This was the shuttle we watched from outside our house in FL each time it took to flight, so seeing "our" shuttle explode real time on TV when we moved to AL was like a violent death in the family. #lifestories #history #Challenger
On the 40th anniversary of the Challenger explosion, 60 Minutes revisits a 1996 interview with engineers who said they tried to stop the launch. The space shuttle broke apart shortly after liftoff, killing all seven crew members, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. cbsn.ws/4akVzu0

On January 28, 1986, NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger exploded and all seven astronauts on board were killed, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. Ten years later, Lesley Stahl spoke with engineers who told 60 Minutes they tried to stop the launch.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Remember the victims, and do not repeat the silence that implies consent. Do not let lies blind you from seeing. It didn't suddenly happen one day... it took time to groom the people. #history #holocaust #oppression #murder

For most author's it's not worth the big $$$$ to hire a publicist, OTOH most authors fail at marketing. However, it's long-tail marketing so you don't have to be everything, everywhere, all at once. #writingcommunity #authors #bookmarketing
Should you hire a book publicist? There's no one right answer for all. I tell every author: don't expect the investment to come back to you in the form of sales. But it can be a worthwhile investment that delivers a career-long boost.
