Deborah Kobylt LIVE

Please welcome to our show, K.B. Hill with Ava Kaufman, authors of “Shark Heart.”
This is an amazing book, a true story about Ava’s life, and death, starting when she
died at her home, was revived in the ambulance, put into a coma for two months, and
eventually received a heart transplant. But that’s where the story begins.
When Ava was strong enough, she made it her mission to help others in a similar
situation, and founded Ava’s Heart, which funds housing and costs for patients in dire
need of a heart transplant. In this book, we hear from many of the people Ava has
helped. Let’s just say these stories will tug at your heart.
Please join us on #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms, and
please invite your friends, too. These are amazing women doing extraordinary things
to help others, so please also invite your friends to enjoy our program, too.

Deborah Levine Herman is a best-selling author of thirteen books, a spiritual healer,
mystic, former literary agent, lawyer, animal communicator, and the list goes on.
Today, she joins us to talk about her book, “Spiritual Writing, From Inspiration To
Publication.”
Deborah explains how spiritual writers are drawn to the writing process by a
powerful sense of mission and desire to share their experiences with the world. But
that doesn’t always ensure being published. Her book provides specific guidelines for
navigating ever-changing publishing protocols, including how to use technology to
find readers.
Please join us for this interesting conversation, and anyone who is a writer or wants
to be, please invite them to join along as well. #DeborahKobyltLIVE is available on all
video and audio platforms, I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt.

This next story is what life, and the holidays, are all about. Meet JD Slajchert, former college athlete and author, "Darling, You're Not Alone." The book is based on JD's life story about a young boy who came to see all of JD's college basketball games, until one day, the boy got very sick.

What happens after the boy's illness forever changed JD's purpose in life, and he writes about it. In fact, the NY Times calls his book, "A Must Read That Will Change Your Life." We talk with JD about this, and also how one incident in a person's life can truly change one's entire direction in life. #DeborahKobyltLIVE #DeborahZaraKobylt
