BMI = BS

I said it. I meant it. The current BMI scale used in America is based on bullshit. " The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to assist the government in allocating resources.

They are the bane of our existence, but we need them. Basic Terms Blurb: A short introduction to your book that will entice people to buy it.

A condensed version of your book blurb you can say in less than a minute. This is what you use for face to face conversations. You can use comp...

Angel's Dance

Angel's Dance Angel's Dance is the sequel to Heidi Angell 's book Elements of a Broken Mind . If you haven't read that one, which I also loved , you really should. If you choose to miss out on that wonderful book you can read the second book on it's own. This story picks up only 6 months after the first book. Six long, life changing months after the explosive ending.

She is interrupted one stormy night by Grant pounding on her door. Grant's daughter, Kat, has been kidnapped and the police have no leads. A daughter he had never mentioned to her. Clear, and her psychic abilities, is his only hope. Despite the fact that she nearly died the last time she helped him, and that she will have to travel to a large city to look for the girl, she can't say no to him. As usual, Heidi's story snags you fr...
