    We are getting ready to launch  The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired  by Kelly James. Look for it around June 15, 2024. Description: You're 52. Divorced. Single mom to a teenaged son and a tween daughter. Happily self-employed but worried about the cost of health insurance, the inevitable impact of perimenopause on your body, and whether you should keep dating a sexy plumber who's sweet and funny but lives an hour away and doesn't seem that into you. So, after 22 years of fulltime freelancing, you take a day job as a tiny, creaky cog in the corporate American machine where you're decades older than most of your coworkers - and you write about it. The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired: A Year in Corporate America is an entertaining, midlife memoir that shares what (and what not) to do when you make that corporate leap.

  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 topic is one that you do not see discussed very often, and it should be . Authors are always faced with the question of when to release a book. Release does not have to happen immediately.

We feel joy and love, and with that comes fear, sadness and grief. In all honesty, though, those are overly simple labels for our feelings. Under the surface, our emotional experience is far more complex and personal to our own lives.   Kris Girrell, with his background in theology and psychology is more than aware of the plentiful and complex emotions humanity is capable of, so imagine his surprise when his wife accused him of not being emotionally intelligent. He had gone to therapy, he had done the work to try to understand his own psychology, so what was missing?   This question set Girrell off on a quest into his deepest, most hidden emotional core.
