Where Do We Go From Here: a story of Courage, Redemption and Truth
by Patricia Bonelli

Patricia Bonelli built a successful twenty-year career in law enforcement, even though she started life on the wrong side of the law. As a teenager, she was neglected by parents and quickly learned how to survive on the streets by offering the only thing of value she thought she had-her body. As a single teenage mom, Patricia began a seemingly impossible turnaround to save her own life, so she could save her children. Through resourcefulness, determination, and sheer guts, she made it from one side of a holding cell to another. Her story shows that choice determines destiny and that new choices are always possible. No one is beyond redemption. And she shows us all that adversity can be our greatest teacher if we are courageous enough to embrace its gifts. An inspiring read that will change the way you see those on both sides of the law.

You can purchase this book on Amazon.com or on Patricia’s website: www.lifecoachandmentor.com.

Media Tips for Authors: How to Get Free Publicity for Your Book
by Whitney M. Keyes

After the Book is Written – Then What? Writers tend to be introverts, happy to be hunkered down in front of our computers, communing with our keyboards. Writing is a solitary activity. We like it that way. On the other hand, nearly all writers want to be published authors. We want other people to read our beautiful words. Otherwise why write them? But once we do achieve that hoped-for nirvana, publication, an upsetting thing happens. Our books will just sit there on a bookstore’s shelf (until they are returned) if we don’t talk about them. Talk about them out loud. To other people. We have to learn how to market, sell, and promote. OMG. Not what we thought we were getting into. Not what we’re good at.

What’s a way around this problem? Well, we can get other people to talk about our books for us. Preferably people in the media, who can get even more people to listen to them. But that means we have to talk to the media. And we don’t know how to do that either. Now what? Read this deceptively short and simple booklet, “Media Tips for Authors: How to Get Free Publicity for Your Book”. Have you ever noticed that all the truly useful tools are usually the short and simple ones?

Keyes’ book is such a useful tool, managing to take a complex subject and break it down into a few easy steps. Then it shows you how to walk those steps, giving practical exercises and real-life examples of how authors can easily use the media to help them promote their books.

This sweet little gem of a book is available at www.WhitneyKeyes.com. If you’re an author wanting to sell your book, I recommend you hop over there and buy one.
