_Press Release_
Gay Hendricks, author of “Five Wishes: How Answering One Simple Question Can Make Your Dreams Come True,” will be at Readers’ Books on Tuesday, January 15^th , at 7:30 p.m., to explain how a question asked of him at a party led to both a loving, lasting relationship and to this book.
Hendricks was asked the question by a stranger who suggested that turning a wish into a goal and putting it into the present tense would change his life. He did and it did. In the book and in seminars he holds all over the world, Hendricks guides people through imagined regrets into goals-not-yet-met. He holds that by envisioning a future in which you’ve missed out on the very things you most want, you both develop focus and commitment, and also discover how easy some dreams are to achieve. The book includes worksheets for readers to articulate their own desires and strategies for pursuing them.
Gay Henricks is the author of more than 20 books, including the bestselling “Conscious Living and Conscious Loving,” and is the founder of the Spiritual Cinema Circle. He lives in Ojai, CA.
Readers’ Books is at 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 707-939-1779.

Thursday, January 17, 7:30 p.m. *Rebecca Lawton* and* Jordan E. Rosenfeld *authors of “Write Free: Attracting the Creative Life,” will be at Readers’ Books, 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma. For more information, call 707-939-1779.
_Press Release_
Rebecca Lawton and Jordan E. Rosenfeld, authors of “Write Free: Attracting the Creative Life,” will be at Readers’ Books on Thursday, January 17^th , at 7:30 p.m., to present a mini-workshop using the principles of their book. .
“Write Free” relies on a universal principle in which like attracts like. Lawton and Rosenfeld use their writing energy to consciously attract the lives they want. They have found that just as they can create worlds, images, essays, and stories with words, they can also create the artist’s life they want. And so can you.
For Lawton, the Write Free system works especially well when joined with appreciating the natural world. She was one of the first women river guides in the West. She wrote about her experiences and her instinctive sense of the river in “Reading Water: Lessons from the River.” She has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize in nonfiction and in poetry and won the Ellen Meloy Fund 2006 Award for Desert Writers. She lives in Sonoma, where she is an editor of Kulupi Press, dedicated to publishing and distributing “publications with a sense of place.”
Rosenfeld is a fiction writer, freelance journalist, and editor who uses Write Free in all her work. She is the author of “Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time.” She is the former host of “Word by Word” on KRCB Radio and regularly contributes book reviews to the California Report on KQED Radio. Her stories and articles have appeared in a variety of literary journals and magazines.
Readers’ Books is at 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 707-939-1779.
