Scottsdale Publisher and Scottsdale Author Launch When Angels Call Your Name

February 18, 2011 by Patricia Brooks

Scottsdale Author and Scottsdale Publisher launch

When Angels Call your Name

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, February, 2011 – To find hope in our creativity is the ultimate satisfaction on our quest for understanding miracles and how they impact lives. That was accomplished this past month by Scottsdale author Marilyn Frazer www.marilynfrazer.com as Brooks Goldmann Publishing Company, LLC of Scottsdale, AZ enhanced the launch of her high quality self-help production When Angels Call your Name. This new book de-mystifies the experience of miracles in our lives today.

In today’s firestorm of spiritual doubt, this book is a collection of touched-by-an angel stories that should not be overlooked. Frazer gathered the miracle stories over the years from true accounts of people who experienced the unusual, the synchronistic, the amazing and told them in their own words. Each one is a small miracle, often a life-changing experience that will touch your heart.

In addition to reducing the mystery of miracles in her book, When Angels Call your Name, Frazer asserts life’s miracles occur all the time. Perhaps you too have a story of a beautiful life changing experience.

Frazer, who represents not only her writing but her art and meditation, serves the community in many ways. She teaches and works within natural approaches to creativity. Readers who sample this beautiful book will become open to the possibility of achieving greater well-being and peace with life’s many miracles.

As a published author herself, Scottsdale business woman, Patricia L. Brooks, of Brooks Goldmann Publishing Company, LLC endorses this book on what she considers “the ultimate subject for all of us” – finding personal peace and acceptance that miracles do exist and are possible for all of us. Patricia assures the author is a spiritual soul having worked with her on the publishing process. She confirms the book is thought provoking and genuine.

The Brooks Goldmann Publishing website www.brooksgoldmannpublishing.com provides more information on their publishing services. Patricia can help you travel the writing and publishing maze. Visit her many posts on writing and publishing on their blog https://brooksgoldmannpublishing.com

SPEAKER: Marcia Fine: www.marciafine.com blog: http://jeanrubinblog.com

Spending her formative years in South Florida, the only child of New York expatriates with a penchant for the Bohemian lifestyle, Marcia’s best friend was a good book.

At Florida State University she majored in English and then taught high school for five years while working toward a Masters degree in English Education and a Certificate of Concentration in Women’s Studies. Marcia also taught freshman composition at Arizona State University.
In 2000 Marcia began to pursue her dream of writing. Having written two satires about the upscale Scottsdale crowd, she then took a different direction and completed two more books.

Marcia’s fifth novel, Stressed in Scottsdale, expands her satirical series about Jean Rubin into the arena of politics and the environment. With her unique eye she pokes fun at the denizens of an upscale community while tackling serious issues of corruption and air quality issues.

Marcia states her motivation quite simply…

MARCIA FINE “Every Woman has A Story!”

Marcia is going to share how she has formatted a writing career in two different genres to become a prize-winning author. Eleven years ago she had the desire to write, stories to tell and nothing written down. The journey of lessons learned, her encouragement and suggestions will inspire you!

“I love the written word. I have stories to tell.”
