Description

<p>Do angels, ghosts and demons really exist, or are they a figment of our over active imagination? Can ghosts, demons and spirits harm you? If you don't believe in them they can't bother you right? How can you protect yourself against the paranormal? Do we live once and it's all over or do we come back time and again to live new lives? In this book, you will gain information about the paranormal from a psychic-mediums perspective. As a psychic medium I have gathered a lot of information about the other side. The book covers over more than 40 years of paranormal related information interspersed with my own personal paranormal encounters. Anyone who is interested in the paranormal including ghosts, demons, orbs and hauntings will enjoy the many topics covered in this book. Those interested in spiritualism, new age topics and metaphysics will find many of the chapters such as past lives, possession and death and the soul connection. People who are experiencing their own paranormal occurrences such as hauntings and spirit attachments will find help and information to help them. People of all ages, walks of life and many religions will find something of interest in the book. Even those who do not believe in the paranormal will enjoy many of the thought provoking topics covered in this book.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I had a few reasons for writing these ebooks. First, I have a lot of experience in writing and publishing. I’m not an expert, but I do have experience. I belong to a few writers groups and I’ve seen first-hand the confusion and erroneous information that exists about self-publishing. The same situation exists when it comes to marketing the self-publishing book, but to a much greater degree. Hence, there is a need for series of books on these topics. I’ve attempted to provide an orderly, easy to follow process that smooths the path to a successful book launch and a profitable marketing plan. A second reason for writing these books comes from my experiences in running into scam artists who try to rip off inexperienced authors. I’ve lost money on a few occasions. Hence, I have taken on a challenge to protect writers from the Internet thieves who prey on new authors. My method of protecting these writers is to arm them with facts. I’ve learned that the more authors know about the dual processes of self-publishing and self-marketing, the less likely they are to fall for the ingenious schemes of the scam artists.

As a beginning indie writer, I found the information to be incredibly valuable. Quense not only takes you step-by-step through the marketing process, he also gives good advice about marketing so that you are not needlessly throwing your money away. This book also makes you think about your book as a product. Being a writer, I never really considered that what I’m doing is creating a product to sell and developing a brand. Building a strategy is paramount to being a successful writer. Marketing Plans for Self-Publish Books answered many of the questions I had about marketing my work.</span></p>
