For Immediate Release


First-time Beauty Author Out to Conquer the World,
One Eyebrow at a Time…


TORONTO, ON - Kerri Thomson’s self-published debut, Sometimes Less is Not More: A Fabulous Guide to Fabulous Makeup, is not your typical step-by-step beauty guidebook. It is written more like a good gossip with girlfriends, going so far as to give tips on throwing the perfect makeup party at which the book would be the honored guest. Its pictures are black and white drawings that illustrate the text rather than overtake it completely. Overall, it makes for a very different how-to book experience than what you might be used to.

When asked why the author would choose to self publish through an online print-on-demand service rather than try the traditional publishing route, Ms. Thomson’s reasons were clear. “Although at times I can be idealistic, I do understand how the world works. I know that without a professional writing background or big name celebrity clientele, agents and publishers would not likely give me a second glance.”

Not about to let a little thing like that stop her, she continued with her quest for publication on her own terms. “I chose to publish Less is Not More myself through Lulu (www.lulu.com) because I felt that it was as good as anything else on the market, and that if enough people could read it they might think so too. And I’m also a bit of a control freak, and with Lulu I had complete control from start to finish. I was able to choose everything from the artwork that went into it to the final selling price. I even designed the cover myself!”

Sometimes Less is Not More: A Fabulous Guide to Fabulous Makeup is available for purchase at http://www.lulu.com/lipstickpress in a print version which retails for $12.67 US (approx. $15 CDN) or e-book format.
