A Wonderful Christmas Story by Sherrill S. Cannon





Santa’s Birthday Gift is an attempt to include Santa in the meaning of Christmas. (After I read a story of the nativity to my young granddaughter, she looked at me and asked “But where’s Santa?”) The editor who critiqued this book wrote: “What a cute story! I know there are many stories about how Santa came into the picture, but this is a delightful idea behind the gifts at Christmas.” The story is best for ages 3-10, to be read to children who still believe in Santa! This book received a 2011 National Indie Excellence Finalist Award, and is a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist. ~ Sherrill Cannon

Other books by Sherrill S. Cannon include:

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys (2010) is designed to help parents cope with whining and complaining children. The book is a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist.

Sherrill's third book was released in February of 2011, The Magic Word. The book has received a NABE Pinnacle Achievement Award for summer 2011, a Global eBook Finalist Award, and is also a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist.

A Sunny Tomorrow by Author, Theresa Franklin, is a collection of delightful short stories written for young children. This endearing collection has nineteen short stories in all. Each story deals with a different subject. The author truly captures the heart and mind of the child in each story. Additionally, this author is known for identifying with children’s feelings within each subject and especially when dealing with difficult subjects such as divorce, adoption, having a parent with special needs or dealing with the loss of a parent.

Included in this entertaining collection are more humorous stories that deal with much lighter subjects such as grandmas, tasting something to eat before you decide you don’t like it and how a lovely blue flower called a bluebonnet grows or how to be superhero. Each story is entertaining and enchanting for children of young ages to sit and listen to. I found myself chuckling at some of the tales, as the author really knows how a kid thinks. My six year old was quite enchanted and kept saying, “That’s true, that’s what I think.”

Other thoughtful writings are written for comfort, such as Sometimes You Need a Shoulder and Mommy Doesn’t Cry Anymore or Daddy, I’m Scared. Other stories included are simply written for humor and entertainment, like Jolene the Pig or Brent and Dad Go Fishing. No matter which story you choose, you can be sure your children will be thoroughly entertained and will be asking you to read more and more.

Conspiracy - Coming To A Theater Near You

Conspiracy
The Novel

A mystery/thriller with elements of science fiction, it merges fiction with facts similar to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code.

Conspiracy reveals the shadowy underside of the illusion we call reality, revolving around the discovery of an ancient shadow organization of immense power.

Reviews: “wild and unexpected”; “a real page turner”; “an unforgettable experience”. Michael Cross had a troubled past. Forces set into motion long before his birth put him in conflict with the ancient, secret organization. Who began the Brotherhood? How long had they existed? A hundred years? A thousand? In that time, they had gained massive power, even infiltrating governments. How can such an organization be destroyed? This is the task that Michael Cross faces. In his conflict with the Brotherhood he discovers a secret so overwhelming, so unimaginable that it changes his life forever.

One thing is certain–nothing is what it seems. Conspiracy is available through Amazon.

Why Isn't My Book Selling

If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.

Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.

Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?

As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.

Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.

Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.

Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

The River Deep Within The Story Writer

You love writing and that's because deep within you is this creative DNA. You have this ability to write stories from start to the end, and see things unfolding while your writing. You have this desire to publish books, write great stories and become a author. Deep inside of you is a river and that river must flow or you feel as if your a stagnant pound.

Authors, let that creative river flow. You're only an idea away from success.

A Forum Just For Authors

What a great idea, a forum for authors. Here's a great place for authors to get in touch, share, ask questions and just exchange ideas, information and so on. It's called Published Authors
I would imagine that there is a wealth of knowledge available on this site and just reading over the posts and comments could really help to educate authors on various aspects of writing and publishing.

Authors & Writers Information

Information is important and the more that a author can learn, the greater the changes of success. Writing a book takes a lot more than just typing out a storyline. Manuscript preparation, editing, book cover designs, publishing and publishers all play a part of the process. Plus there are authors press releases, media blogs, marketing, book events, book conferences and all sorts of other very important situations to consider.

Here is a site where authors can meet up, discuss things, get tips, information and just become informed. Writers Net
