Book Journeys - Traveling the Path of Being a Non-Fiction Author

Join Maggie McReynolds of BookJourneys Radio as she interviews author Cindi Laree on the writing and publishing of her book, Flipping the Fairytale.  Cindi did not realize how easy it would be to write her book once she got it out of her head. She could not envision the writing process but felt that she was "called" to write the book with her tendency to have colorful experiences in dating. She felt that the topic picked her instead of the other way around. "I had had too many crazy dating stories, and lessons learned not to share them with others," she said.  Read more and download the transcript: Cindi Laree on The Author Incubator

Join Maggie McReynolds of The Author Incubator as she interviews author Sarah Nannen on the writing and publishing of her book, Grief Unveiled: A Widow's Guide to Navigating Your Journey in Life After Loss. When Sarah started with her book, she didn't realize that she was going to write it three times and that she had to step out of real life and make sense of the writing process by checking into a writing sanctuary.  Given the difficulties she encountered in putting her thoughts onto paper, it was not hard for her to focus on the subject as she's both a widow and grief coach, so she knew what she needed to share. All she needed was a clear path to finishing the book, which was provided perfectly by The Author Incubator.  Read more and download the transcript: Sarah Nannen on The Author Incubator

"With the rise of the c/s rate in my community, I knew it was an important message in order to empower women's birth choices," she said. She explained that it was also the result of her discontentment at the medical system and its efforts to control birth and sidelining the sacred and emotional aspects of the process, which ultimately limit the informed consent process and birth choices of expecting women.  Read more and download the transcript: Ilia Blandina on The Author Incubator  

Join Jenn McRobbie as she interviews author Cheryl Ale on the writing and publishing of her book, The Spark: The Legacy that Changed the Dance World.  Cheryl explains The Spark as something which lives in all of us. "It is the awareness, the anticipation, the a-ha of everyday," she told Dr. Angela Lauria of The Author Incubator. She explained that it's based on classical ballet specifically, which needed to get "that spark" again.  Ballet was the subject which she naturally chose for her book since she grew up with this legacy, with her mother believing that dance could straighten her body. There was an alignment not just of the physical, but also a spiritual awakening. The Spark is for creative artists and dancers-turned-teachers who are now struggling with the complexities of teaching.   Read more and download the transcript: Cheryl Ale on The Author Incubator  

Join Jenn McRobbie of The Author Incubator interview author Susan Mercer on the writing and publishing of her book, A Graceful Goodbye.  Susan didn't really knew that writing her book entailed going through a lot of emotions. The topic for it just came to her at a time when she was thinking of something different to write about. For her, A Graceful Goodbye was not just something she wanted to write, but it was also a book that needed to be written to support people.  The more she wrote and read the book during the writing process, the more she felt that the effort was all worthwhile. "I would recommend Angela’s program of encouragement, accountability, dedication and discipline with having the support of fellow authors writing at the same time," she said. She added that it was easier to work with others experiencing similar emotions during the process instead of going it alone.

For Pam, the friends that she has made and the impact the book has had on her readers are the best things that have come out of being an author.  Read more and download the transcript: Pam Prior on The Author Incubator
