message 8: by Trevor (new)

Trevor Veale | 15 comments Hi Trishala. Your novel sounds interesting. I had a peek at your website and got the feeling it was broadly in the spiritual/faith walk genre, akin to the third part of Elizabeth Gordon's "Eat,Love,Pray". Of course, yours may be a lot more humorous and inspiring! I'm impressed by the number of sites your book is for sale on. You certainly have the Indian market blanket-covered. On amazon.com you're well placed to reach the US market. Good luck!


message 9: by Trishala (new)

Trishala (write2trishala) | 12 comments Hey Trevor, glad you took interest! Yes, the novel, The Seller of Beliefs, has some philosophical touch to it in a subtle way, but is amusing at the same time, written in a lively tone to engage the reader till the end. Thank you for the wishes!
Wishing you a happy reading!
Best,
Trishala

Janice Schwarz (geekartist) | 2 comments Hello! I recently published my first reference guide:

"Website Wonders Made Easy: Websites Unwoven – A Guide to Creating a PROFESSIONAL Website, in Plain English".

It is NOT a "how to make a website book".

It's a reference guide to help people avoid the mistakes I've watched people make in the 14 years I've been making websites professionally.

Lot's of Do's, Don'ts, terminology, What to look for when shopping for XYZ, legal issues most people are unaware of, and so on.

Here is the book on Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Website-Wonders...

I've got a pdf version on my site (geekartist.com). Working on Nook formatting now and then iBooks after that.

Pleased to meet you all!

Ken Johnson (author_ken_johnson) | 11 comments Hello everyone! My latest book is on character types and their hidden meanings. It primarily looks at the most common fictional character types found in literature, cinema, television, and even graphic novels. In the book, I explain Jungian psychology as it relates to this topic. I also explain how tastes change in the market and why so that writers can better predict trends and venture into niches markets. The book is presently being used by at least one college for a creative writing class.

Judy Bloomberg | 10 comments Always a Traveler, Never a Tourist: In Search of People and Places on the Road Less Traveled

Hi! My name is Judy Bloomberg https://www.goodreads.com/author/show..., and I am the author of a recently published non-fiction travel photography book called "Always a Traveler, Never a Tourist: In Search of People and Places on the Road Less Traveled" . I have been an intrepid traveler for over 50 years, visiting 115 countries in every corner of the world. This book is a collection of 294 of the best (mostly full-page) photos from those trips, focusing on the most exotic destinations on all seven continents (and the people who inhabit them), along with insights and anecdotes about traveling off the beaten path. From colorful festivals like the Goroka Show in Papua New Guinea and Carnival in Rio to daily life in places like Lake Titicaca and rural Ethiopia, these photographs capture the amazing diversity of peoples who inhabit our world.

Frēda Drake (fredadrake) | 4 comments Hi! I'm a national publicist. I repeatedly had authors and small business owners tell me that their campaigns were going nowhere fast. I realized there was a desperate need to educate everyone on what publicity is, what it does, and how to get it. Here's the backcover summary:

Did your last publicity campaign go nowhere? Are your marketing efforts disappointing? Is your sales team out of step with your marketing team?

All too often, business owners and CEOs invest in publicity campaigns that produce lackluster results. How can you make sure that doesn't happen to you? Wouldn't it be great if there was a simple, easy to read guidebook that explained how to create a truly effective campaign?

Worry no more because the book you're holding-Publicity on Steroids-is the one you've been hoping for.

For years, marketing and publicity expert Frēda Drake repeatedly heard, "I don't know if I can trust your firm because the last one I worked with let us down; the campaign they created went nowhere." After hearing that more than once, Frēda decided to write a book-this book-one that teaches you how to create an effective publicity campaign, and how to use it properly in your marketing and sales efforts.

Publicity on Steroids is a useful guidebook for business owners and professionals at every level of marketing experience, from novice to seasoned campaign director. It provides the basic strategies and information you need to conduct an effective media campaign yourself, or, if you choose to hire experts, it teaches you what to look for, and how to acquire the proper talent.

This no-nonsense book includes numerous examples of what to do, along with cautionary tales, so you can avoid the common pitfalls that plague most publicity campaigns.

In Publicity on Steroids, you'll find no trendy jargon or hard-to-understand passages. Instead, Frēda draws upon decades of her own experience and the knowledge of many seasoned colleagues, providing clear guidance that will be your roadmap to success.

You can get this book through any major bookseller. Categories: Publicity, Marketing, Social Media, etc.

Thanks!

Frēda

Intuition and Get Insight into Life Challenges

There is a vast unseen world that is available to each one of us that can provide insight into the past, present and future. Understanding and tapping into this invisible world expands our belief system to help us become more mindful and increase our intuition. Subsequently, this allows us to figure out and handle life challenges more quickly and live a fuller, richer life.

When exploring these symbols, from Acupressure to Western Elements, the reader's connection to the unseen world becomes 'up close and personal' with lots of fun interaction along the way.

Linda provides an illuminating guide to the reader's own unique symbols. Using discovery exercises and easy to read charts, readers will be able to learn, explore and use their symbol to find a deeper level of themselves. They will also be able to improve their intuition to discern and gain insight into life challenges. Expanding beyond themselves they can explore family, friends or other people's symbols. The book comes complete with fill-in sheets to gather all their symbols, in one place, for easy access throughout their life. Filled with timeless information it is a 'go-to' symbols reference book that helps determine what a life or dream symbol means - whenever the need arises.

Now a little bit about me... Not only am I a multi-book author but have had the pleasure for over 30 yearsof interviewing authors weekly on my Linda Mackenzie Show on traditional radio and now on Healthylife.net (www.healthylife.net) Radio.

Okil Ghale (wwwevolutionariliescom) | 4 comments I'm excited to announce the release of my book, titled 'THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTELLIGENCE.' In this intellectual discovery, I delve deep into the realms of human understanding, offering a thought-provoking journey through mythology deconstruction.

'THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTELLIGENCE' is not just a book; it's the book of human life, offering invaluable insights into our existence. Dive into this mechanism of inner transformative exploration with me, and discover the fascinating evolution of intelligence.

Steve Williams | 8 comments Greetings,
I've been told (by a university librarian and by a local public librarian) that my new music history book would be a perfect addition to any reference section of any library. My book, Music Titans - 250 Greatest Recording Artists of the Past 100 Years, explores the most "consequential" musicians of the past century (1920s - 2020s); artists from all major genres can be found. There are several glowing editorial reviews by music industry insiders on Amazon– music publisher Peter S. Burke called it "a masterpiece"; Grammy winning record producer Jeffrey Weber said, "I love this book!" A few weeks ago, the book twice hit #1 on Amazon's New Releases in the category of Music History & Criticism. Now it needs what all books need– exposure, so that more people can discover it. Anybody who would like to read and review or otherwise promote this title, please let me know. Steve Williams
