Back in Time Tarot - Upcoming Book by Janet Boyer

Hi all,

I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed a contract with Hampton Roads Publishing and that they are releasing my book in Fall 2008.

The Back in Time Tarot Book: Picture the Past, Experience the Card, Understand the Present uses an innovative technique I've created called the Back in Time (BIT) Method. Engaging, entertaining and insightful, the BIT Method Snapshots re-create scenes from pop culture, literature, history and personal experience using Tarot cards.

In addition to my own BIT Snapshots, over a dozen Tarot authors and deck creators have contributed their own take on my BIT Method in The Back in Time Tarot Book, including Mary K. Greer, Joan Bunning, Teresa Michelsen, Lisa Hunt, Mark McElroy, Riccardo Minetti, Zach Wong and other published luminaries.

You can read my specially created BIT Snapshots that aren't in The Back in Time Tarot Book in my regular column in Tarot World Magazine.

Feel free to stop by my AmazonConnect Blog to post your comments and questions or just to say "hi"!

-- Janet
