I have a podcast here that I did with John Kremer, the marketing guru. He invited me to share unusual places to sell books. Take a listen and hit those streets running: goo.gl/WGTF7

This is a good time of the year to go to specialty shops and plug your book. I have sold my books in wineries gift shops, beauty salons, novelty shops, etc. It just takes a few minutes to go into any shop and speak with the owner. They can either say, yes or no. Offer them a 40% discount, and put the books on consignment. They have nothing to lose and you still make 60%. I have sold as many as 25 books in a store doing this.

They say this is the time of year where depression starts winning the battle with some of us. December is one of the highest months for suicides. There are many reasons for this:
- A person is out of money and can’t buy a presents for their family.
- A man has just lost his wife and it is his first holiday alone.
- Everyone seems to be joyful and happy around you and you can’t see too much to be happy about.
Depression is not something to take lightly. I know I have been there. I was so depressed in 2001 that is was sitting in my Ford Explorer ready to end my life.
God stopped me that day and has been carrying me ever since. I talk about this in my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” I talk right away about my near death experience and then show the readers how they can overcome depression, self-doubt, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, and the many other usual suspects.
If you are one of those people struggling, or know of someone who is, this book could be a life saving book. I have received many phone call, letter, emails, etc., from people who say this book turned their life around, or helped someone they know.
Don’t let the darkness overcome you, or your loved ones. Reach out to others to help them, and help yourself as well. God is always there for you.
Remember:
You are never alone.
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!
