Press release — a look behind the curtain
The work on a book doesn’t stop once it’s published. That’s when some of the most challenging work begins. Without marketing efforts, a book will hit the market, and no one will know it exists. In a sense, authors have to shout from the mountaintops about their books. You have to tell people what your book is about and how they can get their hands on it.
With that in mind, I recently sent a press release to my local media (see below). If you know anyone interested in learning more about Healed on the Inside, please feel free to share the release with them or let me know, and I’ll do it. As always, thanks for any help!

Polk County Man Documents Cancer and Faith Journey in New Book
May 31, 2024, Bartow, FL. – Jeff Foley of Bartow published Healed on the Inside: The Power of God’s Love, a Family’s Battle with Cancer, and a Will to Live on May 21, 2024. The memoir hit the top 50 of Amazon.com’s “survival biographies” list during its first week of publication. A public relations professional, Foley is also the author of War on the Floor: An Average Guy Plays in the Arena Football League and Lives to Write About It.
Healed on the Inside is Foley’s story of turning to God and family in his battle against cancer. He was diagnosed with melanoma on Dec. 23, 2022, and he had four surgeries at Moffitt Cancer Center in 2023. He also dealt with unexpected hospital stays, a recurrence, an infection, and treatments. While he is now in remission, Healed on the Inside examines Foley’s efforts to be a husband, dad, and employee while fighting for his life.
Foley wrote Healed on the Inside to inspire anyone facing a crisis, health-related or otherwise. As Foley says in Healed on the Inside, God gives us the ability to “live while we’re alive.” It’s up to us to take advantage of that opportunity, no matter how hard the battle.
“Healed on the Inside is the book I would have wanted someone to hand me when I was diagnosed,” Foley said. “It’s a book that gives hope. It’s not a cancer book. It’s about thriving while surviving. It’s about leaning on God and family to live your best life in hard times.”
Healed on the Inside is available on Amazon.com in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats. An audiobook is forthcoming, and a documentary is being developed. Foley’s website is www.JeffFoleyBooks.com.
