I finished what I consider the absolute final read of AFTER before I send it to the formatter. This was no easy task. This book is eleven years in the making. It has been through many stages based on what editors and publishers have said and critiqued. AFTER did make the NY publishing rounds a few years ago when I had my agent. It got very close to being published as either a graphic novel, comic book or published work. There was interest in all three routes and the book was even…

I've gottten responses from quite a few formatters. All seem nice. Basically, there's a few ways to go about this. Some formatters will literally create the book for you and upload it to all the major POD devices. Some will even run their business like a publisher and take royalties for each book sold.

Today I approved the final galley for the cover. It looks awesome. We tried a few different variations but finally found one that I think will blow away the competition (hopefully) I asked my cover artist for a recomendation for someone to format the manuscript appropriate for all the POD devices. I'm waiting to hear back from her before I begin my own blind search. I'd much rather use her resources since I'm so satisfied with the cover. Should have an answer soon, then it's time to…

As I said before, I chose the more expensive cover designer because I know how important the cover is. I sent this summmary off to the woman who is designing my cover for AFTER. She said she could design the artwork solely from this. We'll see.

If you want to be in all the online catalogs and bookstores you must get an ISBN. It’s a relatively simple process of filling out a form, paying the fee, and then assigning the title of the book to the ISBN. Sure, I can do that. But here’s the thing. The price in acquiring an ISBN vary widely, as I’ve discovered, just like most things associated with creating the e-book. So far I’ve done only research and spent nothing on this project. Once I’ve gotten everything in order I will give a…

The whole world is subject to the Universal Laws of Cause and Effect, the laws of Karma. This is the main premise of "Maestro: Unveiling Karma and Reincarnation." After many years spent observing and healing patients, Rachel Madorsky concludes that there is no such thing as coincidence. Everything we perceive as coincidence or as bad luck is, in reality, Karma, caused either by individual or collective actions, thoughts, and experiences from our past incarnations over many lifetimes. Rachel’s… Continue
