Books:

TRASH TALK ( ISBN: 1-4137-2518-X / ISBN-13: 978-1413725186 ) ~ People are constantly bombarded with negative information about the environment and our resources. Feeling powerless because we cannot afford to donate cash or time to a cause, we begin to feel overwhelmed by the immense environmental problems our world faces. In Trash Talk, we focus on changing people's mindset to a more open, hopeful and proactive one. Not by finger-pointing at corporations and governments, but by starting in our own homes, at our own desks. We focus on the reuse of "waste" materials and reducing the consumption of resources. Trash talk is written to empower people to feel more positive about their worth as individuals in a hectic, expensive, environmentally stressed world. We show how to make a real and visible difference, while saving money at the same time. ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------PUBLISHED AUGUST 2004 / AVAILABLE AT ANY ONLINE OR TRADITIONAL BOOKSTORE---------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING ( ISBN: 1-4137-9337-1 / ISBN 13: 978-1413793376 )This book of 120 non-fiction poems is written in chronological order. It is a story of survival, of breaking the chains of inner demons, finding value and purpose in life and growing towards understanding - but not quite reaching it. The poems also embrace the environment and question society. Towards Understanding will reach today's female audience because it is a true story of a young woman growing through childhood trauma, being independent at age 13, moving through healing and finding self worth. Follow the author as she battles her past demons, raises her voice in anger, discovers self-awareness and recovers from and intense relationship bordering on obsession. You will witness the healing, as she becomes aware of the value of her life and falls deeply in love with a wholesome man. Finally, able to see beyond herself she starts to question society and endeavors to understand others. She discovers a love for nature and a dedication to the health of the Earth. As is evident, the author has fun experimenting with different writing styles and altering rhythms with words. Lillian Brummet's award winning poetry has appeared in five hardcover anthology books and several publications throughout North america. She has had the honor of attaining "Editor's Choice Award for outstanding Achievement in Poetry", not once - but twice. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 2005 / AVAILABLE AT ANY ONLINE OR TRADITIONAL BOOKSTORE---------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ PURPLE SNOWFLAKE MARKETING - HOW TO MAKE YOUR BOOK STAND OUT IN A CROWD ~ a reference guide for self-marketing authors who want to their book to be as noticable as a purple snowflake in a snowstorm.
