"Single 101: 101 Reasons to Celebrate Being Single" Celebrates Book Launch

Columbus, Ohio- Flying Solo Publishing is proud to announce the release of “Single 101: 101 Reasons to Celebrate Being Single” by author and Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Celeste Friedman. The book will launch on June 30, 2010 and will be available on Amazon.com and other digital online retailers.

In “Single 101”, Celeste opens a Pandora’s Box of what lives in the hearts of single men and women. Revealing funny truths, common principles and basic needs, she salutes those who enjoy their independence and fearlessly tread outside of the mainstream. Friedman gives allegiance and support to singles who are content living alone, unveiling the truth that not all single people are lonely, abandoned and desperate to find a mate.


“I’ll be the first to admit that it’s complicated to live with me”, says Friedman. “My passion for writing and composing consumes my days and nights; I don’t function in a messy environment; and I prefer the bed all to myself”.


Celeste claims that after two marriages and a few boyfriends who temporarily played the role of Mr. Right, she has been far more successful living alone. Since opting to fly solo, she has been nominated for a Grammy Award and two European Indie Artist of the Year Awards; scored for a Pulitzer Prize-nominated play; received several honors and citations in music and education; nominated for two Pat Weaver Awards for contributions in television; and her work has been featured in the Ottawa International Animation Film festival, as well as Festival de Cannes in 2008.


Empowerment . . . Freedom to Pursue Your Passion . . . No In-Laws . . . Spontaneity


“You’ll laugh, cry, smile and find “Single 101” to be very poignant, matter-of-fact and real. It’s an opportunity to look within, discovering an empowering tranquility”.
                                                                                . . . Author P. Emily McLaughlin


The writing of the book has also launched a musical ‘One-Woman Show’, sharing the celebration live on stage. Check out her blog at: www.Single-101.blogspot.com, filled with thoughts and musings on the single lifestyle. An official book launch, signing and performance will be announced soon.
