There are hundreds of books written on the subject of "How To Self-Publish".

There are but few authors who can speak of a day by day account and procedure on the road to a finished, ready-to-be marketed, self-published book. Your book.

Self publishing is an art form. It takes courage, patience, a keen listening ability, some business savvy and above all, methodology of how to tear checks from your check book and credit cards from your wallet very quickly and painlessly.

I am one of those authors.

Yvonne Bornstein

It took Yvonne Bornstein twelve years to get emotionally past the trauma of her kidnapping, torture, rape and rescue to be able to finally tell her story. In January of 1992 Bornstein, a wife, mother of two, and businesswoman, found herself caught up in the political disintegration of the Soviet Union. Lured to a newly capitalist Moscow by a business proposition, Yvonne and her former husband were kidnapped, tortured and held for $1.6 million ransom by a group of Chechen rebels originally thought to be gypsies or members of the Russian mob. The kidnappers were later linked to Osama bin Laden?s al-Qaeda network.

Yvonne finally found the strength and courage to move beyond the tormenting memories of the experience, to once again find her way back to joyful living and happiness.
