Tao-Girls Rule! Finding Balance, Staying Confident, Being Bold in a World of Challenges By CJ Golden

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | February 23rd, 2010

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: The intended audience is teen and pre-teen girls – many of whom already call themselves “Tao-Girls”.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: After great success with my first book, Tao of the Defiant Woman, the women who read the book and/or attended my seminars and workshops asked me to write a similar book for their daughters and granddaughters.

I began by traveling the country and working with girls; listening to their stories and starting a community of Tao-Girls.  I met with girls who were members of national organizations such as the Uniquely Me Councils of Girl Scouts of America, and community organizations, as well as smaller, individual groups of girls.

I learned much about these girls and found that they eagerly accepted my Tao and dynamic philosophy into their lives.  They listened to me, were comfortable spending time with me and telling me their stories.  And they participated in the writing of “their” book.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Many books are out there for these young girls.  Tao-Girls Rule!, however, gives them a role model to follow – Tao-Girl – who understands that to grow in self confidence and travel the paths of their lives with strength and joy they need to be:

Tenacious, Accepting, Optimistic, Grateful, Imaginative, Radiant, Loving.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: As for there being anything else you should know about the book, I would like to quote part of the text from the back cover:
If you are the sort of girl who wants to find balance, be confident and act boldly, this book has all of the rules.

In Tao-Girls Rule! CJ Golden brings her guidance and insight to teen and pre-teen girls as they face the challenges of growing up in an ever-changing and  complex world. Combining the acceptance of the ancient philosophy of Tao with a healthy dose of boldness, Golden helps young girls grow in self-esteem  and confidence.

“Whether you are worrying about your BFF not liking you, struggling with the way your body looks, or just trying to deal with all of the homework your teacher gave you last night, Tao Girls Rule! is for you. Inside you’ll find simple, yet powerful ways to discover and appreciate your very best self and live life with confidence and boldness when faced with challenges. Tao Girls DO Rule!‘ -Leanne Gluck, Project Manager, uniquely ME! Girl Scouts of the USA”

eBooks: Idea to Amazon in 14 Days, By Marnie Swedberg

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | February 18th, 2010

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Every author thinks about getting on Amazon, but this book validates the aspirations of a much broader audience.

• Speakers, trainers and consultants have information they would love to share with event participants, attendees and potential clients.

• Inventors, programmers and product development gurus have processes about which the public needs to know.

•  Professors, teachers and moms have book ideas for the students they serve.

• Pastors have sermon sets and grandmothers have the journals of a lifetime.

It has been said that there is a book in each of us, and the current publishing platforms make it possible for anyone, any author, to have their chance on stage.

eBooks: Idea to Amazon in 14 Days

Q: What is the book about?
A: eBooks: Idea to Amazon in 14 Days is ideal for how-to and business authors who want to take their words from private to public. This book reads like a personal journal, but is actually a guide for any author who is ready to sell some books.

The blow-by-blow progression of Marnie’s 2-week journey, from idea to publication, provides the shortcuts and success strategies you need to get published now.

David Sanford, Literary Agent. “Write and sell your first ebook. Marnie’s fast-paced book tells you virtually everything you need to know. Highly recommended!

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I didn’t choose myself. A regional library directory chose me as the right person. I am the author of 11 books and eBooks, a pinch hit trainer, and a library lover. Once chosen, I invested every ounce of energy and every resource I could muster to put together the best training on the topic available right now. I hope I succeeded.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Author opportunities are changing at a mind boggling rate. This book is definitely the up-to-the-minute resource for authors who are serious about getting onto Amazon with the shortest learning curve possible.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: I am a how-to author. I write virtually for real people, with real challenges, who live in a real world. My hope and prayer is that something I say, write, or do will have a positive affect on your life, or at least on your day.  Thanks for the opportunity to be here!

Nature’s Secret Messages: Hidden in Plain Sight by Elaine Wilkes, Ph.D., N.C., M.A., LEED

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | February 10th, 2010

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: It’s a self-help-health book. Say that ten times.

Q: What is the book about?
A: It’s about enjoying the fun and intrigue of unraveling nature’s clues that fill you with awe, inspiration, and healing. This fascinating book combines ancient wisdom with modern research, and science with imagination. Connect to the wonder you felt as a child, and emulate how Nature wisely deals with change and adversity.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am a recovering “learning addict” who ultimately discovered that the answers to most of life’s questions are found in nature’s genius. I’m a nutritionist with a Ph.D. in naturopathy (alternative medicine), a master’s degree in psychology, a nutrition degree, and a LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation. I combine all these fields to give you the dirt on nature.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: It’s really a one-of-a kind book. It’s not a nature book because most people think of nature books as photos of the forests, mountains, and sea. It’s entirely different from all other nature, and health books too, because it presents nature as your nurturer, health coach, and mentor, and yet it’s easy and fun to read.

We can take advice from motivational speakers who have been around maybe 50 years versus Nature who’s been around 4 billion years. It’s time we learn to listen to our mom—Mother Nature. Your “mother” really does know best!

Einstein said, “Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.” The more you know about nature, the more you’ll understand yourself and others. So after reading this book, you’ll see things in a whole new light.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Losing touch with nature and contact with the earth can make you feel more stressed and depressed.  The EPA estimates that Americans spend about 90% of their day indoors.

University of Illinois research shows that children who were outdoors more exhibit a dramatic reduction in the symptoms of ADD. The average child recognizes more than a hundred corporate logos but can’t name ten types of plants.

Our bodies are designed to be in touch with nature. When people who are depressed garden and get their hands in dirt, their depression lessens.

My sincere wish is that Nature becomes your true friend and mentor, and that this book fills you with many “awe-ha” moments. Mother Nature’s profound wisdom is right outside your front door and is free!

The 24 Hour Champion: Discovering AND Living Your Priceless Life, By Darshan Gabriel Shanti

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | February 2nd, 2010

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: This book is for entrepreneurs, CEOs, salesman, soccer moms and students. It will serve anyone of any age from any background who knows there’s got to be more for his life than what they’re experiencing now. This book is for people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, dissatisfied, unfulfilled and stuck in a perpetual rut. It’s for people who have fear running their life. It’s for people who are ready to let all of that go and who want to have the business and life success they see when they close their eyes.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Your life, your wealth, dreams, happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction and removing all of the beliefs, blocks and barriers that are stopping you from having whatever your heart desires. It’s about being released from the chains of your past and being free to live the life you’ve always wanted to live.  It will enable you to pull the weeds of fear and stagnation right by their roots so they don’t come back anymore. You will then be able to plant a brand new garden to grow whatever future you would like.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: Every single word, concept, exercise and idea in this book came from my real life experience. There is absolutely no theory in this book. There is no hype. There is no fluff. I’ve tried and successfully mastered everything in the book. I know it works without the shadow of a doubt and I stake my reputation on it.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Most personal development books don’t work effectively. They are full of useless platitudes, tired, old concepts and boring ideas. They offer strategies and tactics, but never lead people to solving their problems. They motivate people, temporarily making them feel better, but that’s it. Motivation doesn’t last.

This book is not about motivation, it’s about transformation. It will help you get to the core beliefs that block you from experiencing joy, peace, fulfillment and freedom. And help you to change your own mind about who you are and what you believe is possible, both right now and in your future. Once you do that, your change is permanent.

In addition, it only deals with the issues at their core because when you deal with a problem at its core, it doesn’t come back anymore.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Be prepared to do all the action steps and the exercises necessary. As you “grow” through the book, be prepared to see some amazing changes in your life. If you’re not willing to do that, you won’t experience the change in your life that you’re looking for.
