Book Marketing, The 'Authors Marketing Powerhouse', Announces The Authors Show Lineup For The Week Of April 12, 2010
Friday, April 9, 2010
John J. Murphy, Author of Beyond Doubt, To Appear On The Authors Show TV Through March 2011
John J. Murphy, CEO of Venture Management Consultants and author of nine books, will appear on The Authors Show TV to discuss his latest release, Beyond Doubt: Four Steps To Inner Peace
John J. Murphy, an international business consultant and spiritual mystic, will be appearing on The Authors Show TV through March 2011 to discuss his latest release Beyond Doubt, Four Steps To Inner Peace.
In this book, Murphy invites readers to contemplate their own thoughts, actions, emotions, and choices. This book, his ninth, conveys the author’s powerful message of consciously welcoming positive energy into one's life rather than subconsciously resisting it. Readers will learn that challenging circumstances, stressful dilemmas, and difficult situations exist for a reason. Beyond Doubt helps people understand these reasons and facilitate the release of tension, anxiety, guilt, grief and fear from their lives. The challenge is to overcome the “root cause” to these feelings and doubts, a self-destructive thought-system subconsciously held in mind.
“I wrote this book,” stated Mr. Murphy, “to help people identify and release any subconscious beliefs holding them back. The world is full of fear and doubt, much of it held at the subconscious level of the mind. This means that many people do not even realize this fear exists. They simply respond to life with hesitation, doubt, resistance and limiting beliefs. Learning to live life ‘beyond doubt’ is a very freeing and enlightening experience. It is how we are meant to live. This is our true nature, our authentic self.”
It is not always easy to ‘let be and let go,’ two of the four steps in what Murphy calls ‘The Ring of Peace,’ a relatively simple model designed to help ordinary people experience extraordinary peace of mind. Though the Ring of Peace model is simple, it is an extremely powerful method for learning to overcome fear, stress, negativity and doubt.
“When times get tough,” Murphy continued, “it is quite common for people to cling to what they know, even if it is bringing them down. This is like grabbing an electric wire and instead of letting go we grip the wire tighter, causing further pain. We react with attachment rather than release. Even worse, we follow with behaviors like blame, denial, resistance and rationalization.”
Mr Murphy’s interview will appear on The Authors Show TV version through March 2011. Other media appearances include an interview with Paul Kopenkoskey in The Grand Rapids Press radio interviews on the Andy And Chuck show on WTRV in Grand Rapids, MI and an appearance on The Authors Show radio. He is available for interview and can be contacted using the information below or by email at johnmurphy@venturemanagementconsultants.com. Beyond Doubt: Four Steps To Inner Peace is available at the author’s website and Xlibris.

Author Carolyn Vines Believes Black Women Can Move Beyond Identity And Offers Inspiration To Travel Beyond Limitations
Bureau of Labor Statistics report paints a bleak picture for black women in the US in the short term. Author Carolyn Vines believes black women suffer as the result of internalized racism and sexism. She offers inspiration to all who wish to travel beyond identity in her soon to be released book, Black And (A)Broad
A recent article by Bobbi Bowman entitled Black And Income: What We Earn, based on a Bureau of Labor Statistics report, brought some sobering facts to light for black people living in America. The study showed that:
- The second highest employment-population ratio was held by black females at 59.1%
- Only 31% of management or professional jobs were held by black women, compared to 41% for white women and 46% for Asian women
- In 2008, the median usual weekly earnings of black women was $554 compared with $654 for white women. This means that black females' median earnings were roughly 85% of those earned by white females
“Americans,” stated Ms. Vines, “regardless of race, gender and ethnicity, have bought into racism and sexism. Sadly, this legacy of internalized racism and sexism continues to be embedded in our collective identity despite electing our first black president, Barack Obama. How bleak will the results of the 2010 Census be for black female identity, which has historically born the burden of internalized racism and sexism?”
Median household incomes as shown in the 2008 Bureau of Labor report estimates are $69,047 for Asians, $56, 648 for Whites, $41,630 for Hispanics or Latinos and $35,086 for Blacks or African Americans. The article proposes that this may be due to the fact that so many black families are headed by black women.
“Black women,” continued Ms. Vines, “cannot control racism and sexism. We can, however, choose to create an identity that transcends the limitations imposed by their legacy. Black and (A)broad was written to inspire and empower black women to do just that."
Black And Abroad describes how after moving from New Orleans Carolyn finds herself in the land of windmills, wooden shoes and endless gray skies. As she moves away from the remnants of her tragic childhood and America’s obsession with race, she is plunged into the depths of homesickness and depression. She travels through motherhood and a career change, and her determination is put to the test. On the way to self-discovery, she ends up finding love, soul sisters and is inspired to travel beyond the limits imposed upon her by race. In this mid-life memoir, Carolyn writes candidly about how being mistaken for a prostitute in Austria, losing her passport in Cuba and dealing with Dutch people on their bikes (among other quirky adventures) have changed her ideas about being a black woman in the world. Black and (A)broad is to be released in August 2010.
Ms. Vines is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email atcarolynvines@yahoo.com. More information on her forthcoming book is available at her website at www.blackandabroad.com.
Profile:
Carolyn Vines hails from Indianapolis, USA. Her passion for language has led her to teach Spanish, English and literature at universities in America and The Netherlands. It has also led her into a career as an author, editor and translator. Her work has been published in local Dutch English language papers and The Telegraph. She speaks Spanish and Dutch and last year translated a novel by a critically-acclaimed Curaçaoan author. As the result of her life experiences, she believes it is possible to travel beyond identity and offers inspiration to travel beyond limitations.
Ms. Vines’s website was the 2009 Black Weblog Award Winner for Best International Blog. She is currently writing her first book about her twenty years’ experience living and traveling abroad. Look for Black And (A)broad early in August of 2010.
