Author of You-Turn, Dr. Nancy Irwin To Lecture and Sign at Reiter’s Books, Washington, DC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 12, 2008 -- Los Angeles, CA/ August 12, 2008- Dr. Nancy Irwin, author of You-Turn, will be holding a lecture and book signing for her collection of midlife inspiring stories on Saturday, August 16th at the Reiter’s Books at 1990 K Street NW in the middle of George Washington University Campus, Washington, DC. The event will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will be followed by a question and answer session and autograph session.

Like a Chicken Soup for the Soul for Baby Boomers, You-Turn is for the fearful and frozen….anyone who feels stuck in struggle yet really wants to move forward. Dr. Irwin states, “I’ve included some professional tips on navigating change at any age, but the emphasis of the book is on the stories told in first person. I did not want to write an academic ‘do-this-in-order-to-feel-that’ book, because what has helped me reinvent myself so many times was seeing real-life people do amazing things. I figured if they could do it, why couldn’t I? Twenty- and thirty-something’s especially can benefit from these stories so they will feel free to explore, question choices, and change directions, to avert what used to be called a “middle age crisis.” We now call it a middle age blaze!!!”

Originally from Atlanta, where she trained as an opera singer, Dr. Irwin moved to New York City in 1985 to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian. She worked all over the country and abroad, and moved to L.A. in 1994 when she heard that Hollywood needed more blondes…Dr. Irwin has now become a psychologist and clinical therapeutic hypnotist.
