Press Release Body: Patricia Johnson & Mark Michaels' Second Book Garners Mention in
Annual Book Awards

The annual Indie Excellence Awards recently announced their 2008 selections, and
"Tantra for Erotic Empowerment" garnered mention as a finalist in the "New Age
Nonfiction" category. The Indie Excellence Awards were created in 2006 to honor
independent publishers and their titles, and attract attention to an
under-represented part of the book marketplace.

"We are so excited and honored that our newest book has been selected as a
finalist", says co-author Patricia Johnson. "We find that, more and more, people
are looking for ways of creating a more authentic, joyful sex life, and the
techniques that we discuss in this book have been so well received by our students
and attendees at our workshops. We are thrilled to be able to help even more people
to find their bliss!"

Adds Mark Michaels, "We hope that readers of our first book, The Essence of Tantric
Sexuality (Llewellyn Worldwide, June 2006) will find even more techniques and ideas
to incorporate into their lives, as well as some thought provoking information to
help them clarify their desires and goals."

may be ordered through amazon.com, the authors website (www.tantrapm.com), or
