helps people explore different ways to achieve<br />

everyday activities, such as:<br />

• Housework and chores<br />

• Exercising, cooking, eating, and fasting<br />

• Traveling and making pilgrimages<br />

• Living among the noise of daily life<br />

Featuring personal stories from the author and<br />

others, and weaving in practices from specific traditions—such<br />

as Franciscan, Benedictine, and Trappist—Everyday<br />

Divine shows how these perspectives<br />

fit into the bigger Catholic picture.<br />

Keep your muscles guessing—and growing—with your own<br />

muscle confusion workout, at home or in the gym.<br />

Muscle confusion training is built on the premise that performing the same<br />

exercises day after day eventually causes muscles to plateau and stop growing.<br />

By following the concept of muscle confusion, muscles are “tricked”<br />

into growing faster, and over a longer period of time, because they’re<br />

worked by an ever-changing rotation of exercises.<br />

From sprints to kettlebells to plyometrics, the authors take readers through<br />

a variety of programs and help them customize workouts that lead to better,<br />

faster results. Based on proven principles with roots in such popular workout<br />

programs as P90X ® and CrossFit ® , readers of Muscle Confusion Training will<br />

find themselves growing faster, burning more fat in less time, and having a<br />

whole lot more fun in the process.<br />

Andy Petranek is a nationally-known CrossFit trainer, gym owner, adventure racer,<br />

Fit L.A./Petranek Fitness. Roy M. Wallack is a journalist, author, endurance cyclist,<br />

Discover the secrets to staying<br />

young—and the cutting age<br />

health science behind them.<br />

Washington Post reporter Margaret Pressler always<br />

wondered how her husband, Jim, managed to look<br />

so much younger than his age. Was it genetic, or<br />

had he stumbled onto the secret to a long, healthy<br />

life? Interviewing some of the world’s leading experts<br />

on aging and genetics, Pressler discovered a<br />

whole new world of research on the aging process,<br />

and advice on how to slow it down, feel better, and<br />

look great. And it all matches Jim’s exercise, diet,<br />

and personal care habits.<br />

Using Jim’s regimen as a starting point, Cheat the<br />

Clock offers practical advice people can easily incorporate<br />

into their daily lives. As opposed to the<br />

extreme ideals of a fitness buff or a nutrition fanatic,<br />

these minor tweaks in diet, exercise, lifestyle, and<br />

personal care are painless to adopt and achievable<br />

for anyone—yet still have a big payoff over time.<br />

Cheat the Clock shows the long-term rewards of<br />

adopting a new regimen focused on these crucial<br />

aspects:<br />

• Maintaining a healthy weight with an anti-aging<br />

diet<br />

• Engaging in the right amount of exercise<br />

• Getting antioxidants from food<br />

• Avoiding behaviors that age people the most<br />

• Having plenty of sex<br />

• Taking care of skin and teeth<br />

• Adjusting attitude and lifestyle<br />

MARKETING:<br />

• Online promotion<br />

• PR campaign to health, self help, women’s, and general<br />

media<br />

• Promotion via author website, lilypadplace.com<br />

SALES POINTS:<br />

• This unique angle on aging combines a personal account<br />

with authority and elaboration from some of the<br />

world’s leading experts in the field<br />

• The baby boom generation, 76 million, are the prime<br />

market for this book—and younger people will also<br />

want to benefit from its information and advice<br />

Margaret Pressler is an award-winning reporter for the<br />

Washington Post. She has long been interested in matters<br />

Planning and planting<br />

a successful, sustainable<br />

Backyard farming provides fresh food at a fraction<br />

of the price one normally pays for the same items,<br />

miles to the local grocery. By raising and harvesting<br />

their own fruits, vegetables, chickens, bees, milkbearing<br />

animals, and more, people are growing locally,<br />

sustainably, and economically.<br />

Backyard Farming on an Acre (More or Less) is written<br />

by Angela England, who has planned a successful<br />

small scale farm and watched her dream become<br />

reality: a productive backyard farm from which they<br />

can literally reap the fruits of their harvest every<br />

day. Readers will learn to plan their own farm using<br />

proven, sustainable techniques, yielding the benefits<br />

of their harvest with proven best practices.<br />

books on the market<br />

throughout the book<br />

• Covers planning, raising, and harvesting fruits, vegetables,<br />

chickens, livestock, and more, all on a small scale<br />

MARKETING POINTS:<br />

and parenting media, websites, and blogs<br />

• Bylined ezine articles<br />

• Online advertising/sponsorship and article placement<br />

at a variety of topical websites<br />

Angela England is a freelance writer who, along with her<br />

husband and four children, cultivates a 1/2 acre farm<br />

in their backyard where they raise dairy and meat goats,<br />

keep enough chickens for eggs and free-range poultry,<br />

and foster an intensively productive garden for fresh fruits<br />

and vegetables. With time, their garden grew and they<br />

began expanding to parent bees, cultivate fruit trees, and<br />

manage a larger plot while shedding the conveniences of<br />

urban life. Angela is the Plants and Bulbs Feature Writer<br />

at Suite101 and founded the Untrained Housewife website<br />

in order to guide others in recapturing the lost arts of<br />

rural living. She also manages and maintains the Blissfully<br />

Domestic community with an additional 300,000 page<br />

views monthly and contributes to other sites and forums<br />

on a regular basis. Author home: Durant, OK.
