndieFab Book-of-the-Year Awards Science Fiction Finalist, Douglas is also listed by BestThrillers.com as one of 2015’s Best New Mystery and Thriller Genre Writers. Douglas garnered these accolades in conjunction with his debut novel, ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.’ In it, readers plunge into a storyline featuring former FBI agent William Harrison, who finds himself hot on the trail of a major extraterrestrial cover-up.

Douglas is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at don@freepublicitygroup.com. ‘The Outworlds: War Torrent’ is available at Amazon.com. An interview with Douglas is currently running at The Authors Show site regarding his debut science fiction conspiracy thriller, ‘Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.’ More information is available at Douglas’ website at http://DanielPDouglas.com.

About Daniel P. Douglas:

Daniel P. Douglas is a U.S. Army veteran who has also served as a senior analyst in the U.S. intelligence community. A long-term civil servant, with degrees in Political Science and Russian Area Studies, Douglas has also worked in the museum profession. His travels have taken him throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean.

As an author, Douglas creates epic tales – of the past, present, and future – with the most unlikely of heroes, and calls upon them to join extraordinary and mysterious struggles. His characters' sometimes-reluctant choices and actions put them on a collision course with destiny and reveal unimaginable truths. Douglas is a multigenre author who turns ordinary people into extraordinary heroes.

New Christian Fantasy Fiction Novel, 'The Last Of The Thirteen', Released By Author John DeFilippis

In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, DeFilippis' new release offers a message of faith and hope while remaining true to the epic fantasy fiction form

Crossroad Press has released John DeFilippis’ latest novel, 'The Last of the Thirteen'. 'The Last of the Thirteen' is the fourth and final volume of DeFilippis’ epic fantasy series, 'The Medallion of Mavinor'. John's works have been compared to 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'Game Of Thrones'.

Picking up where “The Crusade Against Darkness” left off, the new fantasy fiction novel follows the crusaders’ plight as they aim to defeat Malgyron’s forces and eradicate the darkness once and for all. While some go their separate ways to fulfill specific roles that have been assigned to them, others march together to wage an epic battle that could well determine the fate of the world. But as the conflict comes to a head, all of them realize one thing—they will need more than just courage and might to win the day. For the most lethal weapon they wield is neither sword nor shield, but rather the faith that resides deep in their hearts.

“It’s been a joy to build this world and develop these characters over the course of the last several years,” DeFilippis said. “There is nothing more satisfying than seeing it through to the end and realizing that the dream has been fulfilled.”

DeFilippis had long wished to write a series of fantasy novels, ever since he read 'The Lord of the Rings' series as a young boy back in the 1980’s. Two decades would pass before he finally developed the concept for his epic tale, and immediately he began putting outlines together for each of the books. That process in and of itself took several years, and it wasn’t until after losing his job during the Great Recession that DeFilippis finally found the time to write page one.

Now, five years and 378,000 words later, his series of four books is complete and his lifelong goal has been attained. But that certainly doesn’t mean that DeFilippis is planning to put his pen down any time soon. “I’m just getting started,” he said. “It’s been a fantastic journey, and although I’m ready for a break from the world I created, I’m sure there will be more stories to tell.”

“Readers will enjoy this book,” DeFilippis continued, “whether they’re looking to strengthen their religious faith, be inspired in some way, or simply just searching for an exciting fantasy novel that features death-defying adventures and battles with mythical monsters. Laid on a strong moral foundation, this series is laden with Christian themes, biblical references, and aspects of spirituality that will make it appealing to any Christian reader, even those who otherwise might not be interested in the fantasy genre. But the religious overtones are also subtle enough that anyone who wishes to read it purely as a thrilling, epic adventure story can do just that.”

Dr. John DeFilippis is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below. All of DeFilippis' titles are available in print, ebook and pdf formats at Crossroad Press. More information is available at John DeFilippis’ website at http://www.DrJohnDeFilippis.com.

About Author John DeFilippis:

Dr. John DeFilippis grew up in the Greenville section of Jersey City, graduating from Our Lady of Mercy Grammar School in 1984. In 1988 he graduated from Saint Peter’s Prep and went on to study at Rutgers College in New Brunswick, New Jersey. After earning his Bachelor of Science degree, Dr. DeFilippis attended the School of Theology at Seton Hall University for three years, from 1993 to 1996. During this time he earned his master’s degree in theology and discerned a call to the Catholic priesthood. After ultimately deciding that he did not have a religious vocation, Dr. DeFilippis transitioned into the field of education.

He taught for four years at both the elementary and secondary levels, and earned a second master’s degree in educational administration. In 2000 Dr. DeFilippis made yet another transition, this time accepting an offer to become an academic administrator at Saint Peter’s University in Jersey City. He would spend the next seven years there, and in 2007 he completed his Ph.D. in educational leadership at Seton Hall University. After finishing his doctoral degree, he accepted an offer to become a director in the Division of Academic Affairs at New Jersey City University.

Author Brian Aull's New Release, 'The Triad', Offers a Vision To Bring Together a Divided Nation

Aull offers visionary yet practical solutions to the problems of partisan gridlock, money in politics, and growing economic inequality in the United States.  He bridges the divide between liberals and conservatives with refreshing moral clarity

Author Brian Aull has announced the release of 'The Triad: Three Civic Virtues That Could Save American Democracy'. The new book offers practical solutions to the problems eating away at American democracy. At the same time, it offers fresh approaches to help bridge the divide between liberals and conservatives.

The best books on politics sometimes come from authors who are not “experts.” 'The Triad’, authored by an engineer, is a case in point. Aull's vision offers solutions to the problems of partisan gridlock, money in politics, and growing economic inequality in the United States.   Bridging the divide between liberals and conservatives he advocates three civic virtues: service, learning, and community building. He calls for civic engagement based on these virtues as the key to changing the perverse incentives that lead to gridlock, media bias, and corruption, and creating a culture of collaboration. Applying these insights to specific issues, he points a path to widely shared prosperity, universal quality education, progress on race in America, the healing of the rift between science and religion, and American leadership for human rights and democratic values worldwide.

'The Triad' is not another book about politics. While other books about politics or political science study the system’s failures, Aull's book offers solutions based on civic engagement, service, community building, and collaboration.

Aull stated, "I wrote ‘The Triad’ to help Americans have the kinds of conversations that bring us together.  It lays out visionary goals for a better America. Instead of pointing fingers of blame, it advocates personal ownership of these goals, expressed through practical steps. The book title refers to the civic virtues of service, learning, and community, which enable us to create enduring solutions. The best political science books have documented the ill health of American democracy. Building on these works, ‘The Triad’ focuses on what each and every American can do to bring about the cure.  This focus on the power of the individual citizen to make a difference distinguishes ‘The Triad’ from many books on politics."

'The Triad' has received praise from a number of reviewers. Terrence Metz, Founding Principle and Partner at Morgan Madison and Company said the book is, "A wonderful approach about how to live in a democracy . . . any democracy." Peter Levine at Tufts University stated that 'The Triad' is "movingly and impressively written."

Brian Aull is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at bfaull19@gmail.com. 'The Triad' is available at Amazon. More information is available at his website at http://www.AwakenDemocracy.com.

About Brian Aull:

Brian Aull is from Indianapolis, Indiana. He studied electrical engineering at Purdue University and then at MIT, earning his Ph.D. in 1985. Since then, he has worked as a staff scientist at MIT developing solid-state image sensors.  He is also a passionate educator, teaching electrical engineering courses at Tufts University.  He spent one year as a visiting professor at the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.

A resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, he is active in the local community. He served on the boards of the Cambridge Peace Commission and the Coalition for a Strong United Nations.  He has taught spiritual education classes for children living in Cambridge.  The Triad was inspired in part by his many conversations with residents and local activists.

Unable to conceive on their own, they turned to donors and surrogates for help.

Landor, a donor at one time, faced a severe consequence of his lifestyle when he discovered that he was no longer able to father a child with his wife, Curvie. Unable to track down the donation he’d made years earlier, Landor and Curvie were forced to turn to another donor for help in creating their children.

While some parents are open to their children about how they were conceived, some are not. For Kalak, an unexpected knock on the door sheds light on his real identity, revealing the truth about his mother’s alleged one-night stand that led to his birth. His revealed identity became so upsetting to his wife, Mana, that it put his marriage and his beautiful life with his wife and two children on the verge of destruction.

The path to the success for any desire is praised today. Modern technology allows so many people access to whatever they want, whenever they want it. When someone decides they want to have a child, modern technology affords the opportunity for them to do so. The problem in our evolving society is that the parents’ quest for happiness often overshadows the potential consequences for their children and society in general.

"Infertility can be a problem for anyone," Hattendorf stated, "but the modern age offers many options to combat it for those who desire to have children. These immense possibilities, however, are tangled with dilemma. The problem in our evolving society is that the parents’ quest for happiness often overshadows the potential consequences for their children and society in general."

'An Evolving Society' was the recipient of the 2013 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award in the fiction category.

Jennifer Lang, Award Winning Author Of Political Thriller 'The Whistle-Blower's Confession', Now Appearing On The Authors Show

As an author and advocate, Lang turns her personal struggles into motivation to spread awareness about the use of 'secret' GMOs in food

Award-winning author and activist Jennifer Lang is now appearing on The Authors Show. In the interview, Lang discusses her latest political thriller, 'The Whistle-Blower's Confession'. Lang's book draws upon her own experience and exposes the rampant use of 'secret' GMOs in food.

Jennifer's journey began when her mother was diagnosed with soy allergy - a condition that was potentially lethal. Pulling from her own experience as an investigator, she set out to find the cause. The truth was so shocking that she eventually fictionalized the story, published it, and now uses her book to help spread the word about dangers of GMOs.

'The Whistle Blower's Confession' is a taut political thriller in which Kelly Anderson, an investigative reporter, discovers that the American people have been used as guinea pigs for years. Lang draws on her many experiences as an investigator, as a political science major, her experiences studying GMO’s and her substantial powers of creativity and imagination to craft a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats with story lines ripped from the headlines of current affairs.

"The Whistle-Blower’s Confession can best be compared to The Pelican Brief meets Silkwood," Lang stated. "The story of  Karen Silkwood, asserts that she was  possibly murdered to prevent her from exposing worker safety violations at the plant she worked at. In the fight against GMOs, there is a casualty that is sadly overlooked….that being the farm worker and in The Whistle-Blower’s Confession, he risks his life to unveil  all the secret cover ups of this biotech company with the aim of holding them accountable for their crimes."

Jennifer's works have received rave reviews and her book maintains a solid 5-star ranking on Amazon and Reader's Favorite.

Jennifer Lang is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at don@freepublicitygroup.com. All of her books are available at Amazon and other online retail outlets. She is currently appearing as a featured author on The Authors Show radio at http://www.theauthorsshow.com. More information is available at her website at http://www.thewbconfession.com.

About Jennifer Lang:

Author Jennifer Lang has always been a vibrant and creative person, so it's no surprise that she would turn to writing and set her hand to an exciting psychological thriller.

She is an entrepreneur, with her own independent record label producing her own music. But as she found out, life is a highway with many turns, exits and destinations. Jennifer had both feet firmly on the music path when tragedy intervened and her mother became very ill.

Jennifer's motto is never give up and as she faced her mother's illness and taking care of her, she couldn't just stop there. As she became a caregiver, the keen curiosity and investigative inclinations that served her in college as a political science major helped her uncover that many of the issues her mother suffered from could be traced back to GMO's. And that's when the seeds of her book 'The Whistle Blower's Confession' were planted. Jennifer believes that you only fail if you never try, so she turned her hand to writing.

Paranormal Fantasy Romance Author Vanayssa Somers Releases New Contemporary Romance Novel, 'Sacred Trust'

Somers writes paranormal fantasy romance and contemporary romance that revolves around trusting one's heart, overcoming challenges and transformation

Paranormal fantasy romance author Vanayssa Somers has announced the release of her latest contemporary romance book, 'Sacred Trust'. Somers' work centers on issues that all romance readers enjoy - trusting one's heart, overcoming challenges and transformation. 

In 'Sacred Trust', Jan Kendall is the wife of a U.S. Congressman, enjoying the limelight and all its privileges. One day, for good reasons, she flees their elegant home, private jet, holiday homes, and big bank account.

In west coast wilderness she settles to build a real, meaningful life founded on strong friendship and true connection to the earth. But as time goes on, Jan realizes that her high-flying, immensely powerful husband is looking for her and won't take 'no' for an answer. Crime in high places is going to change her life even more than she could have imagined. She sees two choices, run scared for the rest of her life or bring the man she once loved to justice. Taking her own power for the first time, she sets out on a path that will test every ounce of courage she ever possessed.

"Although romantic love is often set aside as a frivolity of life," Somers stated, "the truth is quite different, as anyone who has loved and won or loved and lost, can tell you. Whether we face up to the constraints and joys that true love brings, or flee from it for any one of a thousand perfectly believable reasons, what we may be really doing is surrendering our power to our fears or moving through them to something new. That something will be packed with mysterious rewards and predictable perils. Whether we learn to sail, to develop athletically, to climb the deadly Himalayas, to write good poetry, or to become someone's life partner, anything that offers new horizons and vast hidden properties and experiences, is a place where we stand our ground or back away. It all takes tremendous, invisible transformative courage and personal will."

"Romance, much like the summit of Mount Everest, stands in the distance, always in our view, challenging us to do better, become more, stand and be counted. Be a lover, a good one. Be a wife or husband, the best kind. Be a mother or father, the most outstanding you can be. It's all tied in together...all tied in to Love. Trust. Step out. Be transformed. Yes, it might hurt. But oh, you will be more, so much more, when you reach life's best and final turning. And the basket of talents you bring to God at the end will be so pleasing...to both of you."

Somers' previous work includes 'Pagan Flames', a paranormal romance novel set during the Spanish Inquisition in 15th century Majorca. In 'Pagan Flames', a young orphaned girl who lives with Nuns commits to undergo secret training in the Brilliant Arts. Knowing she will die an agonizing death at the stake if discovered, she chooses to trust her Teacher in the Wizardly skills of Shapeshifting, Time Travel, and Flight.

'Pagan Flames' has received rave reviews. One reader stated "Pagan Flames is one of the best supernatural romance books I have ever had the pleasure of reading." Another said, "I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Vanayssa Somers made the story and the characters come to life in a way that few authors are able to do." Another called 'Pagan Flames' "absolutely delightful . . ."

Vanayssa Somers is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at horses21@shaw.ca. 'Pagan Flames' and 'Sacred Trust' are available in paperback and Kindle versions at Amazon. More information is available at her website at http://www.paranormalfantasyromance.com.

About Vanayssa Somers:

Vanayssa grew up in the deep forests of Vancouver Island. Over the years she trained as an R.N., working in hospitals in different parts of the world, before she earned a B.A. in Sociology from University of Victoria. She has worked as a Reiki Master, Psychic and NLP counselor.

She is a graduate of The Monroe Institute and a follower of Bruce Moen's books and website, She works in soul retrieval and connection with her family in the Afterlife. She believes romantic love to be one of life's highest experiences. Writing romance is her joy.

Elon University Features Frances Fuller, Award Winning Author Of 'In Borrowed Houses', As Guest Speaker At Recent Event

Fuller's memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses' details her many years spent in Lebanon as a Christian publisher. It is an utterly unique and engaging book that could have been written by no other person

Frances Fuller, author of 'In Borrowed Houses', was a guest speaker at Elon University, Burlington, N.C., on May 7, 2015.  Drawing on thirty years of experience in the Middle East, Fuller addressed a large group of faculty, staff and students in the university’s Numen Lumen Center.  Her topic was “Faith and Love in Wartime Lebanon.”  She also answered questions from the audience, and following her lecture, the local Barnes and Noble Bookstore handled sales while Fuller signed books.

"My talk," Fuller stated, "was really on 'How to Think About the Middle East'. Lebanon is a microcosm of the Middle East critical to the outcome of the current upheaval which is partly about the inability to live with diversity.  The Lebanese have already fought about that and learned that no one is strong enough to subjugate the others. Lebanon is the most diverse country in the Middle East, and they have to live together.  It is that or suicide."

"Lebanon's population of four million is trying to take care of two million refugees, and its infrastructure is on the verge of collapse. What the world can do to save Lebanon is to help take care of these refugees.  We (Americans) did a lot to help create the mess the Arabs are in, and w can't help solve the problems without acknowledging that. If we don't have any guilt we are not thinking very well."

Told in short episodes, Fuller’s book reveals the alienation, confusion and courage of civilians in the Lebanese civil war, introducing to the reader a variety of real people with whom the author interacts: editors, salesmen, neighbors, refugees, soldiers, missionaries, lawyers, shepherds, artists, students. With these people she works, studies, plays games, prays, laughs and cries, all to the accompaniment of gunfire. Together these small stories tell what war is like for civilians caught on a battlefield, and they create the impression of the Lebanese as a fun-loving, witty, patient and resilient people. They also compose, not a political history, but a historical document of a time and a place.

Critics have praised  ‘In Borrowed Houses.’ A judge in the 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards called 'In Borrowed Houses' “…a well written book full of compassion…a captivating story…”. Another reviewer described the book as “Wise, honest, sensitive, funny, heart-wrenching…”. Colin Chapman, lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut said, “….western Christians and Middle Eastern Christians need to read this story…full of remarkable perceptiveness and genuine hope.”

'In Borrowed Houses' took top honors in the 2014 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' book awards. Frances was chosen as the result of her appearance on The Authors Show Radio. She also took a Bronze Medal in the Illumination Book Awards

A video of Fuller's lecture can be viewed on Elon’s Education on Demand website: http://blogs.elon.edu/ondemand/2015/05/07/. Frances Fuller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at frances0516@att.net. Fuller's book is available at Amazon and other book retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.inborrowedhouseslebanon.com.

About Elon University:

As noted in Elon University's mission statement, “Preparing students to be global citizens” is central to the mission of Elon University, and it has turned its interfaith chaplaincy into a national model program, serving students of all religious backgrounds and providing activities and lectures that promote dialogue.

About Frances Fuller:

Frances Fuller spent thirty years in the violent Middle East and for twenty-four of those years was the director of a Christian publishing program with offices in Lebanon. While leading the development of spiritual books in the Arabic language, she survived long years of civil war and invasions.

Frances holds degrees in Journalism, Creative Writing and Religious Education, and she studied Arabic at Georgetown University. She and her husband, James Wayne Fuller, live now in the foothills of the Sierras in California. They have five children, ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Psychics, Mediums And Life After Death: Pat Chalfant, Author of 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship', Offers Guidance

Is there proof of life after death? Pat Chalfant, a credentialed Spiritualist medium, offers convincing proof

The belief in an afterlife offers hope to a very large percentage of the human race. But where is the proof? Unfortunately, without verifiable evidence, we are forced to rely on faith and hope. That opens the door for deception, as there are many people who are more than willing to play off our fear of death in exchange for money. Movies, television shows, psychics, and many other forms of entertainment, masquerading as mediumship, attempt to sensationalize contact with the 'other side'. Unfortunately many people believe that's reality. Pat Chalfant, author of 'Spirit Lights, A Path To Mediumship', urges people to be cautious, as true mediumship is another thing altogether.

"I realize," Pat stated, "that society’s collective belief about mediums has been largely based on television shows that have purportedly described the lives of real, working mediums, but were actually concocted by writers and producers whose only purpose was to produce fast-paced, terrifying shows that made money, while ignoring the reality of the lives and purposes of true mediums."

"I am a Spiritualist medium.  Everything I do as a medium is solidly based on my certainty that we continue to live after death.  Spiritualists call this concept 'The Continuity of Life.' As a result, each time I do a reading for someone, I know I am likely to receive a vivid image or verbal description that will identify a 'dead' person to my living client, something that can convince him that someone he cared for in life is still alive and well on the Other Side."

"One Sunday as I gave readings in the message part of the worship service in our church, The Chapel of the Flowers, in Panorama City, CA, I saw a beautiful vase, very delicate and fragile.  I described it to the young man I was reading for and he thanked me, then explained that the vase I described  was the one his beloved spiritual teacher, who had since passed away, had given him years before.   It meant to him that she was there that day and wanted him to know she was.  It was like a special spiritual reunion and he and I were both deeply touched."

"The difference between the Christian belief that we continue to live after death (based on Jesus’ return after his crucifixion), and the Spiritualist’s belief in the Continuity of Life is that mediums routinely bring actual evidence of life after death to clients and/or church members while those predicting life after death who are not mediums have no 'proof' to offer."

"I can think of no more exciting prospect in life than my daily anticipation of perhaps delivering such proof to people, knowing that I can give them spiritual inspiration by bringing evidence of life after death.  I thank God (Spirit) daily because by renewing someone else’s belief in eternal life, perhaps even making them believers for the first time, God works through us to take away the most  widespread, debilitating emotion in the world — mankind’s fear of death.  I can’t imagine a greater purpose to have in this world  than that."

'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship', explains how Pat, a real skeptic regarding such matters, developed mediumship abilities and now lives a life transformed by the spiritual. Mediumship is a controversial issue and Pat understands this, but she also believes that credible mediumship holds the promise of real benefits for mankind that have not been fully explored.

In addition to offering one-on-one client consultations, Pat has penned the 'Spirit Lights Song Book' and three of those songs are in the National Spiritualist Association of Churches hymn book. There are samples of the words and music on her web site, www.patchalfant.com, and ‘Spirit Lights’ song books for sale there, too. She does readings for clients by phone and teaches mediumship development classes. She has also created a DVD entitled 'Spirit Lights Psychic Development DVD'.

Pat Chalfant is currently appearing on The Authors Show. Her interview is available now at The Authors Show site. 'Spirit Lights A Path To Mediumship' is available at her website and at Amazon. Pat is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pat.chalfant@patchalfant.com. Pat maintains a Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9qOQWIWR-DUL8hBDqE5TnQ.  She is also available for inspirational lectures. More information is available at her website at http://www.patchalfant.com.

About Pat Chalfant:

Oregon Spiritualist Medium Pat Chalfant's amazing psychic gifts have helped hundreds of individuals worldwide. Pat has written a column on parapsychology and interviewed Hollywood stars and the psychics who read for them for a national newspaper. Other topics she’s taught and written about are: past life therapy, death and dying, the Edgar Cayce work, the Cathars, and Spiritual healing.

The Association for Past Life Research and Therapies newsletter published a series of her interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists, and hypnotherapists who were all west coast pioneers of past life therapy. Pat believes that series is destined to become a book.

She teaches internationally online and also hosts an online Spiritualist circle, Spirit Lights Chapel.

Inspirational Christian Book Author Pamela Bush Announces Release Of 'Finding Joshua'

Pamela Bush's works are inspiring, enriching, compelling and focused. 'Finding Joshua' is her first Christian romance fiction novel

Inspirational Christian book author Pamela Bush has announced the release of 'Finding Joshua'. The new release is her first Christian romance novel.

One minute Joshua and Elizabeth are driving down a snowy road discussing a pack of photos in her hands; the next there is a crash, all goes black. Elizabeth then wakes up in a bizarre world. She is fascinated to learn she is no longer in Michigan. Instead she finds herself standing in front of an antique store in New Orleans.

'Finding Joshua' is about what could have been and reality colliding as Elizabeth struggles between life and death, deciding whether to come back to her present day family or stay in her fantasy dream world.

"I wrote this book," Pamela stated, "from an actual photo of my then 17 year old husband.  It was given to us by his mother.  It was taken in New Orleans and Tom is seen walking on the sidewalk in front of an antique store.  I studied the photo and wished I could have known him then; instead of us meeting almost seven years later.  Suddenly, the light bulb went on and the idea of 'Finding Joshua' was born."

Pamela Bush is a prolific writer of Christian fiction and nonfiction books. She started writing at the age of 12. She and her husband have lived in many places all over the world. Pamela draws on this experience and knowledge to write novels full of Biblical principals and relevant problem solving for today’s situations. A strong desire to help people cope, coupled with the gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit of God, prompted her to begin writing. In all of her books she strives to inspire others and to enrich their lives.

Pam’s books motivate and positively influence readers and are for anyone who struggles, not just Christians. Her writing provides a sense of kindred spirit and positive input in negative situations, help people resolve personal issues, hold their interest through engaging storylines and will bring hours of enjoyment. All of her works center on integrity, morals, wholesome living and family friendly values.

Her first contemporary Christian novel, loosely based on the Book of Job, was titled 'Out of the Whirlwind' and was published in 2008. Its sequel, 'Out of the Snare' was published Feb. 23, 2010. 'Out of the Mire' soon followed in November 2011. In May 2013, Pamela’s first non-fiction was released entitled 'The Fire Within: Fighting Through Adversity', detailing her son's struggles with Crohn’s and other serious health issues.

Pamela Bush is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pamelabush2010@gmail.com. All of her books are available at her website and Amazon. More information is available at her website at http://www.pamelabushauthor.com.

Profile:

Pamela Brovont Bush was born in Hastings, Michigan. In 1973 she married Tom Bush. They have traveled the world together. She has two married children, six grandchildren and two cats.

Children's Books That Build Self Esteem – Positive Psychologist Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Announces No-Charge Download Of Two Ebook Samplers

Dr. Holstein believes building self esteem is of the highest priority today for girls, tweens and teens. She now offers two free ebook samplers from two of her best selling books,  'The Truth' and 'Secrets'

Books for girls, tweens and teens can be found everywhere. Only a few offer ways to help kids build self esteem. Even fewer are based in real world scenarios. And fewer still are written by a Positive Psychologist. Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein now offers free ebook samplers from two of her most popular books - 'The Truth, I'm A Girl, I'm Smart And I Know Everything' and 'Secrets, You Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine - Maybe'.

Both books are written from the perspective of a young girl and take the form of diary entries. Any parent or teacher can start a great discussion about the issues brought up by the situations in either book: a first crush, her emotions and longings, growing up, parents fighting, school anxieties, problems with best friends, bullying, fear of moving to a new town, sibling rivalry, anxiety about illness, how to navigate growing up and many more.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, one of the originators of Positive Psychology for women and girls, has been a pioneer in the field of positive psychology with her fictional diary format. Both fiction books are intentionally embedded with positive psychology concepts on almost every page.  They read easily as a diary, yet are loaded with the best of positive psychology principles.  Embedded in the girl's diary pages are such concepts as: hope, resiliency, courage, perseverance, loving kindness, cognitive flexibility, problem solving skills, recognition of one's strengths, talents and potential, adaptive skills and more.

"Research validates what we psychologists and educators already know about girls," Dr. Holstein stated. "They often stop trying as hard in school around 10 or 11 and begin to experience many self-esteem issues that may lead to all sorts of problems, from deteriorating academic success to eating disorders, various types of conduct disorders and/or depression.  If these risk factors are combined with other social issues like being bullied, we can begin to see how dangerous these years can be. One way to help girls grow up successfully is through books that encourage them to feel strong, resilient, hopeful and sure of themselves.  Once a girl feels strong and hopeful she is on the way to maintaining the skills she needs emotionally and intellectually to succeed."

"These books fill a void in communicating. Both 'The Truth' and 'Secrets' can help parents, grandparents and educators initiate conversations about issues that impact children, grandchildren and students.  And they also give kids, tweens and teens the courage they need to initiate long overdo family conversations and sharing of feelings, thoughts and creative solutions to everyday issues."

Dr. Holstein is making free ebook samples from both books available at www.payhip.com/drbholstein. Both books are available in Kindle and epub formats. Dr. Holstein can be contacted by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.DrBHolstein.com.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, internationally known Positive Psychologist is the creator of The Enchanted Self ®, a positive psychology method for happiness.  She is in private practice in Long Branch, New Jersey with her husband, Dr. Russell M. Holstein.

She has been a contributor to Heart and Soul, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Redbook, Real Simple, The Wall Street Journal, Time on line, the Today Show and Family Circle Magazine.
