God Now Assisting The Last Spartan

John Saunders wrote to say:

My minister's wife read the book and liked it. Her husband told me he was looking forward to reading it, but that his wife had told him it would take a long time to finsih. I replied that it was really a quick read. He said he'd heard it was a quick read but his wife had said he would have to stop every couple of pages to pray for me.

COOL!

TLS REVIEWS

Brian Clarey, reviewer for Yes Weekly says of THE LAST SPARTAN: "Packed with Plot." And, "...a great summer read."

What Sallee Kelly about THE LAST SPARTAN: An Excellent Read! Held my attention from the first sentence, to regrettably the very last – just did not want it to end. I have and will continue to recommend The Last Spartan to all my friends and colleagues. This book must be shared. I look forward to following more of Frank Kane’s divergences on his way to finding inner peace and redemption from a past he cannot hide from, nor change. A most interesting character…and enjoyable book.

TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE

Jeff Lower, author of Kat's Magic Bubble called to report that two copies of his book are going to Russia as the result of contacts he has made. KMB has gone International! Yes! Awesome!

Kat's Magic Bubble "DONATION" Flyer successful

The flyer promoting Kat's Magic Bubble by Jeff Lower and illustrated by Pegi Ballenger is returning some results. SMDC Hospital in Duluth ordered three books for their Grief Support Library. If you know of anyone in a hospital or church setting that might be able to use KMB in their ministry, let us know.

Also, we're starting to put together a promotional packet for Luella, to make the ducky little book known for Christmas. We're thinking of mailing out something duck-like and/or pug-like with some sample pages of Mindy's great art, or...? Any suggestions? We're also discussing target audience. My suggestion of Duck's Unlimited members, got limited enthusiasm. Any suggestions for a target audience that does not include ducks as the target would be welcome.

Spartan Buzz Pays Off

John Saunder's book signing at the Friendly Center Barnes & Noble in Greensboro was a rousing success according to store personnel who said it was one of the best signings they've ever had. It went so well, John had to go out to the parking lot and fetch an additional 35 copies from his trunk to supplement the store's stock.

Way to go John! Congrats...now BASK in the feeling of accomplishment and enjoy your reward for a job well done. The Last Spartan is going to provide excellent summer reading for a lot of people.
