Daily Excerpt: How My Cat Made Me a Better Man (Feig) - Epilogue

 



excerpt from How My Cat Made Me a Better Man (Feig)-

Epilogue

Face the Cat in the Mirror

Hopefully, reading this book helped you become a better man or at least spurred on some self-examination. If nothing else, I hope you learned two things:

a. guys can read self-help books; and

b. cats know how to live a good life.

When I first adopted Shelly, I just thought we'd have fun together. I had no idea she'd teach me how to be the best man I could be. I learned never to give up, to manage my control issues, to be more caring, and to make an effort to be happy. I also learned to look underfoot when I was walking since Shelly would get upset when I stepped on her. 

This book was all about my experiences with a cat. If you want to learn more, why not adopt one yourself? Not only do cats make great companions, they can also draw out the best in you. Are you lazy? Get an active cat to keep you moving. Are you shy? Get a cat that wears a leash and strangers will rush to talk to you. Do you sleep too much? Get a kitten, and you'll never sleep again.

Or you could just wing it. Hit the animal shelter and find the right cat for you. Maybe you'll learn from each other; maybe you won't. But, at least, you'll have a new furry friend around the house. Just remember to feed her.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

Image
  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen. Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing t
