Just Pressed: New Books by Authors on WordPress.com
From a comic diary to a collection of essays on culture and belonging, the most recent published works by WordPress.com authors are great additions to your bookshelf.
Gabrielle Bell, a cartoonist based in Brooklyn, New York, has published a new book, Truth Is Fragmentary: Travelogues & Diaries. Raw, revealing, and sometimes surreal, this comic diary serves up what Gabrielle is known for — her humor and introspection — as she muses on daily life and chronicles her travels around the world, from France to Sweden to Colombia.
Gabrielle is a WordPress.com blogger to watch: in the past, her work has been selected for numerous notable anthologies (such as the Best American Comics series) and her last book, The Voyeurs, was named a best graphic memoir of 2012.
In addition to Truth is Fragmentary, check out her multi-part series, Siberia, and other cool projects — from panels to posters — on her blog.

Marilyn R. Gardner, the blogger at Communicating Across Boundaries, also has a new book released this month: a collection of essays, based on her blog posts, titled Between Worlds: Essays on Culture and Belonging.
Marilyn started her blog in 2011 after returning from a relief trip to Pakistan — with the hope of finding her voice.
Three years later, Marilyn has grown her blog into a space for thoughtful writing on cross-cultural communication, faith, third culture kids, travel, and the Middle East.
Between Worlds, which weaves these themes into one compilation, is tangible proof that Marilyn indeed found the voice she had been looking for.

“Are you an author on WordPress.com? Have you recently published a book? Leave a comment and let us know.”
I’m one of the WordPress.com authors. I have several blogs that support my work. In fact, the evidence suggests that without my WordPress.com blogs, my work would be selling a few hundred copies annually instead of thousands of copies. My first book came out in December 2007, and “My Splendid Concubine” has sold more than 20,000 copies to date and is still selling well—for instance 170 copies so far this month. Last month the book sold more than 3,000 copies.
Sales didn’t take off until after I launched my first serious, dedicated WordPress.com Blog:
http://ilookchina.net/
My third book is a memoir: “Crazy is Normal, a classroom expose”. I was a public school teacher for thirty years (1975-2005), and for one full year, I kept a detailed, daily journal, that almost twenty years later became the primary source of this memoir.
http://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Normal-classroom-Lloyd-Lofthouse-ebook/dp/B00L00EM8A
The memoir came out in June for the Ebook and July for the paperback.
One of the first three reviews from Tim M. says, “Lloyd has written an honest and fascinating story of a year in the working life of a dedicated California public school teacher. This is a must read for those thinking of becoming a teacher, is a public school teacher or administrator, or has children in the public school system.
“What works most effectively is how Lloyd shows the contrast between the two student extremes – the top achievers who take what Lloyd offers and learns how to conquer the world, and the many slackers who appear determine to sabotage their teacher’s best efforts to teach them the skills they need for a successful future.”

Hi Everyone.
My name is Damien Comerford and I have been a journalist for 30 years. I have just written a non fiction book called Cover Up. Here is a synopsis:
Cover Up tells the stories of five extraordinary events, which sent shock waves around the globe. Five of the world’s biggest crime stories. They include the deaths of Princess Diana, Pope John Paul I and US Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Five stories that remain as mysterious, enigmatic and compelling as the day they happened. Cover Up takes the reader on a journey of new discovery. Reinvestigating each crime, deconstructing the official investigations, examining in detail the forensic clues and information that was overlooked as well as uncovering new evidence.
The book will be released in August.

Hi Cheri and WordPress Folks,
After writing my blog for two years I looked at it last summer and thought, “I think I may have a book here.” Nearly one year later my book: Less Stress Business: A Guide for Hiring, Coaching, and Leading Great Employees was published! (on Amazon.com)
When asked to rate the stress they experience around managing people, on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being maxed-out stress), many business owners, managers, and executives rate themselves at a 9 or 10. There is a high cost to all of this stress both in workplace tension, personal health, and a lack of work/life balance. My book helps leaders learn how to lessen this stress and lead with more calm and clarity than they ever imagined was possible.
So, thank you Cheri and WordPress for giving authors like myself an opportunity to spread the word about their writing.
Good luck to all the writers in our community,
Jamie

It’s got quirky characters, comedy, drama, surprises…and I’ve been told it’s a fun read all-around.

Ayla, a Light loving, Guardian of Childfey hides more than a few secrets; secrets that isolate her and set her apart. Secrets that bring her to the attention of one who comes in shadow and silence; one who watches, waiting for the ideal moment to step from the darkness, reveal the truth about himself and alter the course of her life forever.
