How I Cured My Psoriasis	by Marinda Dunbar Feb. 02, 2011	$17.00	2909 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: I love people and get along with both young and old. My husband get ticked off when we visit family and friends - I can't stop talking. Routine is something I need in my life, and hate being disorganized (I get upset and moody). Watching movies or music DVDs fills my week-ends, or when I have time for myself. Movies based on true life stories are my favorite. Reading biographies is also something I enjoy, especially stories of overcoming difficulties in life. I'm really good at setting and reaching goals I set for myself, especially when it has to do with my health and well being. For example, finding a cure for my psoriasis. And I also set a goal to lose weight - lost 24 kg (and it's been off for over a year). My biggest love in life is music - I cannot imagine life without music! Not a specific genre, but all styles of music. I wrote my ebook, "How I Cured My Psoriasis" in the hope of helping someone else with psoriasis. I thought my ebook might be of value in some way or another, or give someone encouragement to show that a person doesn't have to believe everything your doctor says. I really hope my ebook will motivate anyone who is suffering with this skin disorder.

Why Do You Overeat? When All You Want Is To Be Slim	by Zoe Harcombe Jan. 29, 2011	$9.95	97828 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: ZoÃ«â€™s passion is her vocation. ZoÃ« spends her time researching and writing about obesity, diets and weight loss and she works exclusively in this field. She is author of the best selling book "Stop Counting Calories and Start Losing Weight", which was the follow-up to "Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim". The result of 20 yearsâ€™ research into the causes of overeating, ZoÃ«â€™s books go against traditional diet advice and are the first to address the three fundamental medical conditions that cause food cravings and therefore the compulsion to overeat. This understanding has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight quickly, easily and healthily through The Harcombe Diet approach. ZoÃ« was the first person from her state school to graduate from Cambridge University. The paradox of escalating obesity and overwhelming desire to be slim has been a constant fascination to her and she set out to try to understand the obesity epidemic in the late 1980's, when UK obesity rates had just hit double figures. By the end of the millennium, UK obesity rates were 22.6% and 25.8% for men and women respectively and have worsened further since. By studying nutrition and, more importantly, by questioning every principle taught in nutrition and public health dietary advice, ZoÃ« has found virtually every 'fact' to be anything but. From misapplying thermodynamics to five-a-day having no evidence base; from 1lb not equalling 3,500 calories to our eat less/do more advice being fundamentally flawed, very little has stood up to scrutiny. ZoÃ«'s most hardback book "The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it?" is the presentation of what we have got wrong and the evidence for what would be right.

Melodie's Secret Book of the Fey, Charms and Spells	by Cuger Brant Jan. 15, 2011	$1.99	18776 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: CUGER BRANT was born in London, England. He is an experienced environmentalist and has been working in this field for the last 20 years. He and his family currently reside in the southern counties of England. I attended the old Lambeth Workhouse institution from the age of six years when it was known as (Woodvale Childrenâ€™s Home). Later, my brothers and i were later sent to â€˜Beechholmeâ€™ in Banstead, Surrey. It was a Village type childrenâ€™s home with its own Church, School, and Infirmary. The houses were spaced along an avenue of trees, each named after a tree or bush. Each house had its â€˜House Parentsâ€™ who were responsible for approximately 14 children of both sexes. It was here that I was taught the basic survival skills such as cooking, sowing, cleaning and, with kindness and regular exercise, had a healthy outlook on life. This experience left me with a keen sense of fairness, justice and the consequence of peopleâ€™s actions both good and bad, on others (and a good sense of humour) You needed it! Looking back, the one thing I have realised from my childhood years is that, love, patience and fair play are the building blocks of good character and moral values. I started my career as a dodo farmer. But after 30 years of returned job applications (which left me a bit bitter and twisted) I decided on a new path. Finally (due to my experience) I had the choice of being a dustman or an environmentalist. But as the former was taken, I took the latter. I soon found that everyone was totally disinterested, so I decided to write stories. Why â€˜Artâ€™ is always supposed to be perceived as images through the eye puzzles me. Art is giving the mind a concept; or a concept to the mindâ€™s eye. I am an artist and my canvass is projecting concepts through the written word. As far as i am concerned; I am a philosophic psychologist with a twist of comedy. As far as you are concerned; I am either a madman or have a point. Wellâ€¦ is that not art? I write â€˜WHAT IF?â€™ stories. I write them to stretch your imagination and your awareness. I hope they give you pleasure, food for thought and change your perception about you, your world, and your safe little place in it! My writing style and method may seem different to you. I have read (in numerous cases, tried to read) so many books, only to be sent to sleep or put off by over descriptive meandering that, when analysed, really has nothing to do with the story or the plot, rather just to do with the authorâ€™s imaginings of his literal, descriptive skills, even to do with â€˜bulkingâ€™ a book out a bit. Both I and other avid readers I know personally tend to get very vexed with these â€˜over-stretched booksâ€™ telling me nothing and just wasting my time. My philosophy is: if you give a man who can read music a Stradivarius, it doesnâ€™t mean that you will get a good tune. But if that man has a seed of inspiration to explore and a need to express his inspiration through his music, then you have something worth listening to. Writing, to my mind, is always an opportunity to educate the reader. It is also for me, personally, an art of imagination, an opportunity for expression and concepts. My writing is not too â€˜characterâ€™ driven, nor is it supposed to be. Its aim is to teach and educate a little, to make you aware of the natural dangers of our modern world. If you like my, rather abstract style and view of things then all the better. If you do not, go and bury your head again. I believe it is how the imagination and a few words are used to capture an idea, then to project that idea to a reader, to get an inquisitive mind working and in doing, stopping that inquisitive mind dismissing a concept, an idea, and putting down an unread book. If I have done just that, then I feel have created something! I sincerely hope if you read my books, they were not what you were expecting! Author Note: A word about my writing, facts and study material: Trust me when I say; I get all my facts right before I put pen to paper. It gives me the privilege to distort them as much as I please with a clear conscience. ************************ Books to date: RDD: What would you do if a Dirty Bomb went off in your town?

Skinny Thinking Daily Thoughts	by Laura Katleman-Prue Jan. 10, 2011	$7.95	30521 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Laura Katleman-Prue Author of Skinny Thinking Skinny Thinking grew out of Laura Katleman-Prue's desire to heal the eating, weight, and body image issues that plagued her for 35 years. She discovered that the root of her problem was the way she thought about food. In fact, changing her diet was irrelevant, if she didn't change her thinking habits. By teaching herself to go on a "thought diet" and transform her relationship with food, she experienced permanent healing. This healing motivated her to write Skinny Thinking and to lead Skinny Thinking Workshops in order to help others heal their eating issues as well. Laura attended Pomona College and pursued graduate studies in Marketing at Boston College. In 1980, she founded the Boston Brownie Company Inc. with retail and wholesale distribution in 2,000 stores in 14 states along the eastern seaboard. In 1992, Laura completed coursework at Lesley University in Counseling Psychology. That same year, she received a Certification in Transpersonal Psychology from the Theravision Institute. A long-time meditator, she has been teaching meditation and self-inquiry for the past four years. She began teaching Skinny Thinking Workshops in 2009.
