Frank Morrill review - Todd's book "Pulling Each Other Along" was a book I could not put down! It is very inspirational and full of emotion. It is a must read for all as we go through life and each face different obstacles. Sometimes it is so rewarding to learn about others who face strong and almost insurmountable challenges but decide to put that next foot forward and not look backward. Todd is an excellent author and in this case put together such heartfelt stories. Please think about purchasing one and maybe even a couple if you want to give a lift to someone in your life.

We had a special guest for this episode, not just a guest but an author of many books - Todd Civin! He spoke about how he lost his job as a warehouse manager in 2008, and how he transitioned to a feature reporter for the Red Sox. He also spoke about how the Hoyt changed his life "immeasurably". Why....

Pulling Each Other Along

10/07/2021

I've been working for some time to help NEW Author Judith Bessette of Dracut to publish her book Ma Belle France, retelling the story of her family's travels to the land of the Eiffel Tower.

Her work is now complete and available at Civin Media Relations. This is a prime example of the importance of sharing your memoirs with those who follow. Every book is not going to be a best seller. Most are not. But these stories are our legacy. Our words in print, like cave art, to share with those who follow.

There is something magical about seeing your name on the cover of your book for the very first time. In this era of print on demand and self publishing everyone should consider telling their story. Civin Media Relations is here to help.

Bryce Linton is the son of friends Julie Creedon Linton and Michael Linton. Bryce was born with a one in a million potentially life threatening genetic mutation. ,

In March 2020, the Linton family launched the "Brothers for Bryce" Campaign.to create awareness of what stem cell transplants are, how the procedure is done, and the profound fact that someone could save another person's life by participating.

Our newest book Bryce Meets His Match was written to help people understand what Bryce is going through with his condition, but also to serve as a call to action. Proceeds from sales of the book will go to the campaign. Please order a few today to spread awareness of this incredible initiative.

Spent 30 unforgettable minutes with poet extraordinaire Laura Chagnon and her soulmate Tom Damoulakis speaking of Laura's gift of poetry and her life following a traumatic brain injury.

On the evening of her 26th birthday in 1989, Laura Chagnon was attacked and left for dead found in front of a doorway on Harrison Avenue by a Boston Police Officer.. Her life changed that night…for the better. After spending nearly five weeks in a coma and awaking a legally blind quadriplegic. Laura then spent four years in a rehabilitation facility when doctors wanted to instead have her institutionalized. She forgives her still unknown attackers for leaving her with the gift of poetry. “I’d gladly trade my legs in exchange for the ability to write poetry,” says Laura.

During a journey that has lasted twenty-eight years, Laura has composed over 6,000 poems. She composes from sun up to sun down. Her soulmate Tom calls her a poetry machine. After launching her very successful books, Never Touched a Pen, Accepting the Waltz, Moon-Dusted Blue and My Name is Not Jane Doe, Laura is ready to step into the publishing arena yet again with her fifth book entitled, "So Blessed to Be Alive". She is currently working on her sixth book All His Glory.

Enjoy the inspired poetry of this incredible woman who many refer to as the Poet Laureate of Massachusetts.
