Author Bio:
My childhood can be simply described in one word: rebellious. Every day, my parents would want me to go outside and play with the other kids. But no. I rebelled. Instead of listening to my mom and dad about getting exercise and some fresh air, I stayed inside doing the most rebellious thing I could think of to exasperate my parents: read. Being an inquisitive child, I spent days reading books and encyclopedias.
I called it expanding my horizons.
My parents called it being lazy.
The first computer in my life appeared when I entered university. It brought entirely new worlds to me. After classes, I would search through breathtaking stories describing unseen worlds, their histories, and characters. The most lasting impression for me was the Fallout series.
I remember everything as if it was just yesterday…
At 22, I went through a pre-midlife crisis. I was finding out my place in the world, trying different jobs and directions for life. Restaurants, websites, freelance, ghostwriting — everything I did, I gave it my all. Life was like a game to me: you earn resources and gold and spend them on armor and equipment.
At the end of 2013, I read my first LitRPG book. I read all of the stories from the first LitRPG wave in Russia. It was a revelation! The two things I liked the most, internet gaming and books, were now seamlessly combined to produce heroic stories. Needless to say, I became a fan of the genre. It was like reading and playing at the same time, a game you could only dream of!
I was full of emotions and energy and purely inspired. I had so many things to say and write that eventually I put pen to paper. The story just wrote itself: a world of mystery, elaborate plot twists, and devious characters. No free hugs, no super luck, no powers and definitely no magic for free. That was the book I ended up writing.
If I’m being totally honest, sometimes I cried when I wrote the traumatizing and dramatic life experiences of Anji. I was with him, side by side, and I felt his pain as if it was my own. And I wanted to share our story with the world.
I am in awe of how fast Chrysalis has been read by readers around the world. I’m forever grateful to the people who inspired me to keep writing and for those that said I should just put a cork in it!
I’d like to thank the Litworld team for doing an amazing job at promoting my book. None of this would have been possible without you guys.
Chrysalis is only beginning, and the world is infinite and terrifying.
Protecting Elvis by Charlotte G. Morgan
Protecting Elvis by Charlotte G. Morgan by Charlotte Morgan
The one and only Elvis, three women, lives complicated by obsession, jealousy and drugs: these components collide in Protecting Elvis.
Velis Emerson, agoraphobic, lives alone with only memories of her deceased parents. She devotes herself to her work as corresponding secretary of the Elvis Presley Tupelo Fan Club. Her sheltered existence is shattered when a reporter from the Rolling Stone comes around trying to dig up dirt on Elvis;
Priscilla Jane Johnson, a nurse at the Durham Diet Clinic, cares for Elvis during his brief weight-loss stay. In late night gab sessions he shares his fears and losses to her compassionate ear. His departing gift of a red Mustang convertible creates a chink in her engagement to Kendall Kennedy, aspiring Gospel songwriter who is jealous of any man he perceives as a threat; and
Notary Pettiford Midgette, a domestic at Graceland, needs Elvis’ help to save the life of her only remaining son, the wayward Antwan who’s turned to drugs and the dangerous streets of Memphis.
Over all hovers the voice of Gladys, the mother in heaven who wants to guard Elvis from the temptations of drink and drugs and those who use him for his money and fame.

A stranger from the future comes to Paige’s cabin in rural Georgia with a remedy for her early onset Alzheimer’s disease.

YouTube for Real Estate Agents: Learn How to Get Free Real Estate Leads and NEVER Cold Call Again
About YouTube for Real Estate Agents: Learn How to Get Free Real Estate Leads and NEVER Cold Call Again
Can YouTube marketing really bring you business?
Let’s talk about real estate video marketing. In my opinion, YouTube is one of the BEST real estate marketing tools out there.
Cold calling sucks. Let’s be honest – you don’t like receiving unsolicited sales calls any more than I do… and neither do our potential buyers and sellers.
Door knocking sucks too. I don’t want to open my door for strangers these days purely for safety reasons. Nor do I want to be subjected to a sales pitch for something I didn’t want or need before I opened the door. So why are we shocked that our prospects feel the same way?
What if I told you that it was actually quite easy to learn how to get free real estate leads? Your YouTube channel isn’t just for branding anymore! If you want to learn how to get real estate clients easily and without dropping a bundle of money on ads, then YouTube for Real Estate Agents is for you!
On YouTube you get to promote your personality and your expertise, not just your listings, in a way that makes prospects excited and eager to work with exclusively with you. Sounds amazing, right?
In YouTube for Real Estate Agents you’ll learn why YouTube is the best free advertising you will ever find. I know, because I get about 70% of my business from my YouTube channel. I went from being brand new in my market after relocating cross country, to hiring a team of agents in only two years.
Did I mention YouTube is free?
In this book, we will give your YouTube channel a makeover. YouTube will give you an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE over other agents in your market. In only seven days you’ll understand how to use YouTube to get new clients that are begging to work with you, without having to spend any money on ads. You’ll learn:
What your channel art MUST have in order to get subscribers
The #1 SECRET to attracting new clients like a magnet
The reason most agents get few views and even fewer subscribers
Why most videos will NEVER get you a new client – and how to fix that!
Whether you’re a newly licensed agent or have been in the business 20 years, if you are willing to be on camera you can start getting tons of free real estate leads from YouTube.
YouTube for Real Estate Agents will teach you how to set up your YouTube channel to be a lean, mean, lead gen machine!
