	Real Dirt: GMOs, IMBs, EIEIO	by Harry Stoddart Nov. 18, 2011	Free!	8600 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Harry Stoddart is a sixth generation farmer in Ontario, Canada. He farms 560 certified organic acres in the Kawartha Lakes region within the shadow of the Greater Toronto Area with his wife Silvia and their 5 children. Harry’s farming career started with buying his parents conventional confinement hog farm. He managed a major expansion – doubling the sow herd and tripling the land base in three years. He also managed to narrowly avoid bankruptcy due to the combination of a devastating disease outbreak and the hog market crash in ’98. He then spent 7 years working as a management consultant for some of the largest global consulting organizations before returning to full-time farming. Harry started the transition to organic production almost 15 years ago as a desperation strategy to save the family farm. He and a partner grew their combined certified organic operations to 2000 acres of cash grain production, making them one of the largest certified organic farms in Ontario. In 2008 Harry and his partner divided their land base, divided their equipment and dissolved the partnership. Each focusing on the land closest to home (they were 80 miles from one corner of the land base to the other). Harry and Silvia decided to focus on direct to consumer sales of grass-fed meat. Their Meat CSA continues to sell out even as it grows each year. Harry and Silvia have used almost every marketing structure available to organic producers: wholesale grain sales; package grain sales to millers, restaurants; farmer’s markets; vegetable sales to restaurants, meat sales to restaurants and institutions; founded a vegetable co-op; sold to a multi-farm vegetable CSA; sold through their own Meat CSA; conventional commodity production. Harry is a popular speaker in the sustainable agriculture community and is currently a part-time lecturer in the Sustainable Agriculture program at Fleming College in Lindsay Ontario. Real Dirt: Confessions of a Recovering Industrial Farmer is Harry’s first book.

	Raising Hope; The Art And Science Of How To Get Unstuck And Overcome Physical, Mental, Emotional, And Spiritual Issues	by Eric Straatsma MS Sep. 27, 2011	$4.99	40007 words	Sample 30%
	Author bio: The problem today in most individuals, countries and cities is that there is a lack of any hope, due to a lack of long range vision or long term future goals. There is a general lack of real 'community' in most civilized countries. There is a general lack of unity as well as plenty of fear and despair about where humanity is going overall. For example, most corporations and small businesses have no planning that goes beyond one year, and it is very rare indeed for a corporation to plan or set goals more than one to five years into the future. Many individuals have no goals or plans at all. Those that have plans, most often do not look beyond several years into the future. In my experience, only a few people and a rare organization plans or looks at the effect of their decisions on seven future generations of their children. As a futurist and social ecologist, Eric offers a way to create or shift to a way of living and doing business, based on human/community needs and sustainability, not just greed.

	Feeding your Family in a Fried Economy	by Denise Hansen Feb. 21, 2011	$2.99	16043 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Take someone who was raised in the suburbs, give her an advanced education, drop her in the middle of Montana, and see what happens! She learns to love the soil, knows how to make do, knows how to make things “from scratch,” and loves to share this passion with others. Denise Hansen grew up on Long Island and then attended Brigham Young University, where she received both a BS and MS in nutrition. Then she and her husband moved to Bigfork, Montana, where she learned a whole new way of life. Ten years later, a move to a remote corner of northeastern Washington State continued her newfound rural lifestyle. Most of her work as a registered dietitian has been teaching, from children through seniors, concepts of nutrition or hands-on cooking. But most of her time was spent raising a family and producing food at home. As year 2000 approached, people began asking her how to prepare for possible food emergencies, and her first book, Eating Off the Grid - storing and cooking foods without electricity, was published in 1999. As of 2011, it is being republished as a series of four ebooks, with updated information and many photograph-enhanced instructions, under the series title, Unshackled UnChef. Her latest work, Feeding Your Family in a Fried Economy, is a workbook that takes the reader step by step, gradually releasing you from dependence on supermarket foods and prices, and saving from 30% to 50% or more on grocery bills. Hansen will soon be addressing the production side of eating, with eBooks on gardening and eating from your harvest year round. With all of us making changes in how we feed our families we WILL make a difference.

	Touch Life	by Craig Blewett Feb. 13, 2009	$2.99	15514 words	Sample 15%
	Author bio: Dancing in the rain, picnics in green meadows, barefoot walks on the beach - This is Touching Life! There is no doubt that my kids have reawakened in me a zest to Touch Life. A couple of years ago I found myself lying leisurely under the cool shade of an umbrella on a beach. We'd enjoyed a great holiday, and as I sipped on a cold drink I watched the children building sandcastles and yelping with glee as the waves came and flooded their walls. Thinking back on my holiday I began to realise that although it was filled with great tastes, great sights, great sounds and even great smells, there was no Touch. I had lost my touch for life, and with it had gone the energy, the zeal for life that exudes from our children. It was then that I realised, like so many "mature" adults have, that I have persecuted touch! My reawakening of life has come from reigniting touch...what an awesome journey it is.
