As most of you know, most of my marketing clients are non-fiction authors. I’m pretty choosey about my clients, as I only want to work with authors who write books that bring real value to people and planet.
One such client is an inspiring woman named Erica Tucci. Today I’d like to share her story with you.
Erica is a stroke survivor.nearly years ago. Her stroke left her unable to walk for many months and she couldn’t even lift a b2c datasets finger on her paralysed side. She spent nearly two years in recovery at the Spero Rehab in Katy, Texas.
Prior to her stroke, Erica was a real go-getter. She was a corporate manager of a Fortune company. She was also a Reiki master, massage therapist, life coach, and author of three books. She told me she would push herself to work often hours a week. She moved fast, spoke fast and never took time to stop.
But then, life stopped her in her tracks when she collapsed onto the floor, unable to move.
Throughout her two-year rehabilitation, Erica took her situation as a message from the Universe that it was time to reassess the way she had been living her life. She realized that her stroke, while a traumatic, frightening and painful life-altering experience, was also a gift. It gave her the time and space to change: her thinking, her outlook, her priorities and her lifestyle.
The result of Erica’s inner and outer transformation is remarkable. Even though still in recovery and living on disability benefits, she calls herself a ‘Radiant Survivor’. She uses this term because she feels she has not only survived the devastation of the stroke, but she has become a better person. She has tapped into inner resources she never knew she had:
not just strength but softness
not just determination but the ability to trust and surrender
Now Erica has written a book called Radiant Survivor: How to Shine and Thrive through Recovery from Stroke, Cancer, Abuse, Addiction and Other Life-Altering Experiences. It is a collection of inspiring stories from Erica and other ‘radiant survivors’, along with many practical exercises she hopes will inspire anyone facing their own life-altering experience. Her hope is that this book will help thousands of people around the world who may be facing a serious life trauma.
The book will be coming out on November th
There’s a reason why I’m telling you Erica’s story so many months in advance.
To edit, publish and launch any book costs money. Because she is still living on disability benefits with very limited funds, Erica is running a crowd-funding campaign to raise the money she needs for this project, so she can bring this book to those in need.
