A Book to Help Spiritual Seekers to Understand End Times

Metaphysical author, Yvonne Perry releases a book to help mystical seekers manage symptoms of rapid spiritual growth and understand the end of the Piscean Age.

After more than a year of success with her groundbreaking and best-selling book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You (http://whosestuffisthis.com), Yvonne Perry is releasing a follow-up book to help those who are experiencing physical and emotional symptoms during the current planetary awakening as we enter the Age of Aquarius.

If you have been experiencing strange body sensations, headaches, fatigue, depression, panic/anxiety attacks, hot flashes, increased emotional responses, or have noticed that your psychic abilities are opening up, you may be one of the millions of people who are spiritually growing faster than your physical body can tolerate. What you are experiencing is a normal response to spiritual changes. These are known as ascension symptoms, which also include changes in careers, sleep patterns, and dietary preferences.

In this time of social, economic, and political unrest many people are in crisis, strapped with fear, and stressed to the limit. Some have lost jobs and financial security; there’s an upheaval in government systems worldwide; the global economy could topple in a heartbeat; the religious institutions we once looked to for guidance are wrought with deceit; our youth are rioting; health issues are escalating; and relationships are failing. Why does our world seem to be going crazy? Is this the prophesied end of time?

Undoubtedly, we are living in a crucial time in world and cosmic history. Perry’s book explains what is going on in the universe, our planet, and with ourselves as we are encountering a vibrational increase, which is creating tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, global warming, and volcanic activity throughout the Earth. Addressing many end-time prophecies, Perry concludes that the next phase of human development depends upon what is held in our individual and collective minds; for it is there that we co-create our reality.

“Everything is being shaken from within,” says Yvonne Perry, the author of a new book titled Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience. “It may feel or look bad during the process, but patriarchal world systems and our old way of thinking are breaking down in order for us to create something new. A lot of what we are experiencing is our unresolved personal issues and cellular memory being pushed up and out as the ‘separation mindset’ comes to the surface to be healed.”

“Shifting into Purer Consciousness is astonishing in its breadth and depth of knowledge in what it means to be a spirit being in human form at this particular time,” says Steve Brannon, an interfaith spiritual minister. “Never will we find as truthful and candid a discussion of the human condition and ascension consciousness. One must admire the freedom with which the myriad of spiritual experiences and paths to a purer consciousness are described. Within these pages, we discover vital guidance to help us in finding our way. For religions fail us but God provides our spiritual food in grace and abundance.” Brannon is the author of The Two Agreements: A Good News Story for Our Time.

Yvonne’s book will be launched with a virtual tour in June. You are cordially invited to come along with the author as she posts audio/video clips, written and recorded interviews, book excerpts, and content-rich articles on more than twenty blogs. The virtual tour will be followed by an ascension training telesummit in July 2012. Topics to be addressed in this telesummit include global awakening, oneness, near-death and spiritually-transforming experiences, walk-ins/soul exchanges, working with angels and ascended masters, immortality, DNA restructuring, the light body, merkabah, integrating cosmic frequencies, and managing ascension symptoms. See http://integratingfrequencies.blogspot.com/p/ascension-training-telesummit.html for details about the tour and training sessions.

Top 8 Tactics to Power Your Online Book Launch

By Joel Friedlander

Okay, you’ve finished your book, filled out all your book metadata, and gone through the publishing process. Soon, your book will become available for sale online. For many authors, this is a critical time in the lives of their books.

Why? When your book is new, it’s the natural time to do a book launch. In fact, it’s possible to re-launch a book any time there’s a reason to do so, but the vast majority of book launches are, appropriately enough, at the time of initial publication.

The idea of a book launch is to turn the publication of the book into an event. Events, by their nature, draw more attention from the public. Your event is one-time-only, happening live, and the more ways you can attract attention during the launch period, the more eyeballs you will attract to your book (and your other books, if you have related books in print already).

Let’s look at the elements that can go into a book launch. You won’t be doing all these things, so don’t immediately become overwhelmed. Think of this more as a menu of options you can choose from.

8 Ways to Make Your Book Launch Take Off

First, decide whether you want to run all of your activities on a single day, over the course of a week, or extending to a longer time period. Any of these options is workable, and I encourage you to spread them out if your time is already at a premium. Remember that you’re in charge, so you get to decide the exact parameters of your book launch. Here are some things you might include in your book launch:

1.     Media Kit – This is essential. It’s the established way for you to get your information to book reviewers, media contacts and other bloggers. I won’t go through the whole media kit here, but it should include your book launch media release (see below for more information), photo of your book cover, photo of the author, marketing information, sample interviews, and a concise cover letter.

2.     Guest Posts – One of the best ways to bring your message to new groups of readers is by offering to write guest articles for other bloggers. This can be done as part of a blog tour or on its own. In any case, by introducing yourself and your subject to new networks of readers, your book will get more of a boost at its launch.

3.     Book Trailer – Short videos that act like movie trailers for your book have become more and more popular in the last couple of years. Some books seem to lend themselves to this treatment more than others, and some of the most effective I’ve seen are for fiction, like thrillers and romances.

4.     Media Contacts – One way to help your book get off to a good start is to get the attention of the media. This might be through an interview with the local newspaper or radio station about your book, or it might be articles you submit to magazines or online periodicals in your niche. Developing a list of media contacts who are interested or who have reported in the past about your topic will be very useful for this effort.

5.     Book Reviewers – Planning your review campaign well in advance will allow both print and online reviewers plenty of time to prepare a review about your book. Although we can’t dictate the schedule on which these reviews are released, let reviewers know when the launch will be happening and other events scheduled for the time period of the launch. For more on getting online reviews, see .

6.     Contests & Giveaways – One of the techniques that’s been used to good effect by lots of authors is to give away a set number of books during the launch period. These may be offered by lottery, for leaving comments on your blog, for posting Tweets about the book launch, or any other way you can dream up to attract people’s interest. Free anything is still a powerful pull for lots of people, and getting your book into as many people’s hands as possible is the aim of your launch, so get creative here.

7.     Blog Tour – A blog tour organizes the guest posts, giveaways and blogger networking into a formal schedule during your launch period. Setting up guest appearances on blogs, which allows the bloggers to introduce you to their readers, is a terrific way to grow your own reader community and enhance your relationship with lots of bloggers in your niche. You can promote your tour schedule on your own blog and through social media to create some excitement for all the events you’ve planned.

8.     Media Release – Although your media release is an integral part of the Media Kit I mentioned at the beginning, it’s really a key piece of your book launch as well. Why? A well-written and targeted media release will bring together all the best reasons people should be interested in your book, your subject, you and your book launch. And if your book legitimately addresses more than one audience, take your basic media release and re-write the headline and first paragraph to highlight the connection to other groups.

Taken together, putting together a book launch can be a lot of work. But there are a lot of tangible and intangible benefits you get from going through all this trouble. And while our basic aim is to sell books, if you’re in this for the long haul, you’ll recognize that these benefits will repay your efforts in many ways. For instance, by going through the launch, you can:

§  Create better relations with other bloggers in your field

§  Better understand your readers and why they respond to you

§  Explore aspects of your subject that might be of interest to different groups of readers

§  Learn which approaches work best in driving traffic, and interest, about your book.

Running a book launch can be a demanding, exhausting and exciting adventure. You’ll learn a lot, and you’ll be able to use that learning for your next book. So give it a try.

The Virtual Blog Tour for My Book, Whose Stuff Is This?: Finding Freedom from the Negative Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, is Complete!

My virtual blog tour for my book, Whose Stuff Is This?: Finding Freedom from the Negative Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, is complete. Here are the stops from the final week.

Monday, March 21 - Reno Lovison Marketing Communications Services presented an article titled “Authors Must Learn to Sell What They Write.” I shared some of the mistakes I made in promoting my first two books and gave some tips on what to do to ensure the successful launch of your book. See Business Card to Business Blog: http://businesscardtobusiness.com/.

Tuesday, March 22 - Anne Lyken-Garner has a media release about the many ways that we are connected: the air we breathe, our basic needs and physiology, and energetically/spiritually. No one feels the power of this connection more than the energy-sensitive people, who unknowingly pick up on the detrimental thoughts, feelings, and even the illnesses of others and their environment. Read more on Anne’s blog: http://www.abloggersbooks.com/

Wednesday, March 23 - Being empathic is not a burden you must bear anymore. You can learn to shut out unwanted energy and keep others from violating your personal boundaries. First, you have to set boundaries. Dr. Caron Goode, who wrote the foreword for the book, presented a book excerpt on her blog, Kids Who See Ghosts: http://kidswhoseeghosts.com/.

Thursday, March 24 - Faith Ranoli interviewed me on Heart and Home Radio Show about how as an intercessor, I picked up the illnesses and emotional pain of those I prayed for. Everyone is intuitive and has the small, still voice inside if we will just listen, but not everyone is empathic. Some are too empathic and allow compassion to go too far. Ranoli said of my book, “ Designed especially for empaths, this book teaches healthful living, good spiritual practices, and gives helpful tips for living a safe and energetically balanced life.” Listen to the interview at http://healthylife.net/RadioShow/archiveHH.htm.

Friday, March 25 - Vonnie Faroqui shared an article titled “Being Non-Resistant Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry.” Being non-resistant is the embodiment of the often misunderstood feat of “turning the other cheek.” We’ve often thought that phrase meant that it is honorable to let people walk all over us. Turning the other cheek actually means standing in your place of power and letting things flow through you without getting stuck. Read more on Ink Slinger's Whimsey: http://inkslingerswhimsey.blogspot.com/

Monday, March 28 - Dr. Caron Goode shared an excerpt from my book. See Raising Intuitive Children blog: http://raisingintuitivechildren.com/. Caron and I believe this book will benefit many people and help get them moving toward better health and emotional balance. Bulk orders (10 or more) of this title are available at a discount to bookstores, counselors, and retailers who wish to offer the book to clients or resale the book. Contact us for the discount code.

I am very thankful for all of you and the support you provided to help me launch my book. I’m very impressed with everyone who participated. The tour went smoothly without a glitch; everyone posted the material we sent you on time, and we had some great comments from your readers. I hope you enjoyed being part of this networking activity and found it beneficial.

Gratefully Yours,

WITS Welcomes the UNFEAR virtual tour author Karlin Sloan!

March 6, 2011, A Successful Woman blog at hosted an article called "Defining Success." If you haven’t visited the article there a trip back to yesterday is worth the click.  Today, Writers In The Sky has a question and answer written interview with author, CEO, entrepreneur and executive coach, Karlin Sloan.

Karlin Sloan

WITS Question and Answer Interview with Karlin Sloan, author of, UNFEAR Facing Change In an Era of Uncertainty.

Host Vonnie Faroqui:  Welcome to Writers in the Sky Karlin. It has been a pleasure to read your book and to organize this virtual tour for you.  I have to say that the content of your book is especially timely and relevant.  Can you share with us the inspiration behind the premise of your new book Unfear: Facing Change in an Era of Uncertainty?

Karlin:  I have been inspired by our clients – people who work in senior level leadership roles in companies all over the world. They are coping with what seems like greater and greater levels of stress, fear, and complexity, and I realized that they need simple, clear practices to help them navigate in a very different business environment than we’ve had in the past.

Vonnie:  What would you say were the three greatest challenges for corporate leadership in America today?

Karlin:  I’d say #1 is that we are a deeply interconnected global economy, and that creates enormous complexity. Our decisions have a ripple effect, and we need to understand that ripple effect.  #2 is the pace of change. When we face change that is so rapid, it’s hard to act from a stable, grounded position. It’s impossible to have all of the data and to understand all of the moving parts. Leaders need to engage their intuition and their courage in order to thrive during times of great ambiguity. #3, and this is the one I think is most prevalent at every level of organizations right now – is that people are operating in a state of fear. Fear shuts down our “executive functioning” in the brain, and causes us to react out of defensiveness. We go into fight, flight, and flee behaviors that are not useful unless we are in physical danger. That fear is creating havoc in collaborative relationships, in strategic thinking, in decision-making.  If there’s one thing we need right now it is simply to operate from a more effective state of being.

Vonnie:  Are these challenges shared by your international clients or do they face a different set of challenges?

Karlin:  The fear in the US is palpable right now, but the pace of change is the same, sometimes even greater in our client organizations in Asia in particular. But really these challenges are faced by everyone to a greater or lesser degree. We are all operating in an interconnected, complex business environment and we all need UNFEAR.

Vonnie:  Does the word or rather concept of UNFEAR represent a shift in leadership thinking and strategies from the days when leaders actively used fear based tactics to manipulate their workforce?

Karlin: Absolutely we have shifted in what works in leading in a business environment. Our organizations are more matrixed, power is no longer centralized, and authoritarian leadership just doesn’t fly with our up and coming employee base.  However, UNFEAR is really about something we’ve always needed – confidence that things will work out in the end. My definition of UNFEAR is “confidence in one’s ability to overcome the odds, and to create a positive outcome no matter what the circumstance”. We know that we shut down and become defensive and instinctive when we operate from fear – and it’s time to start operating from confidence in our own resilience. We can get through this, we can learn, and we can grow.

Vonnie:  Why do you think the message of your book, Unfear, is so important?

Karlin:  I am a believer in our human capacity for innovation and creativity. If we can dream it, we can create it. If we focus on what’s wrong and defend against it, we may be sabotaging our ability to envision a positive future and work towards it.  We are facing a lot of drastic change on our planet; from rapid resource depletion and rapid climate change to the proliferation of instant information on the internet – these are challenges that we need to face head-on, with confidence and with enthusiasm for what is possible.

This interview continues tomorrow, March 8, 2011, when the UNFEAR tour visit's Ink Slinger's Whimsey's author promotions blog. Don't miss the second half of this written question and answer interview as Vonnie and Karlin go even deeper into UNFEAR.

Leadership Development Expert Karlin Sloan Celebrates Book with Virtual Tour

Business Leader Releases 

UNFEAR –Facing Change in an Era of Uncertainty

Chicago, IL March, 2011, — UNFEAR - Facing Change in an Era of Uncertainty (ISBN: 9781452885858,) had its official book launch on January 20, 2011. The book’s release is being followed by a virtual book tour on the Internet,  launched on March 1, 2011, from Karlin Sloan's Success TV blog with a discussion provoking article about future shock and facing change in an era of uncertainty.

March 2, 2011, the UNFEAR Tour moves on its way to the Internet site of ASuccessfulWoman.com with an article about "Three Steps to Being Complaint Free"

The UNFEAR Tour will be visiting Writer's In The Sky on March 7, 2011, with a written question and answer interview and again on March 11, 2011, with an introductory video about the book, UNFEAR Facing Change In an Era of Uncertainty.


This book and the UNFEAR virtual tour have come at a time when people across the U.S. live in fear of unemployment, the unpredictable economy, the threat of terrorism, and political unrest in the middle east that has a global scale impact.  Author, CEO, and leadership development expert Karlin Sloan addresses how to combat these worries in UNFEAR: Facing Change in an Era of Uncertainty.


As a consultant and executive coach, Sloan speaks with powerful corporate leaders every day and, over the years, has seen that many of the people she works with are living with stress and ambiguity.  Managing from a fear-based state affects an individual personally, which can lead to consequences that impede a work team and, in turn, the larger organization. The book inspires readers to make decisions out of hope and purpose, rather than out of fear.

"Many of the assertive, intelligent people I come into contact with are letting fear cripple their decision-making skills," says Sloan. "I wanted to write a book that provides them with useful tools to reduce fear-based behaviors, to inspire performance, and to align their team or greater organization around a larger purpose." 

Using examples from business leaders, including P&G, Walmart, Yahoo!, and LG Electronics, Sloan offers clear, effective, and practical strategies that enhance teamwork and leadership effectiveness regardless of economic uncertainty.

 I just finished my first reading of UNFEAR and I'm deeply moved.  Karlin has done an amazing job of weaving and synthesizing important ideas and concepts in ways that support looking at ourselves, our organizations and our world in fresh, creative ways. UNFEAR is an inspiring and practical guide to facing our fears and taking on creating a world that we want to live in. - Marc Lesser, author of LESS: Accomplishing More by Doing Less

Karlin Sloan’s UNFEAR virtual tour will travel the Internet offering question-and-answer written and radio interviews with the author, blog articles, reviews, book excerpts, and more.  Each tour stop will explore the concept of UNFEAR, and the four practices taught by Karlin Sloan & Company to executive leaders around the world.  The Karlin Sloan virtual tour for UNFEAR is being produced by Ink Slinger's Whimsey and Writers in the Sky. Visit http://bit.ly/unfearvirtualtour  for further information and a tour schedule.

Karlin Sloan is the founder and CEO of Karlin Sloan & Company, a leadership development firm providing development consultation for national and multinational organizations seeking to advance through enhanced training and executive coaching.  Karlin holds a BA from Mills College, an MA in clinical psychology from the Professional School of Psychology in San Francisco, and executive coach certification through the William James Institute Center for Executive Coaching.

Virtual Book Tour to Teach Highly-sensitive People How to Avoid Being Detrimentally Affected by Energy Overload

Yvonne Perry’s book, WHOSE STUFF IS THIS? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, launches with a virtual book tour during the month of March.

Anywhere there is a crowd of people, there is abundant energy, both positive and negative. Those who assist with victim protection, do police or detective work, have served in war zones, operate as healers, clergy members, or psychics, have careers at hospitals, clinics, or hospice centers deal with an overload of emotional energy. Many of them feel depleted, overwhelmed, nervous, depressed, or angry; they may feel as though someone is watching or following them; they may hear voices, see shadows, or have a difficult time finding mental or emotional peace. Many of these individuals know that something is not quite “normal” since not everyone is adversely affected by going into public and not everyone picks up on the thoughts, feelings, or pain of those around them to such a degree. They may not know they are carrying or attaching to someone else’s energy, but would love to stop the emotional, physical, and mental turmoil they encounter on a regular basis.

For those who experience this type of intuitive or empathic fatigue, Yvonne Perry’s book, WHOSE STUFF IS THIS?, provides spiritual exercises and information to help sensitive people distinguish their personal energy from that of another person; clear their energy field; raise their vibration; shield themselves from detrimental energy; and find relief from emotional storms and empathic fatigue.

“Being a well-developed empathic or intuitive person does not mean you have to stop showing compassion. Quite the contrary,” writes Nashville author Yvonne Perry in her new book. “But an empath must begin to care for their own needs before they can learn to use their intuitive ability as a tool for guidance without paying a personal price.”

With a foreword and a chapter contributed by psychotherapist, Dr. Caron B. Goode, ED.D., NCC, DAPA, this book provides a fresh perspective on the psychological aspect of empathy and intuition.

“Some of the characteristics that empaths display can also be diagnosed as ADD, agoraphobia, bipolar disorder, or clinical depression,” says Dr. Goode. “Most doctors and counselors are not aware that empathy fatigue exists, much less how to treat it, but this intuitive overload is a very real problem to energy-sensitive people.” Caron is the author of The Art & Science of Coaching Parents, Raising Intuitive Children, and Kids Who See Ghosts - Guide Them Through Their Fears.

Every sensitive person, regardless of how they come to interact with negative energy, could benefit from your book and learning how to detach and screen out the emotions and pain of others while remaining compassionate and effective as a healer or friend, mother, or coworker.” says Denise Demaras, an artist and holistic spiritual health counselor, who endorses the book. “So many people don't understand how or even notice the effect that others have on their moods or health. Suddenly they are mean and cranky, sad or sick, every time they are in the company of a certain person.”

From February 28 through March 28, Yvonne plans to be a guest on more than twenty blogs where she will post helpful material. From how and why she wrote and published the book, to informative articles on empathy, intuition, spiritual/psychic gifts, and exercises to help energy-sensitive people clear and protect their auric fields, all visitors will read something new each day as they follow the tour from blog to blog. Audio clips, YouTube videos, written interviews, radio interviews, book excerpts, and media releases are also planned in the lineup. Yvonne will be available at each blog for readers to ask questions. See the tour schedule at http://tinyurl.com/EmpathTour.

Yvonne is a graduate of American Institute of Holistic Theology where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Metaphysics. For forty years she was enmeshed with the dogma of religion that her family and church leaders passed down to her. Before she had a label for her empathetic ability, she called herself a prayer warrior. While praying for others she took on their suffering until it severely challenged her emotional and physical well-being. Embracing a different path and belief system, she now openly uses the gift of empathy to help others heal their lives. See her full bio at http://weare1inspirit.com .

Hello WITS community! I have completed the manuscript for my upcoming book about being an empath. Next, is the editing and proofreading stage, but it's also time to start my marketing efforts.

Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom From the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You is a guidebook for empathic people who have been unknowingly carrying energetic burdens that belong to someone else.

Are your coworkers like psychic vampires who leech off your energy?

Do you have mysterious illnesses, aches, and pains?

Are you depressed or angry for no good reason?

Do some friends and family members make you feel drained?

Are you super sensitive to the negativity around you?

You may be an empath picking up on the thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and even the illnesses of others.

This book, written by Yvonne Perry with Dr. Caron B. Goode, provides . . .

* Tips to distinguish your personal energy from another person’s
* Practices for clearing your energy field and raising your own vibration
* Ways to shield yourself from the detrimental energy of others

21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes

Writers in the Sky welcomes Cherie Burbach to our blog today. Cherie is an author, blogger, poet, crocheter, and geek. She loves football and is obsessed with anything having to do with the Green Bay Packers or Tudor history.

A passionate diabetes advocate, Cherie has written the book, 21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes.

Cherie used her experience with meeting her husband online to pen At the Coffee Shop, a humorous look at the world of Internet dating. Cherie went on over 60 coffee dates in just six months. She met lots of great people and one of those turned out to be the guy she would marry just one year later. Cherie's new dating book, Internet Dating is Not Like Ordering a Pizza is available now.

She has penned her first novel, For Those Who Knew Zach, told in connected short stories about of a philandering charmer's collision with fate.

She is a staff writer for b5media, and also the author of three poetry books, including A New Dish and The Difference Now. Her latest, Father's Eyes, has received the 2008 Editor's Choice Award by Allbooks Review.

Readers have resonated with Cherie's honest and inspirational "This I Believe" essay, which is the second-most popular out of over 40,000 entries on the NPR website.

On Writing 21 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Someone With Diabetes:

Sometimes books come about from an experience where you think, "I wish people knew about X." X, in my case, was diabetes. I've been a Type 1 diabetic for about twenty years, and throughout my time with this disease I've learned a few things I just wish people knew. Over and over I found myself correcting the good folks in my life who commented on the food on my plate, or told me diabetes was cured because I took insulin, or even served me sugar soda when I went over to their house. These weren't huge things, but they happened often enough (and were simple enough) where I felt a short little etiquette-type book on diabetes might help.

One thing I didn't want to do was write a big, lengthy, technical book. I couldn't do that anyways! But I could write a book that would prompt people to understand their diabetic friend or family member just a little bit better. You know how sometimes you just don't know what you don't know? This book helps you understand what you need to know, so you can do the homework to find out more.

Best of all, it isn't a heavy, boring read. It's short by design, and conversation. It's like me pulling someone aside and saying, "Hey… psst, next time you should really do this." This was one of the challenges in writing it. You know that old quote, "If I had more time I would write a shorter letter?" That spirit was definitely at the forefront of my mind when writing this book. I edited it down so it would be something that anyone could breeze through. It is my hope that diabetics and non-diabetics alike use it to understand each other a little better.

Description for 21 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Someone With Diabetes:

Why should non-diabetics get informed? Because as much as we know about diabetes treatment today, the support from our family and friends still plays a part in how healthy we are. An understanding approach from someone who cares means everything to us. Your diabetic friend or relative counts on you to be the person in their life that "gets it" when no one else does. This book will tell you what you can do to help. Things like what you should (and shouldn't) say, what you should learn to truly be supportive, and even how you can help in the fight for a cure. 21 Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes will point you in the right direction so you can truly support your diabetic friend.
