Big Fat Disaster named as a “Compassionate Novel for Teens Who Have Always Felt Different”!

Hey, guys, Ezvid Wiki, who named my novel, Big Fat Disaster, as a “Compassionate Novel for Teens Who Have Always Felt Different,” requested that I link to the video they made for my book and others. I updated my Awards & Reviews page, if you’d like to check out the “Compassionate Novels” video and read a little about my work. 🙂 Here’s the link to that page: http://bethfehlbaumbooks.info/awards-reviews/

COOLEST. THING. EVER.

    The tiny Creative Writing Club at my school, in conjunction with support from an educational foundation grant & support from colleagues, has produced an Anthology of writing & art. I am as proud of this book as of the 5 books I’ve written myself. It’s beautiful.

    In fact, I have submitted a proposal for presentation at an event in Texas, the topic being how our school produced the book, and how my background as a teen author bent on authentic writing came in very handy.

    Energized.

    4 books for the price of 1. Don’t miss out! Books will arrive in time for gift giving!

    Now it’s getting real: Trauma Recovery: Sessions with Dr. Matt–Narratives of Hope and Resilience for Victims with PTSD–releases ONE WEEK from today. This book was an honor to co-write with Matt Jaremko, and the finished product is a beautiful offer of hope to hurting people. I’m very proud of it and I want to share a gift of hope with as many people as possible, so I’ve been running an offer that essentially equals readers who preorder the book getting it for roughly 8.00 instead of the full price, because you are getting 4 books for the price of 1! Or, if preordering the ebook, readers actually come out on the positive side if you want print editions of The Trilogy (U.S. readers receive their choice of print or ebook; international readers can get the Patience ebooks free).
    How, you ask? I’ll send readers signed print copies of my complete Patience Trilogy, valued (with shipping), at roughly 30.00. These are the books the “real” Dr. Matt, Matt Jaremko, suggested I try writing as I went through my own trauma recovery with him as my guide. The Patience Trilogy books introduced the characters of Dr. Matt & Ashley to the world–and they’re sort of like companion books to Trauma Recovery: Sessions with Dr. Matt, although we expanded Dr. Matt and Ashley’s world to include several other trauma survivors as members of a therapy group that Ashley attends, as well as teach about trauma recovery along the way.
    This offer means The Patience Trilogy is absolutely free to those who preorder Trauma Recovery: Sessions with Dr. Matt, and you’ll get them in time for holiday gift-giving. It’s my way of thanking those who support us early on, as well as helping readers get the inside story of the deep therapeutic bond between these characters.
    There’s one catch: with each day closer to release date, I DECREASE the # of readers I’ll send a free set of The Patience Trilogy. After the announcement posts today on our Facebook page, Matt E. Jaremko, only 7 sets of Trilogies will be awarded to the first 7 people who email proof of preorder by 11:59 PM tonight (while supplies last).
    The announcement of just 7 days to go will post around 1 PM Central Time (US) today, but since it’s the holiday season, I’ll be extra generous: the first 8 people who send proof of preorder before the announcement posts today will receive The Patience Trilogy, absolutely free, and an additional 7 readers will still have a chance at the free Trilogy after the announcement posts. Don’t miss out! Trauma Recovery: Sessions with Dr. Matt is a book for trauma survivors, those who love them and wish a greater understanding of how to support them, and mental health professionals.
    For details on how to submit proof of preorder, visit http://drmattbookblog.com and read any of the announcements of this offer.
