ABC'S AMERICAN INVENTOR TV SHOW, TOP 12 FINALIST and WINNER OF $50,000, Jodi Pliszka, now tells her life struggle in her award winning autobiography, BALD IS BEAUTIFUL—MY JOURNEY TO BECOMING (ISBN 1-933449-10-1, $16.95) where she describes the process of developing her mission in life and how she turned her hair loss into an asset. There are behind the scenes stories from Ms. Pliszka's time on the AMERICAN INVENTOR TV SHOW, as well. Her autobiography will be released in JUNE 2007.

Ms. Pliszka, who has Alopecia Universalis herself, first wrote her children's books to guide and inspire children who undergo chemotherapy and children with Alopecia Areata, Totalis, or Universalis, who lose their hair and instantly feel different.

"When I first met Jodi, I knew she was unique, as were her books. She has such a huge well of energy and determination to bring her message to the world, I was delighted to be able to provide her the first step on her road by publishing her children's books," Ms. Connelly, Publisher at Nightengale Press, said. "I have no doubt that her autobiography will inspire others like herself to discover the power of their lives in spite of hair loss, or any "difference" they may endure. The very fact that she developed an invention that will change lives by making wearing wigs, hats and helmets much more comfortable and hygienic for millions of people, reflects how she took a bad situation and made it fantastic. Everything she does is meant to improve the lot of others through her books and through the Headline It!"

The Headline It! product, just like her children's books and autobiography, evolved from Jodi's personal struggle with losing her hair as a young woman. And now, the participation with AMERICAN INVENTOR and her quest to succeed, have made her dreams come true. Ms.Pliszka is the FIRST of the TOP 12 FINALISTS to bring her AWARD WINNING HEADLINE IT! product to market. Ms.Pliszka is booked to be on CNN, HEADLINE NEWS, E!, EXTRA, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, PEOPLE MAGAZINE, and GOOD MORNING AMERICA, sharing her story of tragedy to triumph!

Ms. Pliszka is living proof that "attitude is everything and dreams really can come true."

After being healed five times from cysts and tumors in her head and breast, Jacquie believes the call on her life is to establish believers in God’s Word. “Jesus died to set us free – free from sickness, poverty, and despair. For far too long we have lived lives without experiencing victory. The Lord spoke to me early one morning with words that changed my life. The Spirit of the Lord said, “I am going to set you as an example before the people of a victorious life.” Because of all I have experienced: sickness, lack, abuse, and depression, I know the freedom and victory that comes from applying God’s Word. Because I walk in victory, God is going to use me to lead others to victory in Christ Jesus. That’s why I must stay transparent before God. As Christians we need to set an example to the lost. Our mandate is to be a vessel the Lord can use to SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.”
