Barfußkinder: Eine Kindheit in der Zwischenkriegszeit by Berta Margreiter Barfußkinder: Eine Kindheit in der Zwischenkriegszeit by Berta Margreiter April 06, 2012 $19.99 80612 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
Berta Margreiter geb. Rabl wurde am 7. Dezember 1924 als jüngstes von vier Kindern in Hopfgarten, Grafenweg 4, geboren. Ihre Familie besaß eine kleine Landwirtschaft. Leider verstarb der Vater schon im Jahre 1926. Seine Witwe musste sich allein mit den kleinen Kindern ohne jegliche Unterstützung durchbringen. Berta besuchte die Volksschule in Niederau-Wilschönau, danach half sie daheim im Haus und in der Landwirtschaft, zumal ihr Bruder Sepp, der die Landwirtschaft einmal übernehmen sollte, zum Arbeitsdienst und dann zur Wehrmacht einberufen wurde. Doch die Mutter kränkelte immer mehr, sie musste ins Spital und sodann in die Klinik nach Innsbruck eingeliefert werden. Dort starb sie am 7. März 1941. Einige Zeit vor und nach dem Tode der Mutter war Berta allein im Haus und versorgte Hauswesen und Vieh so gut sie vermochte. Dann wurde das kleine Anwesen verpachtet. Berta kam zu einer alleinstehenden Tante nach Kundl, von dort besuchte sie die Handels-schule in Schwaz. Danach war sie als Büroangestellte im Arbeitsamt Schwaz beschäftigt, kurze Zeit nach dem Krieg noch ein Jahr in den Jenbacher Werken. Berta heiratete den nachmaligen Volksschuldirektor Bartl Margreiter und bekam mit ihm zwei Kinder. Danach war sie nur noch Hausfrau und Mutter. Nebenbei aber, soweit es ihre Zeit erlaubte, begann sie mit dem Schreiben. Das war ihr schon seit jeher ein Bedürfnis. Es entstanden Mundartgedichte und auch Kurzgeschichten, vorerst ohne Ehrgeiz, sie zu veröffentlichen. Ihre ersten Förderer waren der Kulturredakteur Alfred Strobl von der Tiroler Tageszeitung, Dr. Anton Brugger vom Tiroler Bauernbund, vor allem aber Dr. Friedrich Haider vom ORF. Er förderte viele Mundartschaffende aus Nord- und Südtirol. Durch seine Sendungen machte er sie einem breiten Hörerkreis bekannt. Nach dem Ableben ihres Mannes verblieb Berta Margreiter noch 22 Jahre lang allein in ihrem Heim am Sonnbichl. Eine plötzliche Erkrankung zwang sie zur Aufgabe ihres bisherigen Wirkungskreises, sie konnte sich selbst nicht mehr versorgen. Aus diesem Grund zog sie in das Altersheim Reith und hat diesen Entschluss noch nie bereut. Von allem Anfang an bot man ihr dort die Möglichkeit zum Schreiben, ein Angebot, das sie dankbar annahm.

Author bio:
DAVID MORRELL David Morrell is the award-winning author of First Blood, the novel in which Rambo was created. He was born in 1943 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. In 1960, at the age of seventeen, he became a fan of the classic television series, Route 66, about two young men in a Corvette convertible traveling the United States in search of America and themselves. The scripts by Stirling Silliphant so impressed Morrell that he decided to become a writer. In 1966, the work of another writer (Hemingway scholar Philip Young) prompted Morrell to move to the United States, where he studied with Young at the Pennsylvania State University and received his M.A. and Ph. D. in American literature. There, he also met the esteemed science-fiction author William Tenn (real name Philip Klass), who taught Morrell the basics of fiction writing. The result was First Blood, a ground-breaking novel about a returned Vietnam veteran suffering from post-trauma stress disorder who comes into conflict with a small-town police chief and fights his own version of the Vietnam War. That “father” of modern action novels was published in 1972 while Morrell was a professor in the English department at the University of Iowa. He taught there from 1970 to 1986, simultaneously writing other novels, many of them international bestsellers, including the classic spy trilogy, The Brotherhood of the Rose (the basis for a top-rated NBC miniseries that premiered after a Super Bowl), The Fraternity of the Stone, and The League of Night and Fog. Eventually wearying of two professions, Morrell gave up his academic tenure in order to write full time. Shortly afterward, his fifteen-year-old son Matthew was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and died in 1987, a loss that haunts not only Morrell’s life but his work, as in his memoir about Matthew, Fireflies, and his novel Desperate Measures, whose main character lost a son. “The mild-mannered professor with the bloody-minded visions,” as one reviewer called him, Morrell is the author of thirty-three books, including such high-action thrillers as The Naked Edge, Creepers, and The Spy Who Came for Christmas (set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives). Always interested in different ways to tell a story, he wrote the six-part comic-book series, Captain America: The Chosen. His writing book, The Successful Novelist, analyzes what he has learned during his four decades as an author. Morrell is a co-founder of the International Thriller Writers organization. Noted for his research, he is a graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School for wilderness survival as well as the G. Gordon Liddy Academy of Corporate Security. He is also an honorary lifetime member of the Special Operations Association and the Association of Intelligence Officers. He has been trained in firearms, hostage negotiation, assuming identities, executive protection, and car fighting, among numerous other action skills that he describes in his novels. To research the aerial sequences in The Shimmer, he became a private pilot. Morrell is an Edgar and Anthony nominee as well as a three-time recipient of the distinguished Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association. The International Thriller Writers organization gave him its prestigious ThrillerMaster Award. With eighteen million copies in print, his work has been translated into twenty-six languages.

Hello future Sales Psychologist ! If I can do it, so can you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share with you the amazing discoveries about the true nature of persuasion and sales success. Sales is the most important profession in the world because nothing happens unless a sale is made. No company, no business, no economy can survive without earning revenue that is generated from the efforts of the sales team. They are the modern day heros and warrriors who go out into the wild unknown to bring back sustainance and prosperity, not only for themselves, but for their colleagues, their organisations, their economies and the whole world. Yet sales professionals are often not allowed to realise how important and valuable they are. I am passionate about empowering sales professionals through my books, training courses, coaching and sales clinics in London, Dubai and world wide. I look forward to hearing from you and being part of your journey in transforming yourself from Sales Executive to Sales Psychologist. With my fondest wishes for your greatest success.

Author bio:
Most of my biographical information can be found in my memoir “Lies and Broken Promises - A Tale of Addiction”. I did not do very well in school, but, later in my late 20's, I went on to earn my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey. I earned highest honors with a 3.85 grade point average for my bachelor’s degree and 4.00 for my master’s degree. At Montclair, I concentrated on experimental psychology even though they did not have that specific degree program at the time. I knew I wanted to get into a Ph.D. program in experimental psychology. I enrolled in a three year doctoral program in Experimental Psychology at Fordham University. That was a wake-up call for me since I am an atheist and Fordham is a Catholic University. Half the courses are taught by priests. I was also accepted into the Experimental Psychology program at Kentucky State University with a fellowship good for $4,000 for each of 3 years. I turned the fellowship down because I was involved with a woman and didn’t want to end the relationship by moving to Kentucky for three years. I hoped to concentrate on statistics and courses like Physiological and Experimental Psychology. I thought that would make for a good career as a professor and researcher. However, a motorcycle accident ended my career in college. I have no lingering problems from the accident, but after 8 months on pain pills, I couldn’t psych myself up to get back into college work. When I knew a Ph.D. was not in my future, I looked for work in the computer field which was very rewarding for me. I always wanted to write since way back in grammar school. I never had the time or the attention span to sit down and do any serious writing until a couple of years ago. My focus over the next few years will be on more writing.
