Ghost Writer Helps Medium

Medium Writes Book With Help of Ghost

A medium claims to have written a book with the help of a ghost. Her story combines a supernatural thriller with actual events from the hard rock underground in the 1980's and 1990's. The book features various exciting characters such as vampires, angels and demons and deities from various pagan mythologies.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) October 26, 2007 -- Lily Strange, a clairsentient medium, has released her first novel, Eternal Death I: Lost Beneath the Surface. Ms. Strange claims that she wrote the supernatural thriller in cooperation with a spirit that she befriended in the latter part of 2005.

Ms. Strange comes from a family with strong psychic tendencies. Her maternal great-grandfather saw spirits from his early childhood and knew when people were going to die. Ms. Strange, her mother and her aunt all have precognitive dreams and have all encountered spirits at various times in their lives.

Although Ms. Strange has had contact with spirits throughout her life, it was never her intent to write a book with one. Her original intent was simply to edit a story that she had written thirteen years previously as a metaphor for her deteriorating marriage.

"The original story wasn't very good," Ms. Strange says. "It was a two-dimensional Gothic romance. I believed that I could turn it into something more interesting."

Around August of 2005, Ms. Strange made contact with the spirit of a musician who had committed suicide. She befriended the lonely ghost and he took an interest in her project.

"He was flattered when I wanted to include him in a cameo role in the story," Strange says. "He had some helpful suggestions, and before we knew what had happened, we were writing together. Neither of us had any intention of him being my co-author. But his ideas were very impressive and he was happy to be able to create again. I think it has been a healing experience for both of us."

The result is an intriguing and complex novel that centers around a popular American writer named Terry Bruckham, her fiance Elvin Barris, a British blues-rock singer, and their friends and family members. Threatening the safety and happiness of not only this group of people but also the entire cosmos, is a megalomaniac vampire and the various dark powers that support his twisted desires. The book also features angels, demons, gods and goddesses from various mythologies, and intertwines true events from the hard rock underground of the 1980's and 1990's with a fantastic tale of supernatural terror.

Niche Article Marketing Tips

Article Marketing for Niche Audiences - Tips from Article Marketer

Article marketing has gained popularity as a tool for businesses to reach niche audiences. Article Marketer, the industry's most popular article submission service, offers some tips on how to streamline the process.

Hayward, Calif. (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- Article marketing has gained popularity as a tool for businesses to reach niche audiences. Article Marketer, the industry's most popular article submission service, offers some tips on how to streamline the process.

Entrepreneurs have become increasingly adept at identifying and reaching their target market online.

"Business owners know who they want to talk to," said Chris Ellington, CEO of Article Marketer. "What they need is a simple and affordable way to reach them."

Historically, companies have found it takes great effort to attract their target market straight to their business. As a result, a small group of savvy online business owners began to use basic marketing methods, such as article marketing, to reach a pre-gathered group of individuals in their target market.

The process starts with articles written by the business owner. These articles can pertain to anything relating to his or her industry. Once finished, articles are sent to publishers on the Web through an online article distribution service. The articles are only sent to pertinent publishers with a readership base interested in that particular topic.

"If this process wasn't successful in generating sales and profits, we'd note an obvious decline in the number of articles published," said Darryl Hupfer, managing director of Actuate Companies, LLC, a Boston-based marketing group. "Instead, we're seeing the opposite. We anticipate that article marketing will continue to expand as digital content demand increases. It's a great media opportunity."

Ellington has a few tips for savvy business owners looking to make the most of their marketing efforts.

- Narrow your focus.
Effective entrepreneurs know they can't reach everyone, so they work on gaining the loyalty and attention of a particular group. They are identifying the most effective means to reach the customers who they know will be interested in what they have to offer.

- Know your audience.
Target the audience with the content. There are a number of angles for any service that a business provides. You may be trying to appeal to parents, college students, single folk or the older generation. Figure out which audience to target, and tailor the content and the writing specifically for them.

- Keep the content fresh.
Companies should publish articles often, at least one or two articles a week. Not only does it keep the content timely, but it also keeps your name and business in circulation.

- Find a good distribution outlet.
This is a crucial element to your article marketing strategy. You may have the best business articles in the world, but it won't make a bit of difference if nobody can read them. Article Marketer puts out thousands of articles a day in a number of different categories, so chances are a business can easily find the necessary outlet for an article.

"The magic really happens when an article is published," said Ellington. "You automatically hit readers who are interested in what you have to say. Article marketing makes it easy for those customers to seek you out."

Literally thousands of articles a day are being submitted to Article Marketer. These authors understand the smart way to market is by partnering with established publishers. Don't miss a chance to have an article distributed to the online masses. For more information on article marketing, visit ArticleMarketer.com.
