Tour Begins, Freebies End


Friday, March 28, marks an important milestone: The launch of the most joyful work of my lifetime: The Bringing in the Light Tour and the release of my new book, Crossing an Unseen Bridge.


Last summer, four authors and speakers, Gaile Dry-Burton, Patrice Gaines and Trevy McDonald, and myself founded HIPP Books, LLC, deriving our name from our dedication to promote Health, Inspirational, Peace and Prosperity. When we decided to take our act on the road, it was best-selling author Patrice Gaines who offered another name: "Bringing in the Light." It described our mission perfectly.


Since that fateful day, we have created an empowering series of workshops that are as insightful as they are fun. As the tour schedule develops, I will keep you posted. In most cases, the events are free. In each city, we're featuring a local author in our genre. In New York, it's best-selling author Terrie M. Williams. We're very excited about that.


There will be two "Come, Bring Your Light" panel discussions on each side of the main event. Both are in Harlem. Friday evening at 6 o'clock, we'll be at the National Black Theatre of Harlem and Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, we'll wrap up at Hue-Man Books and Cafe.


Publicity surrounding the main event on Saturday, March 29 at The New School University in Greenwich Village has created quite a buzz. (Maybe it was the news that New York's famed Dinosaur Bar-B-Q is catering the free lunch.) At any rate, it's the hottest ticket in town. To make sure that they don't have to turn you away, RSVP no later than today to: marciam@datewithabook.com. Warning: It might already be too late. Speaking of too late...



Free Downloads End Tonight!
The floodgates are about to close! If you're one of the few who hasn't read Crossing an Unseen Bridge (and hasn't discovered the Law of Attraction secrets that no one wants to talk about), downloads are free until midnight. I've enjoyed sharing it with you.

Have you seen any of the Crossing an Unseen Bridge reviews? Readers are sending back a lot of love from the other side. Not since "Drama Queens" have I cried such happy tears! The feedback has touched me as deeply as you tell me that this book has touched you. Read a few reviews.

We've noticed an uptick in downloads and sales of EARTH Is the MOTHER of All Drama Queens--especially by those who have read Crossing an Unseen Bridge. Maybe it's because the two are perfect companion books--or maybe it's because this is the first time that the 320-page book has been offered free. If it's the latter, here's a news flash: Drama Queen freebies also end tonight.

The Politician and His Pastor



In my role as the spirituality editor of The Daily Voice online news source, I was asked to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's pastor's resignation from his presidential campaign from a spiritual rather than political point of view. If you're interested in what the Loud Mouth saw from the balcony of that drama, read it here.
