Book Trailers: How to promote your book



Authors!  Time to prepare for the holiday giving season by helping your readers and those who love them find your books. Whether your book is print or electronic, the most effective way to reach your readers is through your website, blog, and through social networking.  Writing blogs, tweeting, or buying ads does help the search engines find your work, but they are not as effective as a video, which entices and teases your readers?

Bean Counters Don't Own the Beans





Bean counters don’t own the beans, yet they treat the funds like their own private stash.  Counting them doesn’t give them ownership. The beans always have and always will belong to the depositors and investors.   It is a very simple concept, yet the money managers have forgotten that they are stewards not masters of the funds that have been entrusted to them.

Innovators create the products and services.  Workers make the products and service available for purchase.   It is their combined efforts that create prosperity.  Without them, bean counters would have nothing to count. Yet in the recent decades the focus and power has shifted away from those, who actually keep the country financially strong to those who live off their work. 

The money in the banks belongs the individuals and companies, who deposited it there for safe keeping.  However, it is the cycle of saving and lending that benefits everyone. Without depositors, the bank has nothing to lend.  Without lenders, the bank can’t pay the depositors interest.  The money managers only keep the records of transactions.  Yet, the upper management, especially the CEOs, find new ways to siphon off funds to benefit themselves.  High salaries and perks for the upper management have become the norm rather than the exception. 

Investors may help financially create innovation, but without the innovators there would be product therefore no profit.  Paying investors a return balances out the financial risk they took by supporting the individual or company.  Again this is a very simple process, which has been corrupted by money managers, who have injected themselves into the process.  Hedge fund managers, stock brokers, etc. contribute very little and risk even less, yet they make a profit from both sides.  

The bean counters thinking they own the beans, instead of just managing this country’s wealth has created the imbalance that keeps the country from financially stabilizing.  Money managers have usurped financial control, because individuals and companies let them have it.  In 1929, the stock market crash and banks failed, because people pulled their money out.  They stopped buying what the money managers were selling and there was nothing they could do about it.  Yet, whether an investor or depositor, they continue have all the power; they just don’t see that they have alternatives.  Credit unions and smaller banks focus more on supporting the both the depositor and the borrower, rather than creating a top heavy corporate structure.  Private investment, otherwise known as a non-public offerings, holds the same risk as investment in the stock market or through hedge funds, but it excludes the middle men, who profit without risk.   Private investment makes the financial agreements more personal and profitable for all involved.  Without the intermediary fees, the company receive more funding and the investor receives more of a return.




The ghost is a murdered child bring his parents back together after they have reincarnated.  He needs them to remember their lives together and forgive.  If he succeeds, they will all heal and he will be freed to also reincarnate.  If he fails, their need for revenge will damn them all

What's more important? Talent or Numbers?



I would like your help proving a point. Since the bean counters took over the entertainment industry, it has been less about talent and nearly completely about numbers. I would like your help using that misconception against them. The prime example is Michael Keaton. He is a very talented actor who has done amazing work, but his random numbers on IMDB said he was cold until he did Birdman. Sally Kirkland is another example. She is an Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner. Yet simply because she doesn't have people visiting her IMDB page on a regular basis, she is not considered marketable. It seems the numbers people only want what other people have. That is the fallacy that I want to use against them. Sally will be starring as Amanda in Never Can Say Good-bye. If you believe that talent should matter more than random numbers, I am asking you to visit her IMDB page as well as mine and Never Can Say Good-bye’s page. You need to stay about 30 seconds for it to register. You don’t need to have an account. It would also help if you click on the Facebook like button. Please share my request with your friends, family, and on your social networking sites. Together we can prove the bean counters wrong. Thank you in advance.

Do actresses over 40 have the right to complain about the roles they are offere?








So many actresses have been complaining about the quality of the roles that they are being offered, especially those actresses over 40.   Yet they do so little to change the industry.    It’s easy to point out the problems, but talk without action is merely whining.  

Never Can Say Good-bye has several roles that portray women over 40 as intelligent, strong, and beautiful, including the lead.  Instead of focusing on their bodies or what they look like, these roles challenge them to face their fears and heal their emotional pain.
It’s a low budget independent film with a solid script in a genre that remains popular in the domestic and foreign markets.  The low budget will to prove two things-- you don’t need a big budget to produce quality and that film can be profitable if you focus on innovation rather that fixing in post.  A lower budget also means a higher profitability margin, which in the end will bring more money for the investors as well as the cast and production team.  

With the logline, “The ghost of a murdered child brings his reincarnated parents back together. They need to forgive so that he will be freed to reincarnate? Can they forgive or will they take revenge on his murderer?” Never Can Say Good-bye is comparable to Ghost, The Others, and the original Dark Shadows series.

Elizabeth: A woman in her late 40's, any ethnic background, who only comes emotionally alive in the pages of her novels. Her fear and distrust of others kept her from building any close bonds of friendship. She was an island onto herself and she liked it that way.
Arriving in Coyote Springs, she is suddenly confronted by memories she doesn't understand. By the time, she realizes what is happening the rage and guilt have force her down a path that can only end in murder. The only question that remains will she learn forgiveness or she finally have her revenge.

Judy:  A woman in her early 50's who looks like she could be related to the character Amanda. Although she comes off as a hard ass controlling bitch, she is in fact a wounded soul, who learns her whole life has been a lie.
