			<title>Glacier Park Donation from Publisher</title>
			<link>http://www.publishedauthors.org/books-f8/glacier-park-donation-from-publisher-t4670.htm</link>

			<description>Vanilla Heart Publishing announced this morning that it will donate a portion of the profits from the new release of my novel &quot;The Sun Singer&quot; to Glacier National Park's centennial program during the next three months.



The novel is set in the park and it's rather coincidental that it reached Vanilla Heart and ended up being released during the same year as Glacier's 100th birthday.

                 Hi...  



                   Does anyone know about &quot; The Red Room Writers Site?&quot;

                   I found it by accident , it seems they may seem snooty,

                   they have to check you out before you become a member.





                                      Cheers..Joe..  </description>

Hi Sue,



I met the Hollies when I was a student. I was invited to a Ball by the President of the Student Union and the Hollies were top of the bill. They used the Presidential suite as their dressing room. </description>

			<description>Writers are often asked who their role models are. And when they're not asked, critics often suggest their own answers.



I never know how to answer this question because: (a) nobody stands out as a role model, (b) I was probably influenced by a batch of authors while reading books and stories for English Lit classes, and (c) I would take it as a discount if somebody said my writing as like somebody else's writing.



When I read, I tend to notice what an author is doing and perhaps subconsciously  ...</description>

Several nurses helped with smiling faces as I confiscated one of the few heating pads, had very good pasta fagioli soup and jello from the hospital kitchen, and came on this computer, read and nodded off a few times, as my husband sat beside me reading, other than his lunch at our local Kiwanis meeting.

Quote:A little misleading

          I bought this book hoping to learn more about Audie Murphy, 

but was disappointed. The book just compares Audie and other heroes to 

mythological heroes. It's not at all a biography, just a scholarly 

study.





Good for a college mythology class I suppose, but useless for a fan 

of Audie Murphy.

			<dc:creator>jjbreunig3</dc:creator>
			<description>Why settle for a counterfeit

when you can have the genuine thing?

For the purpose of &quot;new age&quot; spirituality

is replacing God with the Human Being.



Working from a false assumption

that Man is essentially good,

will lead us down destruction's path

as History has taught us, as it would.



The fight for supremacy

of our human souls

is still being waged by the Devil

under his planetary control.



Humanism has its agenda

that's carefully worked under Satan's scope -

			<description>Ahhh... Immortality.



After the death of my earthly flesh,

my spirit will fully embrace it.

For I'm truly made

in my Creator's Image

and filled with His Divine presence.

How can anyone doubt...

The premise of my logic?



Ahhh... Immortality.

			<description>Is there a more or less standard format for book submissions?  

 

It seems like the  publisher  could get picky after they decided to take the book.  

Spending hours and hours refomatting is tedious.

 

I wonder if this is a subtle way to discourage submissions.

 

&quot;We would love to look at your book. please submit in Swahilli, single  spaced 1.5 inch margins, 1/2 inch paragraph indentions gotten by use of a tab-not a space bar...

			<description>Despite the differences of skin color

and our cultural upbringings,

we're more than brothers of Mankind -

Technically, we're kin.



Go to the mountain

preserved by ice and snow

where the revelation of Ararat's secret

is available for everyone to know.



For the ark's existence

proves the global flood story is true

and being our brother's keeper...

Is still a right thing to do.



Descended from Noah

are the many races of Man;

see our palms have the same tint -

By a show of hands.

			<description>Into the depths of untold depravity,

a perfect creation had fallen away;

unimagined grace poured out from our God above -

As His Hand of wrath was firmly stayed.



The Cross, stark and still, standing upon a naked hill...

subtly calls for the World's attention.



Since the dawn of everlasting time,

our Savior awaited His appointed day;

despite humanity's race to certain doom -

His Hand of wrath was intentionally stayed.

			<description>I am fascinated with women in the Bible. But wait a moment. Why read (and write) about women in the Bible? Are they still relevant today?



A while ago, I participated in a symposium on women of the Bible at which a lady in the audience asked: Why should we be interested in biblical women? They were concerned mainly with marriage and bearing sons, while we, today, have so many more ambitions for our lives. 



 But this is very challenging question, is based on a misconception. While the women  ...</description>

Some sell for as little as 99 cents.   JA Konrath is doing this.
<br />

<br />
Many people are just reading books on their iPhones.  Why carry a Kindle (or even a non-evil reader) around when you can read off your phone and also check internet, take pictures, make phone calls, etc?
<br />

<br />
AND it's got better screen resolution, color and is actually wider than the Kindle screen, you just have to scroll more often.]]></description>

I am here today because I am a 16 year old computing student, who does not enjoy what he is currently doing.

I feel like if I continue through college I can become an average guy with a decent payrole and not too shabby home.



I don't want this. I feel like my life is just running away from me, and I can do nothing about it. I want to get up right now and do something with my life. I want to take action NOW. If you remember  ...</description>

			<description>&quot;In the emerging world of e-books, many consumers assume it is only 

logical that publishers are saving vast amounts by not having to print 

or distribute paper books, leaving room to pass along those savings to 

their customers.&quot;



Read what publishers are saying about the cost of producing an ebook:

			<description>Hello, I am 18 years old and 65,000 words into writing my book. I was just posting here for some constructive criticism or if possible, apporval. Basically the character has amnesia (I know its a cliche, but I make it work) and is all alone on the Earth. He has been struggling for weeks to survive and he has had enough of being trapped in what he thinks is a desert (I have many plot twists and themes experienced in the book, so everything is not as it seems). Anyway, here is my first chapter:-

			<description>It seems all the books I've seen from PA have some kind of problem, whether it's editing, either that or the writer sucked at writing, or the covers, stock images overused, or just plain lousy printing with words repeated, running halfway down the page and stopping midway or ending in commas instead of proper punctuation.  Why does this board promote that company so much?  Where are the real publishing stories on here?</description>

In discussions about Global Warming, the far right doesn’t buy into the notion that pollution is the cause.  In discussions about healthcare reform, the far right doesn’t feel change is needed.  There are thousands of scientists who have studied the causes of global warming.  Scientists have seldom, if ever, been in total agreement on any issue and it is easy to find scientists that will support one’s  ...</description>

			<description>Today's great undead poets,

awash in the internet sea,

seek to fill the void of sensible emptiness

of our cyberspace world.

Following the heroic tradition of Man,

these daring individuals look to gain acceptance

through the expression of concepts.

Mirroring the virility and vitality of Life,

in defiance of critical naysayers,

the blankness of virtual paper

is scribbled upon with hurt, hope and ideals.

Writing styles and topics,

whether expressed in romanticized language

or the coarseness  ...</description>

For He loves His Children, while hating sin.

and yet His Hand is outstretched still.
