Hello Lisa. My name is Fernando Sobenes and I want to invite you to read the prologue and the first two chapters of my novel: "The Evil Visitor" in my blog The Evil Visitor

Also you can watch the book trailer.

Best regards,

In reference to my comments, do with them as you will. I would help if possible in your new venture with Christian literature, et al.

Thanks Lynda I did add to my post for author interviews on my radio show. Thanks.

Hello, Lisa. I started a group called San Diego, California Writers. I was hoping you might join. You are invited and welcome. Maybe one day if there are enough people in the group we can put together a book fair of some sort.

Hello Lisa...how re you?

I'm new here. I got surprise to see so many christians authors...that's amazing. 23 years ago I worked for the FGBMFI (adhonep in portuguese). It was wonderful work in that blessed ministery.

Actually I have my own studio and now looking for new jobs...books to illustrate for example. I draw several styles of artwork mixing traditional methods and skills computers. I hope you like about my artworks.

I'm interested in offer my services of illustrations for authors.

Please, take a look on my website (still under construction)

Thanks!

Hi Lisa;

I scrawled through your posts on your site. Really enjoyed reading your information. Wondering if you'd be interested in linking yours with mine? "Conquer All Obstacles" calls for writers.

God bless.

Hi Lisa
How are you? I am very familiar with your ministry and HopeKeepers. I am a member of a Hopekeepers group at my church. My personal ministry is Inspirations of Hope Global Ministries. We are "Reaching the World With a Message of Hope With Radio, Books and Gospel Spoken Word." Please take a minute and join my network located at http://www.inspirehope.ning.com We are currently "Building the Wall of Hope" with favorite scriptures on hope from any version of the bible that you choose. Praise the Lord for your work. I found you on "about.com" several years ago when it was indicted that I had a chronic illness...chronic fatigue. It is 15 years later and the Lord has truly blessed me. I have also published a book www.authorsden.com/dtylerbrown titled Inspirations of Hope Unlimited, a devotional with poetry. People have told me how it has been a blessing. I look forward to connecting with you and the fellowship. Evangelist D Tyler Brown, Executive Director, Inspirations of Hope Global Ministries Network. Writer, publisher, editor, gospel spoken word artist, radio talk show host (Fresh Hope Talk Show on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dtylerbrown) Mondays at 10am Central Time. I would love to have you as a guest on my talk show. We are discussion the 12 Steps to Spiritual Enrichment. Talk to you soon.

Hello Lisa,
Is it too late to submit an article for your Chicken Soup for the soul? I just discovered your site and am very interested in chronic illness. Does this include bipolar?

Hello Lisa:
I read your profile and I truly appreciate your dedication to ministry. I am a Deacon and minister whose outreach is to today's lost youth.
I am encouraged by your faith and commitment.
God bless you.

Hi Lisa, Would this include Lupus? It is terrible. My mom had it and when it went internal, she died a month later --suffering pain and had no real effective treatment.
It is a spooky illness. Trust NICI gets funding it needs and effective support and promotion.

Hey, Lisa,
How wonderful to find this group here on the Network. Great idea to start it! I love meeting Christian authors and hope we can work together, brainstorm, do joint ventures, and yes, pray for each other. I have a heart for the deep needs of women, which I try to address in my fiction.
God Bless all your endeavors,

What a blessing to help others with a heart full of love of our Saviour you have.

Hello Lisa, I am so happy to find a Xn group of writers to join and share and exchange information . I have written a couple of books for my ministry that have helped people dealing with inner hurts or pain, grief and loss. I look forward to getting to know all my new friends. Your note on July 20th is so great--doesn't our God work in creative ways?

Hello Lisa, sounds like a great ministry. If you would ever like to come to Istanbul we could arrange for you to speak at a few places. Contact me if you are interested!

Please help me name my book (if you have not already)!

Carolyn, yes! I do love it. I know I hardly "know it all." And yet, I've learned a lot of shortcuts, or ways to apply ideas to book marketing, and hopefully I can save someone else a few steps. I see some great writers too who are chronically ill. The traditional publishing route may not work the best for them, plus they cannot travel easily for promotional reasons, but connecting with the write marketing angles online and with people can still help one sell a lot of books.

I've definately been blessed to see God create many "full-circle" situations in my life. My goal 15 years ago was to work FOR a nonprofit, maybe do some marketing and somehow work writing into it. Years later, I HAVE my own nonprofit (which feeds my controlling personality- ha) and publish our books under our own publishing company... and my own magazine... it's amazing.

Funny story - at ICRS last week one woman said the cover of Mosaic Moments was BEAUTIFUL! I didn't tell her I have done my own covers-- I actually smashed up the plate, took the photo and tinted it, and then created the cover. I know they could be improved upon and that will be a priority soon, but for now, winging it still seems to be working for me!

Blessings,
Lisa

Lisa, you said: working on a series of ebooks on book marketing myself, gathering all the information I've used over the years, especially as a nonprofit director/magazine editor. Blessings and success to you!

Don't you just love how the stuff we do in our former lives isn't lost but gathers itself in a body of knowledge to help us with our publishing!?

Best,
