Author Jennie Marsland's Book - McShannon's Chance
Author Jennie MarslandMcShannon's Chance
Trey McShannon survived the carnage of the Civil War, only to discover that the deepest wounds are those to the heart. A traitor to his home state of Georgia, Trey has built a new life for himself in the untamed Colorado Territory. Now it's time to find a wife to share the future he's worked so hard for - but can he free himself from his past? Beth Underhill is looking for choices. Needing to marry to escape being sent back East, she prefers Trey's honest business proposal to false promises of love. Can a union between a man who isn't sure he can still feel love, and a woman who doesn't believe it exists, blossom into more than a marriage of convenience?

Author Promotions, Building, Launching & Promoting A Authors Blog
Thinking about launching a authors blog to promote and market your book. Personally I prefer to use blogger, however last night I came by a authors site that was launched using Wordpress. I particularly liked the template the author had chosen and the fact that the blog functioned so well. Having a few blogs at Wordpress myself (I'm a blogger addict) I decided to add one more which took me all of about two hours to create, arrange and post various posts on. You might check out this template and style, Christian Book Marketing at WordPress .Building the blog and launching it is only half the project. The other have is marketing the blog so that readers and book lovers can find it. Otherwise you are just another blog lost in the endless millions of sites online.

Doing Business God's Way
Inspired by the Holy Spirit. Pray, Practice & Prosper - Doing Business God's Way.Because our ways are not His ways, we have allowed ourselves to think about money and wealth incorrectly. As a result, in 2008, the United States experienced the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930’s. Can it happen again? Of course. Can it be prevented? Yes, with the right attitude about the acquisition of personal and corporate resources.
This is a one year devotional book describing these attitudes and how best to put them into practice. This book focuses on the needs of those in the marketplace, spending the majority of their lives working at their career.
God can mold your character to become who and what God has called you to be. It is done through the gift of the Holy Spirit which creates a clear vision that will guide your daily choices. As you make these choices, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, you can develop habits that grow character, improve decision making and prosper every aspect of your life with the right attitudes. Your job IS your ministry and spending 40+ hours a week at work is a great opportunity to live life God called you to live... even as you prosper through it.

Christian Book Review, High Marks For Imagine God
Title: Imagine GodAuthor: H. Eric Fearman
ISBN # 978-1-61638-221-6
Review Date: November 05, 2010
Reviewed By: Brenda of CBM'S Christian Book Reviews
9.5 on a scale of 10.0 stars
“Imagine God” is one of those books that you will not want to put down. Like fresh manna from heaven, the book is masterfully and beautifully written, full of wise counsel, filled with life changing applications and is simply a blessing to read.
Author H. Eric Fearman, dispels darkness and ushers in God’s glorious light by revealing eternal biblical truths about mankind’s God given imagination from a biblical and practical perspective. The author brings to the forefront that all knowledge begins with God, His living Word and God’s plans and purposes in our lives. This book will enable every reader to take hold of powerful kingdom truths.
Carefully constructed through diligent meditation and instruction from God’s Holy word, “Imagine God” will not only encourage you on a deeper walk with God, but also stir your heart to dig deeper into God’s precious word. This book is a faith builder that will help to guide you into greater depths of God’s plans and purposes for your life. “Imagine God” shares pearls that open doors to kingdom principles and truths that will enable you to live a prosperous and abundant life through the simplicity of the understanding of who you are in Christ and the gifts that God has blessed you with.
If applied, the teachings in this book will not only change your inner life, but also cause an inner awakening to be birthed with in you. As someone who reads books authored by many within the body of Christ, “Imagine God” opened my heart to some fresh and exciting realities.
If you desire a closer walk with God, then read this book and allow yourself to embrace the powerful spiritual truths set forth. This book will enrich your life, expand your faith and provide you with fruit bearing seed from God’s Word.
God created us in His image and God created our imagination. This book through sound biblical insight built upon the scriptures that God, the creator of all things, created our imagination and works through our imagination is an excellent read. “Imagine God” describes the process of the mind of man whereby the renewal of the mind through God’s word will cause you to see yourself as God sees you and enable you to accomplish His will, His plans and His purposes for your life through accessing the imagination that God gave you.
This is a must read for every believer, those seeking a deeper relationship with God and is a blessing to the body of Christ.

Book Marketing For The Self Published Christian Author
Thinking about self publishing or maybe you just published your first Christian book. Now what? Maybe you are on Amazon or listed online at many online Christian and non Christian book stores? Building a online presence and getting out there is important. But what if ....
What if no one can find your book in the millions that are listed online? Just because your book, title and name as a author is on a few great sites doesn't mean that people will find it. Ask yourself this question. Who is going to search for my brand new book release by title or my name as author?
This is why the self published author must market their books. You must create a online presence, promote and market your book so that people can find it. This is not easy and the competition is enormous.
Here's are three first steps that must be put into place.
1) A authors website or blog.
2) A book review.
3) A book trailer.
4) Some smart online marketing of the above three items.
For more information on how the self published Christian author should promote and market their book, take the time to read over Christian book Marketing and be sure to do your homeword before taking on the task.
Book Marketing Steps For The Christian Author
Here are some basic must do's that I recommend to all authors with regards to marketing their books, both Christian and secular.
1st: You must have a authors website or blog that showcases you as a author, your book, that shares about your book, where and how to order it and how to contact you as author.
2nd: You must have a professional book review service review your book and write a professional book review. Here is a hint, make sure that you use a christian book review service and not a secular book review service.
3rd: You must create a online presence so that book lovers can find you and your book. This is where your authors website or blog comes into play, however, you must market your site also. While you can perform some of the marketing yourself by joining various author book related sites, you must also set a budget aside for a book marketing campaign.
4th: Authors business cards and book markers are another great marketing tool. Be sure to place your book title, ISBN number, and website address on them along with other information. I recomend starting with Vista Print.
5th: Creating and marketing. Let me say that again. Creating and MARKETING a book trailer that showcases your book in another powerful way to promote and market your book.
6th: You must pursue book signings at local bookstores, churches and wherever God may open doors for you. I also recommend that you study up on how to put on a great book signing and one that is designed to attract book lovers while also impressing the bookstore management at the same time. A well planed successful book signing event can open further doors for additional book signing events.
7th and most important. Do your homework before you put your plans into motion.

Author Promotions For The Self Promoting Author
In this economy many authors are choosing the self promoting route. While most author promotions and book marketing experts don't recommend this, there's no doubt that there has been a increase in the self promoting author and especially those that have self published. If that's you, I encourage you to take the time and do your homework before jumping into the marketing arena. While it may seem easy, one soon finds out that it's not, few find success and it's very time consuming.
Yes you can build your own blog, but the question is do you know how to build and launch a successful blog and do you have the time to learn the process and everything surrounding that process? Yes you can join various author sites, interact with other authors, share your book, book cover and so on. However, are other authors your market? Yes there are some great authors forums out there, however, and once again is that where book lovers hang out or authors? Then there's the Internet, the search engines, key words, labels, how the search engines work and many other things to consider coupled with the fact that they are constantly changing and evolving.
My point being while all these things can be fun and a part of building a network while creating book buzz, they are and should be seen as secondary to a well thought out authors promotions and book marketing plan. Here is a simple author promotions and book marketing plan for the new and self published author. Let's call it class 101 for authors.
1) Have a professional authors web site built.
2) Get your own .com that fits your book and marketing plan.
3) Have someone with the knowledge build or help you build and launch a professional blog.
4) Create a network that promotes you, your book, your web site and your blog that markets and promotes you as a author and your book not to other authors, but to book lovers within your market and buying audience.
5) Understand that you will not become a overnight success, that it takes hard work and time.
That's simple, now get started.

Book Trailers - Key's To Success
Book Trailers: The Key to Successful Video Marketing
Here is a article that I came across written by Sarah Weinman, the practical writer about the power of using book trailers. As many of you know the book trailer craze has exploded with both authors and publishers using book trailers to promote and market books just as the motion picture industry has used movie trailers to real in ticket purchases.
The article reads as follows:
It used to be a big deal when the author bio on the back of a book included contact information such as an e-mail address or a Web site. Now hardly anyone bats an eye when a writer—new, emerging, mid career, or veteran—blogs alone or with others, sends out missives via MySpace or Facebook, and checks in on occasion with Twitter, GoodReads, RedRoom, or the latest Web 2.0 social networking site. But none of these Internet marketing approaches reflects the publishing industry's struggle to convert the latest technology into increased book sales as forcefully as video content—specifically the book trailer, an idea that's turned into explosive reality thanks to broadband Internet connections, the astounding success of YouTube as a distribution channel, and the almost desperate need to capture the attention of a younger generation that is allegedly reading far less than the previous one.

A Testimonial About Our Author Promotions And Book Marketing Programs
Kaylin's McFarrenI recently had the opportunity to work with Smitty in regard to marketing my new release, Flaherty's Crossing. All I can say is every dollar has been well-spent. He is incredibly detailed, professional, and caring. My name, book, and trailer have appeared on hundreds of sites and the exposure has been unbelievable.
As a direct result of his tremendous efforts, Flaherty's Crossing has become one of the hottest and most ordered items at Champagne Books.
I truly can't recommend anyone more highly.
