Marcia Fine - Author and Speaker

Book Excerpt, Chapter Twenty-One

"Stress Relief Tip: Watsu water massage takes the weight off your body. With gentle twists and pulls the pressures of a stressful life disappear."
-Water for Healthy Living

April and Glee engineer an intervention. They hijack me for a day at the spa. They claim it’s to relieve terminal crabbiness, but I know it’s their way of telling me I’m not making enough time for them.

Event Review From March 30, 2011

Hello Marcia-

We met at the Woodland Friends of the Library Author event March 30, 2011, and I just wanted to reiterate that I really enjoyed your presentation. In addition to being a dynamic speaker, the presentation content and the question and answer period afterward was informative. I've heard nothing but positive remarks from others who attended.

Thanks again,
Emily
