See Bride Run!: (Romantic Comedy) by Charlotte Hughes 

Atlanta’s billionaire heiress Annie Hartford has been under her father’s thumb her entire life. At 29, he is now forcing her to marry a man she doesn’t love in front of 600 guests. With only moments to spare, she hijacks the family limo, which breaks down in small town Pinckney, Georgia. Annie, who has never wanted for anything, suddenly finds herself homeless, penniless, and with only the clothes on her back: a designer wedding gown and diamond tiara.

There she meets small town lawyer and restaurant owner Sam Ballard. Unlucky in love, the last thing Sam needs is a red-hot waitress who seems hell-bent on breaking every dish in his Dixieland Café. Still, he can’t very well fire her; she has already won the hearts of everyone in town.

After a lifetime of riches, can Annie find happiness in a garage apartment, second-hand clothes, and making her way around town on a borrowed bicycle? And how can Sam be certain that Annie won’t run home to daddy when her new life presents one obstacle after another?

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert

Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.
       

This book is the culmination of his life's work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward in their approach, yet profound in their effect, these principles teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work. Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. Being thoughtful about ordinary matters provides spouses with a solid foundation for resolving conflict when it does occur and finding strategies for living with those issues that cannot be resolved.
       
Packed with questionnaires and exercises whose effectiveness has been proven in Dr. Gottman's workshops, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the result of Dr. John Gottman's many years of closely observing thousands of marriages. This kind of longitudinal research has never been done before. Based on his findings, he has culled seven principles essential to the success of any marriage.
Maintain a love map.
Foster fondness and admiration.
Turn toward instead of away.
Accept influence.
Solve solvable conflicts.
Cope with conflicts you can't resolve.
Create shared meaning.

Dr. Gottman's unique questionnaires and exercises will guide couples on the road to revitalizing their marriage, or making a strong one even better.

Jeff Bezos - The New Indie Author looking for readers just like any ordinary indie author

Whatever he is up to, we all know it is going to affect the way books are written or read!

In an experiment dubbed “The ordinary indie”, Jeff Bezos the Amazon guru has published a book as a completely new Indie Author, perhaps to see the world through their eyes.

Many indie authors cannot afford to pay for a professional editor, advertising and marketing to get their books far and wide in a short space of time...  

...And this is what the multi-billionaire has done: instead of taking advantage of his billions and of course his platform as the founder of Kindle Direct Publishing, CEO Jeff Bezos has written and published two books in a series that give a limelight to readers of books. He basically showcases reader reviews on random bestselling books on amazon.

And what does this have to do with authors, bloggers and business owners? Everything!

The books are really "no big deal'' type of books in every way. The book covers are self-made, there are no pre-release reviews, there are no big names endorsing the books. Literary, the books look nothing more than what a stay-at-home mom or dad, or a less than $25 000.00 per year person can produce, with minimal help. 

What is he up to? Nobody really knows, except that he is cooking something and it will probably change the Kindle Direct Publishing world for the good or worse for some indie authors who have been complaining about the publishing wing being too harsh in dealing with them.

As of this day (August 6, 2015), the CEO has published two books in the series:

1. A. J. Banner: The Good Neighbor (Readers Spotlight Series Book one)

2. Paula Hawkins': The Girl on the Train: A Novel (Readers Spotlight Series Book Two)

A few “clever” authors, bloggers and business owners are taking advantage of this venture and have started changing the pen names they use as reviewers on amazon to their author name(s), book titles, blog titles and business names, in an attempt that should their review be picked for publication, their business is automatically marketed for free!

When a review is picked, it features the reviewers name as seen on the amazon product reviews. Readers who purchase the book on amazon and a few other retailers will obviously have that information at hand. 

The biggest surprise has been that the books are also available at some of the retailers competitors; Barns and Nobel, ibooks, Kobo and a few others. They are not in Kindle Unlimited!

Indie Book Spotlight: Unbreak Your Marriage: Reconnect Your Relationship In 31 Days - Women's Guide

Simple Ideas, Radical Love Ripples

At some point in any meaningful marriage, we can forget our priorities and take each other for granted. When our lives are run by busy schedules, deadlines and long days, expressing love becomes more of burden instead of being part of who we are as lovers.

We forget the companionship of marriage and soon become roommates if not strangers to one another. As frustration builds, we start treat our loved ones as our enemies, because then they “would have” shifted from being our friend to becoming the source of our pain.

Excerpt

When your marriage has become the source of your pain and when you regret having ever met your spouse, your life is under real fire! Your marriage is a significant part of your life and it has the power to affect and infect all other aspects of your life.
Since the first publication of ‘Unbreak Your Marriage: Reconnect Your Marriage In 31 Days – Workbook’ in November 2013, I have had an overwhelming response from people all over the world. I have connected with many men and women whose marriages had become their source of pain and it was because of their feedback that I was prompted to edit that publication, expand it and produce this publication, Unbreak Your Marriage: Reconnect Your Relationship In 31 Days - Women’s Guide, to help you get more clarity and courage to restore love and heal your relationship.
Using the simple intervention principles in this book, you will be able to “see” your underlying relationship problems that are driving your emotional and behavioral symptoms. Rather than point fingers and assign blame for having a bad marriage or wondering why you married the wrong person, you will be able to more clearly understand the origins of your struggles and better address your challenges with targeted, more effective strategy.

What’s it like to be your husband?

It is easier to assume that you know how your partner thinks and feels. Switching roles can sometimes work wonders. 

When having a disagreement and you are wondering why your partner is so blind to your wants and needs, try switching roles. 

You could say to your partner; “I am trying really hard to understand your angle but I am failing. Perhaps if we change places, I could better understand what you mean.” At that time switch places, physically. Then ask your spouse to be you while you are him in the discussion. Tell your partner to try and use the exact words and tone or pitch of voice that you used, and you do the same. 

Discuss whatever you were discussing in this switched mode. If used properly, this technique can be phenomenal.
