Book Jewel of the Month: From Deep Within - Reviewed by SLK on Amazon

 


What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Starting in August, we will share near-daily, as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.

This month's book jewel is From Deep Within by Susan Lewis, Ph.D., J.D. 

From SLK on Amazon: 

I highly recommend Susan Lewis’ book. “From Deep Within” is exactly where her perspective and insight emerge. Susan is very open and honest in her personal life’s journey, as well as in her career with her clients/patients. She gives the reader a clear and vivid picture of the challenges and successes, predictability and unpredictability in the life of a forensic & clinical psychologist.

This book is a true reminder to maintain an open mind and to be sensitive and empathetic to the struggles that others are experiencing in their fragile lives when living with mental illness and/or substance abuse issues -- that we may or may not be aware of. It gives a whole new meaning to the saying “walking in someone else’s shoes”.

The author’s empathy, vulnerability, and sincerity are apparent throughout the book, and are especially highlighted in the last few pages. Her humanness shines through the dynamic and intricacy of her relationships. I thought she handled her clients with the utmost respect and care, while trying to balance reality, sound judgment and professionalism in the most difficult situations.

I have been fortunate enough to attend one of Dr. Lewis’ educational seminars, and have learned an immense amount from her. I am grateful that she has shared her knowledge and personal experiences with us. She “tells it like it is” , which is what you want in a book of this nature, and exactly what is delivered.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

  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
