From The Editor In this edition of TAN Magazine, we take a closer look at authors and the great work they do.

The segment “Book Flash” allows us to share more books quickly. Those invited to participate in this magazine issue are from the Facebook group “All About Books”. It can be seen easily in the sky. The Facebook group icon is a bright cloudy sky that represents a wonderful growing imagination. I reach out to group members to participate in the magazine and radio interviews.

I wish to thank the new authors who attended my seminar “Publish Your Book - Guaranteed”.

My travels in Massachusetts and Connecticut have brought me to Holyoke Community College, Westfield State College, Holyoke Community College, and Farmington Community Education.

The seminar is based on the book “Let’s Make It Simple” that can be found at http://tinyurl.com/lmis3book and the video can be found on http://tinyurl.com/lmis3video Since 1994, I’ve been working with writers, authors, and publishing industry experts. I really love working with people who have something to share. In 1998, my radio show “Author of the Week” was launched at WORC 1310 AM and WGFP 940 AM. Since then many more shows have been aired from Massachusetts and California. My newest shows are online and reach a much broader audience then before. My passion for working with the media is found in one of my newest books “Become A Talk Show Host” found on Amazon. http://tinyurl.com/batshvideo Authors are now being heard on new radio shows that are on EPRN. http://www.BlogTalkRadio.com/ewenprime  Morning Coffee is a Sunday program to cover anything.  Night View profiles people and the special things they do.  Today’s Author focuses on books and the publishing industry
