BOOK: Amber’s Way
AUTHOR: Gloria Galloway
GENRE: Young Adult
BLURB: Globally, approximately 400,000 children are diagnosed with Neuroblastoma each year. Amber’s Way, is the story of one girl’s struggle with this devastating disease. It is told with heart-stirring tenderness. The narrative is about courage, inner strength, and a fighting spirit. Above all it is about the powerful bond of love between a mother and child.
Author Gloria Galloway is committed to bringing awareness of the need to find a cure for this terrible disease, and a percentage of the proceeds from Amber’s Way will be donated to the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation, Bloomingdale, Illinois.
3 FUN FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I love all things paranormal—ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. Why don’t I write in that genre?…Too scary!
Some might consider me a cat lady, but I only have one. I’m always bragging about how smart Summer is. No joke. She fetches. Maybe not that unusual, but how many cats do you know who roll over on command? She knows seven other words as well. I’ve got video.
Before the problems with my back, I loved roller coasters. The bigger, the better! And the taller the drop, the better the thrill. You might ask what’s so special about that? Well, the truth is I’m terrified of heights!
BOOK: How To Get On Podcasts
AUTHOR: Michelle L. Glogovac
GENRE: Nonfiction
BLURB: The explosion of social media, AI-enabled online advertising, and the overall cacophony of the internet has made it harder than ever to connect a message with an audience. One of the most powerful emerging tools for cutting through that noise is being a guest on podcasts, or “podcast guesting.” Michelle Glogovac, aka The Podcast Matchmaker™, knows the impact podcast guesting has on business and brand growth. She helps entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, activists, experts, and authors promote themselves, their businesses, organizations, stories, and expertise via podcast interviews. In How to Get on Podcasts, she teaches you how to: ● Create unique speaking topics without being generic ● Define your ideal audience ● Design branded media kits ● Establish your expertise and knowledge ● Share yourself freely without resorting to sales tactics ● Tell compelling stories ● Repurpose your interviews into evergreen marketing content ● Turn every interview into a valuable business opportunity There are more than two-million podcasts, out of which 500,000 host expert guests―a huge opportunity for leveraging a free and robust marketing tool―if you have the know-how. With How to Get on Podcasts, you have everything you need to increase business, boost your career and brand, and elevate your thought leadership potential.
3 FUN FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 1) I sold jet fuel to corporate flight departments for 18 years before moving into the podcast industry. 2) I didn't know how to listen to a podcast until 2018...despite having an iPhone with the purple icon to play them! 3) In my previous career life, I met a number of celebrities which include Sean Penn, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Christopher Lloyd, Tom Skerritt, Al Michaels, and more!
