The Strand by Madi Preda
"If you are looking for a book that will sit with you for weeks, this is it. The Strand by Madi Preda is not a fast read and not a comfortable one, but it is the kind of story that makes you think about how much harm can be done quietly through policy" Read more of this review »

"I did not expect this book to affect me as deeply as it did. The Strand by Madi Preda is a quiet, devastating read that builds its emotional impact through restraint rather than drama. The story opens with Maire being permitted to hold her newborn fo" Read more of this review »

"The Strand is one of those novels that settles inside you long after the final page. Madi Preda writes with a precision that is almost clinical, yet the emotional undercurrent never wavers. At the heart of the story is Maire, a young woman on the Iri" Read more of this review »

“Writing a book without promoting it is like waving to someone in a dark room. You know what have you done but nobody else does.”
~Madi Preda”
Madi Preda, How To Promote and Market Your Book

“You can write the most wonderful book in the world. But if people don’t know about your book they won’t know to buy it.”
Madi Preda, How To Promote and Market Your Book

“You don’t stop the watch when you are afraid of getting old, so don’t cut off advertising when you want to save money.”
~Madi Preda”
Madi Preda, How To Promote and Market Your Book

“We all need each other, that's what makes it work”
Brian E. Miller, Shambhala

“If you have no story you have nothing to live up to, and every day is like a renewal”
Brian E. Miller, Shambhala

“It's OK to feel sad, cry, be who you are. If you are happy smile. If you are sad, cry. This is the beauty of life. Allow yourself to feel it”
Brian E. Miller, Shambhala

“Give the children love, more love and still more love – and the common sense will come by itself.”
Astrid Lindgren

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
