“Warm, original, funny and heartbreaking, this novel made me drop everything so I could read it in one lovely afternoon. When You Read This is inventive and witty, but more importantly it’s honest and wise. I adored it.” — Jennifer Close, author of Girls in White Dresses and The Hopefuls For fans of Maria Semple and Rainbow Rowell, a comedy-drama for the digital age: an epistolary debut novel about the ties that bind and break our hearts. For four years, Iris Massey worked side by side with PR maven Smith Simonyi, helping clients perfect their brands. But Iris has died, taken by terminal illness at only thirty-three. Adrift without his friend and colleague, Smith is surprised to discover that in her last six months, Iris created a blog filled with sharp and often funny musings on the end of a life not quite fulfilled. She also made one final request: for Smith to get her posts published as a book. With the help of his charmingly eager, if overbearingly forthright, new intern Carl, Smith tackles the task of fulfilling Iris’s last wish. Before he can do so, though, he must get the approval of Iris’ big sister Jade, an haute cuisine chef who’s been knocked sideways by her loss. Each carrying their own baggage, Smith and Jade end up on a collision course with their own unresolved pasts and with each other. Told in a series of e-mails, blog posts, online therapy submissions, text messages, legal correspondence, home-rental bookings, and other snippets of our virtual lives, When You Read This is a deft, captivating romantic comedy—funny, tragic, surprising, and bittersweet—that candidly reveals how we find new beginnings after loss.
Big Money With Your Book ...Without Selling A Single Copy!
Author: Trevor Crane
Publisher: Epic Author Publishing
ISBN: 1947276093
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Let’s begin this with total transparency. Most people don’t make a lot of money with their book. The average self-published author makes less than $100 per year. The average U.S. nonfiction book is now selling less than 250 copies per year and less than 2,000 copies over its lifetime. Very few titles are big sellers. Only 62 of 1,000 business books released in 2009 sold more than 5,000 copies, according to an analysis by the Codex Group (New York Times, March 31, 2010). A book has far less than a 1% chance of being stocked in an average bookstore. There are thousands of titles competing for that limited shelf space. What if your book becomes a bestseller? Most people think, that once that happens, your book will take off. Then you’ll be in-demand for interviews, and everyone will just magically just come buy your stuff, and you’ll be famous… right? Wrong. “If you build it, they will come.” Only worked for Kevin Costner in the Field Of Dreams. (And “Shoeless Joe Jackson” is probably not your target audience.) The TRUTH is: You need to have a system in place (i.e. products and services, or a business) to monetize your book. What happens if you don’t? Well… not much. And that’s the problem. Inside this book, you will learn 4 specific strategies, THAT YOU CAN USE, to make 6-7 figures with your book. Yeah, and you can do them WITHOUT selling a single copy of your book. Inside this book, you’ll learn the BIG SECRETS from interviews with authors who are using these strategies RIGHT NOW… to grow a massive INCOME, and make a difference. Your book could, and should become one of your most powerful marketing tools. Get it now, and learn how you can start making money with your book today. *BONUS: You’ll actually discover many more than 4 strategies for you to make money with your book. But “Shhhhhh… don’t tell anybody." MORE in this book: If you know you have a book or books inside you, here you will learn not only how to get that message and those ideas into the right book and get it published, but more importantly how to Turn it into your most powerful marketing tool. If you have doubts or question that you have, ‘what it takes’ to write a book and find the idea of writing one daunting, this book will replace your doubts and questions with practical advice and motivation. Whether you want to make it hit BESTSELLER lists, or just “sell more" of your products or services, this book will help give you a competitive advantage, that makes it easier to do so. INSIDE: • WHY having a book is your best marketing tool • HOW to build authority and credibility with a book • STEP-BY-STEP how to turn your book into your ultimate 'Lead Generation Tool' • NINJA strategies to use your book to bypass gatekeepers, and get it into the hands of your ‘Ideal Client’ • MEDIA secrets for authors that gets you tons of Free Publicity • HOW to use your book to get more profitable Speaking Engagements • And so much more...

But it will take your hard work, and follow-through to make it happen. You can do it. And this book will help you. But it will not do it for you.

Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
"I found the journal at work. Well, I don't know if you'd call it work, but that's where I found it. It's the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims and outrageous plans. One of these plans was for an "Interdimensional Transfer Apparatus"--That allowed someone (in this case me and my friend Pete) to travel to other versions of the infinite dimensions that make up the multiverse. Crazy, right? But that's just where the crazy starts." [back cover].

Book Description
“A beautifully rendered epic journey . . . . The novel works on many levels and excels at them all.” —New York Journal of Books In this captivating and surprising novel of spiritual discovery—a No. 1 bestseller in India—a young American travels to India and finds himself tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Max Pzoras is the poster child for the American Dream. The child of Greek immigrants who grew up in a dangerous New York housing project, he triumphed over his upbringing and became a successful Wall Street analyst. Yet on the frigid December night he’s involved in a violent street scuffle, Max begins to confront questions about suffering and mortality that have dogged him since his mother’s death. His search takes him to the farthest reaches of India, where he encounters a mysterious night market, almost freezes to death on a hike up the Himalayas, and finds himself in an ashram in a drought-stricken village in South India. As Max seeks answers to questions that have bedeviled him—can yogis walk on water and live for 200 years without aging? Can a flesh-and-blood man ever achieve nirvana?—he struggles to overcome his skepticism and the pull of family tugging him home. In an ultimate bid for answers, he embarks on a dangerous solitary meditation in a freezing Himalayan cave, where his physical and spiritual endurance is put to its most extreme test. By turns a gripping adventure story and a journey of tremendous inner transformation, The Yoga of Max's Discontent is a contemporary take on man's classic quest for transcendence.

It's the self-help book you've always wanted. The one that tells you're fine just the way you are - and that you can probably get away with doing even less. It sounds like a paradox, I know. But just look at the mighty sloth, who makes no excuses for who he is - and becomes everything he needs to be. And now it's your turn. Take a nap instead of mowing the lawn. Save yourself a few steps and jaywalk. Save yourself a few pen strokes and replace your signature with an X. Make life easier, and you'll find that you'll be just as lovable, productive or unproductive as you would've been anyway - but without all the unecessary stress and guilt. Now THAT'S what I call reaching your potential!
