NEXUS Press Release

Deborah Morrison & Arvind Singh from Ontario, Canada explore their gifts as novelists through a captivating book called NEXUS. Deborah has previously written a book of poetry called Mystical Poetry, and she has published many articles on health and spirituality. Arvind has published a number of articles on spiritual and philosophical thought both in English and South Asian languages and this is his first book.

NEXUS is an amazing spiritual adventure of Personal Transformation & Empowerment. Readers have described it as Insightful, Captivating and Inspirational. It builds on the experiences of both authors as teachers of relaxation, breath and yoga therapies. Through a poignant journey to a retreat, each person in the novel is looking to overcome personal pain including the main character, Logan Andrews.

Logan, a journalist in his mid-20s, struggles with depression to the point of suicide. Can he control his troubled mind before its too late?

In a vivid dream, Logan is guided to a spiritual retreat where he meets his lost love, Sarah, along with an arrogant millionaire, a grandmotherly woman and two insightful teachers.

Problems soon emerge for Logan and others at the retreat. What happens to each character and the depth of their personal experiences makes NEXUS a journey of transformation and a compelling read.

I’ve read many spiritual books but this one succeeds where others fail. It successfully combines a poignant story fraught with true human emotions of personal pain along with remarkable spiritual insights. James Bertrand

Nexus made me laugh and it made me cry. The story touched on many issues that I have struggled with in my own life and it gave practical advice on transforming my life. Its perfect for anyone looking for an Inspiring, Spiritual book filled with practical wisdom. Harpal Singh Khalsa.

A simple story with a simple message, Nexus invites you in to explore the characters’ thoughts and feelings along side your own. Nancy Noble

This book is totally amazing!!! It works like a dream at a subconscious level of understanding even if consciously you’re unaware of its full spiritual dimensions. Aaron

Media Kit

Today I had created a Media/Press Kit for NEXUS to send to “Fine Print” show. Their web address is http://www.rogerstelevision.com/option.asp?lid=12&rid=16&sid=265.

I was impressed by the show host, Carolyn Weaver, who was engaged and intelligent in her interviews with guests, which is why I have asked for an interview for Debby and I on her show. Of course, they get many such requests by authors and publishers. So we’re not guaranteed an interview.

In case anyone is wondering what exactly is a Media Kit. A Media Kit is basically a package you send to media outlets about you and your book. The idea is to promote your book to the media. A typical Media Kit can contain any of the following:

1 . A personalized cover letter. Much like what you send to a employer except this is about you and your book

2. Relevant press releases & clippings including articles or interviews

3. Author bio-sheet: What’s so interesting about you?
4. Samples questions and answers

5. Fact or sell sheet, which contains basic info about your book

6. Any marketing material

7. Schedule of appearances, events or book signings

8. Author potrait photo(s) including any from events

9. Review copy of your book, sample chapters, or you can ask them to request a review copy if you’re uncertain whether they want it

Most Media/Press kits will be prepared by your publisher but I believe it’s good for an author to be involved in the promotions. Debby and I have a good relationship with our publisher. So we’re able to work well with him.
