Blog Tour dates:

November 16, 2009 - December 16, 2009
 
Come and join the fun! Meet Lynn and visit her fabulous blog hostesses.

Dear ,

Writers, you're in for a treat! We're thrilled to announce the launch of B. Lynn Goodwin's Blog Tour with WOW! Women On Writing. Stop by The Muffin today and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of Lynn's book, You Want Me To Do What? Journaling for Caregivers. She will be checking in to answer your questions, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity. Lynn is the founder of WriterAdvice.com, and she has a lot of great advice she shares with us today. If you are interested in journaling, this tour is not to miss!

Journaling can be one of the best forms of therapy. It is especially true for those caring for someone close to them. In today's interview this is one of the things that struck me the most. For the past few months, I've been caring for my husband's mom who was battling cancer (she's in remission now) and was relearning how to walk. There were times when it got really tough, but I still did my best to maintain a cheerful attitude when I was around her, even though my heart was breaking at times. For whatever reason, it never occurred to me to keep a journal during this time. But after reading Lynn's interview, I understood how beneficial it would've been, and plan to start one right away. Lynn said, "It [journaling] allowed me to take my stress out on my journal instead of my mother, so it absolutely made me a better caregiver." That makes total sense!

There are so many other ways journaling can be beneficial. It can help you form story ideas, it can capture your mindset at certain stages of your life, and it can help you work through problems. Lynn is a big advocate for journaling and is really passionate about the art form. She makes it a part of her everyday life. She even references Julia Cameron's Morning Pages, and says, "It's always morning somewhere." So true!

This tour is for anyone interested in journaling. Whether you're already an avid journaler or just want to explore what it has to offer, Lynn's book and her tour will prompt you to start journaling and to keep up with it. We all need some discipline, right? That's what daily journaling can help with.

In addition, Lynn shares her interesting journey to publication and some unique book promotion techniques in today's interview.

As always, if you have a blog and would like to participate in Lynn's tour, we still have a few stops available to qualified blogs. Please email us with your request.

Let's meet the author, shall we?

5 Steps to a Hollywood A-List SmileTour Dates: December 1, 2009 - January 6, 2010

Title: 5 Steps to the Hollywood A-List Smile


Author:
Dr. Catrise Austin

Genre: Health/Beauty

Synopsis:
Imagine Having A Smile That Is Red Carpet Ready Like Hollywood's A-List Stars!

What if you could learn the secrets to a smile worthy of the red carpet - right in your very own living room? What if you could learn what the stars do to get their Hollywood A-List Smiles - then scout out ways to get it for a fraction of the price? What if you could gain - or perhaps even regain - the confidence, enthusiasm and energy of today's hottest celebs simply by getting the smile of your dreams? You can, you know, and 5 Steps to a Hollywood A-list Smile shows you how.

Dr. Catrise Austin is known as Manhattan's "celebrity dentist to the stars." Her busy 57th Street Midtown office is home to some of the most cutting-edge, [and] high-tech techniques on the planet, but you don't need to spend tons of money or even a lot of time on your smile if you simply learn the basics taught in 5 Steps to a Hollywood A-list Smile.

 
Dr. Catrise Austin with Blair UnderwoodAbout the Author:

Dr. Catrise Austin owes her A-List career to a love of belly laughs. As a new dentist, Dr. Austin enjoyed many nights at the comedy clubs of New York City where she met up and coming comedians such as Chris Rock, Tracey Morgan, Mike Epps, and Dave Chappelle. Before you could say, "Brush after every meal" Dr. Austin was known as the "Dentist to the Stars".

But Dr. Austin, who originally became a dentist because of how she felt as a young girl with a less-than-perfect smile, knew that great smiles weren't just for Hollywood. Many of her patients are not "stars" and it was for these people that she decided to write a book of all the secrets she'd acquired. She wanted the A-List smile to be in everyone's grasp.
