Have You "Freed Your Inner Book" Yet?
Yes
What You Need to Know About Me:
I'm a speech-language pathologist, an author of children's books and a columnist in local newspapers throughout New York. My column focuses on educational issues, laws and parents' rights. I also launched an educational website as a resource for parents, teachers and youth. I am always looking for a new venue to advertise my books and website. It would be great to belong to this fine group of talented people and to make new connections! My education includes a BS degree in communicative disorders, a MS degree in speech-language pathology, a MS degree in multicultural education, and 30 additional graduate credits in educational administration. I love children and also work as an educational consultant.

My first book, "They Say I Have ADHD, I Say Life Sucks!" Thoughts From Nicholas, is about a little boy who has ADHD-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and what a typical day is like for him at school. Readers view how the symptoms of ADHD follow a domino effect as Nicholas loses his homework, loses track of time, loses friends, is disorganized, gets sent to the principal's office, is clumsy, can't remain focused, gets little sleep and feels all around inadequate. He is followed by a comical clock companion who tries to keep him on target. This book is available at www.amazon.com and is also available in Spanish. My second book is about a little girl who stutters and my third book is set in a jungle. I self-published my first book however, I have a traditional publishing house here in NY who is interested in re-publishing my first book and publishing the other two. Feel free to contact me!

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

Hello Sister!

I apologize for the delay in response to your inquiry. I was working profusely on getting President-Elect Obama elected, and together -- YES WE DID!!! Hallelujah and Amen! ☺

In answer to your inquiry,

BookExpo America, one of the largest book trade exhibits in the world, is coming to New York City's Jacob Javits Center May 28th to May 31st, 2009.

I would love for you to help me to network. I am a registered nurse but took a leave of absence after my mother passed this summer at age 91 years. On my web site: www.charchet.com I tell about some of my family's story. However, I am the youngest African-American and person from KY who marched right beside Dr. Martin Luther King, JR in 1961 at age 13 yrs going to jail repeatedly for EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS. In KY we have 3.3 million people but only 17% have bachelors degrees and many do not read. My books sell better on the East Coast. I allowed my mayor to know this. He had my web host to design the latest note about "Good Morning America" with his high school friend, Diane Sawyer of Louisville, KY. I pray that I can sell more books around the USA, If you can help me to network--I will pay for your plane flight to Louisville, KY to sit with my family during the filming of a movie by Jerry Bruckheimer who helped Will Smith get started with his movie, "Bad Boyz". Jerry Bruckheimer has the most international movie tickets sold of any film producer. Also you may call me if you would like to or just e-mail me @ CHoll88317@aol.com I await your response.

Hi Lisa-Anne,

Great to connect with you too. I created my publishing company to publish the books that I wrote. Are you seeking a publisher? If so, what classification/genre is your topic?

Welcome to the community, Lisa-Anne. Be sure to post your book covers and info in your profile/blog.
 
 

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
SPAMMING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
