It's what she'd learned from her experience that she's now teaching and helping others having similar issues. From the start, she already had an idea that the book will be received well but the surprising thing was having complete strangers writing and sharing their stories with her.  As a recognized Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping Coach, she has since gained the attention of conference organizers and had been invited as a speaker in places like Europe. She's now working with clients directly who had found her through the book and has since launched her Reclaiming Intimacy Coaching Certification alongside her EFT practice.  Read more and download the transcript: Alina Frank on The Author Incubator

Join Dr. Angela Lauria of Book Journeys Radio as she interviews author James Wilmot, on the writing and publishing of his book for the holiday season, The Boy Who Became Father Christmas. One thing everyone should know about author James Wilmot is that he loves Christmas. The story for The Boy Who Became Father Christmas appeared in his head one Christmas already fully formed and, for him, it was really just a question of getting it on paper. "Although I did form the story 100% in my head, I ran out of steam half way through," he said beside the fact that it's a story that's very dear and personal to him. In order to complete the story, he jumped to the end and went backwards until he met himself in the middle. For Wilmot, success came silently like Santa in the night. "I wish I knew the feeling of accomplishment I got when the book went to number 1!" he said. "It’s a great feeling to know that I have contributed to the literature of Christmas."

Join Angela Lauria as the interviews author Nicole Pouchet on the publishing of her book, Annie's Defiance.  Annie's Defiance is the third book of Nicole's Elemental Myths series, so the topic was pretty set even before she started writing the book. She simply focused on the motivations of her characters and the story tells itself, as she put it.  Inspired by ancient Incan culture, the book is a paranormal romance involving a prophecy and powers over the elements. She equates the time she devoted to writing the book to life energy spent wisely since being an author is her passion, first and foremost. For Nicole, there's this thrill in finishing a book, even when there's a system or structure to the process. "Maybe I’m a type-A person to thrive with structure," she said, "but I couldn’t write a book without deadlines, editorial rules, etc."  She credits Difference Press for giving her lifelong habits that help to ensure that she can finish every book that she starts.  Read more and download the transcript here: Nicole Pouchet on The Author Incubator
