Calhoun ***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Through the Hourglass is a stunning collection of moving poetry spanning four decades and several seasons of life as experienced and expressed by the author – a pioneer and national leader in the field of youth violence prevention. “The very reason I have devoted my life to helping the young men and women caught in the grip of violence and juvenile crime lies in these personal poems about life’s most powerful connections,” said Calhoun. “Quite simply, I know what’s at stake. I know what they stand to lose. When they turn to violence they rob themselves and their victims of the profound and precious moments of a lifetime filled with meaningful relationships and authentic experiences.” With chapters devoted to “Courting,” “Kids,” “Teens,” and “The Miracle of Grandchildren,” Calhoun is able to articulate the extraordinary experiences found in the ordinary moments of life: falling in love, tending to a sick child, a grandchild’s fascination with sidewalk cracks, and the gangling growing pains of raising a teen. Readers are moved to emotion as they discover the commonality of the human experience even in these most personal poems. ***ABOUT THE AUTHOR*** John A. Calhoun is an internationally renowned speaker and frequent media guest and editorial contributor. He is currently a senior consultant to the National League of Cities and the U.S. Department of Justice. For more than 20 years, Calhoun was the founding president of the National Crime Prevention Council, prior to which he served under President Carter as the Commissioner of the Administration for Children, Youth and Families. ***MORE INFO*** www.hopematters.org & www.iloveauthors.com 01:07:00ILoveAuthorsnoThrough the Hourglass,John A Calhoun,Poetry,I Love Authors,Melissa Lierman***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Through the Hourglass is a stunning collection of moving poetry spanning four decades and several seasons of life as experienced and exprehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2011/03/11/good-girls-dont-get-fat-how-weight-obsession-is-messing-up-our-girls-by-dr-robyn-silvermanBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2011/03/11/good-girls-dont-get-fat-how-weight-obsession-is-messing-up-our-girls-by-dr-robyn-silverman/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2011/03/11/good-girls-dont-get-fat-how-weight-obsession-is-messing-up-our-girls-by-dr-robyn-silvermanFri, 11 Mar 2011 02:00:00 GMTGood Girls Don't Get Fat: How Weight Obsession is Messing up our Girls by Dr. Robyn Silverman ***ABOUT THE BOOK*** “If you’re wondering whether you should be the one to tell your daughter that she ‘getting fat,’ let me tell you now; DON’T.

This book will inspire you to manifest your dreams and provide immediate actions you can take to create a life of good health, balance and joy. *** ABOUT THE AUTHORS *** Candid and inspiring, Suzanne and Jean- Pierre willingly acknowledge that the American Dream, as they were brought up to believe, has changed and the cost to one’s family, one’s health, and one’s own well-being can only be sustained for a period of time, not for 40 years or more. Along with millions of stressed out, busy professionals, Suzanne and Jean tell a great story and provide a life guidebook that is full of courageous and simple changes that can help us all create the lifestyles we want to live wherever we are. Suzanne and Jean are late baby boomers, highly educated professionals who had a daughter late in life after 17 years of marriage. They have a life many would envy, but it hasn’t helped them live the life they so desire – a perfectly balanced life. What they have learned by living in a small village in the south of France is that there are many simple ways to bring joie de vivre into your daily family life and at the same time some changes require a great deal of courage and patience, but all are possible. ***ADDITIONAL INFO*** www.HealthyJoyfulLiving.com and www.ILoveAuthors.com ***01:01:00ILoveAuthorsnoI Love Authors,Melissa Lierman,Courage and Croissants,Suzanne Saxe Roux,Jean P Roux*** ABOUT THE BOOK *** Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook set in San Francisco and the south of France, is a story andhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/09/24/pug-at-the-beach-an-island-dogs-reflections-on-lifBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/09/24/pug-at-the-beach-an-island-dogs-reflections-on-lif/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/09/24/pug-at-the-beach-an-island-dogs-reflections-on-lifFri, 24 Sep 2010 01:00:00 GMTPug at the Beach: An Island Dog's Reflections on Life by Jackson Dunes***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Pug At The Beach It's not about a breed. It's about a lifestyle. What do you get when you combine the Dahli Lama, Jimmy Buffett, and the turquoise blue waters of a tropical island? Why Pug At The Beach, of course! His name is Pug and he's a common dog with uncommon wisdom. His calm and wise insights combined with his playful attitude make for some very interesting adventures from his home at the beach. Travel with Pug At The Beach and find out how Pug learns to make new friends, overcomes his fear of the unknown, and successfully adapts to change. This innovative and thought provoking book is a whimsical yet philosophical look at life. Tropical drawings along with short verses of text promise to inspire readers of all ages through subjects such as: being mindful, the importance of taking time for ourselves, overcoming any adversity, and remaining true to our authentic selves. ***ABOUT THE AUTHOR*** Diana Taylor, who uses the pen name Jackson Dunes, is an innovative, inspirational writer of the Pug At The Beach books. She teaches people how to pursue their dreams and live a life of joy. Her own journey has brought her from being a stay at home mom, through a difficult divorce, to a life altering decision to leave her home of 25 years and chase her dream of living "at the beach." In 2008 she moved from rural New Hampshire to South Florida. The character "Pug" was created in Key West and developed while her children were young. Pug's calm manner, playful attitude, and insightful wisdom appeals to both adults (for whom it was written) and children (who know a good thing when they see it). Taylor's unique approach to writing has garnered much attention and respect, as well as a legion of devoted followers who speak of being consistently motivated to make positive changes in their own lives after reading her work. ***MORE INFORMATION*** http://www.pugatthebeach.com/index.htm http://iloveauthors.com01:02:00ILoveAuthorsnoI Love Authors,Melissa Lierman,Pug at the Beach,Jackson Dunes,Diana Taylor***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Pug At The Beach It's not about a breed.

Patten***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Stop! You're not raising a child...You're raising a future adult. *Can you see what's wrong with this picture? There's a child where an adult should be. And that's the point.We speak in terms of 'raising children,' but the thought we need to keep 'front and center' is that we're raising future adults.*We interviewed numerous successful adults in search of common themes. We studied their life stories and compared them to biographies of other well-known high-achievers. A pattern emerged. Successful adults share a common background, something we call the Four Foundations of Adult Achievement.*In the parenting book, What Kids Need to Succeed, these principles are illustrated through inspiring stories that help parents think about ways to prepare their own children for a bright future. When you lay the groundwork for these foundations, your children start to develop attitudes and habits shared by successful adults. ***ABOUT THE AUTHOR*** What Kids Need to Succeed: Four Foundations of Adult Achievement was authored by father-daughter team Harry S. Patten and Andrea Patten.*HARRY developed the sales skills that are the foundation for his business by selling Kirby vacuum cleaners door-to-door. Since 1962, this self-made millionaire has become the foremost buyer and seller of rural and recreational land in America. He is a father and a grandfather.*Throughout her life, ANDREA Patten has distinguished herself as a creative problem-solver. In addition to being a Mom, she has spent most of her adult life working in human services, both in the public and private sectors. Her particular area of expertise requires an entrepreneurial mind as she has played a key role in helping organizations bring such innovations as bilingual programming, family treatment and networking for comprehensive client care. ***MORE INFO*** http://www.ILoveAuthors.com and http://www.whatkidsneedtosucceed.com01:04:00ILoveAuthorsnoI Love Authors,Melissa Lierman,What Kids Need to Succeed,Andrea Patten,Harry S Patten***ABOUT THE BOOK*** Stop!

When we get it that we are part of a larger, loving, happy whole, then the weight of the world is seen in a new light. This book can help you realize your deeply loving nature and to practice it always. His new book, “The Seventh Direction”, provides practical tools to help people get in touch with and exercise their inner capacities for happiness, calm and wisdom. Collectively, we have been previously taught that we must either look exclusively outside of ourselves for these or that we must find repeated ways to temporarily avoid the pain and challenge that comes with living.***ABOUT THE AUTHOR*** Carlo Ami - While I do not claim to be a "fully enlightened being", I have been blessed with many teachers and I have found a clear sense of purpose and vision after half a lifetime of fear, frustration, anger, addiction, and self-sabotage. My teachers have taken many forms: Local mentors, great books, Native American/Lakota teachers, the calm and heat of the desert, sound healers, meditative practice, conferences/seminars and the basic joys and challenges of life. Some of the most cathartic realizations/changes I have experienced have come in the silence of meditation. While some might call the clarity felt in these moments as “channeling”, it is my sense that the words and feelings that have come to me do not necessarily have an external source: my truth is that the deepest wisdom comes from within us. We simply are challenged to recognize this source and trust its high value. Having spent so much of the earlier times in my life in what some might call a living hell, my inspiration is to offer ideas and encouragement to others who intend to have a life of more presence, calm, trust and love. I believe that all this is possible, particularly when one builds a sense of value for the wisdom that is within. 01:00:00ILoveAuthorsnoI Love Authors,Melissa Lierman,The Seventh Direction,Carlo Ami,Author Interview***ABOUT THE BOOK***Ultimate power is that knowingness and being an example always of the knowledge that all is fully infused with Love.

Author Dychtwald, a demographer and marketing executive, provides a riveting exploration of female economic emancipation in the 21st century as unprecedented numbers of women all over the world are becoming financially powerful enough to stand on their own and tip global power balances: individually, as their attitudes toward money changes; in the home; in the work place; and in society at large, as gender gaps in health and education in even the poorest nations are narrowing. Dychtwald shows how women are upending the status quo in corporate America through this rapid economic shift and offers a welcome, more micro look with her five money profiles—archetypal ways that modern women relate to their money, how financially self-confident they feel, and what they expect their money to do for them. She provides fascinating glimpses of women from all corners of the globe who are taking advantage of this change, from Uganda to Northern California, and her rousing and well-researched book contains valuable insight into a pivotal movement that holds vast and heartening advancements ***AUTHOR INFO*** MADDY DYCHTWALD is nationally recognized demographer, marketing executive, and entrepreneur.

Her users and readers rely on her grocery lists, weekly meal plans and recipes not just for the healthy dinners themselves but for taking the stress out of dinnertime. She wants families to actually enjoy their dinners together! Now, with SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue, Goldfarb is taking an extra of-the-moment stress away from meal planning for busy families: concern about the environment, about the cost of shipping out-of-season food halfway around the world, about packaging, about additives and preservatives. In SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue, readers will get a full year of weekly meals that: --help readers eat seasonally without missing their favorite foods --move toward a slightly more vegetarian menu for health and a lighter environmental footprint --reveal when organic matters (and when it doesn’t) --save money through easy, efficient planning, bulk buying, freezing and storing, and avoiding waste --pack the power of achievable ethnic meals, such as Easy Cheesy Tex Mex Scramble and Greek Pasta Salad --make grocery trips count *** ABOUT THE AUTHOR *** Aviva Goldfarb is a mother of two and the author and founder of The Six O'Clock Scramble®, www.thescramble.com, an online weekly menu planner and cookbook (St. Martin's Press, 2006), and is author of the new cookbook, “SOS!

If you are committed to having success with the Law of Attraction, then this book is a must read." -Dr. Joe Vitale, Teacher featured in The Secret You can change your life in absolutely monumental ways! The Law of Attraction's concept is simple: good thoughts attract good things into your life and bad thoughts invite negative experiences. Living the Law of Attraction shares over sixty incredible stories from people who are truly living the Law of Attraction. You will notice that those who have applied this law to their everyday lives are experiencing what used to be considered miracles. What was once miraculous is now commonplace ... everyday miracles. Living the Law of Attraction, as the title implies, is about the application of the law. It will show you that anyone, in any situation, regardless of age, gender, economic background, or previous mindset can practice it and experience greater levels of happiness, love, and abundance. Through the power of the inspirational stories included, you will learn to live a life full of love, joy, peace, and prosperity. BOOK #2 - TALKING TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION In the process of writing our book, Living the Law of Attraction, Real Stories of People Manifesting Health, Wealth and Happiness, we talked to many, many people about their personal experiences with the Law of Attraction. We quickly picked up on a common underlying sentiment. “I wish I had learned about this when I was much younger. My life would have been so different!” And, “How can I teach this to my kids so they have this knowledge even from an early age?” ***AUTHORS*** Robin Hoch and Rich German01:00:00ILoveAuthorsnoI Love Authors,Melissa Lierman,Robin Hoch,Rich German,LOA Living the Law of Attraction***ABOUT THE BOOKS*** BOOK #1 - LIVING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION "This powerful book creates a perfect bridge between the teachings of The Secret and the real-lifehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/21/courage-and-croissants-inspiring-joyful-living-by-suzanne-saxe-roux-and-jean-p-rouxBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/21/courage-and-croissants-inspiring-joyful-living-by-suzanne-saxe-roux-and-jean-p-roux/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/21/courage-and-croissants-inspiring-joyful-living-by-suzanne-saxe-roux-and-jean-p-rouxFri, 21 May 2010 01:00:00 GMTCourage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living by Suzanne Saxe-Roux and Jean P. Roux *** ABOUT THE BOOK *** Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook set in San Francisco and the south of France, is a story and life guidebook featuring a dual-career professional couple with a young daughter who took the risk to go in search of what was truly important to them. At its heart is a love of family and the desire for quality of life. This book will inspire you to manifest your dreams and provide immediate actions you can take to create a life of good health, balance and joy. *** ABOUT THE AUTHORS *** Candid and inspiring, Suzanne and Jean- Pierre willingly acknowledge that the American Dream, as they were brought up to believe, has changed and the cost to one’s family, one’s health, and one’s own well-being can only be sustained for a period of time, not for 40 years or more. Along with millions of stressed out, busy professionals, Suzanne and Jean tell a great story and provide a life guidebook that is full of courageous and simple changes that can help us all create the lifestyles we want to live wherever we are. Suzanne and Jean are late baby boomers, highly educated professionals who had a daughter late in life after 17 years of marriage. They have a life many would envy, but it hasn’t helped them live the life they so desire – a perfectly balanced life. What they have learned by living in a small village in the south of France is that there are many simple ways to bring joie de vivre into your daily family life and at the same time some changes require a great deal of courage and patience, but all are possible. 01:00:00ILoveAuthorsnoi love authors,Melissa Lierman,Suzanne Saxe Roux,Jean P Roux,author interview*** ABOUT THE BOOK *** Courage and Croissants, Inspiring Joyful Living, A Story and Life Guidebook set in San Francisco and the south of France, is a story andhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/14/shut-up-and-eat-tales-of-chicken-children-chardonnBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/14/shut-up-and-eat-tales-of-chicken-children-chardonn/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/iloveauthors/2010/05/14/shut-up-and-eat-tales-of-chicken-children-chardonnFri, 14 May 2010 01:00:00 GMTShut Up and Eat: Tales of Chicken, Children & Chardonnay by Kathy BuckworthShut Up and Eat!, humourist and parenting author KATHY BUCKWORTH applies her razor-sharp wit to an examination of the family meal. Experts claim that sitting down to eat together can prevent children from getting into trouble while simultaneously creating close-knit families. In Buckworth’s opinion, that’s an awful lot to expect from a meatloaf! What about the son who thinks his food tastes better on the blue plate with the fish? Or the daughter who won’t eat anything green? And let’s not even talk about the mom who’d rather be doing anything but standing in front of the stove (drinking a glass of wine comes immediately to mind). Laugh-out-loud funny, more accurate than most of us would care to admit—and with a few recipes thrown in for good measure— Shut Up and Eat! is a must-read for any woman who’s ever wondered: What the hell am I cooking tonight?

Washington’s other signature stamp—politics—attracts visitors of a different kind. Power players from around the globe gather in the nation’s capital to make history. But that’s not all there is to the city. Part tour guide, part trivia book, Washington, DC’s Most Wanted™ shows you its ins and outs (and sometimes confusing roundabouts). Included in the book’s many chapters are top-ten lists on homegrown artists, authors, and athletes; historic hotels and bars known for their patrons’ wheelings and dealings; local hauntings and lore; and, of course, memorable scandals that erupted within the originally diamond-shaped district. Native Washingtonians, as many know, are few and far between, but even they will find a treasure trove of entertaining facts inside these pages. ***ABOUT THE AUTHORS*** NORMAN POLMAR is a leading expert on naval and aviation matters.
