The first thing people notice about The Power of Authors isn’t the cover or the chapter titles. It’s the feeling rising off its pages. Something quiet, steady, and unmistakably human runs through it, as if the book leans forward and says, “Your words hold more influence than you realize.”
Readers sense this long before they finish the first chapter.
Rose Anderson felt it with enough force to write a public thank-you. Her Amazon review reads more like a breath exhaled after a long uphill climb. She calls the book “a one-of-a-kind treasure,” a companion for anyone standing at any stage of the writing journey—dreaming, drafting, finishing, or beginning again. Her gratitude spills across the page, not in flattery, but in the relief of someone finally seen.
Marissa Conklin felt it, too. Her praise comes wrapped in surprise, almost disbelief, because the book acknowledges voices often overlooked. Her description of being honored as an “author who defended the invisible” says something powerful—recognition matters. Encouragement matters. A champion who tells a writer their story deserves daylight can change everything. For Marissa, the experience didn’t simply affirm her work; it rewrote her understanding of what a publisher can be. She now calls Evan and Lois a blessing, the kind of partners who lift writers through both courage and craft.
Then there’s the unnamed writer whose reflection speaks for thousands. Many books explore literature’s influence across ages, but The Power of Authors speaks directly to the writer holding a pen today. It offers no formulas, no shortcuts, no promises of fame. It stands apart because it delivers something deeper—purpose. A reminder carried through the centuries: one voice with moral conviction still moves cultures, corrects wrongs, and lights candles in dark corners.
Jane Evanson’s foreword opens a window into the heart behind the pages. Her story from a writing workshop lingers long after reading. A room full of hesitant people, another moment of uncertainty, and then a single brave soul breaks the silence with a humorous line scribbled on paper. A laugh moves through the group. Shoulders lower. Walls soften. Creativity enters.
It’s the same shift The Power of Authors brings to its readers.
Through stories of well-known writers and everyday storytellers alike, the book reveals something profound: writing for publication isn’t the territory of giants. It belongs to anyone willing to place truth, memory, experience, or hope on a page. It belongs to the wilderness guide who captured Alaska’s rugged honesty in Hunting the Way it Was in Our Changing Alaska. It belongs to the town resident who chronicled the mysterious legacy behind Cures and Chaos, helping a community heal decades after tragedy.
These writers weren’t chasing prestige. They stepped forward because a story tugged on their sleeve. They wrote to preserve moments, honor loved ones, defend the unseen, heal wounds, illuminate truth, or offer a gift to anyone willing to read.
That’s the quiet brilliance of this book.
Every chapter extends an invitation: use writing for good. For courage. For compassion. For the future. Not as a monument, but as a bridge.
For influencers, media hosts, and interviewers searching for voices grounded in purpose, The Power of Authors speaks to something our world sorely needs. The book reminds readers that movements begin when ordinary people choose to say something meaningful. Every chapter pulls back the curtain on how written words—small or grand—still shape lives, communities, and cultures.
It shows how encouragement becomes influence.
How influence becomes responsibility.
How responsibility becomes legacy.
The Power of Authors offers a message worth spreading, discussing, and presenting to audiences who crave substance over noise. It reveals the force carried by people who never saw themselves as influential until their stories touched someone else.
Readers leave changed—not because they learned how to write, but because they learned why.
Influencers understand stories with moral weight. They recognize when a message isn’t manufactured, but earned through years of guiding hesitant writers toward confidence. This book carries that rare authenticity. It speaks to the grandmother writing a family history, the veteran reflecting on a lifetime of service, the patient documenting recovery, the child of immigrants preserving memory, the community member holding truth until someone is ready to hear it.
It speaks to anyone who has wondered if a single voice can still matter.
For those sharing its message—podcasters, radio hosts, panel moderators, educators, book club leaders—this book offers rich ground for conversation. Not surface talk. Not industry chatter. Real discussion about courage, influence, fear, legacy, healing, truth, and the unseen impact of putting words into the world.
The Power of Authors stands ready for audiences hungry for meaning.
Hungry for hope.
Hungry for reminders of what grows when ordinary people choose to speak.
If you ever needed evidence of why this book deserves wider attention, consider this: readers don’t simply recommend it. They claim it changed them. They write with their hearts full. They ask others to read it because they feel braver, more capable, more ready to write the world better.

We hear authors complain about all the personal stuff on Facebook. Most of these complaints are because the author doesn’t understand the difference difference between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page. Simply put, a profile is for personal things for friends and family; a page is for business. If your book is just a hobby, then it’s fine to have only a Facebook profile and make your posts for friends and family; however, if you’re serious about your writing, and it’s a business with you, or you want it to be business, then you need a Facebook page as an author. It’s simple to tell if it’s a page or a profile. A profile shows how many friends and a page shows how many likes. Here’s a link <> to a straight forward description on how to set up your author Facebook page.
