Danielle Palli
A prolific writer, Danielle Palli has written two children’s books about yoga (written in a story format), a science fiction series, a cozy mystery/romance series and a self-growth workbook and “mini” book. She excels at quirky characters and witty dialogue. Some of her inspiration comes from travels abroad and she often incorporates a “hint” of the supernatural. Her female characters are kickass strong and even if you think a character is meek and timid, watch out for the finale.
Working with Danielle is always fun and her sense of humor and insight into human nature are things that also make her a great author. She is one of those people that you could talk to for hours and find that time just flew by. Danielle also works as a book editor, produces podcasts and records audiobooks (possessing a soothing, calm voice). She has a Master’s Degree in Professional Writing and is a Board-Certified Positive Psychology & Mindfulness Coach, Intuitive Coach, and Spiritual Advisor.
“I have been working with Cindy Readnower and Skinny Leopard Media since 2011 and have published nine novels with her company so far. In that time, she has provided publishing, editing and marketing support, going above and beyond to stay on top of Indie publishing trends. She is the best in the industry, and I highly recommend her services.” –Danielle Palli – Best-selling author of The Data Collectors Trilogy, multigenre author and book coach
Johnny MedicineBear
Taking four years to write his first book, Johnny produced over 500 pages about the transformation of his life. A fascinating story, Johnny grew up to become a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War. He chronicles his transition from an abused child to college educated engineer and on to pilot. He never felt fear and lived for the skies. Along with this also came an addiction to alcohol and a life of risk taking. After becoming sober, he began and completed another career as a commercial pilot for a major airline.
During his journey, he became more and more aware of who he was inside and where he wanted to go. Eschewing a “normal” life, he studied with a Shaman, gave up his big home to live in a motor coach and drove a chrome-plated Harley Davidson. He taught himself to play the Native American flute, guitar, and harmonica. He took a spiritual journey to Ireland, Spain and India (studying in an Ashram) and during an intense 7-month period, transformed himself into a spiritual man intent on being of service to the world. Making amends for his role in Vietnam was one of the reasons for writing his book.
Johnny likes to say he has the heart of a six-year-old living in a slightly more mature body.
“While interviewing publishers for my recently completed book during
November of 2023, a friend recommended Cindy Readnower of “Skinny
Leopard Media.” I wanted a publisher that was knowledgeable, patient,
and available. I knew after my first conversation with Cindy that she
was the one to guide me through the process and publish my book. She
did it all and more at a very reasonable fee. I’ve found her very easy
to work with, very knowledgeable, and very responsive to my many
questions. She’s gone many extra miles for me and I highly recommend
Cindy Readnower of Skinny Leopard Media as publisher for anyone’s book
project. Give her a call. She’s the best.” -Johnny MedicineBear – Author of From Savage to Shaman
