Self-publishing a book is an exciting undertaking. Because we understand the dedication that is required to write a quality book, we like to feature our top authors each week so that you can get to know a little bit more about them and their book. This week, we are featuring Allison Wynn’s The Answer: A Journey from Anger to Peace.
In her latest book, self-publishing Outskirts Press author, Allison Wynn, innovatively starts her readers off with the clever, but startling prompt: “How do you want to feel on the last day of your life?”
Wynn’s accessible narrative begins with Eric McPhearson stopping off at his favorite coffee shop for a pick-me-up before work. He is an angry man. His marriage is non-existent; his career seems on the rocks. While sipping his coffee, he spots and starts reading a stranger’s journal left on a table.
What he reads in the fine, leather bound journal suddenly silences all the anger inside him. He undergoes a breakthrough in his troubled marriage and his work, and he begins to live a happier, more peaceful existence.
Like Eric, the readers of The Answer will begin to explore the roots of the conflicts they’re experiencing in their relationships, and through the book’s simple, resonating message begin to make peace with those relationships. While that is sometimes easier said than done, Wynn acknowledges, her process does work and does restore the power of choice to create changes in one’s life.
Allison Wynn has spent thirty years as a professional in leadership effectiveness, personal empowerment coaching and family and relationship development. The two questions she’s been asked the most, she writes, are “How do I deal with anger in either myself or others?” and “How do I create a more peaceful life?”
This guide was written from her experience in helping others to find a practical way to answer those questions.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Allison Wynn has spent 30 years helping people create more peaceful lives. The two questions she’s been asked the most are, “How do I deal with anger in either myself or others,” and, “How do I create a more peaceful life?” She lives in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Send your book jet-setting on a global book tour!
Although the deadline for the 2012 BEA event has passed, and the London Book Fair was held last week, there’s still time to get valuable exposure at two other very well-attended international fairs this year (or sign up to send your book jet-setting on a whirlwind world tour in 2013 – but more on that later.)
Beijing
China is burgeoning in the publishing world marketplace, presenting an enormous opportunity for writers around the globe seeking to expand their books’ consumer appeal. Publishers catering to the Chinese market are scrambling to feed a growing hunger for translations of all types of books. Outskirts Press is assisting authors who wish to tap into the enormous potential by reserving display space at this exciting event through Outskirts Press.
Frankfurt
Imagine getting your book before more than 250,000 ravenous readers and industry insiders. The Frankfurt Book Fair is the largest publishing industry event in the world. Foreign rights sales and distribution beyond the shores of America take center stage at this event. In fact, authors who register through Outskirts Press can expect to reach more than 50 percent more international publishers than at BEA or other fairs.
London
Each spring this event brings together more than 23,000 publishing professionals from every point in the publishing supply chain. The largest publishing industry event of its kind in the UK, and widely regarded as the most important, the London Book Fair is the ideal place to make a connection with industry professionals, including acquisitions agents, editors and those who are interested in international rights. The London Book Fair is held every year in April and Outskirts Press is making a showing again this year. Mark your calendar to register for the 2013 event.
United States — BEA
One of the largest of these events, the Book Expo America (BEA) trade show in New York City, attracts more than 100,000 international authors, publishers, agents and buyers and 2,000-plus media personnel from around the world. America’s largest writing/publishing trade show and event, takes place in the last week of May each year. While the attendance is international, the focus is distinctly American, with American books, publishers and authors receiving the main interest. It’s the perfect place to let your book shine, with help from Outskirts Press.
Global Book Tour
Why choose just one fair when you can easily get worldwide book exposure before hundreds of thousands of the world’s most prominent publishing movers and shakers, ravenous readers and opinion-shapers at all four major events? By registering for all four in one fell swoop through Outskirts Press, you’ll not only secure your spot in four of the most influential industry events but you’ll get that exposure at a discounted rate.
Exhibiting your book internationally through Outskirts Press means your book receives valuable, face-out exposure on an exclusive shelf with four other titles. A representative is on hand to personally answer event attendees’ questions about your book. Plus, interested parties such as agents, publishers and buyers can make further contact, during or after the fair. All inquiries about your book are forwarded directly to you for personal follow-up in a post-show wrap-up.
Self-publishing a book is an exciting undertaking. Because we understand the dedication that is required to write a quality book, we like to feature our top authors each week so that you can get to know a little bit more about them and their book. This week, we are featuring Mark S. Foster’s A Life of Courage and Love.
In her latest book, self-publishing Outskirts Press author, Mark S. Foster, tells the remarkable story of a woman who agreed to be an “experiment” as an early kidney transplant recipient and went on to become the world’s longest living diabetic kidney transplant survivor, all the while working tirelessly to provide hope to other kidney transplant patients and to the blind.
Marcia Lortscher’s early years showed no signs of the exceptional life she was eventually destined to live. She was born and raised in a comfortable, conservative middle class Catholic family in Denver and she finished college before the 1970’s feminist revolution. She then explored several different career paths before marrying in her late twenties.
Then fate intervened. Marcia had been diagnosed a diabetic at age ten, but just after she married, her kidneys failed. She had been looking forward to settling comfortably into a conventional housewife’s role, but instead doctors suddenly began measuring her life expectancy in weeks. So serious was her condition that her doctors initially demurred at performing a kidney transplant.
She was finally accepted for the operation as an “experiment” and she ultimately became the longest living diabetic kidney transplant patient, surviving for thirty-six years.
Marcia experienced an endless array of harrowing medical problems and she went blind in her early forties, but she devoted her life to serving others through volunteerism. She and her husband had no biological children of their own, but they became surrogate parents to well over a hundred young people whom they called their “kids.” Marcia’s continuing work on behalf of other social service groups eventually brought her widespread recognition as one of the nation’s most valued volunteers.
Although this exceptional woman was uncomfortable with being singled out for praise and disliked being called an “inspiration,” readers of A Life of Courage and Love may decide that that label is, in fact, totally appropriate.

Self-publishing a book is an exciting undertaking. Because we understand the dedication that is required to write a quality book, we like to feature our top authors each week so that you can get to know a little bit more about them and their book. This week, we are featuring Michael L. Watson’s A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of My God.
In his latest book, self-publishing Outskirts Press author, Michael L. Watson, shows how the outdated and counter-productive dogma of today’s organized religions discriminates against all non-believers and against any believers who tend to be different and often overlooks the importance of women in God’s universe.
Today the media embellishes the thoughts of scientific geniuses such as Stephen Hawking and Craig Venter in their rush to heighten their celebrity status, but by doing so they lower the value that God plays in the sanity of this universe. For those struggling to find some moral conscience in a world full of economic and political unrest and natural disasters, organized religions no longer provide the spiritual and pragmatic support to parishioners made uncertain by this endless assault of “bad news.”
Believers and non-believers alike want to know why the endless strife of the world creates more pain and suffering than does transitory spiritual joy. They want to know if God created evolution or if evolution created God and they want to know if there is any other reason than blind faith to believe in an afterlife.
In A Glimpse into the Inner Workings of My God Watson chronicles his thirty year spiritual journey overcoming challenges to his health and to his human frailty and offers his readers a new understanding of a personal relationship with God that will bring them an inner peace in this world at war with itself.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Michael L. Watson is an inspirational author whose life has been nothing short of exceptional. Michael was raised by a divorced, always working, tough-loving mom who placed God first in their tiny, cramped apartment and put Michael through disciplined parochial education. Following in God’s ordered steps, Michael weathered more than his share of life’s endless struggles. For almost 30 years, with a “thy will be done” attitude, he overcame such life threatening health challenges as uncontrollable hemorrhaging, Tuberculosis, and Stage IV Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. With a Bachelors Degree in Health Care Administration, this proud father of seven college-educated children spent over 50 years experiencing life to perfect his reality-based personal relationship with God.
