WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT INSPIRE!

I cannot believe how much you have inspired me to write, write, write! I love your book. Your personal stories are amazing!  I have made lists, written outlines and summaries; all because of your book. It is beyond inspiring.   ~Amy Smith, Florida

The book is so fabulous! You did an amazing job on it!  I used 20 Kleenex last night before I could get through the Thanksgiving turkey story!!!!   I have not laughed that much, that long or that loud while reading a book since Erma Bombeck!

                    Thanks Dad

will be on the shelves in April!

My story, First Place, is about my step-father, Charles Diehl, and how he has been there for me when it really counted.

This is the eleventh story I’ve had the pleasure of being published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

For the serious writer it is no longer enough to sit at the keyboard and create. Editors and agents want clients who are highly visible and motivated to promote and sell their work. The best way to accomplish this is by public speaking. The problem? Most of us would rather take a beating than speak into a microphone.

In Connect! A Simple Guide to Public Speaking, I take you step-by-step to becoming a confident and effective speaker. In this book you will:

•Discover ways to find topics.

•Learn how to write and present a speech.

•Develop your speaking style.

•Receive tips and tricks for before, during, and after your speech.

Let me  help you lose your fear of the microphone and Connect!
