Review

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound? If you make music and nobody hears it, did it make a difference? So you love to make music. If that music is made out of inspiration, then it's going to move others. But to get your music to others you need a plan. I've been successful in the music business for 40 years, and I can tell you that Jaci's book The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money gives you that plan. You won't need to figure it out by trial and error. Now it's up to you to follow that plan and successfully spread your music." --Dennis Marcellino - Former member of Sly & The Family Stone, The Elvin Bishop Group, and The Tokens

"Jaci Rae is a one-women power house. She's had great success as an author, musician, radio show host and more.

A great primer on the music biz from an insider who has been there and done it on her own terms!" --Bob Baker, Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook

About the Author

Jaci Rae - Singer, Writer...Renaissance Woman Award Winning Singer, No. 1 Best Selling Author, Indie Crusader and Top Radio Show Host. No wonder they call her a renaissance woman! It would have been enough - more than enough - for anyone with a great voice and a dream. Win the Golden Music Awards "Female Vocalist of the Year"...earn the prestigious Levi Strauss award...garner a bunch of other industry awards...release some fantastic CDs ­ as Jaci has ­ and the average person could have died then with a great, big smile on their face. Jaci Rae is not your average person. Far from it, in fact. She is that rare woman in command of a range of creative skills, thoroughly able to impact the world with each one. A Singer...Like a River When Jaci started out in the music business, she was the greenest of greenies. An outsider's outsider. Faced with those kinds of impossible odds, the hopes of hundreds of thousands of other would-be singing stars have withered on the vine and died. It only made Jaci all the more determined. She had little idea how to launch her own singing career. There were, after all, no manuals on the subject. So she learned. Several years of trial and error later - of learning what made music execs and their unusual industry tick - yielded success. Great success in fact. To date, Jaci has achieved four number one singles on various stations across the country such as KOFI, KATX, KFTX and B105 to name a few, in her brand of heartfelt country...plus a top 15 spot on the ECMA charts in Europe. Her latest CD, Can't Push a River, is a critical and commercial success. Said DJ, Chris Allen, from Big Kat 98.9 in Minnesota: "There is so much heart and soul in Jaci's music! Incredible CD!" More praise followed. "This is a great CD. The first 2 songs are especially Terrific. All in all it's a great CD and should do well for her," said Grand Ole Opry Star, Ernie Ashworth. And from across the pond, Raymond Phillips from Country Harvest Radio in

More About the Author

It might have been enough for anyone with a great voice and a dream to win the Golden Music Award "Female Vocalist of the Year." It might even have been enough to earn the prestigious Levi Strauss award in addition to garnering a host of other industry awards. But when you're Jaci Rae, it just isn't enough.

You see, Jaci is a renaissance woman, and that means that almost on a daily basis new dreams are born and new ways to share her gifts with the world emerge.

Not only is Jaci a gifted and accomplished musician and singer, but she has also authored several children's books, non-fiction books, humor books and how-to manuals.

Yet Jaci is only getting started. Her grit and determination have brought her from an impoverished childhood to an award-winning singer, No. 1 best-selling author, relationship advisor/dating coach and entrepreneur who continues to empower other people.

For those who know Jaci its obvious that she's an uncommon person who understands what giving is all about so as a way of giving back, her writing focus has been designed to help people succeed through an understanding of music, understanding of life, and understanding of self. Due to her extraordinary successes, writing prowess and indisputably giving nature, Jaci thrives on finding ways to help others live more fulfilling lives. Having earned a reputation for her incredible insight and knowledge, she is often seen on television, heard on numerous radio stations, and is routinely invited to appear on advice panels.

A rare woman with a range of creative skills, Jaci's writing career began at the tender age of 8 years when she began expressing her curiosity for life through poetry. As her inquisitiveness continued to grow, by age 9, Jaci had read countless books on the study of communication, relationships and the human mind.

By age 15, Jaci began her formal education on the subject of psychology and by the time she entered college it was with a minor in psychology and a major in music. So when Jaci wrote her first book, "The Ultimate Guide to Music Success" it wasn't a big surprise that it became a major accomplishment and a reason to continue writing. Her next book, "The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money" made quite a dent in the music industry and the accolades were glowing.

Reginald Owens and his partner got college bookings, radio, and Internet airplay, and also the number nine spot in the CMJ (College Music Journal). And former A&M Artist Elisabeth Carlisle said: "I just read "The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money" and I might have to eat my words about no one coming along with a magic wand...Jaci Rae comes awfully close!! I wish I had half the information in this book several years ago! What a gift Jaci Rae is giving so many up-and-coming musicians. Thank you again for such a goldmine of information"

With one book after another under her belt, her next achievement turned out to be the #1 Nationally Best Selling book, "Winning Points With The Woman In Your Life One Touchdown At A Time - How To Score For Men and Women." This book addresses relational problems for men. In her book, Jaci brilliantly executes and creatively targets the most difficult audience on the planet, the American male. Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life is an original work, a refreshing, slightly tongue-in-cheek comparison of football and relationships that gives men a memorable way of visualizing male/female action and reaction.

Here's what readers had to say about the book. "Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time" by Jaci Rae is the best and only book I have ever seen that embraces men and does it with their interests in mind. I read this book cover to cover two times and found the information extremely useful and pertinent. It's fascinating and compelling, but most of all informative." - Dr. Dale A. Helman, Neurologist - Salinas, CA.

"I found Winning Points With The Love in Your Life One Touchdown at a Timeto be very informative and quite a descriptive read. It is a wonderful help to those men and women who would like to improve their relationships. The use of football metaphors greatly enhanced the subject matter and made it a fun and easy read that kept me turning the pages. I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it." -- Tim Miller, Operations Manager for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Now Jaci cleverly shares her newest work titled "Shop For a Day With Jaci Rae - How to Get Almost Anything For Free." In her latest book, readers reap the benefits of Jaci's own personal experience with money. Because her early years were hard, she was inspired to learn everything she could about money, making sure her experiences were more fruitful.

In "Shop For a Day" we learn everything about money; how to save it, spend it, why some have it and some don't, how to get value for your dollar, how to shop, where to shop, how to make money doing something you love, how to get almost anything for free, and much, much more. A must read book for anyone eager to understand, enjoy and be empowered by money.
With countless self-help books completed, her music career firmly on course and an array of accomplishments to her credit, Jaci is grateful for her blessings and excited about the future.
