Thought Provoking - Santa's Birthday Gift





Santa’s Birthday Gift is an attempt to include Santa in the meaning of Christmas. (After I read a story of the nativity to my young granddaughter, she looked at me and asked “But where’s Santa?”) The editor who critiqued this book wrote: “What a cute story! I know there are many stories about how Santa came into the picture, but this is a delightful idea behind the gifts at Christmas.” The story is best for ages 3-10, to be read to children who still believe in Santa! This book received a 2011 National Indie Excellence Finalist Award, and is a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist. ~ Sherrill Cannon

Other books by Sherrill S. Cannon include:

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys (2010) is designed to help parents cope with whining and complaining children. The book is a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist.

Sherrill's third book was released in February of 2011, The Magic Word. The book has received a NABE Pinnacle Achievement Award for summer 2011, a Global eBook Finalist Award, and is also a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist.

Reviews: “wild and unexpected”; “a real page turner”; “an unforgettable experience”. Michael Cross had a troubled past. Forces set into motion long before his birth put him in conflict with the ancient, secret organization. Who began the Brotherhood? How long had they existed? A hundred years? A thousand? In that time, they had gained massive power, even infiltrating governments. How can such an organization be destroyed? This is the task that Michael Cross faces. In his conflict with the Brotherhood he discovers a secret so overwhelming, so unimaginable that it changes his life forever.

One thing is certain–nothing is what it seems. Conspiracy is available through Amazon.

Only Half The Work Of Publishing A Book Is Publishing It

If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.

Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.

Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?

As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.

Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.

Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.

Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

The River Deep Within The Author

You love writing and that's because deep within you is this creative DNA. You have this ability to write stories from start to the end, and see things unfolding while your writing. You have this desire to publish books, write great stories and become a author. Deep inside of you is a river and that river must flow or you feel as if your a stagnant pound.

Let that creative river flow. You're only an idea away from success.

Taking Your Manuscript To A Print Ready Format

Authoring a book can be quite a challenging undertaking. Some people spend 10, 20 & 30 years trying to get a publishing deal. The business is quite competitive and publishing deals don't come easy to a first time author or un known author as they are called.

To the left are three books that were published within 8 months. The author provided un edited story lines which were edited. For example the children's book manuscript only made for 48 book pages, however the end result was a 116 page book with editing and additional authoring.

The team performed all the editing, manuscript layout, ghost writing, cover designs, submission processes and produced three books with the help of a print on demand publisher. All the publisher did was print what was prepared, laid out and submitted in print ready form. The author played no further role past his original storyline and manuscript.

Having a team of people with the knowledge and understanding of how to prepare and submit a book in print ready form according to the publishers guidelines and submission process makes a very intense situation much easier. From editing, to the manuscript layout & design, designing and creating the front and rear cover, that is where all the hard work comes in. Creating a print ready template for the entire book from cover to cover that the publisher can take to print is where the difficult part comes in.

If you are in the process of preparing a manuscript for layout print ready to include the cover design and cover template contact Elijah Rain Publishing. They have the experience and knowledge to get the project rolling and completed. They also can recommend a publisher that can get your book printed and in circulation at very reasonable prices. That will leave you time to focuss on marketing your book, setting up book events and marketing yourself as a author which is a must if you want to sell your books.
