<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>It's been a long time since I've visited Authors.com. I have been extremely busy with my writing. Here is a quick update.</p>
<p>I write what I call 'real-life fiction.' I take pieces of my life and that of others and then add in some fiction that results in a realistic sounding fiction tale that most will relate to.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>It's been a long time since I've visited Authors.com. I have been extremely busy with my writing. Here is a quick update.</p>
<p>I write what I call 'real-life fiction.' I take pieces of my life and that of others and then add in some fiction that results in a realistic sounding fiction tale that most will relate to.</p>
<p>In 2012 my 2009 self-published book, <em><strong>Sensitivity 101 ... the Search for Acceptance</strong></em>, was picked up a publisher after selling over 3000 copies. They changed the title to <strong><em>Misguided Sensitivity</em></strong> and developed a new cover for it. It is also available as an audiobook and E-book now too. Here it is ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561448958?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561448958?profile=original" width="252"/></a></p>
<p>To refresh your memory it is the beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery that a young boy of divorce takes while searching for acceptance and happiness.</p>
<p>The same publisher also produced my second book, <strong><em>Life Is a Balance</em></strong>, in early 2013. This is the second leg of the journey from <em><strong>Misguided Sensitivity</strong></em>. It also is available as an audiobook and E-book.</p>
<p>Both of these books were awarded <strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Gold Standard of Literary Excellence by The Princeton Review</span>.</span></strong></p>
<p>Here is the cover.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561449021?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561449021?profile=original" width="252"/></a></p>
<p>I then took up the production of my own books and covers. I was able to release 4 more titles. All have a common theme of divorce and how it affects those involved, expecially the children.</p>
<p>Here are their covers and a brief description.</p>
<p>First I was told by many reviewers that <em><strong>Misguided Sensitivity</strong></em> could be used as a training manual for teenage boys to learn how to treat females if it was 'cleaned up' a bit. So I did and released it as <em><strong>You're Never Alone</strong></em>. It is a YA version of the same story told by a teenager about his so-called life.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561449194?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="250" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561449194?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="250"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Then came my story about how great-grandparents can influence a young boy's life. <em><strong>Legends of the Lake</strong></em> tells the stroy of a far-away retreat where that young boy learns many life lessons from the people around him every summer as he grows up.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561452263?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="200" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561452263?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="200"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A romance novel inspired by how the people from your past can help you when you're down and out, even when you don't remember them at first, allowed <em><strong>Amore & More in Albuquerque</strong></em> to be written.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561452432?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="200" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561452432?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="200"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally, another real-life fiction novel. This one is about how a young teenager who goes thorugh his parent's divorce turns to horse racing as an escape only to find out what really can happen if you're not careful. <em><strong>The Other Side of Horse Racing</strong></em> chronicles his adventures.</p>
<p> </p>

<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1561452728?profile=original" target="_self"></a> I am working on my 5th self piublished book right now. It is tentatively titled, <em><strong>The Sengers Of Stiritz</strong></em>, and is a fictional account of a family history of coal mining back in the early days of Williamson County Illinois. I am hoping for a July release date.</p>

<div>I just wanted to take a small amount of your time and wish everyone Happy Holidays.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's been an exciting year for me and my writing. First off, my book "Sensitivity 101...The Search for Acceptance" did very well and was picked up by a publisher. It is off the market right now as the new publisher and I are re-editing it and coming up with a new title and cover. This new book and book number two in the series will be released sometime in Spring of 2012.</div>
<div> </div>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_13242441945152597">Second, I have two other books available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. They are "You're Never Alone", a revision of Sensitivity 101 in a PG rated form for teenagers 15 and over (and their parents). And "Legends of the Lake", a fiction story about family vacations and a special cottage in Wisconsin where life lessons were learned.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Both of these are $12.99 for paperback and $2.99 for Kindle or Nook versions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I look forward to my book of poetry, "What the Heart Feels" coming out in the next few weeks on Amazon.</div>

<p>My first book <strong><em>Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male</em></strong> was re-released by my publisher as <em><strong>Sensitivity 101 the Search for Acceptance</strong></em> back in July 2011. It has since been picked up by a traditional publisher and will be re-issued again in early 2012 under another name and cover. This gave me the opportunity to re-edit and add some new and exciting twists to it. Because of this, the book will only be on Amazon until the first of the year. They are having a sale on all editions--paperback and Kindle. Paperback only $12.44 and Kindle only $6.60.</p>
<p>Here is the link for it. <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinyurl.com/7y94xgb">http://tinyurl.com/7y94xgb</a></b></p>
<p>Also I self-published a Young Adult version, You're Never Alone, and it is also available on Amazon. One reviewer says, "This book needs to be fread by ALL teenagers and their parents."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As soon as the newly named first book is released I'll let you know. My sequel will also be released by the same publisher at about the same time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just finished my fourth manuscript, this one about family vacatoins and it will be published just after the first two.</p>

<p>Here is the new back cover-</p>
<p>Nana always said. “If you want people to remember you, you have to be a little different, you must always be sincere, and finally you have got to make them all feel special, <b><i>especially the girls.</i></b><i>” <b> </b></i>I’m sure she didn’t mean it the way that I took it.<i> </i></p>
<p> The journey we are on is a difficult one, even more so for those of a broken family. Follow the adventures of one such boy as he searches for the two desires we all have in common: to be accepted by others and to be truly happy.</p>
<p> Find out what happens when sensitivity and sex collide!</p>

<br />
This is one of those books where, in my opinion, the title does not adequately portray the content. Primary reason: Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male by Philip Nork is not just for males, or even for just heterosexual individuals. This book can be enjoyed by anyone who has an interest in understanding his or her sexual partner.<br />
<br />
The book is really a coming of age story about a boy. It is the personal story of Philip Nork, as he saw his life. A sensitive young man who found pleasure in understanding the feelings of others and working to fully respond to their needs and wishes.<br />
<br />
And wound up, for a time, becoming a gigolo...<br />
<br />
When a young boy has strong women in their young lives, especially if the father has deserted the family, it is quite easy to see his mother as a “hero,” a woman to be admired. But it is also possible, by “becoming the man” of the family at the age of eight, there are thoughts that arise, perhaps never discussed. Certainly a young boy may come to think that it is his fault that a divorce occurs.<br />
<br />
Philip’s grandmother also made sure religion was part of their lives and Sundays were spent learning about what God “wanted us to do, how he wanted us to behave, and what was right or wrong.” Of course, as a young boy, Philip was quick to realize that as a priest, he would never marry, never have sex, and never have kids. Sadly, later, that same priest was removed from the church for various offenses. Philip saw this as another man failing his role in his life.<br />
<br />
Philip fortunately connected with his great-grandmother, calling her Nana and she was perhaps the first person he was really able to talk to. She discussed religion with him and told him that treating people with respect was best. She was the first person who explained that he should try to be sincere and made people feel special, especially the girls.<br />
<br />
And when he met his first girl friend, Jenna, he began to confirm the points that would define Philip as a man, so much so that he started to create a list! In addition to the first one learned from Nana, he was able to add that he now knew that girls remember and cherish small things.<br />
<br />
As is often the case, as Philip was meeting females in his life, an older girl first seduced him. Interestingly, throughout his childhood and teen life, it was his sensitivity and caring nature that drew girls to him and when sex became involved, it was those lessons that he learned along the way that created the man he became. Indeed, he was only in his late teens when he was suggested to and accepted by a female pimp to serve women who were much older, one of whom turned out to be a friend of his own mother!<br />
<br />
No, this book does not advocate an early sexual life for men. It is just a true story that just might be the story that other boys have lived or will live in the future. The list is not have to find girls...the list is one that will help anybody to relate to other people. In a world where sexuality is so blatant, this book allows a boy, a teen, to learn both mistakes and how to make right choices as decisions about how they will share with girls are made.<br />
<br />
If I had a son, I would want him to read Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male by Philip Nork, albeit with a little female guidance of my own! Appreciation to the author must be given for his willingness to share this intimate, very personal story...<br />

“Mars and Venus…The battle of the sexes? Men and women alike will enjoy the book that just might end the relationship war!”</b><br />
First-time author Philip Nork and AuthorHouse are happy to announce the release of this “highly entertaining and unique trip back in time.” Follow a young boy on his confusing and challenging journey of self-discovery, and his yearning to become the “real” yet sensitive man he longs to be.<br />
<br />
Sit back and enjoy the incredible journey of a young boy whose parents get divorced, and how he tries desperately to be accepted for who he is and also attempts to be happy once again.<br />
<br />
Life lessons are all around us, you just have to see them and react accordingly. Along his journey a young boy learns lessons which all men need to know…ones that most women want them to use…such as:<br />
<br />
Be different, sincere, and make females feel special.<br />
Girls remember the good things and want to reciprocate.<br />
See the difference in everyone and celebrate it.<br />
Girls want to be heard: guys need to be better listeners.<br />
<br />
But as he applies these lessons, the young boy also learns another lesson: using a good thing the wrong way has its dire consequences.<br />
<br />
<b>Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male</b> allows the readers to not only experience a unique journey, but also to relive their own...and to see how the actions that they followed may have been perceived.<br />
<br />
“Women will want to have someone like Phil enter their life, while men will wish they were more like him. Either way, all will be thoroughly entertained.”<br />
<br />
