Book Review: The World Needs Your Kid | February 2, 2010

Book Review: The World Needs Your Kid

In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings. ~ Ann Landers

Book Giveaway: The SuperStress Solution | December 31, 2009

Book Giveaway: The SuperStress Solution

The SuperStress Solution
By Roberta Lee M.D.

We manage (or at least we think we do) with less sleep, less exercise, and more work, eating junk and processed foods on the run, fueling up with caffeine and sugar. Toss in 24/7 news and addictive devices that give us “screen sickness,” and is it any wonder that anxious is the new normal?

Our bodies have been hardwired to cope with stress since prehistoric times, but we are biologically ill-equipped to handle the kind of stress that accumulates in our lives today.

Book Giveaway: Twists on Jane Austen Classics

Jane is my Co-Pilot: The Fine Art of Making Sense and Sensibility Totally Ridiculous
By Ben H. Winters,
Co-author of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

Since writing Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, I’ve gotten a ton of feedback about how nice it is that I’ve made Jane Austen appealing to certain readers — meaning readers who previously suffered a persistent allergy to The Classics. I am complimented for taking the prim and decorous Jane Austen and making her, A) really violent, and B) really funny.

The first compliment I will gladly accept. Over the decades since Sense and Sensibility first … Read More »
