Book Details: Book Title: And She Was Never the Same Again: A Multigenerational Memoir by Natasha Pryde Trujillo Ph.D. Category: Adult Non-Fiction 18 yrs +, 285 pages Genre: Multigenerational Memoir Publisher: Violet Echoes Press Release date: April, 2024 Format available for review: print-softback (USA only), ebook (EPUB and PDF) (internationally) Tour dates: June 10 to June 28, 2024 Content Rating: PG-13: discusses trauma, near-death experiences, grief
Book Description:
And She Was Never the Same Again is about you. It is about your family and your friends, everyone you've ever met, and all the strangers you have yet to meet. It takes you on a journey of gains and losses that stretch generations, cultures, identities, and decades of time. It awakens you to the inevitable and makes you look at things most people want to avoid seeing. It explores near-death experiences; medical, individual, and intergenerational trauma; the stigmatized death of a partner; perfectionism; athletics; first loves; and the gaping holes that become permanent fixtures within us when those we love the most die. You will feel, you will learn, you will grown, and you will never be the same again.
Meet the Author:
Dr. Trujillo is a counseling and sport psychologist, consultant, educator, author, and human. Labels don’t make her better or worse-equipped to deal with inevitable grief throughout life. She’s passionate about the power of storytelling and wanted to illustrate nuanced ways we cope with grief. Like you, she’s had losses and decided risking vulnerability may encourage others to redefine relationships with loss to live more holistic and intentional lives. She hopes this limited collection of stories can build the realization that there’s no “right” way to grieve. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ goodreads

Book Details: Book Title: Happy Harry: A Magical Golden by Barbara Lampert Category: Adult Non-Fiction 18 yrs +, 318 pages Genre: Dog Memoir Publisher: Golden Wolf Books Release date: November, 2023 Format available for review: print (print - softback / USA and Canada) and ebook (EPUB and PDF) available for review. Tour dates: June 4 to June 24, 2024 Content Rating: G: My book is perfectly fit for general audiences from young adults up to seniors. "Nobody who loves dogs will be able to resist your book! A magnificent love story!" - Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, international bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and When Elephants Weep. "Everyone loves Golden Retrievers, or at least they should. But what sets Barbara Lampert apart is not just that she is over-the-top crazy about Goldens, but that she writes so beautifully about them. Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is a wonderful love letter to the greatest creatures on the planet." - David Rosenfelt, national bestselling and award-winning author of Dogtripping and Leader of the Pack Book Description: In her dog memoir Happy Harry: A Magical Golden, author and psychotherapist Barbara Lampert, a lifelong dog lover, tells the true story of her beloved Golden Retriever, Harry. Like her first dog memoir, Harry’s story comes from her mostly uncensored daily journal and takes place in Malibu, California. Harry was a genuinely free spirit – wild, and very wolf-like. Did all this contribute to his being exceptionally happy? Perhaps. Harry was not only the happiest being Barbara’s ever known, happy to the very core of him, but also the bravest. More than once in his life, Harry had to face true adversity, and each time, Barbara would look at him in wonder, not fully understanding how a being could be so brave and at the same time continue to be so happy. Harry literally pranced through life, with a joyous attitude that made being around him like magic. Meet the Author: My passion is dogs! I’ve had dogs most of my life and hope to have at least one by my side always. Dog energy is the best! I’m a psychotherapist, licensed for over thirty years as a Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in relationships. I’m also an author. Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is my second dog memoir. My first is Charlie: A Love Story. Both about two of my Golden Retrievers. (See, I told you that dogs are my passion!) Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a flight attendant for United Airlines for nine years. I also acquired two masters degrees and a doctorate. And taught sociology at a number of universities. Gardening is another love of mine (Not as much as dogs but right up there!). I see my garden as a work of art and garden as much as possible in my free time. I love being in nature. The miracle of growth, the changing landscape, the beauty. I live in Malibu, California with my husband David and, you guessed it, our two wonderful Golden Retrievers, Oliver and Henry.

Book Details: Book Title: Undomesticated Women, Anecdotal Evidence from the Road by Anna Blake Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 325 pages Genre: Travel Memoir Publisher: Prairie Moon Press Release date: Oct 2023 Formats Available for Review: print-paperback (USA only), ebook (EPUB, PDF) Tour dates: Jan 15 to Feb 26, 2024 Content Rating: PG. oblique mention of dysfunctional family, no sex, drugs, etc
Book Description:
Welcome to our year of living compactly. My dog, Mister, and I took to the road pulling our A-frame trailer, the Rollin’ Rancho. I’m a traveling horse trainer/clinician, who became a non-essential worker during the COVID-19 lockdown. Then, in 2022, we bounced back. We were nomads looking for horse training adventure and liver treats. Work paid for the trip; it was part clinic tour, part travelogue, part squirrel hunt. But mostly an unapologetic celebration of sunsets, horses, RV parks, roadkill, diverse landscapes, and undomesticated women. It’s a book made of made of adjectives and nouns, blue skies and tornado watches, resorts and reservations, open roads to the horizon, and one-lane dead-ends. We emerge from the truck in a cloud of dog hair and sunflower shells, like disoriented and scruffy rock stars in a GPS haze, not entirely lost or found. This book isn’t about training, although there are horses in it. It’s a follow-up of Stable Relation, my first book, but my life changed in ways I would never have guessed, so don’t expect the usual sequel. Undomesticated Women is a travel memoir, a peek behind the curtains of what my job is like. I wanted to see this beautiful country, do some time travel, and explore thoughts and memories now that I’ve become a gray mare. Mister would tell you it’s his memoir about being tasked with the unreasonable job of guarding me against a wild range of dangers. Like eating dinner late.
Meet the Author:
I’m an animal advocate, award-winning author, solo RV traveler, old-school feminist, dog companion, unabashed lover of sunsets, and professional horse trainer/clinician. I’m sixty-nine years old. I’ve done just about everything and done it well. No longer auditioning. My books include: Stable Relation, A memoir of one woman’s spirited journey home. Relaxed & Forward: Relationship advice from your horse. Barn Dance, Nickers, brays, bleats, howls, and quacks: Tales from the herd. Horse Prayers, Poems from the prairie. Going Steady, More relationship advice from your horse. Horse. Woman. Poems from our lives. Undomesticated Women: Anecdotal Evidence from the Road I was born in Cavalier County, North Dakota, in 1954, the youngest daughter in a farm family. Now I live at Infinity Farm, on the flat, windy, treeless prairie of Colorado with a herd of reprobates, raconteurs, and our moral compass, Edgar Rice Burro. Previously, I was a self-employed goldsmith, showing one-of-a-kind artwork in galleries from coast to coast. My Denver studio and gallery was shared with generations of good dogs. Early writing included a few screenplays, one of which was produced independently, and articles for several periodicals. Every Friday since 2010, I have posted an unconventional and popular blog about life on the farm and horse training. My unique perspective combines Calming Signals and Affirmative Training for a special method of understanding, training, and respecting animals. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ goodreads

in August! 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
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
