Treachery, 

political intrigue, 

and gut-wrenching drama….

"A vivid portrayal 

of Hamilton 

and those who lived in his 

influential sphere." --Kirkus Reviews

An American hero is torn between love for his family and his commitment to his country.

Born into poverty, this bastard orphan from the Caribbean, Alexander Hamilton, rises to become one of the foremost leaders of our fledgling nation. Marrying for love into one of American's most powerful families, he fathers a family whom he adores.

But with politics, nothing changes. It was then as it is now: turbulent, violent, and often deadly.

When Hamilton's eldest child is murdered in a duel, his world and his family are torn asunder. This foul crime sets Alexander on a tragic course that will shock the nation. Will it also destroy his beloved family?

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the founding of a nation, Hamilton's Choice chronicles the tragic final years of Alexander Hamilton.

If you love sweeping historical sagas, if you reveled in Ron Chernow's Biographies, were swept away by Jon Meacham's insightful histories, or adored Stephanie Dray's epic historical novels, you will be thrilled with this compelling and breathtaking new novel. Read Hamilton's Choice today!

Just A Servant by Patricia Moore

For ages, 

Biblical stories have 

served as moral lessons, 

light to our paths 

and blessing to all.

Marciper hates being a servant boy. 

His master treats him cruelly. 

Marciper wishes to see Jesus in the marketplace. 

Will Marciper find Jesus in the crowded marketplace? 

If Marciper finds Jesus, will it change his life?

REVIEWS

“Quick read about a young boy who hears about the legend of Jesus, and then decides to stick around the market to see if the rumors are true. Despite his disobedience, and possible punishment because he is just a servant, he wanders until he finds Jesus and they get to hang out for a bit...” –Jules F.

“Just A Servant is a short but sweet book about a poor servant boy. He goes to the marketplace and while there wonders if he will see Jesus. Jesus was there and the boy sees children gathered around Him. To the boy's surprise, Jesus speaks to him and accepts him even though he is a servant boy. 

This book is great to teach kids about Jesus' love for all…”—Jessica D. Adams

“I enjoyed this book! :) I am glad there are children's books to teach about Jesus. A poor servant boy goes to the marketplace, and he wonders if he will see Jesus. He does see him, and he is excited to meet Jesus, who speaks to him! The story shows children that Jesus has a love and acceptance for everyone. Wonderful story with great illustrations! :)”—KMCL

“This could have been a true story for all you know. Marciper wants to see the man Jesus everybody is talking about. He gets a chance at the marketplace. And he is amazed when Jesus calls to him and asks him to sit on his lap. He is not even afraid of being late because he knows he is loved. I am sure that was the effect Jesus had on everyone that met him. I hope there is more than one book.”—Rebecca Verghese Paul.

HOW TO SELL MORE BOOKS

I stumbled on these short but incisive tips on how to sell more books written by Tamara Jackson on facebook. I am sure it will be useful for self-published authors and traditionally published authors alike. Things have changed. An author must be actively involved in the marketing and promotion of his or her book.

 

Dear author,

Are you disappointed by the sales of your book?

Do you cringe when friends and family ask, “How’s it going?” (Because it is not.

Have you started to wonder if you will ever make the impact that you dreamed of?

If your answer is YES to any of these questions, please listen up 

This is NOT over. Your book is NOT a failure.

You are in the situation you are in for ONE simple reason:

You do not know how to build an audience for your book.

That’s the bad news. The good news?

You CAN do something about it!! You CAN fix this. 

Hint: doing something about it is NOT as simple as just asking people to buy your book. That does not work because then it’s about YOU and not the buyer.

The key to selling more books is to remember that a sale is an exchange. You have to give something of value FIRST.

5 WAYS TO BUILD AN AUDIENCE FOR YOUR BOOK

Always be writing…for your blog, social media pages, and email list. You must consistently create and share content that your ideal reader finds valuable. Also, don't be afraid to talk about your writing journey, what has been going on in your life, and thoughts on current events – people want to get to know the brand (that’s you) behind the book.

Go live on Facebook, YouTube, and IG (or record and upload) to connect with your audience. Some things come to life more when they are said vs. read.

Join Facebook groups that your ideal reader would hang out in and DO NOT instantly post the link to your book. Instead, post valuable tips and ideas. Show up to serve first.

Use the power of the internet to find podcasters with a common audience, ask to be interviewed, and give away a few copies of your book to his/her followers. Why? Because this way, the podcaster and their audience benefit not just you.

Create a landing page (not a website) and run Facebook ads to it. Target people who like books similar to yours and offer the first two chapters of your book free. Get ‘em hooked so that they want to read more (and buy your book).

There are LOTS of ways to build an audience for your book and you don’t have to spend a fortune to do it.

With a little time and effort, you can still become the author you saw in your dreams and make the impact that you’ve always wanted.

Rambling on

 Borrowed Time

BY DAVID ELLISON

Rambling on Borrowed Time

From Santander:
“Terrified, I finally realized the federal agents answered to no one and could do with me whatever they pleased. I thought of the death squads who had “disappeared” so many others into the Central American jungle.”

“I was filled with awe and gratitude, but with sadness, too…the constant companions, it seems to me, of anyone who dares to travel with an open mind and heart through the world, through history, and through life.”

“Children all have that same amazing power over me—not only to make me laugh, but to make me believe in myself, in them, and in life.”

 

Happy Reading!
