I found an amazing “diet” book that’s not about dieting! It’s Am I Really Hungry? 6th Sense Diet, Intuitive Eating by Jane Bernard. The 6th Sense Diet is absolutely liberating! Thankfully, there's no counting calories or lists of forbidden foods, and no inner critic. Instead of calories and rules, you get 10 tools for eating intuitively. You’ll discover amazing new solutions for handling weight problems and begin to have long-term satisfaction with yourself and your body at last. After you read this ground-breaking book, you’ll know what you want to eat just by listening to your 6th sense! You’ll learn about the different types of hunger and that by paying attention to your body, you’ll know what you want to eat. Intuition is your 6th sense. It's a grounding and arousal sense you can depend on to stay clear about food choices so you feel and look great. http://bit.ly/IE6th If you’re tired of feeling guilty and frustrated around eating, this is the book for you!

1) Please tell us about what you like to write? List your websites, what you do and anything else you'd like our readers and writers to know about you. (Please list your accomplishments too). I like to write! It is a rather new development in my life as I have only actually been doing it seriously with an end goal in mind since February 2010. I have an entire collection of stuff I plan to write over the next few years. If I had to categorize it, I would say mostly Science Fiction. I have a couple of books planned that are non-fiction, and a awesome series which would be Fiction but crosses multiple genres, but I will not start that project until I have surpassed the one million word mark, found my style and perfected my craft more. But to answer your question, what do I like to write? I like to write what I like to read, and that is any and everything! I just love writing! I don't have a website, but I do have a Blog where I write to exercise my mind and warm up for worki...

Linda Barnett-Johnson WHY HAVE A BOOK TRAILER? Most of you know me as one of the editors of Long Story Short, the ezine for writers. That's only part of what I do with and for writers. I also edit/proofread fiction and non-fiction; I promote books by helping authors as a virtual assistant arranging blog tours, radio interviews, social networking and just about anything you may need to promote your book. AND I CREATE BOOK TRAILERS! Research shows that the more visual the input becomes, the more likely it is to be recognized and recalled. The phenomenon is so pervasive, it has been given its own name: the pictorial superiority effect, or PSE. Here's a video I did for author Cal Orey's new book, The Healing Powers of Honey - Not to be outdone by YouTube, most of the major search engines now allow uploading videos directly into their system. AOL, Yahoo and Google are only three of which have video sites. Most of the hugely popular social media networks such as MySpace, Facebo...

Book Interview with Patricia Crandall by Linda Barnett-Johnson - http://tinyurl.com/3nvplqz

I had the pleasure of editing one of her books and some short stories. Here is what she had to say about the writing process. 1) Please tell us about what you like to write? List your websites, what you do and anything else you'd like our readers and writers to know about you. (Please list your accomplishments too). I write in all genres – thriller, mystery, general, humor, y/a, novels, short stories, flash fiction, essays and poetry. I do not like to be restricted by one particular type of story or a character. With one exception, I have two series characters in my popular Bottle Mining stories linking Gert Carver and Nina Westacott. Gert and Nina, friends for many years, now share a common passion – bottle mining. They meet an eclectic variety of characters as they trade-off collectibles and old bottles at flea markets and solve gentle mysteries/problems involving neighbors, relatives, past students, farmers and hicks in and around the upstate New York community of...

1) Please tell us about what you like to write? List your websites, what you do and anything else you'd like our readers and writers to know about you. (Please list your accomplishments too). I like to write almost anything, actually. When I start a new piece I never know in which genre it will be. I would say the majority of my novels that are still unpublished are YA. I like this time when everything is so fraught with problems that seem insurmountable for a teen. But I have written adult stories as well and one is a little bit erotic too.:) What I have been doing for a year is private tutoring for a tutoring company. I like the one on one with students who really need the help and I love when they start to improve. I used to teach full time and my last full time job was a Literacy Specialist for grades K and 1 in a charter school. I am retired from teaching for a few years, but tutoring helps pay the bills. In addition to writing prose I write poetry and many of my poem...

INTERVIEW WITH C.K. VOLNEK - JUNE 22,2011 Please tell us about you, your books, and list any websites you have and any information you'd like to share with our readers and writers. Hi Linda, Thanks for this gracious offer to tell you a little about me and my books. My name is C.K. Volnek and I write for children, middle grade and young adult. I love the curious minds and passion with which our youth live by, so open and ready to embrace to the possibilities of today. My goal in life is to never truly grow up where I lose that wonder. I live in the wide open state of Nebraska. A recent visitor commented that she thought she could see five states from here. Maybe not quite. But I do love the openness and space. Spring is my absolute favorite time of the year as I look out over the big blue sky and rolling hills of green dotted with baby calves. My first novel, Ghost Dog of Roanoke Island, is a tween mystery/adventure/ghost story coupled with Native American folklore and the hist...

It is at once an herbal, a travel book and a compendium of Gypsy lore and Gypsy ways.

It's like life has a personal vendetta on making you feel miserable.

My good friend (and bestselling author) Sonia Ricotti went through a NASTY phase herself. • A potentially deadly blood clot shattered her health • Financial devastation stole her lifestyle and home out from under her • An important relationship ended (which, to make matters worse, involved an alcoholic) ...all of it hitting her AT ONCE.

Anxiety Disorders - The Go-To Guide for Clients and Therapists - read my blog here - http://ping.fm/WXb3F

Dear Friends, I found this book and had to share it. Millions of people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders. In fact, anxiety disorders are the number-one psychiatric problem in the United States, yet many people who suffer from anxiety don’t get effective counseling. But there are many, many effective treatments for anxiety disorders out there. Carolyn Daitch, a seasoned therapist and award-winning author, covers the ins and outs of anxiety disorders and their treatment in her new book Anxiety Disorders: The Go-To Guide for Clients and Therapists. For five of the anxiety disorders—Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Specific Phobias, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder— she details specific treatment options and techniques, explaining which are best suited to individual use, and which are better done in collaboration with a therapist or a team of treatment professionals. Engaging, comprehensive, and reassuring, this is an essential Go-To...

A secret known only 2 a lovely young blind woman drives him deeper into the snowy infinite wilderness-.Montana Mist http://bit.ly/e0hWKz

I found a novel I loved and had to share it with you. You can almost taste the wilderness and the life springing from the pages of it! It’s bestselling author, Doug Hiser’s new novel, Montana Mist, Winter of the White Wolf. Set in the town of Rime, Montana the pages are replete with loners, free spirits and those simply looking for a place to lose themselves for awhile. Here’s what reviewer Tracy Riva said, “The scenery in Montana Mist vividly springs to life bringing the mountain town and its surroundings into keen view as you peruse the pages of this piece of modern folklore. Hiser brings not only the people of Rime, but also the wild inhabitants of its nearby mountains to boldly dance across the screen of your mind. “What follows is one of my favorite passages from the book, a tall tale that I suppose could have happened somewhere, at sometime but probably takes place only in our fascinated imaginations. It is the tale of a one-eyed wolf appropriately named Cyclops and a huge bull m...
