Book Details: Book Title: Creating Stories by Hank Quense Category: Adult Non-Fiction, 106 pages Genre: Self Help, Publisher: Strange Worlds Publishing Release date: April 1, 2017 Format available for review: e-book (MOBI FILE (FOR KINDLE), EPUB, PDF) Tour dates: Sep 25 to Oct 12 Content Rating: G
Book Description:
Do you have a story in you? Do you know how to write it or how to tell it? Creating Stories has the answers. Hank Quense, the author of more than twenty books, tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. Creating Stories covers the last two. The book concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion and the character's biography. Plots are also covered in depth and a number of graphics are included to illustrate complex points. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot. A separate chapter discusses the relationship between the plot and the emotional arcs. Other topics covered are: character arcs, scene design, point-of-view, writing voice.

This is not only a technique for wrinkles and sagging muscles, but a means of prevention as well.
Book Excerpt - Take 10 Years Off!
Book Excerpt - FACE FITNESS TAKE 10 YEARS OFF Face Fitness is a natural face lift that can take ten years off your face. All it takes is ten minutes a day to retain or regain a fresh, healthy and younger looking face. While travelling in India I crossed paths with an amazing seventy-eight year-old woman who taught me that our genes are not our destiny and that the way our faces age is literally in our hands. The day she took my hands and clasped them in her own, I knew she would teach me something that would stay with me forever. What this learned woman shared with me was an ancient Indian treatment that dates back several thousands of years. Having been passed down through her family, it told a story of ancient wisdom steeped in a true understanding of the human form and how to maintain a youthful appearance by keeping the facial muscles fit and skin firm. This is why I called this program Face Fitness! What I will show you is a powerful and genuine alternative to a surgical face lift that gets results without the $30,000 price tag. It will help you retain and regain a vibrant face without nipping, tucking, sucking and plucking the skin or the facial muscles. Face Fitness will show you how to: • Drain toxins that age the skin • Prevent and reduce wrinkles without anaesthetic • Sculpt and reshape the face without pain • Minimise lines around the mouth without collagen • Lift sagging skin without stitches • Reduce crow’s feet and the folds in the upper and lower eyelids without a surgeon • Minimise a double chin without cutting • Tighten jowls and loose skin on the neck without the expense • Plump up hollow cheeks without face fillers • Oxygenate the blood to give your skin a lasting healthy glow as well as • How to eat your way to great skin with the 5 Day Skin Firming Diet Face Fitness is about conditioning the face in a way that will naturally outlast any surgical face lift or artificial face fillers. This is not only a correction technique for wrinkles and sagging muscles, but a means of prevention as well. Since learning these techniques I have practised them daily and used them in my career for many years.There is no doubt that if practised consistently this program will not only improve tone, but the overall look of the face. In a time where so much emphasis is placed on the way we look, where we have all experienced the mental anxiety that sits on our faces, we need a way to keep our faces fresh and healthy, and our minds calm as we journey through the world. A key part of taking the pressure off comes from understanding that while we all want to look as good as we can for as long as we can, in truth we touch people in a very small way with our looks. Mostly we touch them through acts of kindness and the sharing of our humanity. My personal philosophy on B.E.A.U.T.Y. is… Balance in our life unfolds from the inside out. Enthusiasm lies within the way we think and feel about ourselves. Acceptance is the path to making peace with ourselves and others. Understanding ourselves gives us clarity and wisdom to know what we want, and importantly, what we don’t. Trust attunes our heart and mind so we can nurture spontaneity and adventure in our lives, and see that… You have what it takes to create the life and love you know you deserve and to never settle for anything less. As you read this book and start to incorporate the techniques into your daily life you will see clearly that our faces tell the story of our feelings. Looking good is about feeling good and maintaining healthy skin inside and out is a big part of that. Learning to understand the connection between how we look after our faces and how we think (stress) helps us discover our own path to an energised, vibrant and healthful face. For when we let go of the stressful thoughts and feelings, we give ourselves a natural face lift; as self belief will out-do, out perform and outlast plastic surgery, botox, and restylane face fillers every time. We cultivate beauty by remembering our humanness and our goodness, and celebrating the best in ourselves and others. - Gregory Landsman

Book Excerpt:
Book Excerpt - FACE VALUE The simple do-it-yourself treatments in Face Value target our greatest skin concerns such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving firmness and elasticity and protecting skin from damaging free radicals.) Every formula contains high doses of the most powerful ingredients such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Retin A and potent antioxidants used in the most expensive creams on the market.) All are touted as anti-aging, stimulating skin cell regeneration and improving the texture of your skin. The good news is that most of it can be found in your own kitchen!) In more than 30 years of dealing with faces every day, I worked across the globe in the fashion and beauty industry. I could see that the daily stresses of life show up on our faces, and have a profound effect on the way skin visibly ages, even on supermodels.) With this in mind I put together Face Value; a complete skincare manual that offers real solutions and real choices that really work! Each of these treatments have been tried and tested by people from the four corners of the world and I have used them in my career for years with great success.) Whether it is a treatment full of firming and plumping hydrators or smoothing exfoliators, these formulas will feed your skin from the outside in, restoring radiance and stimulating collagen production. With Face Value you can create a personalised plan for the issues that concern you most; whether it is saying ‘bye bye’ to age spots, fine lines, blemishes, sun damaged skin or uneven pigmentation.) Without a doubt our faces say so much more about us than what we look like. They are a pure reflection of our health, vitality and spirit. Through my years of experience in the fashion industry. I have come to believe that B.E.A.U.T.Y. is based on the principles of … Balance, Enthusiasm, Acceptance, Understanding,Trust & You I believe that: Balance in our lives unfolds from the inside out. Enthusiasm lies within the way we think and feel about ourselves. Acceptance is the path to making peace with ourselves and others. Understanding ourselves gives us clarity and wisdom to know what we want, and importantly, what we don’t. Trust attunes our heart and mind so we can nurture spontaneity and adventure in our lives, and know that… You have what it takes to create the life and love you know you deserve and to never settle for anything less. I took every photograph in this book as an expression of my belief that as in nature, where every flower is different from the next, we are a living embodiment that beauty is individual. While Face Value is about learning to nurture your face and your body with great natural products that work, it is also about knowing that the beauty we find outside ourselves is a very small aspect of what lies within. I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with people who have helped me understand this; each in their own way showing me that the essence of our beauty lies not in our physical characteristics alone, but in the heart of our character. While I have seen supermodels in Paris dressed in Chanel and women in India dressed in rags, the one truth that reveals their beauty, regardless of who they are, is the truth of their smile. So whether you are indulging in a skin rejuvenating bath or giving yourself a three-minute facial – Enjoy! After all, B.E.A.U.T.Y. is about good living and great loving, it is about feeling more, healing more, living more and loving more. “You are whole and beautiful for no other reason than you are human.” - Gregory Landsman

Their well-organized tours provide impactful blog features, reviews, and social media buzz that go beyond expectations. For a book tour that truly makes a difference, iRead is the way to go!
- Keri-Rae Barnum, Book Marketing Expert, New Shelves Books Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
