In some cases it is in an author's best interest to self-publish. That's means they are in charge of all book sales. And it means they keep 100% of the revenue from book sales.

Some people have a specific niche their book will appeal to, and/or may have the desire to manage sales of their book.

Business owners may want to write a book specific to their industry, and using their business to publish the book is a better look.

There are other reasons, too, that going it on your own is a good choice.

Inner Peace Press can help with editing, design (including cover design), creating ebooks, supporting you to upload files. We can also help make marketing materials such as press release, bookmarks, trailer, flyers, posters, etc.

Book a call with Heather to ask your questions!

Ever considered writing a book but stopped yourself for one reason or another?

Are you interested in sharing a fundamental experience from your life, but aren't sure how to get started?

Maybe you already have something started but can't figure out how to actually publish your book (meaning get it ready to sell).

If any of these resonate, it may be time to book a call with Heather!

Meet author Amber Lohret. She's also a mother to 4 children, 3 in their teens. She juggles a lot. And on top of it all, she is now advocating for TBI awareness.

She made herself vulnerable by writing down her story to inspire those with TBI to know they are not alone, and for those who love someone with TBI to better understand what their loved one may be going through.

Amber also included a few poems in the book, written at times of emotional turmoil, which shine a brighter light on the impact a TBI has on one's life experience.

Purchase the ebook at just 1.99 this week, at amazon or the paperback version at any time.

Thank you for your support!

Amber's TBI transformed her life in many ways. Amber had always loved nature, but after her accident, she made a point to spend more time in nature. As she slowed her body down, it gave her brain a chance to reset.

She took time to receive healing from her time spent in nature, in part through coming to accept her new life experience.

Featured here are some of the photos Amber took that are included in her book "Invisible" - pick up your copy today!

Two highlights of the weekend:

We got to celebrate a significant birthday AND eat a traditional Kenyan meal!

Sous-chefs were working inside and out of the cabin cutting pieces "as small as possible" and simmering gently.

It isn't everyday you get to eat with your hands! Josephine showed us how to push the cornmeal into a utensil to gather our food and eat a delicious bite.

Little things can make a big difference.

Our Authors Retreat is a time to get away from the usual everyday and discover what else is right in front of you. Deep in the hills of Kentucky, you might find you are closer to yourself than you were before.

What are the odds?

These two photos were taken by two different authors about 2 hours apart from one another.

Each was taking in nature on their walk, and their eye was caught by a glimmer of magic... a speckled red leaf in the shape of a heart.

Seeing heart shapes in nature is often seen as a sign of love, or coincidence.

This particular leaf, when seen by each of these authors, beckoned them in for a photo op, and then softly said, "leave me here for the next person to find."

Both did as requested, and later, when sharing stories, and photos, we all discovered the even deeper connection between us all.

What a beautiful way to slow down!

Do you ever see heart flowers? Heart rocks? Heart rain puddles?

Maybe look more....

Nature can be intimidating. That's what our host says. She built an art installation trail, including a sanctuary, to invite people into nature, to get curious, and look up and realize you are being healed by the very vibration of nature.

When you slowdown in nature, you instantly know yourself.

The first annual authors retreat was a special moment in time. Six interesting and complex women came together to share their stories. Through communication, connection grew. We found many "golden threads" among the exchanges, reaffirming our purpose and place in the world, which for this past weekend was: being together.

Curious how to attend? Simply be published by Inner Peace Press!

In the story for the chapter "Healing" author Valerie Savage explores victim mode. The main character blames someone else for how he is living his life now. He's still hurt from what happened, and rather than moving forward in a healthy way, he is holding on to anger and negativity.

How do you think that turns out for Charles?

Find out, and then explore more deeply with the journaling questions, story prompts, and meditation that follows.

"Transcending through Servant Leadership" helps us be better leaders by considering all sides.

In the chapter "Listening" in "Transcending through Servant Leadership," author Valerie Savage takes us on a multi-generational story that helps the reader consider ethical choices in business.

It involves truly listening to what a client wants, rather than doing what you think is right.

The meditation that follows encourages the reader to listen to the voice within, guiding you along your own journey.

What is YOUR voice telling you?

10 chapters, each featuring a painting by the author along with an interesting story to contemplate one of the 10 tenants of Servant Leadership.

Imagine feeling so broken inside yet no one can tell....

Traumatic Brain Injury affects each survivor in different ways. Often it can play tricks on our own perception of self.

What if overnight you started to feel you are no longer who you thought you were? How would that change your actions? Might you get tired having to explain your situation in each circumstance?

Amber Lohret, from New York state, a former psychiatric nurse, outlines her experience of TBI and how it impacted her true self.

"Invisible" is an insightful, easy-to-read account that will make you a more understanding friend/loved one to someone else who has suffered a TBI.

And for TBI survivors, you are NOT alone!

Available for pre-order at InnerPeacePress.

Living with a brain injury can often feel as if you're carrying a secret. To the outside world, everything may appear normal, but internally there's a profound struggle that is hard to articulate and often harder to comprehend, even for those experiencing it. The changes brought on by a brain injury can be baffling and overwhelming, leading to daily challenges that are both exhausting and isolating. This sense of isolation can be utterly lonely; one must find ways to cope with these feelings or risk being engulfed by them.

Amber Lohret, a former psychiatric nurse, shares her experience in accepting her new self, her new life, her new reality after facing a traumatic incident that resulted in a life-long TBI. No longer able to work as a nurse, Amber has since found solace in finding new modalities of healing others including reiki and yoga. In “Invisible” she shares details of what she had to overcome to recognize her (new) self, and share this new identity with loved ones and friends, despite looking the same on the outside.

This book provides an amazing insight into living through a TBI -- it is helpful both to those who have experienced TBI and those who love someone who has.

You never really know what someone is going through!

Purchase your copy today!

It is true, it isn't easy to talk about our own deaths. But when we can... it isn't quite as scary. Death doesn't have the same hold on us when we stop ignoring it.

We will all die someday. Hopefully we'll have lots more time... but as End-of-Life Doula Suzanne Sherman points out, it is never too early to explore a better death.

This isn't to be morbid or meant to cause stress. It is to release the negativity associated with one of life's natural stages.

Want to get to know yourself better? Ready to consider the legacy you will leave?

This little book will help you do just that.

Can you imagine your child coming home daily with rashes because of what OTHER children have eaten?!

This is a great worry for parents of children with food allergies.

There is just SO MUCH that is out of your control.

"Just One Bite" helps us understand how different food allergies effect people differently. It educates both families/individuals who face food allergies, and ALSO families/individuals who have no experience with food allergies.

With knowledge comes understanding and with understanding we can better support others. Even when we, or someone we know, is not facing life-threatening food allergies.

"Just One Bite" bridges the gap of understanding.
