Up-and-Coming Author Receives Her Due with Slew of Publicity Stints
Recently, listeners in Albuquerque, New Mexico, tuned into their local Christian radio station, KNKT 107.1 (www.knkt.com) for a chat with Xulon author Darlene Cozart. The author, who was interviewed about her book, Holiday Treasure Stories, by Peter Benson on two separate occasions, notes that KNKT 107.1 broadcasts to more than a million listeners every week. The result? Word has been spreading like wildfire about the up-and-coming author, whose book-and career-is red-hot. The Albuquerque Journal did a whole top-page write up on the in-demand author's Holiday Treasure Stories; meanwhile, the local Barnes & Noble invited her to participate in their Easter book signing, saying they would provide all the books and all she needed to do was sign them. The signing, which is planned for March 22 at 2 p.m., will be attended by Joy Junction, KNKT, and The Albuquerque Journal, who plans to have a reporter on hand to snap pictures of the event. This upcoming event is eclipsed in excitement only by Cozart's recent number one spot on Barnes & Noble's online website. "To me that's very exciting and makes it very easy to help with promotions," she says. "I could get really used to being on that number one spot for a very long time! It has a very nice feeling to it!"
Cozart has also vowed to donate ten percent of every book sold to a worthy cause: Joy Junction, New Mexico's largest emergency homeless shelter. The organization houses close to 400 a night, helps feed families that have lost everything, and aids them in getting their feet back on solid ground again.
"I feel so blessed and excited," the author says. "I feel that not only am I being blessed, but that by helping with Joy Junction, we can and will make a difference in so many peopleÕs lives."

Author Delivers His Message at Very First Book Signing
Xulon author Minister Gary T. Pierce has been hard at work promoting his book, Angels Hear What the Spirit Is Saying to the Seven Churches Revelation 1-3, in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. In December, the author was pleased to host his first book signing at Mustard Seed Bookstore, and he also had his book advertised in a local African-American newspaper called the Capitol City Courier. The book, which contains end-time messages to seven churches and seven angels that were given to the author by God, has been years in the making: "It was because of fear and doubt that it took me so long to do this book," the author recounts, "but the Lord God, with the help of His Holy Spirit, has removed that fear and doubt and has given me the courage, knowledge, and wisdom to come up with a way to deliver this to the people." |

Pepin on the Fast Track to Becoming a Household Name
As a 2008 candidate for the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award, Ricki Pepin's God's Health Plan Ð the Audacious Journey to a Better Life has been enjoying a strong measure of success in the media. Recently, Pepin sat down with Chris Grindrod of WEEC Report during a radio interview in December. The interview discussed her son's debilitating sickness and the spiritual journey she undertook in order to help him; it also announced Pepin's book signing at Logos Christian Bookstore in Springfield, Ohio. Additionally, Bill Gothard, the famed Christian speaker and writer, has committed to using her book as part of the curriculum for his week-long seminar titled "Total Health," an event anticipated to have between 100-200 participants. The recent plethora of news coverage has shed light on a timely, relevant topic: the overmedicating of AmericaÕs youth and how better to understand our God-designed bodies. After 12 years of witnessing a disabling, undiagnosed sickness take over her son's life, Pepin had all but lost hope. She began her own research to find relief for her child, unaware that health encompasses not just diet, but lifestyle choices, medical decisions, and environmental issues. The solution to her son's dilemma came through prayer, study, and application of seven biblical principles. |
