The Real Work BeginsI thought the hard part was writing a book. Now I realize marketing is an even bigger challenge. I
never knew before about the world of book reviews. The more I learn, the more I realize how daunting it is.
I had hoped to post regular entries on my blog, but I have been so busy trying to get my book out in the marketplace, I
haven't had time. I am a one-woman show doing it all, in addition to my full-time job broadcast captioning and single
parenting. But at least I am not homeschooling Joy now since it's the summer.
If anybody would like to write
a review for me at Amazon,com, that would be wonderful. The link is http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=children+of+dreams.
If you click on the five stars, it will open another window and give you the option.
My goal is to get twenty reviews. I have reviews pending from Christianbookreviews, Rebecca Johnson
at Amazon.com (rated fourth out of their top ten reviewers), Reader Views, and Ezinearticles.com. Although these are
more like professional reviewers, I welcome reviews from "ordinary" folks because my book was written for people like
you and me. If you have a reviewer you rely on for helping you decide whether you want to read a book, let me know.
I have found the Christian marketplace much more difficult to break into than the secular. It makes
me wonder if God wanted me to write this book as a witness to those who don't know him.
Please pray for success
in getting my book through acquisitions in the major bookstores, including Family Christian Stores, Barnes and Noble, and
Books A Million.

Shalom, IsraelAt last I finished my video featuring photographs that I shot in Israel set to Jewish
music, with selected Bible passages from my book Children of Dreams. The link is opposite my blog called Shalom,
Israel Video. If you click on it, it will open in a separate window and you won't be taken away from this page after
you watch it. Blessings.
