New book trailer for 'Corners; Voices on Change"

I'll be honest here.  We had a book trailer created for Corners when it first came out.  We never released it because it felt like the wrong tone.  The music sounded like an alternate theme to the Mission Impossible movie series.  Corners; Voices on Change is about the lives of those who faced change with courage and sometimes even with grit and bold action.  Yet, the changes are sometimes represented in tough internal work or even beautiful ideas made manifest.  These writers explore changes necessary for flourishing and growing and going on.

I finally got brave and figured out how to edit the video and face the music. Sometimes it takes a while to find the courage to do something new.  With no budget to have the video redone, I (Amy Lou) had to learn to change the score.  Jack Walker Press now offers you a new way to consider Corners; Voices on Change.

"If you're feeling stuck, stagnant, or burned out, Corners: Voices on Change edited by Amy Lou Jenkins might just be the book for you. With the common thread of change and transformation running through this collection of 25 stories, essays, and other musings on paper, Corners strikes a happy balance between the advice-giving nature of the self-help genre and the storytelling feature of autobiographies and memoirs. It's like attending a group therapy session or a retreat where you get to listen to the wisdom of a diverse array of people--mothers, grandmothers, writers, poets, teachers, travelers, students, singers, combat veterans--who each have a noteworthy story to share.
... there's no denying the book's potential to inspire and move people to reflect and act on their past, present, and future circumstances."
