Learning to Treat Insomnia With a "Novel" Approach

Dr. Jose Colon treats sleep disorders without drugs, but with behavior modification.  And he gets his point across in the short novel, The Sleep Diet.  He explains the idea behind this method of conveying his approach, and he talks about  The Magic Ice Cream Palace, a children's book he has written to help young ones develop healthy sleep practices.

Dr. Colons books are published by Halo Publishing, the international publisher begun by Northeast Ohio native Lisa Umina.  Several Halo authors have been featured on the 11th Hour, including Denise Zarrella of 19 Action News, who writes about her daughter Gianna, and JJ DiGeronimo, founder of purposefulwoman.com.

Lisa Umina has helped dozens of people publish their first books through her company, Halo Publishing International.  The Nordonia High School graduate gained her skills after she self-published her first book, Milo and the Halo.  Since then, her journey has taken her to Mexico City, where her company is now based.

Lisa came back home for Thanksgiving (and the annual Turkey Trot,) and stopped by the AM 1420 studios to talk with Jim about publishing the books of authors like Lori Demonia, JJ DiGeronimo, and 19 Action News reporter Denise Zarella, whose book Not Even the Sky is the Limit was inspired by her daughter, and highlights the abilities of children and adults with Down Syndrome.
