A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you!

As you sit down and plan your travel schedule for 2012, please consider joining our many book festivals. April and May will bring about events in the suburbs of Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Nashville, TN. Our festivals are held inside the common areas of shopping malls which ensures high traffic and zero possibility of rain. We feature local and national celebrities to read and share stories about their books and writings. We also have free professional development workshops for our attendees and authors. Our events are free to the public and often bring out librarians, student field trips and general book lovers, who are searching for that next purchase.

Authors may choose to reserve tables for one, two or three days Friday through Sunday. Single day tables start at only $90. Participants are allowed time on one of many stages to speak to buyers about their book(s) and encourage purchases.

In 2012 we are combining with our book fairs, Art, Music and Film Festivals. This combination of culture will greatly increase the amount of traffic to the shopping centers, thus increasing the potential for added revenue to book festival participants. We're also planning entertainment and activities for all throughout the weekend. What better place to sell books than a shopping mall?

Author applications are now available on our website. Click onto www.InternationalBookExpo.com and select the event that interests you. Check this site often for updates on events in Atlanta, Washington D. C. area, Florida and Houston are in negotiations. You'll be happy you did!

Hope to see you at our events.

MY JOURNEY AS A COMBAT MEDIC:

From Desert Storm to

Operation Enduring Freedom

by

Patrick Thibeault

US Army Medical Sergeant (Ret) & Family Nurse Practitioner

Combat Medics are the unsung heroes of war. Hollywood prefers to focus on the glamour of Special Operations units or the spectacle of major battles. Combat Medics seldom make the headlines. Yet without them, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians alike would die on the battlefield, never again to see their friends and families and country.

My Journey As A Combat Medic: From Desert Storm to Operation Enduring Freedom (IBJ Book Publishing, $17.00, October 2011) by Patrick Thibeault offers a compelling, insider’s account of what it is like to be a Combat Medic in time of war. Thibeault narrates the harrowing moments Combat Medics endure as they courageously rush into danger to save wounded soldiers and civilians, their tender compassion in the face of brutality and violence, and their unswerving dedication to making sure they accomplish their mission and take care of the wounded.

“There is no job like that of an Army medic,” says Thibeault “You will travel to places and see things that others can only dream about. It is not an easy job, but it is a rewarding one. The rewards are not badges, ribbons, or bonus money; the rewards come from the good feeling you get from healing people. You will learn new skills on the battlefield that doctors are not taught in medical school yet. You will experience the highs when you save a live. You will experience the lowest of lows when someone dies on you.”

Among the many topics Thibeault can discuss include:

· His experiences working in Task Force Phoenix helping to train a deployable Afghan army that will take over as American troops withdraw.

· Discover what it takes to be a top-notch Combat Medic. The training is long and rigorous. The Combat Medic must constantly prepare for the worst. To do so, he or she must not only know what to do in the heat of battlefield but also stay mentally and physically fit on and off the battlefield.

· Advice for those who aspire to become Combat Medics themselves one day.

· The truth about Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) and how it affects veterans in particular. Learn why conventional treatments for it don’t always work for those subjected too long to the stresses of the battlefield.

· The unique bonds infantry and communication soldiers forge with combat medics.

· Growing up as a Army brat travelling around the world during the Cold War era

“Bin Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is in shambles, and the Taliban is weak, but we still have American fighting soldiers in Afghanistan ,” says Thibeault, who spent one year in Afghanistan . “The nation of Afghanistan needs infrastructure so people can have jobs and provide for their families. The Taliban took power in the first place because of the instability in Afghanistan . We want to end the war successfully. Ultimately the people of Afghanistan have to take the lead in this; otherwise there is no victory, regardless of definition. Victory in Afghanistan to me would mean a stable government, even with corruption that comes with it. Our enemies have been defeated but is it our job to build this nation?”

Amid the violence of war and the untold suffering it leaves in its wake, the Combat Medic’s humanity and compassion emerges as a bright beacon of hope. My Journey as a Combat Medic: from Desert Storm to Operation Enduring Freedom is a fascinating read that will entertain as well as educate readers about a facet of war that is far too often overlooked.
