Hello and welcome, today we're joined by author Lolli Powell, to celebrate the ebook launch of "The Body on the Barstool," a cozy mystery.SynopsisNew Yorker Erica "Ricki" Fontaine's n'er-do-well uncle has dropped dead and left her a dive bar in a small Ohio River town. With a lousy apartment, less than-promising job prospects, and even worse romantic ones, the inheritance comes at just the right time. Ricki packs up her cat and her belongings and heads for the Buckeye State. Now she's trying to change the Top Shelf from a bar known for its Friday night fights into the kind of drinking establishment where you can bring your granny. But finding her ex-husband dead on a bar stool at opening time one morning just might put a kink in those plans.About Lolli PowellI write mysteries/thrillers under the name Laurel Heidtman and romances/cozy mysteries under the name Lolli Powell. I live with my husband, four dogs and two cats on private land surrounded by Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. Over the years, I've paid the bills by being a dancer, a bartender, a police officer, a registered nurse and a technical writer. (I always say I could never figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up!) I draw on that life experience and my two English degrees to create stories that I enjoy writing and hope readers will enjoy reading.Where to buy The Body on the Barstoolhttps://www.amazon.com/Lolli-Powell/e/B00TM9IJFICongratulations Lolli!​I’m honored to be a part of your "The Body on the Barstool" launch team and wish both you and the book every success!

All Men are Dogs Synopsis“I love you.” “He loves me.” “I’m in love with you.” “We fell in love.” “I’m in Respect with you.” I’m in Respect with you? Of course, you will never directly hear, “I’m in respect with you,” coming from a man. But those are the words that you need to hear. Those are the words you need to see. Those are the words that should make your heart go pitter-patter. Not “I love you.” “I love you” has a lot of meanings, but many women long to hear that from a man. Those that have heard it usually hear it mostly in the early stages of the relationship, and the words fade away or get lost during the term of the relationship. Many movies and television sitcoms, portray men as afraid to say “I love you,” but women in the real world hear those words so much that it’s hard to determine if a guy really means it or not. All Men ARE Dogs YOU Are the Dog Trainer, explains from a real man’s perspective on how women are the true head of a relationship and how to train him to fall “in respect” with you.About Rick FortSingle life, married life, divorced life and even remarried life, this author has filled each of those shoes. Since the age of 13, author Rick Fort came to realize that many would come to him just to talk about their problems. Something about him triggered many to confide in him, ask for advice or just be someone to vent to. Being a song writer that wrote his first song at age 8, he started putting his thoughts to music in the form of love songs. Through the years he continued writing music and the requests for advice continued. Eventually, during the 90’s he started a website focused on “how men think” as well as articles on “from a man’s perspective.” Upon receiving many rave responses from readers, Mr. Fort began to sum up much of his advice for women in a book, All Men ARE Dogs, YOU are the Dog Trainer.Websitehttp://allmenaredogsbook.com/Twitterhttp://twitter.com/menaredogsbookWhere To Buy bookhttps://www.amazon.com/All-Men-ARE-Dogs-Trainer/dp/1535600942Rick's All Men are Dogs GiveawayRick is running a giveaway on Goodreads.  Enter for your chance to win 1 of 10 signed paperback copies including 1 bookmark of All Men Are Dogs YOU Are the Dog Trainer.https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15936149.Rick_FortCongratulations RickI'm honored to be a part of the launch team for All Men are Dogs and wish both you and the book every success

Alan the Alien SynopsisAlan the Alien goes to the zoo to see some of his favorite animals, but his day does not go according to plan. This is a book for adults to enjoy while they read to their children.About Martin BrownI love writing, pure and simple. I write first for myseIf, but, having completed an article, story, poem or book,  if I find that other people are also entertained by it, imagine my sense of happiness.When I am writing I try to make people think about topics, some serious and some not so serious, a mix of humour, social observation, political opinions. I try to write in a way that is both amusing and, in some way thought provoking, useful or educational. My readers have often told me that they really enjoy how I challenge their ideas about life.My bilingual books can be a great aid to both adults and children who want to practice and improve their English or Spanish language skills and who want to, at the same time, smile about the world. My children’s books, some of which are bilingual, are presented in an illustrative and didactic way and are a fantastic learning joy for the little ones.There are so many reasons why I choose to self-publish my books, instead of trying to find a publisher. The main reason is that I want the freedom to publish what my readers like and what I want, not have to conform to someone else’s ideas about how my thoughts should be presented. With self-publishing, I have total control over content, style, illustrations, covers and much more.I am a very happy, positive person. When I see a problem that I can help with, I make myself available. I co-founded a charity in Uganda, Infancia Uganda, three years ago to help and support children and women in a village there. I try to talk to people and to offer advice based on years of life experience. I am about to start a course in hypnotherapy so that I can help people with more serious problems, like anxiety.My hobbies are observing people, sport, music, travel and music, a lot of music.Website:http://martinbrownwriter.com Twitter:http://twitter.com/MartinBWriterWhere To Buy Alan the Alien http://www.martinnbrown.com/product/alan-childrens-poetry/Congratulations MartinI'm honored to be part of the launch team for Alan the Alien, and wish both you and the book every success.

Feeling a sense of hope, she has an intuition that he will be a beloved soul she knew in a past life.

His life purpose is to share wisdom from the spirit world with others, to help them live their lives with less suffering. However, as the result of an unexpected event, he disconnects from the spirit world, and without access to that unique knowledge he was born with, he finds himself at the mercy of his own heartbreaking struggles.

It speaks the language of the soul and reminds us to embrace all of our life experiences—the everyday routine, the miraculously mesmerizing, and the rip-your-heart-out tragic moments—as equally meaningful.About Beverly KnauerI grew up with my mom, dad, brother, and two sisters, in Needham, Massachusetts, then Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Other than spending hours playing in the wooded forest behind our house, what I remember the most from my early years is my desire to write; I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was ten years old, when my mother bought me the bookSal Fisher at Girl Scout Camp. I promptly began my own novel, with lined paper and fountain pen in hand, and called itBeverly Knauer at Girl Scout Camp. Okay … not very original. My next book, written at age twelve, was calledMy Life with the Indians.After I received my bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I moved to sunny San Diego, California, where I served in the role of Chief of Rehabilitation Services for the County of San Diego, working with other occupational and physical therapists who provide therapy to children with special needs. I received my master’s degree from San Diego State University.When not writing, I enjoy wine tasting in the quaint city of Temecula, going barefoot whenever I can, spending too many hours on Pinterest, and indulging in chips, guacamole, and margaritas (frozen, with salt on the rim) while catching up with friends. I like long walks with my pal, Jack—a black Lab—along the seashore, where the crashing waves of the pummeling surf absorb the sounds of the city, providing a means of restoration and introspection, while we scavenge among the seaweed for shells for my collection. My newest passion is crocheting dog sweaters for lonely, abandoned dogs at the animal shelter.I’ve always loved exploring esoteric wisdom and chose to become a writer to communicate transformative life experiences in the form of visionary fiction.The Line Betweenis my debut work.
