Stop Lying: The Truth About Weight Loss ... but you''re not going to like it. | by Deborah Nicholson Jan. 16, 2012 | $11.99 | 48628 words | Sample 5% |
| Author bio: Deborah Nicholson has always loved the arts. She studied dance for over ten years. She took drama in school, working as playwright, stage manager and director. She studied music for almost 20 years and taught music for ten years. She moved into medical administration but kept up her love of arts by working and volunteering at the Calgary Centre for Performing arts, with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, The Calgary International Children’s Festival, Alberta Theatre Projects and Theatre Calgary. Deborah worked as an usher, bartender, shift supervisor, secretary, receptionist, volunteer coordinator and craft designer for these various organizations. The culmination of her career at the Centre was as House Manager for Theatre Calgary for several years. Leaving this position, and the longing to still go to the theatre every night, led to the creation of the Kate Carpenter Mystery Series (Severn House). There are currently five novels published in this series, available in eight countries around the world, and widely reviewed. Deborah has also completed a medical mystery/thriller, Mind Games. To balance her career in the arts, she has continued to work in medical administration with various specialties, such as physiotherapy and rehabilitation, dermatology and cosmetic surgery, general practice and now chronic pain. This interesting field has led to her upcoming series of medical thrillers. Since being published, Deborah has done several workshops and readings to encourage people who dream of writing to stop dreaming and start writing. She has joined several organizations, very interested in literacy and mentorship. She has made numerous appearances on The Breakfast Show, Shaw Television and was a featured performed in “The Lettersâ€. Deborah is a member of Mystery Writers Ink, The Alexandra Writers Society, Crime Writers of Canada, The Alberta Writers Guild, and Romance Writers of America. Deborah is a great supporter of charity and volunteerism and donates 10% of all profits of her novels to charity. In 2009 Deborah wrote The Pain Diaries, a play based on her experience at the Chronic Pain Centre. She spent three years researching the topic, interviewing patients and experts in the field. The play won the CPS Pain Awareness Award in May 2009 and was then workshopped in December 2009. Two sold-out public readings happened in February 2010, followed by a one week run at the Grand Theatre in Calgary in May 2010. A movie adaptation of The Pain Diaries is currently in production. |

Weight Loss Made Easy | by Nancy Deville Dec. 31, 2011 | $4.95 | 16672 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: I’m a native Californian, born in Inglewood, California. I didn’t spend my childhood in California though. My father was killed in a airplane crash when I was a baby and my mother moved my brother, sister, and me to Royal Oak, Michigan. When I was eight she remarried and we moved back to the San Diego area. My education in writing began as a teenager living as a Navy brat Japan where a lifelong habit of correspondence was ingrained. I was an indifferent student, preferring to read or go to Tokyo, explore, and work for Eddie Arab Model Productions In 1968 when graduation time rolled around, I lacked the grades and enough attendance days to graduate. My mother, who was something of a shrinking violet, put on her Jackie O sheath dress, pillbox hat and white gloves and went down to talk to the school counselor. I don’t know what she said, but I was allowed to graduate. I chose hitchhiking to India over going to college. Ten months of traveling—where I kept a fastidious journal (that was lost!)—solidified my love of observation, reading, and writing. When I returned from Indai it was the summer of 1969 and the first man was walking on the moon and I was helping to manage a pension, a 150-year old pirate’s house, in Ibiza, Spain. After that I lived two and a half years in Switzerland where I continued to travel and work. It was the worst job I ever had—as an animal caretaker in a pharmaceutical company, a job I still cannot bring myself to describe in writing. I returned to the States at age 21, having been gone for six years. I began a fifteen-year career in fashion design. My designs were created out of recycled jeans, embroidered tablecloths, bedspreads, and anything I could scavenge in flea markets, thrift shops, and swap meets that met my criteria of being pleasing to the eye, tactile, and comfortable on the skin. For ten of those years I worked as a stylist and costume designer on TV commercials in Hollywood and then went on to create my own line of felt appliquéd Christmas stockings that were featured items in the Christmas catalogues of major departments stores such as Neimans, Thalhimers, and Saks Fifth Avenue. In 1989, I got married and moved from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara where I was accepted to the University of California in Santa Barbara, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA . . . but when an English composition class rekindled my desire to write I dropped out to write a novel. It was an early version of Karma. The manuscript garnered considerable attention both in the publishing world and in Hollywood but the public wasn’t ready for a story on sex trafficking. My interest in health and cooking led me to team up with several doctors to write books on diet, adrenal burnout, Chinese medicine, culminating in my sole authored book Death by Supermarket: The Fattening, Dumbing Down, and Poisoning of America. My health books have sold over 650,000 copies, and I’ve established a voice in the real food movement, something that I’m proud of, as I love helping people be healthier. Throughout my nonfiction career I never forgot the story about sexual slavery and continued to read and research the subject, which I consider one of the most important social problems in the world today. The finished novel, Karma, is the product of my research into the subjects of sexual slavery, Hinduism, and the true meaning of karma. My current projects include Hippie Chick a memoir of my trip to India in 1968-69 and the novel Love Children, the story of a failed New York artist who falls in love with a wealthy married woman who he meets again 27 years after they committed a crime together. Besides writing, my interests include Buddihist Metta meditation, reading, piano, yoga, hiking, cooking, entertaining, traveling, sewing, knitting, crocheting, interior design, and our whippets Charlotte Brontë and India I live with my husband, John Davis, in an 1868 row house in the historic South End of Boston, Massachusetts. |

EcoNutrition:A Semi-vegetarian Lifestyle is a Natural Way to be Optimally Healthy and Age Well, to Lose Weight and Cure Obesity and Prevent Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Musculoskeletal Injuries & Similar Conditions. | by Gerald Waagen Sep. 30, 2011 | $4.95 | 38987 words | Sample 30% |
| Author bio: I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, two years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. My mother and baby sister died when I was 3. They were bathing and the radio fell in the tub. I discovered them. My father, recently returned from World War II, had not been informed when he came home from work as the bodies were being loaded into an ambulance. The tragic accident made national news and was instrumental to legislation requiring Ground Fault Interruptor Circuits (GFICs) in bathrooms. A few years later my father remarried, I had a new mother and sister, and we moved to a small Mormon farming community in northern Utah. I went to college at the University of Utah and in Hawaii. After my Junior year I received a little money from my maternal grandfather and spent some years working and traveling in San Francisco, Europe, and the Middle East. In Syria, my traveling companion, a Dutch girl, and I, were poisoned. We almost died. She flew home, I went to Jerusalem, crossed through the Mandelbaum Gate, and was working on a Kibbutz at the time of the first Israeli-Arab conflict commonly known as the Six Days War. After returning to college in the US, I received a BS in biology and an MS in herpetology, studying turtles, from the University of Utah. From 1972-75 I served in Malaysia with the US Peace Corps in an experimental program teaching at the university level. On a field trip I discovered a probable new species of the turtle genus Pangshura in the remote fresh-water lake-swamp Tasek Bera in Pahang Province. After the Peace Corps my first wife and I traveled in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and Europe before returning to the U.S. I was awarded a graduate fellowship and studied spider communities for a Ph.D. in theoretical community ecology at Utah State University. After being appointed to the faculty at the largest chiropractic college I had a ‘conversion experience’ and matriculated in the professional program. I completed the first clinical trial to demonstrate the benefit of chiropractic care (Waagen, G.N., Haldeman, S., Cook, G., Lopez, D., and DeBoer, K.F., Short term trial of spinal adjustments for the relief of low back pain, Manual Medicine, 2:63-67, 1986) the same year that I received the Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Currently I am a full professor at the college and licensed to practice in Utah and California. I have four grown children and live in Northern California with my wife, Wendy, and our tuxedo cat, Ernest. We recently bought a house in a cohousing community in central Oregon where we will retire in a few years. We’re planning on buying some farmland nearby to raise goats and rabbits and chickens and crops for fun and maybe a little profit. |

Dairy free & Spelt Living | by Marian Hearne Sep. 13, 2011 | $8.20 | 9334 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: A little bit on Marian (little auld me!) Home Cook, Food Blogger and Lover of all things dairy-free, healthy and natural. My books are a reflection of the journey to complete and enhance my dairy-free & spelt living. Until late 2010 I also owned a home bakery which specialised in spelt baked goods, delicious cakes (fruit, sponge, dark chocolate!) and baking mixes (oaties and cupcakes). Then, due to the discovery of a severe dairy intolerance, in addition to the previously established wheat intolerance, I had to step back to look after my health and rediscover new and healthier recipes. Two of my cakes won prestigious awards in both Ireland (2009, one with Bord Bia, The Irish Food Board) and the Great Taste Awards UK (2010). Dairy free & Spelt Living, my first book, is a Starter Pack and is accredited by the UK Vegetarian Society to show you how easy it is to include dairy-free, spelt flour and gluten-free ingredients to your recipe collection with ease and lots of fun. This in turn helps towards a healthier lifestyle. Most of the recipes are also sweetened with agave, rice and maple syrups. I live in Dublin, Ireland with my husband, Tony. If you buy I hope you find the recipes as useful I have. My first thoughts on having to eliminate dairy from my diet was “sweet Godâ€, I’ll never be able to enjoy delicious tasting food again! I was in shock mind but from lots of testing and throwing of mishaps in the bin I eventually started coming up with indulgent, tasty food that satisfied. Hope you agree. Thanks for dropping by. So long for now, Marian |

Spice to the Body | by Trizann Buultjens Sep. 04, 2011 | $9.99 | 32075 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: Author Bio Spice to the Body is my second unpublished book. I am a novice and have had no formal training in writing, nevertheless I began writing and compiling my manuscripts in October 2008, immediately after my 35th birthday. It was a challenging time for me because I was struggling without a job and trying to re-establish myself in Canada. Despite my circumstances, I also felt an urgency in me that was burning so much that I could not sleep at night until I put pen to paper. I must say had no desire put together any manuscript, but I kept envisioning it. Finally, I completed Spice to the Body in January 2009; in spite of my accomplishment, I felt depressed and experienced a sense of apprehension and wondered “why?†I withdrew to weigh the pros and cons of my emotions, as I felt lost and confused as though something strange was happening to me. I was too afraid to talk to anyone about it because I, myself, did not know what the cause was. It was like having a spiritual “high†one minute and, suddenly, the next minute, experiencing feelings of disorientation and bombarding negative thoughts. So, I took a break from writing for one year, and I realized how significant my writing had become to me. I was the happiest when I wrote, but when I did not, I felt something missing. I discovered another side of me that needed a voice, a channel to express myself. After my grandmother Olga (blessed be her memory) passed away, I opened Spice to the Body and made a decision to submit my manuscript. I figured, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.†My education includes two years of Bible school, a background in banking and accounting along with a fair bit of traveling. I have dreams just like everyone else although mine seem to be larger than life in a strange way making them a driving force in my writing endeavors. Over the years, I have had to overcome many challenges, particularly living in a country where I have no family, and trying to find my way in the “maze.†I have learnt to swim and not sink. I can take a deep breath and say, “Lord, thank you. I couldn't have done it without you.†My circumstances don’t define me, that is what I say to myself when life challenges me to rise higher, fi ght harder and stretch a little bit more. It brings me to my knees, causing me to run my race with a fierce passion that burns like fi re. It’s the spice of life! |

Thought for Food - Food for Thought | by Jeani-Rose Atchison Sep. 01, 2011 | $9.97 | 56680 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: Food and health have always been a passion of mine due to a childhood full of illness. I knew there were answers out there if only I asked questions...a lot of them! Over the years I have written about health and published a couple of books. Along with writing I have worked with school systems, taught cooking and health classes and spoke at a variety of venues on a number of health and environmental issues. Juggling a large home schooled family with a busy chiropractic husband has never seemed difficult. Everything complements each other and it just seems to flow well. Our intentions and goals in life are clear. Raise a happy family, educate people on how to heal themselves and have as much fun along the way as possible! |

Planet Lactose: The Best of the Planet Lactose Blog, volume 1 | by Steve Carper Aug. 02, 2011 | $4.95 | 86409 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: Steve Carper is the Internet’s leading expert on lactose intolerance. He learned he was lactose intolerant back in 1978 when the condition was virtually unknown. With no books or resources readily available, he plunged into the necessary research and wrote No Milk Today: How to Live with Lactose Intolerance in 1986. There was still more to be learned, so he followed that in 1995 with the larger and definitive book on the subject, Milk Is Not for Every Body: Living with Lactose Intolerance. A pioneer on the web, he started Steve Carper’s Lactose Intolerance Clearinghouse (http://www.stevecarper.com/li) in 1997 and moved the active commentary over to the Planet Lactose Blog (http://planetlactose.blogspot.com) in 2005. He’s answered thousands of questions from readers in more than 30 countries. |
