The Ten Percent Solution is (hope) on track for a publication date in November, though it is taking me some time to wade through the Tax Code. One thing I noticed about all the verbage is how amazingly repetitive it is, enough to twist back on itself with much redundancy. Some things NEED paring down; preferably with a weed whacker. I expect to have the final draft finished by 11/21 at the earliest, though maybe after Thanksgiving might be better. http://www.antellus.com/book/NonFictionBooks.html.

Jennifer,
Memoirs can be self indulgent or they can be ways to open readers' eyes to new ways of doing things. Good description, no matter what the topic, has always inspired me.

Thanks, Joe! I find that memoir is often trivialized in the literary world, but it's no easier to write than fiction.
Sandy, Carolyn, I checked out some of each of your posts, and I thank you for doing what you do.
Theresa, I could probably use your book. This marketing thing is wearing me out!
Talk soon, Jen

Jennifer,
Glad to have you with us. I have written essays, memoir and fiction. I've found you have to be observant in all three. It keeps all sorts of writing fresh and interesting. Keep at it.
Joe

It's really great to meet all of you. I wanted to introduce myself....
I'm a memoirist and essayist, and although I am currently trying a go at fiction, I can't seem to stop writing down what I see, so I think I'm a nonfiction writer at heart. I just published my first book, Musical Chairs, and I help edit the online literary journal Our Stories. I look forward to reading your posts, and chatting with you all. Best, Jen

My website has changed to http://www.antellus.com.
Announcing a new nonfiction book by author Theresa M. Moore:
THE TEN PERCENT SOLUTION: Simplifying the Tax Code in The New Economy
A modest proposal on how to simplify and modernize the Federal tax code with suggested alternatives to the income tax and their applications, along with a simplified version of the Tax Code extracted from IRS publications available today. While Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner struggles with the task of working this out with a goal of December of this year, I will try to beat the deadline based on years of experience in accounting and a serious study of the pitfalls associated with the current tax requirements and loopholes. The books is slated for release in Fall of 2009.

Hi, I am also relatively new to this site but I have been a member of other networks to promote my books. I have 2 written and published so far: PRINCIPLES OF SELF-PUBLISHING: How to Publish and Market A BOOK On a Shoestring Budget (Ikthalion Press), and A BOOK OF FIVE RINGS: A Practical Guide to Strategy by Miyamoto Musashi (Ikthalion Press). I am preparing the notes to write a series of books for my compendium The Mad Scientist's Cookbook, which is about science, the history of science, biographies of various scientists, occult studies, paranormal studies, and recipes for non-harmful chemical and herbal remedies handed down since the beginning of time. Realizing that it may take some time to organize all these features into the master book, I am going to publish a series of monographs which will be integrated into the whole. The first I plan to start with is Alchemy Through The Ages, which is about the history of alchemy and the origins of modern chemistry and science. For more information about any of these book please consult my web site: Ikthalion Press. Thanks for your attention.

Hi, I am new to this site so I wanted to introduce myself. I am a cardiac nurse practitioner - love to read (I wind up reading alot of nursing, medical and health journals - though I also like mysteries and thrillers when I have the time). I have recently started a new venture called Heartstrong, LLC which is a health care education business and will have a book published this December called "Take Charge: A Woman's Guide to a Healthier Heart" - so I am very excited about that. I do have a website www.heart-strong.com that has lots of info on heart health, nutrition, exercise, special kids section (it's a work in progress). Well that's all for now...

I am a breast cancer survivor who also battled liver disease. After my mastectomy, my unhealthy liver prevented any further cancer treatment. I turned to organic foods to heal my liver and fight cancer recurrence. "Organic for Health" is not only that story but a guide to healthy eating, along with recipes to begin.
Check out my website for a great recipe.
