BookBuzzr interviews Michele Brenton – Author of Alternative Poetry…

A few months ago, we had the swine flu scare in India. Everywhere I went, I saw people wearing masks. And everybody kept cleansing their hands with hand-sanitizer. You could practically cut the fear in the air with a knife. At this point, I stumbled upon a BookBuzzr book with the words "Alternative Poetry - Lite" in the title. Intrigued, I flipped through a few pages. And before I knew it I was smiling ... and then laughing! Then I came across this little verse which was so relevant to the… Continue

BookBuzzr Interviews Chad Lilly - Founder of Inner Circle Publishing

Your book - uncommon sense - has a unique style and touches the reader in a very different way. Can you tell us a little about the book?

"uncommon sense" was my second book and contains poetry focused on the development of our intuitive process. It seems as if universal wisdom has always been written in this sacred language of metaphor: Poetry. Thus the reason why all 'sacred' books were penned by Poets (and later called Prophets). Touching on topics like: Inner Learning,… Continue

The National Publicity Summit will be held this year in New York City on April 22 to 25th. It should be a great program. You can find out more about the program and watch the video at:… Continue

Finding Opportunity in a Teacup

I recently read Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin’s Three Cups of Tea, the fascinating non-fiction account of how Mortenson, a mountain climber and American nurse, came to build fifty-five schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. In one of my favorite parts of the book, Mortenson describes a 1998 talk he gave in a sports shop in Apple Valley, Minnesota, where the store staff was so busy he had to set up the seating -- over a hundred folding chairs -- himself. After weeks of… Continue

Moment of Clarity and Lessons in Gratitude

Moment of Clarity: As many of you know, I offer free publicity in The Literary Lynnch Pen. The publicity is designed to give a little blurb about authors, artists, etc. with links to their websites for my readers to find out more about the artist and drive traffic to the sites. This is in no way a place to have your biography written by me. If that were the case, it would not be free. I do this as a way of giving back some of what I received in help from others. I know what a little publicity… Continue
