FEATURE BOOK
Prarie Pulse
by Lauraine
Saretsky
This collection of poetry carries a gentle expression of Lauraine’s passion for nature, for relationships – to others, to the earth, and to the sacred – as well as emotions that identify with and release the multi-layered and sometimes ominous side of nature. Nature has always carried a central place for her in her daily life, calling her back to the present moment, and contributing to peace of mind and inspiration.
At the core of Lauraine’s poetry is an invitation to ‘walk gently’, and that in encountering nature, people and the environment, one is touching holy ground. The beauty and diversity of the seasons as they encounter the prairie landscape and its gift of simplicity and stillness breathes a Presence that is enough.
Price is $10.00 at Firstchoicebooks.ca |

 Poetry
Canada and the Canadian Federation of Poets
Greeting everyone I just wanted to remind you that the latest edition of
Poetry Canada has gone out, and the high profile interview with Daphne
Rose Kingma, six times on Oprah and over 1,000,000 copies sold of her
books in this edition has already received massive feedback.
Hope for poets, and acknowledgement for members that you are in one of
the most progressive poetry organizations whose profile is continuously
rising.
I will be away most of March with my speaking engagements in Australia,
but you will have your latest copy of Poetry Canada to keep you company,
and ten anthologies to submit to. With over 1000 poets we should
have hundreds of submissions for every edition. If you have dreamed of
getting more publishing credits in one year than your entire life
- this is what could happen.
With increased recognition of Poetry Canada our next interview
will be just as impressive for the next edition. He has appeared on The
Tonight Show six times, CBC, Comedy Now, Montreal Comedy Festival, Mike
Bullard show, and is a poet with a brand new book out. Look for this
exciting reveal in our next edition of Poetry Canada. This is a magazine
subscription that Canadian Federation of Poets members currently get
included in your membership.

SQUIDOO
MARKETING TOOL
Squidoo, is that a funny
name or what? Who would have thought this peculiar name
would become an easy to create tool for marketing online.
Mastering Squidoo can make a huge difference in the promotion of
your books or your endeavours.
Squidoo is like a baby blog, only you create what is called a
lens - which really just means a one page site that targets a
specific keyword, including your name.
1. Go to: www.Squidoo.com
As an example - to get a feel for the elements, here is a look
at a Squidoo Lens I created.
Internet Marketing Squidoo
It is effective, easy to do, and really helps
with your web traffic and rankings. Many new users are raving about
rankings they are getting in Google, because of their Squidoo
Lens.
So here is a bit about the background, now that you have seen
what one looks like:
1. They are as easy to create as a Blog
2. They allow you to focus (hence the term lens) on a specific
topic
3. You create a page by 'Adding Modules'. Add a title for the
module, just like a blog post, and then type in the body.
Modules are like sections.
4. Popular modules are Amazon, RSS (your blog), Pictures,
Guestbook, YouTube, and a generic post area.
5. Like a blog, you can earn money with Adsense. In the case of
Squidoo, they add it for you, but you split the income. But,
they know how to do it probably better than you do.
6. Tighter more adhesive community. Has the feel of a YouTube.
Try it - it can't hurt, and you can't screw up anything if the
lens doesn't work, plus they have a full SquidooU - University if
you really want to go for it. Sites like this make
the difference between selling books, and having a book.
