Sam Cherubin
The American poet Sam Cherubin presents Dead Animal Zoo, A Book Of Poetry On Social Change.
Dead Animal Zoo cuts right to the horrors of our present culture, revealing the world we don’t want to see: the world of outrageous social injustice, violence and control.
When you read Dead Animal Zoo, you get to slay the Medusa alongside Perseus.
Like Perseus using Medusa's head to slay Cetus, reading Dead Animal Zoo gives you the power to use the gorgon's suspicious, paranoid, angry, dark energy to destroy the monsters that threaten us… and free Andromeda, whose power and vulnerability represent the strength of our combined humanity.
Unchain your courage, your passion, and your desire to make genuine and lasting social change!
Get Dead Animal Zoo, poetry made in the U.S.A.

This full-day seminar is for authors who want to sell more books, but it’s also for those writers who want to think more like an entrepreneur, even if they have only just started on the journey. It’s for traditionally published authors who want to take control of their future income, and for self-published authors who want to jump-start jump-start their sales. It’s for fiction and non-fiction authors, with specific tips for both in the workshop.

I have been interviewed on my launch day for my Children’s book, Bing and Nero (April 4) on a blog by Jane Davis
When asked about the key factors that influenced her decision to become an indie author Ingrid Williams said:
“Once the illustrations for Bing and Nero were under way and the book began to take shape, I began to think about actually publishing it. I had no interest in going through the submission process and agent hunting for months and years. I began to investigate the range of self-publishing options out there and was quite impressed. That sealed it.”
My newly-launched book, Bing & Nero, was given a “Top Shelf Award” and a very nice review by Destiny's Book Dig Up

I've just added an ‘Amazon tips & tricks‘ page on my site and thought there maybe some useful info for readers.

Reviews for my new book, Agency Woman, appeared in three Scottish newspapers at the weekend – Highland News, Lochaber News, and North Star.
Agency Woman is a dark, Scottish tale of conspiracy, espionage, murder and terrorism, with an existential edge, and the spirit of an ancient mountain looming at its centre.
Claire Noble
Skingripe: One Woman's Struggle to Accept the Skin She's In
Genre: Humor. This is an Amazon Kindle Short Read.
For anyone who has ever had a pimple, a freckle, a wrinkle or a rash, Skingripe: One Woman's Struggle to Accept the Skin She's In, is a humorous commiseration of all that can go wrong with the body's largest and most visible organ. By focusing on her specific obsession–skin, Claire Noble explores the universal theme of body image in this essay length selection.
As a kid, Claire endured teasing for having freckles and suffered chronic sunburns from summers spent outdoors. Initially, adulthood meant a reprieve from schoolyard taunting and held the promise of instantaneous enhancement through makeup. Soon, much too soon, the need for wrinkle creams emerged followed quickly by treatments to keep skin cancer at bay.
Skingripe recounts Claire's struggle to care for and accept her skin, but not before spending an inordinate amount of time, money and sanity in the process.
If you are a member of The Alliance of Independent Authors and you would like to showcase your work on our ALLi Showcase, please send it to [email protected] to reach me no later than the Friday proceeding the Wednesday you would like it published.
