    I’m an author in the process of self-publishing my first book, “Guy Talk, Girl Talk” by Sal Marino through Xlibris. The book is an amusingly filthy account of sexual yearnings, unfulfilled love, brushes with fame and the not so ordinary oddities of everyday life. A Funism Book!
    In some creative circles I’m known as the Founder of The Funism Art Movement(Google Search: Sal Marino Funism). Through my visual art endeavors, I have posted on numerous sites, promoting my artwork in venues which score high in search results. I have since began to post on those sites promoting my book by referencing my website: http://www.salmarinoauthor.com. in posts and links.
    I would suggest to any authors that they join and post on sites which have some relationship to their subject matter, giving them an opportunity to promote their books by creating links and reference to their titles. It’s easy and it’s free!

  21. Yes, I would like to participate! My book, “What’s Wrong With Mormons?” (Cold Tree Press) is due out within the next few weeks (in June).

    You can learn about the book at the Web site: http://www.whatswrongwithmormons.com

    Thank you for this opportunity!

  25. TERMINAL NEGLECT is a fictional account of self serving powerbrokers who infiltrate the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms to leverage the FDA to approve an unsafe drug. Commissioner of Health Dr. Jonathan Rogers gets sucked into this firestorm at his own peril as he fights a ruthless collection of evil doers known, ironically, as The Health Club. TERMINAL NEGLECT will be published in September.

  26. Book Marketing Buzz:

    Dorothy Thompson asked me to write and tell you what I’m doing to sell my book. I’m afraid I don’t have anything worthwhile to add.

    SCATTERED LEAVES is being promoted by my website and the publishers: Multi Media (Crystal Dreams)and in addition I have hired Irene Watson and Ms. Thompson to do their tricks…virtual blog tours, radio spots and things of this sort. I have ordered book marks and they are being sent out with some of the books that are sold (maybe).

    I have sent a lot of the books to various book reviewers.

    I have some help from Jaime in Australia.

    I would like additional help myself since I’m new at the selling books game.

    Lots of love to everyone,

    Richard

    Book title: The Depth of My Soul

    Book cover url: http://store.i-proclaimbookstore.com/depthofmysoul.html

    book store: I-proclaim.com

    I am the author of “The depth of my soul” and this is how my book will benefit you. It is a book of poetry and in the book; I focus on injustices such as wars, corruption, war crimes, religious fundamentalism, child abuse, dictatorship, relationship problems etc. When I wrote this book, I was also inspired by the news I watch on CNN and other media. The goal of this book is to share my approach with my readers about the problems we face in this world and also to hear from them.

    Change for our societies

    Whether we like it or not these problems are real and I believe that everyone of us can make a change in our societies. Time after time, our leaders promise that those who stand behind war crimes will face justice, but when they are warned about the problems, they do not listen. I do wander if the national interests come above reaching out to people who are in pain and those who have been victims of torture and oppression.

    Abuse

    In the book, I also talk about child abuse because I was a victim of oral sex myself, when I was a young kid and I have not still overcome that pain. The message, which I want to send to my readers, is that abusers are cowards and their goal is to find someone whom they can isolate and blame for their problems. To be honest with my readers, my abusive past is the root of my atheism and my hostility toward religion. I was also a victim of psychological abuse and the only I deal with it is by being a hard working person.

    Freedom and justice

    I focus on the fight for freedom, justice and peace and hope for our countries, especially in the situation where we are dealing with the financial crisis because hope is the engine of optimism. Freedom is important because in our Western societies, we enjoy so much freedom and we still need to support those who do have freedom because if we don’t help those who don’t have any freedom, then we’re giving dictators wings to fly. When they fly, they oppress their people and find ways to corrupt some multinational companies so that things can go their way. In order to fight religious fundamentalism, we have do discover why people become religious fanatics and we have to fight for separation between politics and religion. When you mix politics and religion, there are more problems. I have written poems about people like Mandela, Martin Luther King, and Miriam Makeba because they are icons of justice.

    Poetry

    I express myself through poetry because poetry goes beyond logic and I express my emotions about these circumstances.

    I have published my book at I – Proclaim publishing house, which is an imprint of Dorrance Publishing Company, America’s Leading Author Services Company Since 1920.
    I am opened to questions and I will do my best to answer them. Please feel free to ask questions and I am also open for a debate. I hope to hear from you soon.

  29. I have marketed my book with pumpupyourbookpromotion.com and I have received several interviews. There were many questions that I had to answer and those answers would be sent in some U.S. newspapers. I have had difficulties to market my book as an author. Believe me, I tried to make compains with Facebook about my book and I paid $25 every single day, but my compain was not successful. I was so down and I felt like I failed to market my book. When I discovered pumpumpyourbookpromotion.com, I was helped and guided and today, I am foroever grateful to everyone from pumpupyourbookpromotion.com for helping me. If it weren’t for them, I would still strugggle to market my book today.

  30. I have received help and guidance from Doroty Thompson and today, I am very glad that in April, my book is going to be in the virtual tour in April. My first book, “The Depth of My Soul” is a book of poetry.

    Once upon a very real day in my life, having wandered for hours and hours , all afternoon and into the evening, lost in thought, full of emotion with more than a few broken dreams at my feet, I happened upon an apple tree and sat beneath it, slumped with deep dismay.

    I had been trying for decades to understand this life of mine and the whole of our world.

    Finally I gave up the inner struggle and quite simply surrendered.

    “There are no absolute answers” , I moaned aloud. “ I give up.”

    And I really did give up. But in the silence that arose all around me – there came a voice, a soft voice and it was not my own , but it spoke and I heard it within.

    “I am who am” , the voice whispered. “And I am who you are too… For we are one, you and I and your mind is my mind. We are connected- Forever.”

    I was stunned , of course but the voice simply went on. There was no stopping to reflect – not just yet.

    “Your mind is my mind – but my mind is ALL MINDS. My mind is time itself and the very space you inhabit. I am the Alplha and the Omega. I am this moment – always.”

    I waited but nothing more was said for a time.

    “This is all very cryptic,” I protested at last. I was not at all convinced, so I sat with head in hands-

    “ I cannot understand,” I uttered.

    The voice laughed.

    “You have come for a picnic, perhaps?’

    A ripe apple fell from the tree -

    “When an apple is ripe , so it falls,” the voice stated.

    ‘You, too, are ripe and ready now. And if you listen , I will tell you precisely what you need to knowThe truth is – you are in paradise itself, dear one, and I Have listened to you for years…

    (and the following is all that was spoken

    -listen …)

    CHAPTER 1

    .

    Yesterday.

    Dear You

    I see you in the garden,

    Head in hands.

    Why so glum?

    Why so miserable

    in paradise.

    I watched you as you left the garden.

    You came with your wish list to whisper to the stars.

    Your soul was on fire.

    “THIS TIME ”

    You said,

    “This time,

    I want results”.

    You fell asleep.

    THE stars twinkled

    You dreamed that you were in a garden.

    You dreamed that you had a wish list

    You dreamed you had all the answers

    You dreamed you knew

    That there was a real truth

    You dreamed that the answers were written across the sky

    Clear for all to see.

    You dreamed that you looked at the stars

    You dreamed that you said, “What’s the point”

    You dreamed that you threw the crumpled wish list in the gutter

    And left the garden, dejected.

    I have here in my hand that wish list.

    Awake my friend.

    Wishes are ALWAYS

    Granted..

    Really all your wishes

    add up to one ..

    And here I quote you

    “To make sense of this place

    What is this life about?

    What is

    the plan?

    Is there even a plan..

    If so who or what is

    The brains behind it all?”

    You are on the most fantastic journey

    And don’t even know it…

    yet…

    Really

    One wish

    Answers all of that.

    YES

    YES is the answer.

    YES

    There IS magic

    YES

    Money

    DOES

    Grow on trees

    YES

    There

    IS

    A pot of gold

    Not only at the end

    But

    ALL along the rainbow

    YES

    There is

    A super being

    A Santa Claus

    Good faery

    Guardian Angel

    YES YES YES!!

    Think about it

    How can you imagine

    What CANNOT exist?

    -IMAGINATION -

    Is key to creation.

    TO IMAGINE

    Effectively,

    IS

    TO

    CREATE

    To create is to give life.

    the Creator

    An overwhelming sight.

    I am the loveliest fragrance

    The perfect song

    The Happiest laughter.

    I am intelligence.

    I am

    Pure love

    I am JOY

    BLISS

    LAUGHTER

    FUN

    ENCHANTMENT

    I AM

    A daisy petal

    A swan

    A cloud

    A grain of sand

    A mountain

    An ocean

    A breeze

    A feather..

    I am ALL that you see

    At it’s most perfect

    All that you feel

    At it’s most perfect

    Active or passive..

    I am light

    Shining so fast

    I am invisible..

    I am

    Whatever I choose

    Whenever I choose..

    All of this you are thinking

    “Well,

    to be honest God,

    None of that is new to me”.

    But it is new to you

    Because up to now

    This was just an idea,

    a concept,

    a theory..

    in your head

    Now I want to get real…

    …..

    Yes

    It is true

    I am your God

    I am your God.

    The one who makes you

    But you are my God

    The one who makes me

    I am your God

    The one who gives life to

    Your good desires

    You are my God

    because you desire

    what I give life to..

    you command

    And I obey

    Not the other way around.

    But I am here to help

    One hundred percent

    By inspiration..

    By showing you clearly

    What will

    Or

    Will not

    Work..

    Relax

    and

    I will explain.

    NEW PAGE

    You are my God

    Because you

    have the power to

    DO as I do

    The power to express me

    and

    The power to express

    WHO

    YOU

    REALLY

    ARE.

    .

    We are mirror images of each other.

    You

    Also are everywhere in life

    And can do anything with life.

    But you do not

    Recognize it

    yet

    Keep listening-

    This gets very clear.

    plus

    You probably, already, have a hunch that this is true..

    ……

    NEW PAGE

    For so long now you have been seeking answers..

    Questions fill your mind, sometimes,

    wondering what its all about.

    I’ve always promised that when you knock the door would open…

    But when you knock

    you ask

    for

    the strangest things.

    For so long now I’ve watched as you miss the answers,

    even tho’ they are under your nose

    for so long I’ve heard you ask..

    Why god?

    Why?

    When those strange things happen.

    And for so long now

    I’ve heard people say

    “Ah it must be gods will”

    Or

    It ‘s bad luck

    when something goes wrong..

    Believe me

    It certainly is not MY will

    And “luck”

    Is a DEFINITE

    Once you know how

    To

    Use

    It…

    NOTHING BAD IS MY WILL…

    It

    Is

    -Strange as it may seem-

    Yours.

    Listen…

    Everything good that you can possibly imagine

    already lives

    in a state of anticipation

    eager for expression – life.

    For physical expression of all that is-

    Earth is the best place.

    It is a sort of melting pot , if you like.

    All the elements of attraction

    Bond perfectly here

    To hold matter together.

    You have heard the expression live life to the full.

    But that too is just a concept.

    Now I am going to tell you how…

    You will finally see, hear, sense and know

    What seems to elude you

    ABOUT YOU

    ABOUT LIFE.

    IN six days I made all that pleased me.

    IT WAS AWESOME TO BEHOLD

    All that represented Me.

    It was sheer delight.

    Everything was

    PERFECTION

    IN DETAIL.

    Flawless.

    YES,

    I saw the perfect grace of the trees

    The flowers

    Birds and animals..

    Yes ,I saw how they operated according to their

    Individual make-up.

    They were perfect!

    but there was more..

    While all of these things were radiant

    They had no real challenges to the spirit

    How does a spirit know its strength?

    Its beauty?

    Its power?

    What evidence could it give?

    These things of great awe and beauty

    did not fully answer.

    They did not fully

    explain to me WHO I was or

    what I was capable of -

    They radiated

    And reflected back an amazing beauty

    And serenity.

    They soothed, whispered, communed with the heavens and earth.

    We spoke and loved each other.

    BUT they did not test me.

    They knew my spirit

    They read my mind

    And yet, I knew there was more.

    And the wind blew-

    Leaves rattled…

    Everything smiled

    All at once.

    I wondered if I could put ALL I had made

    The sun, moon, stars, heavens, earth, trees, plants, animal,

    minerals ,wind, rain, fire ,water,

    into ONE being.

    And so

    I re- “thunk”!!

    And a dream unfolded,

    Full of magic,

    Laughter,

    Joy,

    Love,

    Abundance,

    Courage,

    Power,

    Mystery

    And

    Music

    All that was within me!

    Suddenly

    All that I had made up to this,

    Fused!

    Vegetable, animal, water, mineral

    Stars

    Everything !

    And there was a GREAT stirring within me

    Instantly it

    CAME- TUMBLING –POURING- GUSHING OUT

    and

    What was gestating in me

    Was finally born…

    THERE YOU WERE…

    BEAUTIFUL.

    MAGNIFICENT!!

    SMILING!!

    Standing tall and erect

    Your feet on the earth

    Your mind in the heavens.

    A glorious spirit

    In human form

    Basking in luminous creative substance.

    And I

    FELL IN LOVE with YOU

    YOU

    The WONDER OF YOU…

    ALL ENCOMPASSING YOU.

    THE ULTIMATE

    MY ULTI- MATE
    YOU!

    NEW PAGE

    YOU were the culmination of everything I had done to that point..

    You literally were everything put together in one..

    “Now- My YOU “, I said “ here is something

    “QUITE SPECTACULAR..

    This has to be the ultimate

    I CAN NOT IMPROVE ON THIS.

    I had found the perfect code..

    The perfect mode!!

    It has all the beauty of the tree

    Tall and strong-

    The radiance of every planet-

    The fragrance of every flower-

    The openness of every petal

    The freshness of every dew drop

    The clarity of a rain drop

    The might of the oceans-

    And the riches of the universe..

    All the colours of the rainbow

    All the notes of the scale..

    All the talents of the planets

    All the wisdom and secrets

    Of every other living thing.

    One who has All my attributes

    Powers

    Awareness

    Feelings

    Desires

    One who has my mind..”

    Everything I had previously made

    Went into you…

    There was no more to do

    And so I rested.

    Let this one continue in creating ideas and ideals

    Let this one play

    Here

    Forever

    If this one so wishes..

    Let this one

    BE .

    I will hand it all my laws of attraction

    and

    Creation

    Dominion over every atom

    And this one can gather them together

    As it will,

    To make whatEver it wills

    dance for it joyfully in the heavens..’

    To stoke the light of the heavenly fires

    Into even more beauty…

    And shining through this one

    we can create

    and create

    and create

    to the end of light…

    So that we

    Together can dance

    Down the pathway of eternity

    Back in time to

    Rest once again

    In our original brilliance..

    Should we so desire-

    As silence-

    Peace-

    Space-

    In the heavens..

    It was a dance

    And we were partners

    Giant Masters of the universe..

    With planets ,stars, atoms

    It is essential you understand your mind…

    What other species has mind?

    You may see life or not,

    As your greatest gift,

    AS life just goes on and on.

    But I beg to differ

    I see Mind as your greatest gift.

    Mind has

    Free will.

    And therefore mind determines WHAT EXACTLY you DO with life…

    So would you abuse this instrument of

    Wonder?

    It is the portal thro which you

    can receive all information -

    Or deny it.

    It is the builder or the destroyer.

    It is the censor
