It’s a WIN for Everybody!
I have to say it was a real red-letter day for me when I learned my audio book was chosen for a GOLD Nautilus Book Award. When the awards committee chair invited me to New York for the Award Announcements, another blessing fell into my lap. I’d already booked my flight to New Jersey to attend a family wedding – taking place just a few days before they wanted me at Book Expo America at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. The timing was perfect! Synchronicity strikes again!
There’s more to this timing story, but first let me tell you a bit about the Nautilus Book Awards. This award recognizes books, audio books and e-books that promote spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change and, at the same time, stimulate the imagination and offer readers new possibilities for a better life and a better world.
The Nautilus Book Awards Silver and Gold Winners are selected in a unique three-tier judging process by experienced teams of book reviewers, librarians, authors, editors, book store owners and leaders in the publishing industry. They are charged with looking for “distinguished literary and heartfelt contributions to spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, green values, responsible leadership and positive social change.”
A short list of some of the other authors who have received a GOLD Nautilus Book Award includes Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Carolyn Myss and Eckert Tolle, and I’m honored to be included in such a group.
Funny how things work. When the Nautilus Award folks contacted me to say my 3-CD audio book was nominated, I was knee-deep into designing a new cover for it – and giving it a new TITLE! Why? It was an inspiration that came to me when I completed my morning meditation one day – that the original title, “The Secret Method for Growing Younger”, just didn’t feel quite right. “THINK and GROW YOUNG – Powerful Steps to Create a Life of Joy” seems to have just the right vibration or frequency or whatever you call it.
I immediately asked the Nautilus committee if the change in title and packaging would affect my consideration for the award and found it would not. Whew! It did spur me to speed up the production process, however – all in all, a good thing!
So with lovely new, eco-friendly packaging (no plastic!) for the second edition of the audio book, it occurred to me that I still had an inventory of the original title – both in audio and soft cover print. Now, with new, improved covers and better title, what should I do with the old title/old cover books? The answer came: offer all of you a big discount – and hold a huge Inventory Reduction Sale!
To celebrate my Gold Nautilus Book Award, I am offering all the earlier editions with the title The Secret Method for Growing Younger at 50% off! The content is the same, and I’m thinking perhaps the sale prices will encourage my readers to stock up for gift-giving. And…trite but true: supplies are limited.
Whether you’re reading – or listening to me read – Think and Grow Young or The Secret Method for Growing Younger, the message is the same – and it’s the message I so want to get out to the world: we CAN reverse aging and grow younger – in our minds, spirits and bodies. I hope you’ll help me spread the word.
Joy and Blessings,
Ellen
