Our author Liz Bieler talks about leaving corporate life and choosing to follow her passions instead. Now she's a voice actor, a jazz singer, and author of Alice in Condoland, "one of those hard to put down books that cross my path from time to time," says Kevin Cannon in a five-star "must read" Reedsy Discovery review.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of our first book, Lunatic Heroes, by C. Anthony Martignetti. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're excited to announce a giveaway!

On November 20, we'll choose 10 people at random to receive a free copy of Lunatic Heroes, on the condition that once you've read the book, you'll give it away to someone else you think would enjoy it, and tell them the story of how you got it.

Anthony would always be carrying around a pouch filled with silver dollars. He'd occasionally give one out, and tell the recipient that it's for luck, and if they find someone who needs it more than they do, to give it to them, tell Anthony the story, and he'd give them another one.

This is our way of celebrating Anthony, his beloved stories, and his undying legacy.

Please share!

Seasons greetings! We're pleased to announce the sixth book by Teresa Renda Carlson, "The Many Faces of Women."

In this heartfelt tribute to the most inspiring women in her life, Teresa Renda Carlson reveals how one life can be powerfully shaped by the collective influence of others. With the threads of support and positive examples set by the ladies profiled in these pages, Teresa has weaved a life of survival, generosity, beauty, and inspiration to so many others in turn. And through her gratitude for the gifts that each woman has shared with her, Teresa gives us a gift in return. The Many Faces of Women serves as a profound reminder of our interconnectedness, and its power to lift and sustain us no matter what hardships life may inevitably deliver.

Proceeds from sales of this book go to food pantries in Boston and Detroit.

The Many Faces of Women

Teresa Renda Carlson was featured on a CBC documentary called "Four Women" in 1978, to speak openly about her experience with breast cancer, along with three other brave women, at a time when the subject was taboo. Watch the full documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZI_yTm3FD64.

You can read more about Teresa's journey through breast cancer in her first book, "For We Speak of Living," about her incredible life story in the "Oddyssey" trilogy, and about her endless capacity to turn tragedy into beauty in her most recent book, "In My Misfortune, I Am Most Fortunate."

Teresa donates all proceeds from sales of all of her books. https://amzn.to/3rfKLU6

We are pleased to announce the release of Teresa Carlson's FIFTH book! "In My Misfortune, I Am Most Fortunate" is an inspiring account of one woman summoning beauty amid ugliness, art amid chaos, generosity amid human destructiveness, and above all, joy amid the barrage of adversities that life has bombarded her with. In these times of uncertainty, may Teresa's stories of a relentless zest for life despite it all remind us that it is ultimately we who create our own fortune.
(NB: Not a Vietnam Travel Guide, despite being the #1 New Release in that category!)

The author is donating 100% of her royalties to Lawrence O'Donnell and UNICEF's K.I.N.D. Fund to provide desks for children in Malawi. As Teresa says, "I have dedicated my life to teaching kids and adults, and I know the importance of a desk.”
