I represent Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, a positive psychologist practicing in Long Branch, New Jersey. The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything) is her fourth book. Her first book, The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy, is a pathfinder in positive psychology for women. You can find more of her work here: The Enchanted Self - www.enchantedself.com, The Truth for Girls - www.thetruthforgirls.com, and Positive Psychology For Women - http://ping.fm/GZBn5

You can find The Truth (I’m a girl, I’m smart and I know everything), on www.amazon.com The Truth went to #4 on Amazon in one day. Discovered by a University Press in China, Xi'an Jiaotong Univertsity Press – http://www.xjtu.edu.cn/

The Truth, now titled An American Girl Grows Up has just been released in China in an expanded version. The university press insisted on a longer version with more diary entries about her school work and what it is like to live in the United States. Dr. Holstein has now become an American Ambassador to the world with her book and the girl's story!

The adventures of The Truth worldwide (the book is due to be released in Vietnam) and the adventures of the girl growing up make a wonderful combination for an interview with Dr. Holstein or a book review for the U.S. and around the world.

Dr. Holstein is available for workshops, retreats, virtual classes, speaking engagements, and radio and television appearances.

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
