Author Works Hard to Promote Book Using Various Avenues
After publishing her book—titled How Is Your Walk: If God Came Today Would You Be Ready?—with Xulon Press, author Cherish Campbell began promoting it through local and international churches by emailing out a copy of the book's summary and where it could be purchased. Additionally, she has worked hard to advertise the book through newsletters and church notice boards as well as in far-reaching magazines such as The Baptist Times and Keep the Faith. Thus far, her hard work has paid off: she has received a great deal of interest in her book and has sold many copies of it. Her book, which is based on the book of Deuteronomy, explores the grace factor and whether today's believers are using it as an excuse to continue in sin.

Author Invited to Be a Guest on a WGRC Live Radio Show
In The Bridge, Xulon Press author Jackie Carpenter candidly shares with readers the account of her son Jason's high-profile murder trial and exoneration. Thus far, the author has been working proactively to promote her book—and her hard work has paid off in the form of interviews, reviews, and articles. She has received numerous five-star reviews on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com from readers across the world—including Midwest Book Reviews' Richard R. Blake—many of whom are calling it "an inspiration," "a must-read," "compelling," and "fast-moving."
Her book was also recently featured on the I Love to Read blog. The author of the blog had this to say about the book: "This book taught me the importance of holding God's eternal and able hand throughout the ordeals of life... If there is any way you have the chance to read The Bridge, do read it. It's a prayerful book from a loving mother's heart."
Additionally, Feathered Quill Book Reviews' own Deb Fowler read a copy of the author's book, which she dubbed "a powerful story of an accidental death and the unwavering faith of a mother's love and belief in the Psalms." The reviewer went on to say, "If you want to hear about a 'miracle' and the effect the power of prayer can have on a family, you will be very interested in this mother's story!"
As a result of all the publicity, Carpenter was invited as a guest on WGRC's Matter at Hand live radio show in May and for a segment on TCT Alive in June. On both of these shows, she discussed her book and the reasons for writing it.
