From My Mama’s Kitchen Talk Radio (FMMKTalkRadio)

From My Mama’s Kitchen Recommends… authors who have written excellent books that touch the heart and move the soul!

Besides being an occupational therapist, a piano teacher, and a freelance writer, my guest for this week – Debora Coty is also a mom, author, internationally published columnist and a sought after speaker because she is a gifted humorist.

Writing has become a passion and that can be attested by the many hours she spends each week hammering away on her desktop or laptop keyboard. As a matter of fact, her young adult historical fiction novel, The Distant Shore, which was released August 30, 2007climbed to the top of the VR Publishing best-seller list within three months!

Debora has a real knack for getting across sound biblical concepts with a refreshing lightheartedness as attested in her monthly newspaper column entitled Grace Notes: God’s Grace for Everyday Living.

Her new book titled, “Mom Needs Chocolate” has a universal mom appeal. In mom-to-mom, smile-provoking style, Coty paints her offbeat picture of reality with a tangy twist while offering outrageous coping tips, off-the-wall insights, sisterly hugs, and warm encouragement.

With witty frankness and wild abandon, she tackles the extremes of marriage, horror of embarrassing children, defeat (and re-defeat) of depression, aging grossfully (er, gracefully), and a veritable grocery-list of other mud between-your-toes issues.

Debora’s mission is simple: help women hear God’s still, small voice above blathering kids, howling pets, and snarling traffic.

Please call 347.327.9995 to join Debora and I live on the air on Tuesday 8/25/09 from 10-11 am US CDT and have tons of laughs as we discuss her life’s journey, and her new book.

The theme for August is From My Mama’s Kitchen Recommends… (This entire month I am showcasing authors who have written excellent books that touch the heart and move the soul!)

Is has been said that in every one of us there is a story good enough to be written into a book.  I realized mine in April 2007 when I was spiritually driven to write my first book From My Mama’s Kitchen-“food for the soul, recipes for living” in seven months.

Since hitting the market in January of 2009, I have been blessed with great reviews, and since the launched of my FMMK Talk Radio Show back in April with the mission of bringing motherly love to the global center stage and serving as a resource center for all mothers and women everywhere, I have been equally blessed by the many outstanding guests that have been on the air with me every Tuesday mornings.

Carol Tuttle, a mom, bestselling author, radio talk show host, speaker, and successful business woman is another one of the outstanding guest. She has agreed to kick off this wonderful series with me.

Carol is the creator and founder of Energy Profiling™ and Dressing Your Truth™, and she and I will be discussing her latest book – “soon to be another best seller” – It’s Just My Nature! (A Guide To Knowing And Living Your True Nature)

Her new book reveals a startlingly accurate method for assessing your personality and behavioral tendencies with a new system called Energy Profiling™.

Please call 347.327.9995 to join Carol and I live on the air this Tuesday 8/4/09 from 10-11 am CDT as we discuss her life’s journey, her new book and a little something about you that you may not realized that - it is actually your greatest gift!
