TRACKS - author tea this weekend

Saturday 10/15/11 3-5 pm
This Saturday we host Baltimore local, Eric D. Goodman and his story collection set on the rails between Baltimore and Chicago. Join us for coffee/tea and munchies.

Each story is told from the perspective of a passenger on the train. They are the strangers we meet every day: a soldier, a salesman, a former mobster, a Holocaust survivor, couples in love, a woman who has lost her parents, a poet, a hit man. These and other characters fill the train with emotion and complexity.

Double-event Weekend - Outfluence+IN THE NAME OF GOD

2 big events this weekend --


Saturday, 7/16/11, 3-5pm Tea with Outfluence(r)

Regional author and court reporter Al Betz' ground-breaking book OUTFLUENCE(r) develops the communication skills needed for business and for life. Cookies and Tea/Coffee will be available.

In Outfluence, The Better Way to Influence, Al Betz details his discovery, development, and successful implementation of Outfluence. He is a man from humble beginnings that could have taken a different path, a path to mediocrity, and instead he trounced self-esteem obstacles, refused to accept business roadblocks as final, and has fought his way to success after success. This book will mentor families, motivate students and young members ofthe work force, and be a source of inspiration to anyone searching for relief from timidity, poor self-esteem, or a lack of confidence. Al teaches us all that focusing on the needs of other people before our own needs is the key to a satisfying Outfluence lifestyle.

We will also have Al's backlist titles available: POWER WRITERS (Stories of the World's Trusted Court Reporters and Captioners) and POLISHING THE PEARL (The Art of Professional Performance).
