An intriguing story of personal risk-taking, self-discovery and profound change. An inspiring read of a life-changing escapade Down Under

Introducing a new book to a global readership

Being asked questions such as, “How did you like that book? “– “What did you get out of the book?” or “What does that book mean for you?” will undoubtedly result in different answers from different readers.

Take my book “It Happened in the Seventies” as an example.

The subheading is “A Memoir of Love, Colliding Worlds and a House on a Hill.”

For publishing and distribution purposes, an author has to nominate a category for the book to be found somewhere on a bookshelf. I find this problematic; I believe my book could interest everyone. My book is classed as a “Memoir“; however, that doesn’t tell anyone what the book is about.

A memoir could have a multitude of categories. It could involve adventure, crime, love and relationships, spirituality, and art. In other words, a memoir could be just what you wanted and more.)

One hopes the book description on the back cover is marketing enough and will entice the potential reader enough to buy that book. Let’s face it: most authors don’t like marketing.

Talking to marketing gurus, the advice one gets is to answer the reader’s question, “What is in it for me?” – Obviously, I don’t know what is in there for you because I don’t know what kind of books you like. 

To address the above conundrum, the whole book can be dissected, and the author could explain the points of interest and benefit to the reader.

Here are Seven points why “It Happened in the Seventies” could answer your questions and tickle your interest.

  1. Readers who like personal growth or want to change something will find encouragement and inspiration. It also suits readers who like to overcome unsuitable lifestyle conditions.
  2. Readers who need to change their lives because of health will find one can heal or improve health with diet and lifestyle changes. 
  3. Readers who want to break out of their present confinement are well served. The personal changes in this book are dramatic, much more than just a sea/tree change.
  4. Readers who like travel, adventure or action stories will love this book; it will take you “Down Under” with adventures galore.
  5. Readers of romantic books or relationship topics will find the love story within those pages enchanting and enlightening. They may find answers as to why or why not a relationship will work.
  6. Readers of the Super Natural will be intrigued by the apparent superpowers demonstrated.
  7. Readers who like spiritual content, meditation, and visualization to manifest goals will be rewarded and inspired.
    In other words, a memoir can have content enjoyable for everyone.
     
    Here is my Book description – you be the judge …
    It Happened in the Seventies

From the author of ‘Do You Believe in You’ comes an intriguing story of personal risk-taking, self-discovery and profound change.
Dieter started his thriving business at only twenty-one and lived the good life in Hamburg, Germany. By the age of twenty-four, he knew something was missing: there must be more to life than earning a living, and he wanted to find it in Australia as a quest for all things vital: health, love, creativity, meaning, purpose and independence. 
How does life continue if one decides to leave all one has achieved?
Dieter met Giselle on Christmas Day 1973. They didn’t want a relationship, but the universe had other ideas! Arriving in Sydney in 1974, they lived, worked and explored Australia in their yellow panel van for two and a half years, discovering themselves and their unpredictable future. 
Driving from one adventure to another, they faced unexpected dangers and found paradise in unforeseen places. 
Devastating news arrived from Hamburg – their dreams and reality collided. 
Could they still achieve their goals and live their dream lifestyle?
