The Literary Corner Addresses a Surprise Treatment for Common Conditions

The Virtuous Women interview author Eugen Oetringer of the Netherlands

Denver, CO, January 14, 2007 --(PR.COM)-- Join Ms. Bettye Jamerson and Dr. Taffy Wagner, hosts of the Literary Corner podcast, for the week of Monday January 15, 2007 to learn more about an uncommon treatment for dyslexia, headaches, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, and other conditions. Eugen Oetringer hails from the Netherlands and is the author of “Surprise Treatment for Dyslexia, ADHD, Headaches and Other Conditions.”

Oetringer, whose background is in information management, has a son who suffered with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and Dyslexia. When traditional medical treatment was not getting the results Eugen and his wife wanted, they began to seek alternative treatment. Oetringer felt the out-of-pocket expense for alternative treatment was worth the investment for his son and he discusses the different therapies they tried to treat his ADHD and Dyslexia. “Because the treatments – the alternative ones - are not scientifically proven, those who want to undergo them have to take the costs,” he says “and that’s one of the things I, of course, want to get changed.”

Eugen also talks about the treatment he underwent himself for his eye-focusing problem. Later in the hour, Bettye and Dr. Taffy chat about the necessity and importance of research to learn about the possible side effects of treatment for an illness or condition. “I think whether you get treatment traditionally, or you get alternative therapy, you need to make sure that you weigh all the side effects beforehand,” comments Dr. Wagner.

Dr. Taffy Wagner and Ms. Bettye Jamerson are published authors and public speakers. The have a wealth of experience in the publishing and promotion arena. Dr. Wagner is the author of 'Debt Dilemma' and ‘Homebuyer’s Helper’. Ms. Jamerson is the author of 'Love: The Greatest Choice of All', and 'For the Love of Beulah: Finding your Purpose in Life'.

The Literary Corner Hosts Interview Child Abuse Survivor

2006-11-20T15:44:00.000-08:00

Join ‘The Virtuous Women’, Dr. Taffy Wagner and Ms. Bettye Jamerson, co-hosts of the Literary Corner podcast, this Monday, November 20, 2006 for a powerful interview with author Charity Gustovic as she recounts how her faith in God brought her out of depression and torment after being abused as a child. Later in the hour the show hosts talk about author promotion and the power of speaking from your personal experience.

Author Charity Gustovic offers child abuse survivors hope and the key to healing in her book ‘I Can Do All Things through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me’. Charity wrote the book, not from the position of an authority figure on the topic of abuse, but from her personal experience as a victim of sexual molestation who survived it and found healing through her relationship with God.

“You know I had a struggle with myself. Because for twenty-seven years, you know, I had myself convinced that at times I was doing all right on my own. Then all in one moment I was shown that I wasn’t doing okay at all…,” comments Gustovic. Ms. Gustovic speaks to her audience through her poetry and addresses the pain, anger, confusion, and sense of abandonment she felt growing up and how she came to find healing as an adult.

Later in the show the Virtuous Women switch gears to discuss low-cost methods non-fiction authors can use to promote themselves online and offline to create awareness and position themselves experts in their field.

Dr. Taffy Wagner and Ms. Bettye Jamerson are published authors and public speakers. The have a wealth of experience in the publishing and promotion arena. Ms. Jamerson is the author of 'Love: The Greatest Choice of All', and 'For the Love of Beulah: Finding your Purpose in Life'. Dr. Wagner is the author of 'Debt Dilemma' and ‘Homebuyer’s Helper’.

Public Speaking

2006-11-15T18:04:00.000-08:00

Join ‘The Virtuous Women’, Dr. Taffy Wagner and Ms. Bettye Jamerson, co-hosts of the Literary Corner podcast, this Monday, November 13, 2006 to learn about the importance of communicating effectively to an audience as a speaker.

Non-fiction authors need to think of themselves beyond the scope of just being a writer. “When you write that first book you need to think in terms of being an expert that will teach workshops and seminars, and make speeches. You are a speaker as well as an author,” comments Dr. Taffy Wagner.

There are many things to keep in mind when making a speech or presentation. One’s facial expressions and voice tone need to complement and work in concert to present unity between the speaker and their message. “You need to be very aware of the non-verbal messages and signals that you are sending while you speak,” comments Ms. Jamerson, “it is a good idea to practice speaking in front of a mirror or even video tape yourself speaking so you can see how you come across to an audience.”

Becoming An Expert --- Going to the Next Level

2006-11-06T18:16:00.000-08:00

“Non-fiction authors may be very surprised to hear that they have already completed the first step in becoming established as an expert on their topic,” comments Dr. Wagner, “and that is to write and publish a book!” Dr. Wagner points out that a non-fiction author must research her topic thoroughly before she writes the book and going through the preparation and research process establishes her knowledge base above the average person.

As a new non-fiction author, you must understand that you are an expert in your field and accepting that title for yourself will catapult you to your next level of success. Tune in to the Literary Corner to gain valuable tips on how to market yourself as an expert.

Author Brand Identity is Paramount to Success

2006-10-30T16:15:00.000-08:00

Literary Corner podcast hosts take their listeners through the necessary steps of non-fiction author branding and host a live follow-up teleconference for non-fiction authors.

Join Ms. Bettye Jamerson and Dr. Taffy Wagner, co-hosts of the Literary Corner podcast, this Monday, October 30, 2006 as they discuss the importance of creating a brand identity for non-fiction authors.

“Oftentimes, when people hear the word branding, their minds immediately go to big business,” comments Ms. Jamerson, “but what we want non-fiction authors to realize is that branding is for all levels of business – and as an author you are in business for yourself. A solid brand identity translates to increased author name recognition, which translates into increased book sales.”

Dr. Wagner agrees. “When a non-fiction author brands himself, he is establishing himself as an expert in his field and he is establishing a relationship of comfort, trust, and emotional connection with his target audience by conveying his values, his purpose, and his vision through his writing,” she says.

The Literary Corner hosts also talk about being ready for media inquiries and interviews, the importance of committing oneself to their message, having the courage to remain steadfast in that message, and the necessity to challenge oneself to grow and improve in their area of expertise.

“After listeners have tuned in to this week’s show, they can participate in a free, thirty-five minute, author branding teleconference call on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 11:00am MST,” comments Dr. Wagner.

*Testimonials*

"My name is Gazelle Simmons and I have just been through four of the seminars offered by Bettye J. Jamerson and Dr. Taffy W. Wagner. I have been moved, motivated and spiritually stimulated by these ladies.

On August 9th, their seminars were dedicated to Single Moms/Work At Home Moms regarding Managing Money, Finding Purpose and Communication in Business Relationships.

On August 10th, their seminars were dedicated to Christian Women regarding Finding your Purpose and Character Building.

I truly enjoyed all of these seminars and learned so much from them. I was so impressed with the first seminar I came back for all the others. I can't wait to see what's coming in the future from these motivated, gifted and intelligent women and the Virtual Woman Tour. Take care and God bless."
