Says Ferguson, "Larry's opening remarks were, 'When I read this book, I realized this is really, really well done. You can tell by his exuberance, his enthusiasm, that he has been a real blessing to the youth he has worked with for over 30 years.' Later Larry asked me what youth got out of a youth group meeting. I replied that, besides providing a safe place for them to congregate, we want to challenge them to move forward in their faith and to learn how to apply that faith." Additionally, Ferguson has plans for a book signing at the New Horizons Christian Store in Coram, New York, this September.

City on a Hill Takes Flight with Publicity
Once upon a time, Xulon author Diana Crews wrote a little book called City on a Hill Prayer Journal, designed for families and individuals who want to reclaim and record their godly heritage. That little book has since spread its wings and taken flight with a series of interviews and book signings in Crews' native Alabama. The busy author took time out from her schedule to pop into Dove's Christian Supply and also chat up Ann Varnum of WTVY Dothan. Additionally, the author found herself spotlighted in the Sunday edition of the Dothan Eagle Newspaper. Not bad for a book with humble beginnings-as the brainchild of 25 years of observation in the Department of Human Resources and a solution to the overly rampant "ills of society."

Stellar Reviews, PR Write-up, and Awards for Xulon Author
Whatever Xulon author Robert Hammond has been doing to promote his book, it's working. The tenacious author of Grace Period: The Awakening of Abel Adams used his pen to detail a story of one man's deliverance from a labyrinth of crime, cults, and incarceration, and to witness the triumph of truth over falsehood and rejoice in the discovery of love through the power of faith. One thing Hammond certainly is enjoying right now, aside from the power of faith, is the fruits of his labor. A slew of interviews, book signings, and critical praise were eclipsed only by a recent nod from the Indie Excellence Book Awards 2007, which placed his book as a finalist in both their "religious fiction" and "African-American fiction" categories.
Now that Hammond's demand as a writer is red-hot, several stations have been eager to book him on their show. "The Big Finale" program, hosted by Bruce Collins, sat down recently with Hammond for a chat about Abel Adams, and Collins has promised a review of his novel to AmericanChronicle.com, WorldSentinel.com, and raidersnewsnetwork.com. The interview is located at www.radiohaven.net.
Additionally, Hammond's book landed him a stellar press release and critical acclaim from Debra Gaynor of ReaderViews. The website's Tyler R. Tichelaar also sat down for an interview with Hammond to discuss Abel Adams, the Bible's influence in Western literature, reader responses, and upcoming projects. Throughout the course of the chat, Hammond revealed his plans for a Grace Period screenplay and another screenplay he is working on titled Black's Law. The full interview can be accessed at http://www.readerviews.com/InterviewHammond.html.
A currently featured book on ReaderViews.com, the book has received excellent reviews and article coverage as well as the release of a multimedia PreView (see www.readerviews.com for more information).

Book Finds Own Publicity Momentum
When author Deborah B. Turner received her first shipment of books, she sent several to well-known ministries. So far she has received requests from two of the ministries requesting a videotape of her sharing her testimony before an audience. One of those was Focus on the Family.
Meanwhile, her book Trees Wear Glasses, Don't They? has been selling so well at a Nashville bookstore that she’s been invited to attend CBA Advance in January as a guest of the bookstore—and do a book-signing while she’s in town.
An executive with the SC Southern Baptist Association wrote to Turner telling how her book inspired an airplane conversation that resulted in the fellow passenger leaving with her book in hand. Writes Turner, “All of this is happening with me doing very little to promote the book myself. I have had one book signing where we sold 30 books in two hours, and many others who had already purchased the book brought theirs in for signing. Also, I have shared my testimony several times and have four other churches on the calendar in the next couple of months.” Kudos to you, Deborah!

Radio Expands Interview for Author of Wake Up and Smell the Truth
An interview on Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson’s national radio show expanded from a scheduled 30 minutes to one hour for David M. Berman, author of Wake Up and Smell the Truth: A look at our nation's founding principles and the failure of liberalism. Writes Berman, “During the interview, it was clear that I had hit a nerve with my book. He was very complimentary and said many times throughout the interview that ‘everyone should read Rev. Berman’s book Wake Up and Smell the Truth…[in it the author makes] arguments that any Christian or non Christian can understand.’ It was a great interview.”
In addition to another one-hour interview on “VIEWPOINT,” a national radio show hosted by Chuck Crismier, Rev. Berman did an interview on WKBS in Big Springs, Texas. Once again, an interview that was scheduled for 30 minutes stretched into an hour and 45 minutes. “The phones were lit up, and the host was impressed with the discussion, and response of the listeners,” reports the author.
Wake Up and Smell the Truth takes a hard-hitting look at our nation’s fall into a liberal, relativist worldview and presents logical arguments as to why liberalism and relativism are illogical.

Katrina Survivor/Author Tapped for Radio Interview
Two weeks after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans author Al Cole was a guest on KNEO Radio 91.7 FM’s “Author’s Corner” program, talking about his new book, The Shadow Christian: A Parable About Men, God, and Sexual Temptation. KNEO serves the Joplin, Missouri, area and reaches an audience of more than 300,000 listeners. “We were preparing to begin promoting the book the week the storm hit,” says the author, who is continuing to line up additional interviews. “Even though our future is uncertain right now, my wife and I strongly believe in the message of this book, which is that God can restore a marriage shattered by sexual addiction.”
The Shadow Christian, a simple story of recovery and spiritual growth, has already garnered some high-profile endorsements, including statements from Stephen Arterburn, founder of New Life Ministries, and Joe Dallas, founder of Genesis Counseling and creator of Pure Online workshops. A portion of the proceeds from the book will go toward helping men who want to break free from the bondage of sexual sin.
