Author Joni Ankerson discusses her new book from WildBlue Press TO KILL OR BE KILLED, her story of domestic violence, murder and prison. What could go wrong? He was like a dream man.  We clicked, immediately, and began dating exclusively.  But he was not a dream man. He was a nightmare … as I learned over the next twelve years. Twelve years of enduring domestic violence at its absolute worse. Constant abuse, control, manipulation, and threats.  Sadistic sexual deviance and sexual violence.  It was only going to end one way: someone would die in our bed and someone would go to prison for murder.  Purchase from WildBlue Press: https://wildbluepress.com/to-kill-or-be-killed-joni-ankerson-true-crime/ ********************************************************** More from ImaginePublicity on Air: http://imaginepublicity.com/podcasts/ Follow on Twitter @ImaginePublicty Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImaginePublicity/ Music: Bensound.Com

'TIL DEATH DO US....' by Patrick Gallagher One thing about true crime is you can’t make this stuff up and a good true crime author backs up the story they write with research and facts. Patrick Gallagher inherited a box full of facts that formed the basis of his book Til Death Do Us…. In August 1945, Gladys Lincoln of Sacramento contacted prosperous Dr. W. D. Broadhurst of Caldwell, Idaho, and rekindled a romance from twenty years earlier.  After many passionate letter exchanges and several sexually-charged meetings, they were married in Reno, Nevada on May 20, 1946.  After a passion-filled three-day weekend together, the doctor returned to his home in Idaho, and Gladys returned to Sacramento … and to her husband, Leslie Lincoln! But Gladys was much more than a bigamist.

Author Kedma Ough is an inspiration. Although she is now a leading force in the business world, with numerous awards (such as the SBA’s Small Business Champion of the Year) and accolades under her belt, Ough had a very rocky start. After fleeing an abusive relationship and finding herself utterly destitute, sleeping on friends’ sofas, in her car, and in an illegal, cockroach-infested basement, she found herself without means to pay for college. She wrote a letter to God, vowing that if she were to be awarded a scholarship, she would use her education and abilities to help others for the rest of her life.  True to her word, Ough went on to become a nationally renowned business coach and funding thought leader as well as an adviser to independent inventors. Dubbed the “small business superhero,” she has used her extraordinary depth of knowledge of financial funding opportunities to help more than 10,000 entrepreneurs achieve their business dreams. TARGET FUNDING is the printed fulfillment of her earlier promis
