10 Tips for How to Throw a Successful Book Launch Party

Publishing a book is a big accomplishment, so why not throw a party? After all, you hold a party to celebrate your birth, and, frankly, writing your book took more effort. (Your mother probably has a different perspective on your birth. Just FYI.)

Basically, a book launch party is a book signing/reading with the added benefit of being…

Alexander H. Johnson: “The Original Drummer Boy”

Many believed that Alexander H. Johnson was the first black musician to enlist in the army during the Civil War, however, he was not really the first. Technically, at least three others have enlisted before he did.



A sailor with a passion for percussion, Johnson grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts. For unknown reasons he was separated from his parents before his fifth birthday, and he was adopted by William Henry Johnson, the second black lawyer in the United States. Johnson’s… Continue

Poem: Haters Gonna Hate

The anger in them rises

cause they’ve lost their inner Light;

gone are their chances for Love;

so they rail against the night…

without an understanding.



When blinded by defeat’s grief,

they lash out with their hatred.

Jealous of your victory,

their vitriol is blood red-

stuck in misunderstanding.



Serve Christ and His Kingdom, while

covered with His holiness;

please Him during Life’s…

Progress with Tales and Tails

May 14th. 2016

 

I’m still managing to keep my head above water in the book sales stakes, but only just. My averages fell away sharply over the latter part of April, but have picked up now, although my Amazon ranking is dropping slowly. I signed up for a promotion with BooksGoSocial (mentioned last week), and so far they are tweeting every day to eight different places. Part of the contract, I know, and it is something I would expect. The owner of BGS, Laurence…

Civil War: The Impact of Family Situations on Enlistment

While many enlisted because they want to experience some adventure, a large number of boys hint at, or outright admit to having, difficulties of some kind at home. Whether economic or relational, these home problems made the army an attractive option for them, and a reasonable one in the eyes of their parents.



14-year-old Charles William Bardeen was one such youth. He enlisted because of difficulties at home, especially with his mother who has remarried. Raised in an abolitionist… Continue

Poem: Staying in Peace?

Are you regularly transcending your ego?

Is doubt interfering with your intentions?

Can you dream dreams and envision a future,

that are aligned with His plan of Salvation?

Will your dreams manifest into your reality?

Have you discussed your purpose with Him?

Can you claim that you’re making progress?

Are you imploding from events that are grim

and seeking to pull your soul downward again?

Are you applying Biblical principles often,

to…

Poem: Still Doubting Yourself?

With Faith, there’s no need to hide;

His Spirit, in you, resides;

shed any vain foolishness

and follow your Holy Guide.

To the lost, Faith makes no sense;

at Last Judgment, the pretense

of personal ignorance…

fails as a valid defense.

The World knows hypocrisy

and it watches us closely;

they covet genuine proof

that your Faith has eyes to see!

With “Intelligent Design”,

they’re slow to admit that signs

of God’s…
