LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY -- On the Road Again

Living Well

My husband and I (isn't he great!) will be taking our dog and pony show on the road on Thursday to St. Petersburg, thanks to my ex-writing teacher, Charlotte Andersen. It's great to know people in high places! I'll be presenting to the Florida-Suncoast Chapter of the Church and Synagogue Library Association and they have budgets to buy books! Unlike doing signings at bookstores, where people come in to buy other books, not mine (a real hard sell situation), or even libraries (where people often go there to take out books because they can't afford to buy them), this should be a wonderful place to sell books. Yes, yes, cross your fingers and toes!

Charlotte says LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY is perfect because it delves into the spiritual side of anxiety (as well as the mind/body), which few self-help books do.

She also suggests bringing CAST INTO THE FIRE, an historical novel I wrote about the history of women healers at the time of the Inquisition and Salem Witch Trials. Did you know that wise women...precursors to nurses...were persecuted as witches by the church and doctors? It's all in there.

If you want to read reviews of LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY, go to www.publishersweekly.com
click on book reviews", then click on "reviews" and type in "anxiety" when the next page comes up. The reviewer says "What makes this book stand out isn't the clinically accurate overview of anxiety's causes and effects or the contrast of medical and holistic treatments, but its person-centered, stragic action plans..."

LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY also presents nutritional, herbal, time management skills, how exercise affects anxiety and more...It even helps you create an Anxiety Success Plan.

I wrote the book because millions of people---in fact, all of us---suffer from anxiety to various degrees, and most of us never seek treatment. For millions who suffer from panic attacks, fear of flying, fear of insects, fear of, fear of social or work situations, fear of public speaking, test anxiety (or any other fear), or obsessive-compulsive behaviors, this could be their only aid.

Stay Well,

Carolyn
