Source: Bookhitch.com ...Author’s blogs are almost a medium unto themselves. They meld the journal of the personal author as well as the corporate message of a business. The combination of the two is certainly a challenge for many authors, because you have to be personable while selling yourself at the same time. You need to let the reader into your life, but only so much. So how do you tell where that fine line is? How do you begin? First, make your entries personal. Think about what you want to write ahead of time. Don’t necessarily write about your book and only your book. For example, say your book was a critique of modern parenting. Instead of plugging the book every chance you get (which is just outright selling something and no one will read it), continue where your book left off. Talk about things you would have liked to include, current events, etc. The more you expand your scope, the more readers will be drawn back to your site and the more likely they are to recommend it

Christian author Michael Taylor releases a thought provoking and inspirational book on the authority and sufficiency of scripture. In a world where the authority of God’s word is continually questioned and challenged Michael Taylor boldly affirms in this book that Scripture is the FINAL authority by which we must live and align our lives. About this book From the very beginning, the battle between good and evil has been a battle for the truth. The serpent, in the Garden of Eden, began his temptation by questioning the truthfulness of God’s instruction; “Indeed, has God said you shall not eat from any tree of the garden?” (Genesis 3:1, 4-5). And this has been his tactic ever since - casting doubt on the straightforward revelation of God. We are living in a time when the sufficiency of scripture is under assault. The move to psychology as a necessary component in solving man’s problems suggests that the Bible in itself is not enough. The search for methods, techniques, strategies us

Author releases collection of short stories based on his travels and adventures – Territory of Uncertainty by Stephen Owens. About this book ‘Territory of Uncertainty’ is a collection of longer and shorter stories, and a series of ‘Unreliable Country Profiles’. The stories are written in the first person and this may give the impression that they are autobiographical but they are not. Undeniably they each contain elements of truth. The opening story, ‘Asansol’, may appear disconcertingly odd. Mr. A is a complex composite character, but he is my starting point, a person who really did come into my railway compartment in India and said only one word – Asansol. This was a place I’d never heard of, and I’ve never been there, though I must have passed through it on the train. The various introductions provide me with an opportunity outside the context of the stories, but their inclusion is an essential part of the book – like short worthy detours on a long enjoyable journey.

The girl meets her brother in the parlour; they say goodbye and part; and she is never seen again. A search of the buildings and grounds finally reveals her body buried in a shallow grave in the monastery cemetery. The monks, however, have a cast-iron alibi: they were all in chapel at the time of her death. Then the abbot receives a mysterious telephone-call. A man’s voice threatens to hand evidence of the murder to the police – and so incriminate one of the monks - unless the monastery puts up for public auction its most treasured possession, a unique mediaeval manuscript, and donates the proceeds to charity.

Author releases intriguing new novel about flashbacks to the battle of Britain and Napoleonic wars. The Plot One man three lives two wars and a terrorist plot spread over three centuries. New York industrialist Charlie Parker tries to dismiss flashbacks to his earlier lives as a rifleman in the Napoleonic wars and a RAF pilot in the 1940 Battle of Britain as mental aberrations.

Author releases new book about his experience as a VSO volunteer in Ethiopia. About this book Volunteering to work in a developing country is an experience most people never have. I associated Ethiopia with famine, and drought, and poverty. People do live in primitive conditions and earn very little, but almost all the people I met were happy and thirsty for knowledge. They were proud of their culture and history, and unlike people from other African countries I have worked in, didn’t blame the White Westerners for their problems. They welcomed foreigners, accepting our help and valuing our contribution. What started out as a newsletter I was sending to twenty friends and family, grew to a distribution list of nearly one hundred, including other volunteers. I was persuaded to write this book by some of them who thought it ‘amusingly interesting’. I wasn’t convinced, but decided to write the story behind the ‘amusements’, the real story as I saw it…including the amusements! Inj

Michael Taylor brings to the study of Biblical prophecy and eschatology a maturity that is rare among contemporary work on the subject. This book is a straightforward exploration of God's master plan as revealed in the Seven Feasts. Covered topics includes, the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ, pre-tribulation or post-tribulation, pre-millennial or post-millennial. About this book The Rapture and The Second Coming of Christ – are they the same event or are they different events? Is the second coming pre-tribulation or post-tribulation, pre-millennial or post-millennial? These questions and many more occupy an important place in the speculations of the philosophers and theologians. Yet God's own word commands us to know the signs of the times, to remain watchful and to be ready. Every book of the New Testament points us to the return of Christ and urges us to live in such a way as to be always ready for that return; (Matt.16:27); (Rev.1:7). This same lively expecta

This is the first book for a number of years on the psychological impact of Time on affective disorder, and as such offers something new to add to counsellors' and therapists' approaches to finding a possible cause of and resolution to patients' psychological health. About this book Understanding the very nature of Time has captivated Marek for numerous years, whether it is Time in a science, temporal, philosophical or, as explored here, a psychological context. His interest began when, as a small child, he dismantled the only clock in his parents' home to see how it worked and was amazed to discover that Time 'still happened' even though its physical manifestation - the clock - no longer did.

A book marketing plan is a blueprint for selling your book. Because there are many different ways to promote a book, and authors have limited time and budgets, it's important to put together a written book marketing plan and prioritize your book promotion tasks. A comprehensive book marketing plan would include timelines and budgets. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all book marketing plan. The best marketing plan for your book will depend on the type of book or information product you're selling, the audience, your budget and time constraints, and your skills and interests. A book marketing plan outlines the overall book sales strategy, covering items such as these: * Your goals for the book * Description of your book and competing products * How your book will be packaged, priced, and distributed * Description of your primary and secondary target audiences * Characteristics, needs and wants of the target audiences * How you will reach your target audienc
