Review Tour: The Last Gambit by Om Swami

Congratulations to tour winner Rae C. and to host winners The Reading Addict and Sharing Links and Wisdom.
Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual REVIEW ONLY Tour for The Last Gambit by Om Swami, a 208 page General Fiction - Coming of Age available now from Black Lotus (tour organized by Garima Om). The tour will run every Tuesday for 4 weeks starting on September 19, and the book is available in mobi and ePub formats.

One commenter, randomly drawn via Rafflecopter, will receive a $20 Amazon/BN GC and one host, randomly drawn via Rafflecopter, will receive a $20 Amazon/BN GC. Goddess Fish Promotions will award another randomly drawn host a $5 Amazon GC.

Success by design is infinitely better than a win by chance. Vasu Bhatt is fourteen years old when a mysterious old man spots him at a chess tournament and offers to coach him, on two simple but strange conditions: he would not accompany his student to tournaments, and there was to be no digging into his past. Initially resentful, Vasu begins to gradually understand his master’s mettle.

Over eight years, master and student come to love and respect each other, but the two conditions remain unbroken – until Vasu confronts and provokes the old man. Meanwhile, their hard work and strategy pay off: Vasu qualifies for the world chess championship. But can he make it all the way without his master by his side?

Inspiring, moving and mercurial, The Last Gambit is a beautiful coming of age tale in a uniquely Indian context.

Blurb Blitz: The Wellness Sense by Om Swami

Congratulations to tour winner Robin A. and to host winner T's Stuff.

Thank you for your interest in hosting this tour, but all stops have been filled.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Blurb Blitz Tour for The Wellness Sense by Om Swami, a Health & Fitness book available now from Harper Collins. The tour will run July 10 - August 4, and this tour will not include interviews or guest blogs; however, a blurb, excerpt and author bio will be provided to every host for inclusion on their blog. A mobi or epub copy of the book is available for review in conjunction with a promo post.

One randomly drawn commenter will be awarded a $25 Amazon/BN GC via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $25 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn host. (Please note, the author is not supplying the prizes).

Why do certain foods harm some people and help others?

Why do the results of a weight loss programme vary from individual to individual?

And why do some people fall sick more often than others?

The science of Ayurveda holds answers to these questions and many more. Its scriptures took a holistic approach to health by combining our lifestyle with our natural tendencies (which vary from one person to another).

This groundbreaking new work from Om Swami combines the yogic view of food as sattvic, rajasic and tamasic with the Ayurvedic perspective, and further relates it to the modern view of food as acidic and alkaline. This is also the first time Ayurvedic prakriti (vata, pitta and kapha) has been discussed in the context of yogic prakriti (sattvic, rajasic and tamasic) in a truly cohesive fashion.

The Wellness Sense is a simple, step-by-step handbook on how to take better care of yourself. Accessibly written, deeply researched and distilled from Om Swami’s own livid experience, The Wellness Sense puts your health and happiness in your hands.
