One of the pleasures of helping people write their books is being able to brag about not only the ones that have been published, but the ones that are still in process or still in the marketplace. Here’s a sampling of coming attractions which I’ve had the privilege of being involved with as a writing coach and/or editor.
• Olympic gold-medal champion and BBC commentator Michael Johnson’s Gold Rush—an anecdotal exploration of what it takes to achieve Olympic success using Michael’s own story and his interviews of other star athletes who have made Olympic history. HarperCollins UK will be publishing the book this year in anticipation of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
• Wendy Coblentz’s Back Story—a humorous journey through back pain, encounters with alien healers, flashbacks to the past and self-discovery.
• Art Samson’s The Captain’s Airline—an aviation thriller which traces the genesis of a real-life program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM) that profoundly changed the airline culture and substantially increased air travel safety margins.
• Fanchon Blake’s Fighting for the Silent Force—a memoir by the woman who initiated one of the country’s landmark Title VII cases when she sued the LAPD in 1973 after more than 25 years of being a cop.
• Rick Gilbert’s Speaking Up—a book in which top-level executives reveal the dynamics of senior level meetings and share the best ways for middle managers to present to them. Their advice could literally save a career, get a project funded, or even help a company pull ahead of the competition.
• Cynthia Toussaint’s Battle for Grace—an unflinching memoir and challenging love story which takes the reader along on the roller coaster life of a woman battling debilitating chronic pain. Despite setbacks, abuse and betrayal, she holds her ground, finding in the process the spotlight she’d always coveted and a deeper meaning in life than she ever expected.
• Dr. Surrender Neravetla’s Salt Kills—an easy-to-understand, scientific look at how regular table salt is enemy number one in terms of health. In addition to putting people at risk for heart disease and strokes, salt consumption increases the likelihood of obesity, osteoporosis, asthma and dementia.
