My New Book

I have a new book coming out this year, titled, "It's all in Your Head."  This is my story of what I endured living with a brain cyst.  I was diagnosed in 2004 at the age of 35 and subsequently had a heck of a road to go down to get, first, anyone to believe that the symptoms I was dealing with, were related to the cyst, and then....what I went through with my treatments and having to find a "new normal."

My book will be out for pre-sales in the summer this year, 2011, and on the shelves in the fall.  I will keep everyone posted as to its release.  My hope is that my book will encourage others to never give up.  It will give others hope, educate them, and let them know that they are not alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling with a long term medical condition, remember to look for, "It's all in Your Head."  I will post about it again as the time nears for its release.

Creating Content

Creating an article that is well thought out, informative and gets your readers' attention, is one of the best ways to gain a following for your site. It is the content that drives your readers to you. Articles are golden nuggets of information. If you create articles that are weak, boring and airy, readers and followers will soon lose interest.

Your readers and followers are coming to your site to gain information and insight. Don't disappoint them by posting articles that don't deliver. You want to make sure that when someone stops by your site, they leave feeling more informed about the topic they just read about. You also want to intrigue them enough that they want to come back, and revisit your site.

Articles are the driving force behind a successful site. They are what entice your readers to return to your site, add your site to their "favorites," and pass the word along to their friends about you. So don't disappoint them. Give them rich, well-thought out articles to read and learn from.
