Description: I am an author that has written two amazing books but need funding to help me market my books. Combined these books should sell 5 million copies. I make $1.75 for every book sold. I need an angel investor to invest $50,000 into the marketing of the books. This will help pay for a publicist and all the legwork I will need to do to get me on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Oprah etc. You can check me and my books out at (URL removed) I am very marketable; easy on the eye, smart, witty, and a person that people want to listen to and be around from the moment they meet me. My first book is titled Can There Be More? I wrote my memoir over two years ago. It was released September 23, 2008. It is titled Can There Be More? I am proud of the book and am looking forward to the release of my second book in September 2010. I was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1970. My life was mostly spent with my older sister going from one aunt's house to the next. My mother was killed in a car accident when I was three, my sister was seven, and my brother was eight months old. She was on her way to the grocery store to pick up buns for our New Years Eve party December 31, 1972. That evening all the guests showed up to mourn with my father. They watched as my father, with my sister and I on each knee said, "Your mother is never coming home and you will never see her again." We were put to bed crying. That same evening he began numbing his pain with alcohol. My life and my siblings life were altered that day, essentially we lost two parents, not just one. I spent my life looking for acceptance, love, nurturing, attention, and a hug. My sister tried hard to give me all of those things. But she was a child herself. I wandered around my first eighteen years in a blur. I attended DePaul University, but didn't graduate. By then my father was financially broke and my college funds had disappeared. At the age of twenty two, I packed one bag, a bike in a box, and $1000 and moved to Maui. I did not know one person in Maui. I left my sister that day, it was truly the hardest day of my life to that point, to move to an island where I knew no one, to be greeted by a stranger who I was renting a room from, and unsure how I would survive the rest of my life mentally and financially. I searched for the meaning of life for the next thirteen years. In those thirteen years, I divorced twice, had three children, and made too many mistakes to count. Finally, when I found peace, which is what I was searching for my whole life, I wrote my memoir. I wanted to share all that life threw at me (there were more tragedies to fill the lives of ten people, let alone one) all my faults, all my mistakes, and I wanted people to know, they too, can find happiness and peace even if they lost a parent, were abused, were raised by an alcoholic, were homeless, were depressed, anxiety ridden, angry, and resentful. I was all those things! I kept faithful to God, and he showed me hope and gave me direction. With faith and hope I turned my life around and gave the ones who need it my story: Can There Be More? You can find my book at (URL removed) My second book titled Just Ask My Husband! 101 Women's Perspectives on How To Keep Your Marriage Interesting, Sexy, Peaceful, & Alive! Will be released April 5, 2011. It is a must read for every married and single woman that is in a relationship, has ever been in a relationship, and plans on being in a relationship. I sent a questionnaire to 100 women I didn't know and asked them all the same questions. Some sample questions are: Have you ever cheated on your spouse? If yes, why are you staying? What makes you happy about your marriage? What advice would you give to a single woman looking for a spouse? The answers these women gave were smart, insightful, and spot on! It is a great read, and can save your marriage! The advice you are being given is not from Dr. Phil or Dr. Laura, no, these women are just like you: soccer moms, women with jobs outside the home, and they are trying to deal with carpools, homework, sports, and somehow they are making their marriages and families work! You will love this book! I can turn $50,000 into 7 million with some help!
