Author bio:
Steve Gamlin is a man with a message, and he enjoys mixing that message with humorous stories, heartfelt emotion and powerful visuals. Since 1992, he has enjoyed life as a radio personality, emcee, entertainer, author, stand-up comedian and an award-winning professional speaker. In November 2008, he was awarded First Place in Toastmasters District 45 "Humorously Speaking" Competition. In May 2010, Steve won Third Place in the District 45 "International Speaking" competition. Throughout his career, one trait has remained constant: Steve is a 'regular guy' who has fulfilled his dream: a life spent sharing his passions for speaking, writing and inspiring others. He has never climbed Mount Everest, won an Olympic gold medal or walked a Hollywood red carpet. What he has done is blazed a trail from humble beginnings, experiencing incredible highs and heartbreaking lows to create a life he loves, inspiring others to identify and pursue their passions. Steve's message is simple: we all have the ability to make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of others. Through his presentations, books and recordings, he can inspire you to create a rewarding life of your own by making the right choices, having a positive attitude, and choosing to take the right actions (and enjoying the process)!

Your Pursuit of Greatness - a workbook by Ransom Stephens Your Pursuit of Greatness - a workbook by Ransom Stephens Dec. 02, 2011 $7.67 30276 words Sample 18%
Author bio:
Ransom Stephens, Ph.D., is a professor of particle physics turned writer and speaker. He has worked on experiments at Fermilab and CERN and was on the team that discovered the top quark. Ransom is an event curator for Litquake (San Francisco's Literary Festival) a longtime member of the San Francisco Writers Workshop, an award winning speaker, and the author of over 200 articles, essays, and stories on everything from quantum physics to parenting teenagers to the future of publishing. He grew up in Northern California, bouncing around the foothills of Mt. Diablo. His new novel, The God Patent (Numina Press), is set in the battle between science and religion over the nature of the soul and the origin of the universe and concludes with an adolescent math prodigy's discovery of how the soul works. So sayeth my publisher... As for me, I write books with strong characters and science integrated in the plot. I guarantee that the science is accurate, hopefully mind blowing, and mixed with enough plot/character tension to keep the story moving. I like books that move, deliver a close relationship between you and the characters and give you something to think about. I hope that the The God Patent delivers on these promises. Should it ever be relevant (and I hope it will be): I prefer beer to wine, tea to coffee, heavy metal rock to jazz, and I can be found at every Oakland Raiders home game.

Questions About Flooring You Were Afraid To Ask. by Bob Cornell Questions About Flooring You Were Afraid To Ask. by Bob Cornell Dec. 02, 2011 $0.99 28993 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
This is a comprehensive biography of: Robert W. Cornell ( Bob) 4401 Pinetree Close Cumming, GA 30041 (770) 781-9613 bobwcornell@comcast.net After attending and graduating from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science in 1961 I chose to become a Technical Representative for W.H. Curtin . W. H. Cutin was a distributor of laboratory apparatus and chemicals. I discovered shortly that Technical Representative was short for salesman in the dialogue of this company, so I began to “push” balances, where much to my surprise I became the leading salesman. I remained with the company until 1970 (61-70) and then entered the field of real estate. I had been told that I would accumulate a vast fortune. Upon spending $10,000.00 and seeing no fortune in sight, I founded my own company in 1972. This company was Jasper Janitorial Services which transformed approximately 15 years thereafter into C/F Janitorial Services. The latter specializes in the restoration (in other words-stripping and waxing)and maintenance of resilient tile flooring. ( the kind of flooring you see in most grocery stores and drug stores). C/F is a small company having only one employee. The following may sound self-serving, but I recently retired from C/F to devote the majority of my time to writing. In view of my lack of knowledge and the access others had to information in this field I began writing in 1996. My research was rather comprehensive and I finally introduced “Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Resilient Tile, But Were Afraid To Ask”. I have self published this work and have sold about 2 dozen copies. Needless to say, the effort on my first work got me “hooked” on writing. Writing is hard work, but I love it. I have written columns for local newspapers, The Forsyth County News, The Forsyth County Forum , and the North Georgia Star. The latter of which I became a columnist. I attend church . (my wife calls me a CE special)!! She sees me attend only on Christmas and Easter. I am married ( 49 years ) and have two great daughters who have given us three wonderful grandchildren. My interests other than writing are 1) inventing stuff for which I have been issued 5 patents 2) collecting VHS videos of which I have approximately 900 3) reading and 4) playing the drums. Although I am a party of one which thinks I am the greatest author in existence, the reality is that I try to be as good a writer as possible.

Have The Last Word – Write Your Own Obituary (And Learn to Live) by Craig C. Dunford Have The Last Word – Write Your Own Obituary (And Learn to Live) by Craig C. Dunford Dec. 01, 2011 $3.99 39032 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Who is Craig C. Dunford? I'm not so sure I know the answer just yet, but born 5/22/1942 into Mormon (now mostly "Jack Mormon")family in Salt Lake City...#2 of 7. I had a normal childhood, and worked in the baking industry for approximately 55 years. I suppose I say this to imply I've had a rather normal existence. Which is why this writing is rather abnormal for me, especially regarding the subject matter of my first book. I now occupy my time with golf, fishing, pool, inventing things, computers, piano, cooking, baking, and doing pretty much what Mrs. Dunford asks me to do. If you read my obituary you'll know that I never have, nor do I expect to ever like yard work. The experience of writing my obituary was valuable to me. I thought it might be the same for other ordinary people. It is not as far out as one might instinctively suspect.

Here is what others have said about John Baumann and his book: John Y. Brown Jr., 55th Governor of Kentucky, former Owner of the Boston Celtics and successful businessman: “John Baumann has used his life as an example and inspiration for others to follow. Decide Success offers wisdom and confidence on how to make the most out of your life and find happiness and fulfillment every step of the way. After you read it, you will say: “What a book! What a life!” Good luck John. You’re a good man and have a great message.” Amy McNeil, SARC Executive Director: “Your personal stories of growth and optimism struck a deep cord with those in attendance. If motivation was your only goal, you succeeded. However, if you were striving to inspire deep belly laughter, internal reflection, misty eyes, and a healthy dose of "open your eyes to the world that surrounds” as they say in Hollywood, you nailed it! Your engaging presentation left all conference-goers thinking about how to embrace and savour life. Conference evaluations only confirmed how I felt: ”Wow. Loved John Baumann as keynote speaker!!” “Such a motivated speaker. I will think of him and his life challenges when I am feeling down myself. I know I will not feel that way much longer.” “Wonderful presenter! Touching, funny, inspirational!” “John Baumann was excellent. I didn’t want the presentation to end. What a ‘Grand Finale’!” “Amazing!” Quality presenters are difficult to find, so I hope you don’t object to me recommending you to fellow colleagues." GJ Hart, Chief Executive Officer of California Pizza Kitchen and former CEO of Texas Roadhouse: “What an amazing book. As John says in the book, “Don’t give yourself a choice. Turn off the doubting Thomas in you. Silence the negative voice in your head” and read this book today. The best thing you can do for your personal and professional development is to read this book. So decide for yourself to succeed and read John’s book.” Matthew Hamel, Executive Vice-President, Brown-Forman Corporation: “John Baumann has taken on the biggest questions any of us can face (What do I want out of my life? How can I achieve it?) and described twelve specific, concrete steps that will lead each of us to the answers. These answers will, of course, be different for every reader, but John demonstrates that the process by which we arrive at them is not. John’s method requires each of us to be honest with ourselves – even uncomfortably so. This is the hard part, but John leads by example, sharing his own journey with a disarming frankness. As big as the issues are that John urges us to wrestle with, he makes them manageable and even fun with his down-to-earth style. Reading this book, you will get the sense that you are chatting with a wise friend, which makes the challenge he lays down for us seem all the more possible. Read this book with pen in hand; you will want to highlight the many nuggets of wisdom and return to them often as you work John’s method to conquer the world, or at least your corner of it.″ Shahin Shoostari, PhD, Fellow Conference Speaker: "I am just writing to tell you your talk has changed me, ...I came out of your talk a much stronger person...a much stronger caregiver....you are a great speaker John....with your positive attitude, and the great ability which you have to express your feelings, your opinions, and telling people your life story and your daughter, Katie's story, you could CHANGE lives.... I don't know how to express myself about the impact of your story on me John.....I was listening, I remember I cried, I laughed, I felt sad, and then happy....but at the end BEING STRONG, a much stronger person....as you were taking I was reflecting on my own life, on my own challenges....I found myself coming out of that session being a much stronger person....I am writing John, just to thank you for sharing your own story, and telling us how important it is to keep the positive attitude, but also take the time to rest and enjoy our lives and what we have. Your talk was fascinating, inspiring, relevant, practical...I was able to relate to what you were saying, even without having your challenges... I believe your talk would be good for everyone of us, for everybody regardless of the kinds of the problems and issues which we have......Being positive, being strong, enjoying life, helping others... I hope you continue telling people all about your life, and what has helped you to become who you are today......... Chris Campbell, Senior Vice-President, YUM Brands: “John – I just finished reading your book, and thought it was awesome. It is extremely well written, and filled with practical and useable advice supported by entertaining real life examples. The book is uplifting, energetic, enriching and inspirational. It provides a clear, common sense roadmap to improvement and success on all levels – professional and personal.” T. Vernon Foster, Director, University of Louisville Business Solutions: “I have been reading your book and I love the vision and passion you convey to your audience. There is much for the reader to learn and digest. The value is understanding the basic rules of engagement and to better one's outcome if they seize on your basic principles. I agree Thank you for sharing your personal journey in life with me.″ Debra Hoffer, President, Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana: ″John Baumann's passion for self-realization is contagious. Go ahead. Read this book and be everything you can be.″ Pamela Kell, Parkinsons Creative Collective: “In his book, Decide Success: You Ain’t Dead Yet, John Baumann has written a terrific guide to living deliberately. Intended to inspire people with Parkinson Disease to move forward and forego the temptation to think their life is over, through humor, personal experience and touching revelation he presents a methodology for success in dealing with chronic disease. His common sense analysis of the steps necessary to turn tragedy into opportunity and the methods to implement those steps, applies to anyone who is in need of direction and focus. I wonder how much more successful all our lives would be had we developed these habits as young people? It is good to know there’s still time because ‘We ain’t dead yet!’” Kathleen Crist, Executive Director, Houston Area Parkinsons Society: John: How do I thank you - let me count the ways .... you came, you thrilled, you brought people to tears, you brought people to laughter, but, most importantly, you inspired. Thank you
