Bringing you exclusive interviews with authors featured in the Book Savvy Newsletter. Our Guest is Fred Maddox * Enjoy the interview. Q1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your book 'A Genuine Fake?' I had been around the motor car business since leaving school until early retirement. I initially started as an apprentice mechanic at a large Rover dealer and then filtered into the spares side of the industry working for a national chain of wholesalers progressing to regional manager.   A Genuine Fake is a story of how a young lady struggles with her antiques business against what she sees as unfair competition.

‘Mammograms Saves Lives’ featured on the Breast Cancer Site. The story: "I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2011. I have written my story in order to raise awareness and encourage every woman between the ages of 50 and 70 to go for a mammogram. In the UK, the NHS offers this service free to women every three years, but sadly, 25% do not take advantage. After my mammogram, I received the devastating news that I had breast cancer. I felt well, had no symptoms, have never smoked, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly, so how the hell did I get this? There was no explanation, it can happen to anyone! The doctor couldn’t even find a lump and had to detect the tumour using an ultrasound."... ►Read & SHARE◄ her story to encourage the women you love to get their annual mammogram. supportthefightagainstbreastcancer.com Since its release some days ago, Avril's story has received 8366 ‘Likes’ on the Breast Cancer Site’s Facebook page. https://www.facebo

They also help executives position themselves as industry thought leaders. After all, not many executives and companies have written a book -- or have a book written about them.  With a book i
