  Thank you all so very much !!!

  I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our readers for placing one of our three published books on thier xmas shopping list. We truly appreciate your support, which encourages us to go on with our volunteer work as the hosts of the Conscious Discussions talk radio show, managing our 2 blogs, our work as writers and more... Few people are aware of this, but 10-30% of the booksales are donated to the SPCA organization - an animal rescue shelter located in BC-Canada - in the form of cash, food, cleaning products and other donations; depending on their immediate needs.
  
  For those of you who are interested in attaining a copy of Trash Talk, Towards Understanding or Purple Snowflake Marketing - but don't know where to begin:
  
  Trash Talk and Towards Understanding are available through most online bookstores and by ordering through your local bookstore. Our ebook, Purple Snowflake Marketing, is currently available through fictionwise.com, twilighttimes.com and booklocker.com.
  
  In sincere appreciation,
  
  Lillian & Dave
