Book Me for October!

 

Did you know that, here in the United States, there is a National Day on Writing?  I didn’t either until I received an invite from the local library to participate in their month long festivities.  The celebration will include displays of books written by local authors, a meet-and-greet and a book signing event!

Back in 2009, the National Council of Teachers of English, established October 20^th as the National Day on Writing.

The purposes of this day were to:

1 – Highlight the remarkable variety of writing we engage in everyday

2 – Provide a collection for research on whether writing today has risen to new highs or sunk to new lows

3 – Help us help others to write better.

 So, the Westland Public Library has offered several local, published authors to submit a book of their choosing which will be placed in a display case for the entire month of October. On Saturday, October 17^th, there is a meet-and greet as well as a book signing where the authors are welcome to sell their books.

 I chose to submit my book, Perspective, it’s all about replacing one thought with another. This is a book of poetry, prose and photographs of mine, which were all chosen to help one shift their perspective should they so desire.  And I have arranged to share a table with another local author (whose book will be on display as well) for the book signing.

This is so exciting and I look forward to being able to share my book, learn about other local authors and say that I have one of my books in a library!

http://www.amazon.com/author/annetterochelleaben is my Author Central Page, where Perspective can be found.  Perspective is available in both paperback and Kindle editions.

Of course, I can be contacted directly for autographed copies. So by all means, reach out!

Perspective it’s all about replacing one thought with another

More often than not, we find ourselves getting caught up in what we ‘think’ is going on and that can lead us to a variety of conclusions, some of which appeal to us and some that are certainly unappealing. While we may have no control over situations or circumstances, we DO have control over how we choose to look at something, for in reality our thoughts create our perspectives. A casual conversation I had with a friend years ago brought this to light when he looked at me and said, “It’s all about replacing one thought with another!” In that ah-ha moment my life changed for the better. Each and every entry of my book, PERSPECTIVE it’s all about replacing one thought with another is my perspective on something either intellectual or visual. I created this book because these words and pictures help me shift my perspective when I need it the most. Others tell me that this book helps them deal with stress, death, anger and frustration or simply puts a smile on their face when they open to any random page. This is NOT a how-to book, it is merely a silent companion that speak volumes by offering something to think about! Here is the DIRECT LINK for you to ORDER your copy and perhaps an extra copy or two for those you care about! Thank you.
