“Everyone has at least one good book in them” said Robert G. Allen, but for countless potential authors, “in them” is exactly where their good book stays.

So, what are the benefits of writing a book? For professionals or business owners, a book about your knowledge, experience or expertise can massively increase your credibility. Being a published author opens doors and attracts business.

If you have a creative side, or a message you want to share, writing fiction, poetry or for children is not only fun and therapeutic, but can change other people’s lives as well. Getting your novel or story published could bring recognition – even fame and fortune for the lucky ones.

With so much interest in family history these days, why not write the story of your own life, or that of your ancestors? A published book is a wonderful way of passing on knowledge and setting the record straight for future

generations.

Lucy McCarraher, Commissioning Ed-itor of Bookshaker, successful Norfolk-based publisher of business and self-development

books, wants to help people turn their ideas into books, and get their books into print.

As the author of self-help books and novels herself, she knows how hard it can be. “I’ve been lucky finding publishers for my books but I’ve had plenty of rejections too. Personally, I have to turn down authors whose books aren’t right for Bookshaker but I’d like to help everyone get published.”

That’s why Lucy has started Rethink Press – which offers authors a publishing partnership for any kind of book, from novels and children’s books to business, biography and beyond. Partnership publishing is a bridge between traditional publication, where the publisher takes the financial risk, and self-publishing, where an author negotiates the whole process themselves.

“Rethink brings the services of an established, professional publisher, but allows the author to invest in their book, and receive a high royalty on sales. We also offer coaching and help with the writing process, as well as PR at the other end.”

Make 2012 the year you write and publish your book, visit www.rethinkpress.com or contact Lucy at [email protected]

WRite a book and Change lives


five top tips for budding writers:

1. Read lots of other books in your subject area and aimed at your market

2. Define your ideal reader and write for them

3. Write with your own “voice”; but spelling and grammar matters

4. Structure or plot your book before you start writing

5. Write first, then edit. Don’t try to do both at the same time.

case study: Norfolk author Mark Hibbitts

Mark hibbitts has had an interesting journey on the road to becoming an author.

After leaving his career as an international casino manager, Mark founded his own fitness business. Unfortunately, the business became an early victim of the recession, but Mark travelled across the UK learning about theories of wealth and prosperity and has recently written three books to teach children about entrepreneurship.

The educational books are about a twelve year old schoolboy called Alfie Potts who becomes an entrepreneur. With the help of his father, he learns valuable life and business lessons.

Mark’s inspiration for the book came after he realised children need to be shown real life examples of how a powerful idea can develop into a successful business. He now visits schools and youth groups delivering presentations on his experiences as he is passionate about encouraging entrepreneurship.

The first three books in the Alfie Potts; Schoolboy entrepreneur series are available from Amazon priced from £4.99, making an ideal Norfolk Christmas gift.

spotlight on

seCuRing youR Family’s FutuRe todayWhatever your age it is never too early to plan ahead to secure your family’s future and avoid additional heartache after your demise.

Whether it be by wills, trusts or Estate Mitigation, qualified and experienced consultants at Norfolk Will Writing Services Ltd can assist you, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind. When drafting a will, it is essential to obtain accurate, current information as to your assets and liabilities and to ensure that the assets you own actually form part of your estate and may be given away under the terms of your will. With frequent changes in financial legislation and regulations, it is advisable that existing wills are reviewed regularly. Where there is a need to protect business assets or make provision for children, it may be appropriate to include a trust in your will. Guardianship may change, so too may beneficiaries , or additional children or a dramatic change of circumstances like Divorce or a death of a beneficiary.

For most people their biggest financial asset is their home and getting expert advice at an early stage will help protect your property in the future. Dealing with money and welfare matters in old age or in ill health can be difficult and worrying. By making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) you can eliminate these problems and make

things easier for those around you to manage your affairs and assist you at a time of need. However, without this very important document, it can prove costly to your family, as the Mental Health Act has made statutory legislation of what a family must do to assist you if you have not made provisions prior to any onset of your decline in health.

There is plenty to take into consideration and speaking to an expert who has experience in these matters will be time well spent and not necessarily as costly as you may think.

Norfolk Will Writing Services, which was started by Robin Colton in 1992, not only provides a service locally but also has clients further afield and networks with many solicitors and will writing companies across the United Kingdom and Spain. As members of the Institute of Professional Will Writers and the Society of Will Writers, they are bound by a strict Code of Practice to ensure they give a comprehensive and professional Will Writing Service.

Hayley Tamaddon is certainly one of Britain’s busiest performers.

Skating, soaps, Spamalot and Shameless have all figured in her career and now she is

keeping the alliterative theme going – by playing the lead role in Sleeping Beauty, which

opens on December 14. John Bultitude caught up with

Hayley to find out why she is looking forward to spending the Christmas period in Norwich.

You can just tell Hayley Tamaddon gives 100 per cent to everything she does. ‘Living The Dream’ is the ultimate showbiz cliché but you can see that Hayley really is. She has wanted to be on the stage ever since she was a tiny tot and now that she has made performing a highly successful career, there is no doubt Hayley is grasping every single opportunity. And she admits she cannot wait to start rehearsing in Sleeping Beauty which will see her performing opposite an all-star cast including Kevin Sacre (Jake Dean in Hollyoaks), Helen Fraser (Sylvia ‘Body Bag’ Hollamby in Bad Girls). Also back for this year’s run from December 14 to January 15 are Norwich’s ever-popular panto dame Richard Gauntlett, comedy favourites Andre Vincent (Early Edition with Marcus Brigstocke) and Tom Beard, and distinguished character actor David Gant. Hayley said: “I am very excited about playing Sleeping Beauty. I have never played this part before so it will be very new for me. Panto isn’t new to me and I love it. “The great thing about panto is that it is for everybody. It is full of fun and entertainment and you get a whole musical revolving around a story that people will know. It is just great for all the family. “It is somewhere you can come and you know by the end of the performance, you will be leaving the theatre laughing and giggling about what you have just seen.” Hayley is no stranger to Norwich last appearing at the Theatre Royal in Spamalot opposite Todd Carty (Mark Fowler in EastEnders and Tucker Jenkins in Grange Hill) and James Gaddas (Neil Grayling in Bad Girls). She recalled: “When I was in Spamalot, I absolutely loved being in Norwich as it is such a friendly city. It is so quaint and lovely and everybody looks out for each other at the theatre. I love that. “After having such a great time there, I told everybody that Norwich is one of my favourite places on the tour. To be asked back to do panto at the Theatre Royal is great news.” Performing was definitely an instinctive thing and something Hayley had always wanted to do. She said: “Singing, acting and dancing is all I have ever known really. I think I was about two when I first went to a ballet class. I love singing and acting. I always wanted

to be on a stage.” Her first big break which brought her national attention was livewire Delilah Dingle in Emmerdale who was at the centre of some great storylines. Hayley recalled: “She was a feisty character. If there was ever a chance to go back as Delilah, I think I probably would. She could cause some trouble and mischief in the village.” From there, she donned the skates for Dancing On Ice eventually winning the series. The TV judge and former skating champion Robin Cousins has highlighted her determination and willingness to work hard as the secrets of her success which are made even more remarkable by the fact she had little experience on the rink. Hayley said: “I had never done any skating lessons. I had done what everyone had done going on a Christmas ice rink or skating with your mates when you are ten years old. You get really thrown into the deep end and it is just brilliant. I can now safely say I can go backwards on the ice.” And she has carried on taking to the ice since she finished her successful stint on the show. Hayley explained: “I’ve done two arena tours now and I am addicted. Dancing On Ice was a big thing for me and I was so grateful to get the opportunity to do something like that.” Next on the agenda for her is the Norwich pantomime, sponsored by Almary Green, although, in true Tamaddon style, she is already looking at adding yet another string to her bow. She said: “I like writing. I have started writing a children’s book of poetry. When I was growing up and reading as a child, I did read story books but poetry was my main thing. I have started to write a bit so we’ll see what happens. Maybe it will take off and you will see it in the shops some day.” And, as with everything else in her career, she feels it is really important to strike out and give everything a go. She explained: “I think if you don’t try things, you will regret it and you should never have regrets in your life. Just follow your heart, follow your dreams and do everything you want to do.” Sound advice from a performer who is sure to remain a firm favourite for years and years to come.

a good time for a free giftDecember is a traditional month for giving, so I thought I would join in. If you have been reading this column all year, you will have gained some insight into what investors want to know about businesses and projects which need funding. Now I’m asking you about your experience of funding processes, and I’m offering a gift for the best story.

Whether your business has tried to borrow from a Bank, or has engaged with other instuitutions or private lenders, I’d like to hear about the successes and failures of the investment market. Some will be uplifting stories of a well funded project turning into a huge business success; others may be stories of frustration and red tape; but all will demonstrate how much we learn from trying to make our dreams a reality.

I can also publish a few new insights in the Circular if you would like your experiences to be used to help others. All stories carry lessons learned and the one which I find has produced the most inspired learning, through success or adversity, will receive my gift of a free Return On Investment assessment. I will work through Mayfair’s ROI index in detail with the winning business, and advise on planning for renewed success.

in times of great Change, imagineer …Change is one of the few certainties in life. And change goes beyond the human species. As the caterpillar emerges from that dark cocoon, it has transformed from the inside out into a beautiful butterfly. A new reality awakens. That butterfly was there all the time awaiting the process of transformation, a revolution rather than an evolution. imaginal CellsDid you know that the process by which the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly is down to the awakening of imaginal cells that are encoded with a new octave of being? These imaginal cells begin to join forces and a tipping point is reached that creates total transformation. So what can we learn from that? Firstly, that true transformation comes from within, and it is self-directed. It involves a new octave of being. Secondly, the transformation happens when you begin to imagineer and allow your creative mind to steer you to a new reality. Thirdly, as more and more of yourself fully encodes that imagined new reality on the inside, then from the inside out you can create that new reality. The whole vibrational energy within you shifts, and attracts a whole new set of experiences, a whole new way of being in the world.

imagination sets us FreeWhat separated us from the animal kingdom was our ability to imagine. We saw wood and flint and began to imagine ourselves being able to create and use tools - seeing infinite possibilities beyond what we knew, imagineering beyond the present reality. Imagination set us free, liberated us, sent us adventuring, blazing a trail to new realities.Infinite PossibilitiesIs it time for a revolution for you? Or an evolution? Is it time for a transformation in your one wild and precious life? Perhaps it’s time for you to make some Imagineering time to create a reality beyond your present reality. We can all dream a bigger dream for our lives. Dare to dream beyond what you know. And then make it happen. We’re here to earth our dreams.

Make sure you are fit for Christmas!Christmas on the way! We all need to be sure we stay injury free and enjoy the festive season. Here are a few facts and tips.

How Cold Air Can Indirectly Affect Muscles and Joints• While it is a myth that cold air causes colds and flu, there are some indirect ways that cold air can make you more likely to contract a fever and the muscle pains that go with it. Cold air can cause your mucas to thicken in your nose and cause the skin in your nose to dry. As it gets dryer, it less effective in filtering out viruses and this makes you more susceptible to illness. Once you get sick, your body raises its internal temperature to create inflammation in an effort to flush the virus out of your body and the inflammation that is a part of your immune response frequently results in muscle aches and pains. People are also generally less active in colder weather and spend more time indoors in stale air that may have viruses in it, which contributes to greater incidences of illness, fever, and resulting in muscle aches.

Prevention• To prevent muscle aches in colder weather, always stretch and have a warm-up session to get your body loose

and ready before doing anything strenuous in the cold air. Keep yourself warm by wearing layers of clothing to try to prevent the muscles from constricting in the cold, and practice good general health habits to prevent yourself from getting sick.

Massage can save the day and it’s a good investment and a perfect Christmas present.

Medical studies have found that Sports Massage will boost the body’s immunity. Working on all the major systems of the body it will help you be at your best possible condition. Also the thought of being ,fit able and relaxed, stress levels reduced, what a perfect present the Christmas.happy christmas

Most people have heard of the village of Horsham St Faith probably because, today, it is where the airport is, but the airfield has only been there since 1939 and the village of Horsham St Faith in the C19th was a much quieter place. There were no Blenheims, Meteors, Mosquitos or Hunters flying over head and going on holiday was something only available to the very rich.

In 1856, the St Faith’s Union Workhouse, in the village, was home to 300 inmates and it had a chaplain, surgeon, a schoolmaster and a schoolmistress as well as the master and matron. The village still had many trades, but in the past it had been much busier as there had been a Benedictine Priory and a Hospital of the Knights Templars.

There was still a large cattle fair held for three weeks commencing on 17th October and that fair would have brought a lot of business to the pubs and other tradesmen. There was a horse farrier, cabinet & chair maker, boot & shoe-makers, gardener, miller & farmer, bricklayer, tailors, baker, smiths, boot & shoemaker, basket-maker, corn & seed merchant, harness-maker and several farmers, shop-keepers and the like. One could think that it was unusual for a village so close to Norwich to be so well provided with trades, one could even think that it is quite amazing that these trades could have all made a good living, but, looking at where Norwich was in 1850, one can see that, actually, Horsham was quite a few miles from the city. Looking at a map of Norfolk as it was in the middle of the C19th, Horsham was in open country, with the nearest part of the city being Saint Augustine’s!

There were several pubs in the village, the most interesting and crying out for more information, was the Highland Laddie. It is thought to have something to do with the old cattle fair, as cattle were driven down to Norfolk from Scotland, but if any of you locals know about this pub, my good friend, who runs the Norfolk Pubs website would be very pleased to hear from you.

I’m writing these local history pages in the hope that some of you will start to take an active interest in your surroundings and perhaps research some aspect of your own local history. The information I am giving is not difficult to find and it would be very simple to write a little booklet about your own village or town. If you are interested in local or family history and would like to start up a project, feel free to drop me an email or call me. A little booklet about each village in Norfolk would be a great addition to the library shelves and, with the Jubilee coming up on 6th February and celebrations planned for June, what a fitting tribute to what is going to be, a very important year for Great Britain.
