How to Survive the Next 365 by Klarque Garrison How to Survive the Next 365 by Klarque Garrison Oct. 16, 2010 $4.95 32529 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
There were so many reasons for writing this book. Ultimately, I settled for “Your voice needed to be heard”. I began heeding my inner voice and connecting with life. I saw life with my 3rd eye and it was glorious. I had only to ask and create those thoughts into the most perfect word…”Action”. And so after witnessing life at a greater level of understanding, I was called to share this clarity with all who would hear its beautiful voice. I was born in Los Angeles, CA and raised by a single mom with little to no education. However, what she lacked in education she made up in unconditional love. I came to writing much like most authors, it chose me! Writing became a tangible voice that could be heard and always spoke true. This book “How to survive the next 365” takes the reader on a journey of understanding that you truly hold the answers for a better life. My life has thus far been a true testimony of this revelation. I’ve owned and operated, even partnered several very successful businesses. 13 years of experience in real estate investing and negotiating terms with hundreds of lenders around the country have compelled me to master “The Art of believing in the power within me”. It is my hope that this book can do the same for you! Klarque Garrison

Yes we can!!! God's manual on self talk. by Free From Bondage Ministry Yes we can!!! God's manual on self talk. by Free From Bondage Ministry Oct. 21, 2010 Free! 11168 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Free From Bondage Ministry was started just a few short years ago. As a newly ordained minister, I felt that too many people were tinkering around with God's Word. Translating it into what made them comfortable, rather than how God's Word could help them be accountable and truly righteous. And the stakes are too high to be tinkering. It is your eternal life you are gambling with. Because there is a distinct difference between saying to believe in God, and acting as a believer in God. And that difference could make all the difference for your salvation. The message from Free From Bondage Ministry is simple, yet not easy. But we have seen "miracles" that even many with a strong faith discard as "impossible". Which made us aware that the message we got from God needed to be brought to a bigger public. Hence these books. There is more information available at our website: www.freefrombondage.weebly.com And yes, we are a very small ministry. No bells and whistles, no fancy stuff. We use what comes our way to spread God's Word. So referrals are highly appreciated. May God bless you, Free From Bondage Ministry.

Who Sleeps In your Skin? by Nicholas De Stefano Who Sleeps In your Skin? by Nicholas De Stefano Nov. 05, 2010 $0.99 6269 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
Gifted with natural abilities, Nick is an Industrial Engineer. As a young entrepreneur (circa ten years of age) Nick’s first venture, a neighborhood bicycle repair business. Additionally, he established a mobile shoe shinning business that existed for several years. Where-ever they were he would perform his magic on his customers’ shoes resulting in a loyal following. Moreover, this was Nick’s first positive response to a marketing campaign by offering a choice of quality to the customer’s shined shoes. The customer selected the price and quality of shine for their shoes. While continuing to shine shoes and restless and wanting to further advance himself, he worked at a local gas station part time for several years at various jobs and over time that included pumping gasoline into automobiles and cleaning their windshields as well as changing automobile tires, eventually graduated to perform small repairs on automobiles. Labor laws were very relaxed at that time. As a restless young man who dropped out of high school where he was actively involved in the high school woodworking program, Nick decided to adventurously join the US Army where it was discovered that he had an exceptionally high mechanical aptitude. There, he trained as a Fuel and Electrical Systems repairman and worked on truck and tank engines keeping the vehicles running smoothly for our troops in France. While stationed in France, Nick completed the requirements for his GED and met his Canadian born, future bride. Upon leaving military service, Nick worked as an automobile mechanic for a short time while the courageous lust and desire for new adventures and challenges for himself and family stirred within. Desiring a new direction and to expand his learning experiences, he began his sales career with the Fuller Brush Company selling home cleaning products directly to housewives door to door. Always wanting to progress and move forward, Nick entered the Life Insurance business with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company where he worked as a debit agent collecting weekly life insurance premiums. Moving on to Prudential Life Insurance Company, Nick became one of the youngest staff managers in Prudential at age twenty-three with a staff of ten debit agents to supervise. After working in the insurance industry for several years, and still feeling the need for creativity and personal development and more challenging adventures, he decided to go on to college seeking a formal education and hopes for a brighter future. In the spirit of a true entrepreneur Nick removed all obstacles in the way for entering college and completed the four year college requirements in just three years. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree from Bryant University with a Management major and a minor in Economics. He then attended Providence College in the MBA program with a focus on production management. After leaving Providence College, Nick decided to return to the Insurance industry trying his hand with brokering group health insurance rather than individual sales. Shortly thereafter, with the overwhelming desire to use his skills that his creator gave him, Nick entered the field of Sales Engineering with the focus on industrial equipment sales and service evaluating forklift trucks and material handling equipment requirements for the end user. During these years of incubation, Nick practiced and honed his skills growing more restless and desirous of the opportunity to expand his horizons where he could prove to himself that he could succeed as an independent entrepreneur. More restless than ever and needing more thrust in his life, Nick came to realize that he needed to be an independent businessman. Thus the entrepreneurial spirit surfaced overwhelmingly which started a twenty-seven year experience that took him around the world where he experienced the fruits of his efforts and the opportunity to mingle and share with others of different cultures and experiences, generously enriched by their culture and being. Always observant, Nick learned from his experiences to appreciate another for whom they are-appreciating and acknowledging their values and contributions to mankind. He also observed that even of different cultures, we as humans share the same values in life and family. Regardless of our cultural experiences, we are one! The humans of this earth have a common bond. We share love, care for others, have compassion for each other and, creatively share in life’s adventures. Our language may differ but our ability to communicate is profound! During the twenty-seven years Nick operated his international jewelry business, he realized the wisdom in repeatedly reinventing his business. Setting goals for himself and his business he discovered the obstacles in his way to success and derived procedures to conquer those obstacles successfully reaching his objectives. During the twenty-seven years of directing his business, Nick realized the concept of Marketing; how it worked, the different parts of Marketing and the importance of a Marketing Plan of Action to compliment the Business Plan. It is the Marketing Plan of action that fuels or drives the business plan. Without it, the business will founder like a ship without a compass. A necessary tool for survival a Marketing Plan of Action needs to be understood and implemented, changing or redirecting as needed. After selling his business, Nick found the time to write his book entitled “WHO SLEEPS IN YOUR SKIN?” in which many business principles are discussed. The book resulted from several years of soul searching. After surviving a radical Prostatectomy and surviving the cancer itself, it was necessary to question his very existence and being, questioning survival itself and the importance this must have on life and mankind. This book is about the challenges in life one faces with an analogy to that of a mighty river. Essentially, we have an origin and a destiny. The mighty river fearlessly embraces and defeats all challenges in its way to destiny. Man on the other hand allows interference of past experiences which may defeat success in conquering obstacles in navigation towards one’s destiny. Nick’s book suggests that one may challenge and defeat old and outdated theories, practices or ideas to productively and effectively orchestrate one’s pathway to destiny successfully. Currently, Nick is CEO of Business Services of Tampa Bay which provides business services in the following areas: Business Coaching/Consulting, Business Plan Preparation, Strategic Planning, Sequencing, and Professional Market Research, Effective Marketing Plans, Sales and Sales Management training including Corporate Executive training.

Deeply affected by the untimely deaths of several close friends and family members in the years following the storm, he determined to change course and pursue a more meaningful path in his life.

He now speaks on the importance and practicality of an experience of unconditional peace. "An experience of peace is the most practical thing there is. It helps you eliminate waste, perform at your peak and usher worldly prosperity into your life. More than that, it fulfills every human being's fundamental desire to enjoy and appreciate this life as a gift." GRB

Christina Siew, descending from an Asian heritage, lives in a sunny little island called Singapore. With big dreams in a small city she calls home, she can be found dancing in tandem with the world yet careful enough to skirt around the tenterhooks of its fragile lines. She's a little predictable, yet a little whimsical. Reflective in her own world, she sometimes lives by her own rules. But as she emerged from her shell, she has this simple wish to inspire and bless whoever she comes across; be it people she meets or readers of her book. In 2009, Christina left her finance job after 3 years and took off for a soul-searching adventure. Her quest brought her travelling by herself across the globe from Singapore to Mexico. A time away from her familiar surroundings and people she loves, she shut away the surrounding noises and began to find herself in this quirky cosmos; rooting into her self-identity as she became more in touch with her inner being. Subsequently, her fanciful writings during her full time job, along with her meditations of life, crystallised into being. Fired by her inner calling to inspire and mentor young girls seemingly lost in this world, she took on the challenge to share what she had learned over the years by penning down thoughts, feelings, observations and personal experience that are now immortalised in her book, "Love, Pinkie".

Author bio:
I was born in Elmhurst, IL but the important years of my life were spent in Glen Ellyn where I also attended high school. Like any normal child growing up, I learned to hate myself then love myself then hate everyone else (right before I decided to be a writer). I began my writing career with very bad poetry, which I abandoned for art in other forms, and then abandoned that in turn to write short stories and novels. I live each day like it is my first and last. I have a job that pays the bills, pay taxes that don't really benefit my life, and live in a world I desperately wish I could change.

Wise Words & Witty Expressions by Renee Gatz Wise Words & Witty Expressions by Renee Gatz Dec. 05, 2010 $9.99 9922 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Renee Gatz was born and raised in New Jersey in a traditional Irish Catholic household where her mother often used expressions to help Gatz keep life in perspective, to remind her of what was important and to laugh at foolishness so as not to take life too seriously. In her early growing years, Gatz did not appreciate the power of the expressions her mother spoke but as she grew was amazed at how these expressions would come back to her to provide clarity, understanding or a laugh at just the right moment. Gatz was motivated to share these expressions in her book, Wise Words & Witty Expressions based on the positive response she would receive when she would mention one in conversation, the surprise that an expression she had heard her entire life was new to someone and her natural desire to communicate those great thoughts with others.
Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life! by Annette Langer Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life! by Annette Langer Dec. 05, 2010 $2.99 38434 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
Annette Langer enjoyed a successful career with the Federal Government before taking an early retirement. She trained for a new calling then, this time as a travel agent. It was a great fit as it complemented her own love of travel. Now retired from planning other people's trips, she has focused on her writing and shares a wide spectrum of topics based on her own life experiences. "Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life!" is more than just another self-help book. It offers coping techniques to help overcome the effects of practically any medical mishap or malady by finding the funny side to some not-so-funny challenges. Langer employs humor to illustrate examples from her own health history (including a brain injury suffered in a head-on auto accident and breast cancer). You'll find such chapters as "My First Cruise...My First Gallbladder Attack" and "How to Bathe While Bandaged or in a Plaster Cast" to tickle your funny bone. You'll also find tips on how to amuse yourself (and others) while recovering from illness or injury. The book is balanced, as well, by offering more serious tips on how to move forward. "A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World: Diary of a Fearless Travel Agent" proves that life can go on after medical challenges. It follows Langer's lifetime of world travel and the many hilarious and sobering situations in which she's found herself. You'll shake your head in disbelief over such experiences as being held hostage in a workers' strike in Tahiti or managing to sleep through an earthquake in Peru! She rounds out the collection with a multitude of funny stories, as well, from her travel to all seven continents. Langer has contributed to magazine articles, the Livermore Wine Country Literary Harvest Anthology, O'Brien's Literary Speculator Bright Beginnings Anthology, Voices of the Valley: First Press Anthology, and Chicken Soup for the Soul/Inspiration for the Young at Heart issue. Her work is also frequently found in the monthly literary e-newsletter www.FoxandQuill.com and blog posts at www.trivalleywriters.org. Living much of her life in the Midwest near Chicago, Annette Langer eventually migrated to the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently resides. She is an active member of the 100-year-old California Writers Club, Tri-Valley Branch, serving as branch historian, meeting reservationist, and frequent blog contributor. When not pursuing her writing and speaking events, she keeps busy as a police volunteer with her local police department.
The Principle of Gift by Laurie Sones The Principle of Gift by Laurie Sones Dec. 06, 2010 Free! 13150 words Sample 100%
Author bio:
Laurie Sones was born in Essex, UK in 1950. His Christian upbringing coupled with a love of music led him to become a leading church choirboy. But this spiritual side was brought into sharp question when his mother, so much the driving force in his life, died before he had yet reached 18 years old. Laurie began his quest for wider philosophical and spiritual answers to the meaning of his life and life in general. Despite all the study and note-taking there was always a reluctance to attempt to put discoveries into bookform. It was a BBC report of a multiple rape of a 6-year-old girl in the Bosnian war that finally galvanised things. A deep emotional reaction unleashed the drive to try to tackle, on paper, the big questions the individual asks himself, this shocking violation used as the backdrop. (“If such a terrible event can be rationalised philosophically then so surely can all things”). His first work, A Pocketful of Reasoning, illustrates not just depth and breadth of study but a capacity for practical suggestions the individual could follow. It represents over 40 years of ongoing experience, work and deliberation with the subject matter. The Principle of Gift, his second work, majors on creativity and the application of its fundamental principles for use in the lives of ordinary people. It also serves as a much shortened and simplified version of its predecessor with some common usage of material. Three more books are already in various stages of development. The idea is to produce a series of concise works (2/3 hour reads) under the broad umbrella of 'Realign Your Thinking, Realign Your Life'. 'Healing You: The New Keys' on the subject of self-healing is set to be the next publication. The author welcomes contact from readers. (“There is always more for each of us to learn. The journey is never complete”). Laurie Sones is a qualified advanced hypnotherapist.

Author bio:
My name is Aernout Zevenbergen (1967) - I am a professional storycatcher and wanderer, with Africa as my arena. As a storycatcher I do my best to capture what is out there as the ways in which people perceive their own reality, without thinking that any of those is something weird like 'the truth'. I use all the media at my disposal: text, internet, podcasting, photography and other visuals. I am a journalist, an author, a publisher and a designer. I act as speaker and give lectures. I use media to broadcast my own amazement at existence, in all of its aspects. My main theme is men: masculinity and what it means to be a man. Through my work, I learn. It is my hope that you, as a client or as a member of the audience, learn just as much as I do through the work I publish. Having my perceived securities erode by searching for the paradox in everything. Transcending contradictions of existence through living both, at the same time. Gliding up and down the rainbow of my own pre-conceived ideas and thoughts. These are my passions. They challenge and rip, soothe and rock, tear and build.
