Many yearn for the prestige and sense of accomplishment of having a published book. The world of publishing has changed, however. We no longer have to send out dozens of query letters and wait anxiously for a response that often never comes.   Well-known books such as A Time to Kill by John Grisham and What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard Nelson Bolles started as self published books before they became national bestsellers. There is also the story of Amanda Hocking who set out to make an extra few hundred dollars self publishing, but made $2.5 million instead. The number of self-published books in the United States annually has grown 287 percent since 2006, according to statistics. We now have the power in our own hands, but what do we do with it?   Bestselling author Michelle Stimpson has penned several works, including national bestseller, Divas of Damascus Road, the highly acclaimed Falling Into Grace, and Amazon #1 bestseller, Stepping Down. She has also published more than 50 short stories through her educational publishing company. Michelle holds an English degree from Jarvis Christian College and master’s degree in education from the University of Texas at Arlington. She joins the show to share her trade secrets on how to sucessfully self publish your book! (www.MichelleStimpson.com)

*Chosen as BlogTalkRadio Staff Pick!*   Ever had that feeling like you just want to curl up in a ball and shut the world out forever? Chances are you're suffering from depression and don't know it. Depression is more than the "blues," it's a pervasive condition that warrants attention.

The recent suicide of actor Lee Thompson Young--star of popular shows such as the Disney Channel's The Famous Jett Jackson, Rizzoli and Isles and Scrubs--left people dumbfounded. Why would a young man who seemed to have it all take his own life? His death was just another reminder of the skyrocketing suicide rates, especially among men.

Joining the conversation will be Craig Meriwether. Craig fought a nearly life-long battle with depression and won. He created the best-selling programs Depression 180 and Mind Mastery Blueprint, and appeared as a featured author in the New York Times bestselling book Pearls of Wisdom: 30 Inspirational Ideas to Live your Best Life Now! along with Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff and Janet Bray Attwood. Craig now travels the country speaking to thousands of people every year and leading workshops in creating lasting life transformation. Craig teaches others how to eliminate depression and create deep happiness and success! (http://craiginreallife.com/)

Also, weighing in on the topic is actor, Shun Lauren. He is currently starring in the film, A Better Life. Shun has seen the world through a similar lens to Lee Thompson Young and was personally touched by his death (www.imdb.me/shunlauren).
