Book publishing can be frustrating, but in the long run its very rewarding. Editing and formatting the book seems like end endless task, it is if you allow it to be. The most important part of your book is your cover. If you have an idea for a book and believe it to be something you put your heart into, then your on the road to publishing your book. Online book publishers, also known as books on demand offer the opportunity for free publishing. These companies only charge you for the books that you order. For example, if I wrote and published a book and ordered ten copies they charge only for the printing of those books. The cost for printing is far less than purchasing 100 books at a time. If a relative or friend wanted to purchase the book they can buy it from you or purchase it online through your website or publication website. These companies have state of the art equipment. You can upload your manuscript via word and it is downloaded into a file. All you have to do is follow the steps and decide your royalties. You can then market your book using search engines and key words. Some press companies have galleries of pictures you can choose from to put on the cover, or you can upload from your computer. If you decide later that your not happy with your book, it needs change, you can pull it and make the change. Always remember this is still your work and you have total control over it.

updates and status reports also, referred to as Morning Tea. Although, these events occur throughout the day, it’s specific for the long hours between evening and morning. Like tea there are so many types, kinds, flavors, and tastes. Morning Tea depends on, what may have happened or maybe happening, on that particular day. When preparing for an event, meeting, or when the news of something is likely to be of some bad nature, Chamomile tea with a biscuit (biscotti) would an appropriate name for the Morning Tea. Chamomile lists over 100 separate ailments and conditions which chamomile has been traditionally used to treat. The word biscotti originates from Latin word biscoctus, meaning “twice-cooked/baked”

Going through the fire once is enough, but twice, news that day is expecting either good or bad results. Being up on my tea, is catching up on Facebook, emails, blog posts and news. Along with news comes gossip. Tea traditionally is served hot, like gossip “have you heard about,” hot off the press, steaming, but yet savored. It’s not quite, The Ladies of The Lake or tea and gossip with Haywood Smith and least not forget “What could be sweeter than tea with Blue Water High’s Kate Bell and Cariba Heine? Sometimes it is what it is, just plain tea with toast.

Publishing manuscripts, poems and letters are as easy as uploading your word document on a webpage. This is an Excerpt from the book Reggie’s Story, about addiction and incarceration.Written by, George Maris

At this time, for me it was time to go to school .I was scared. I was always scared my kindergarten year. For some reason I got this notion, when I can see my reflection at my feet I would become paralyzed. It was like stepping into the water, you know what I mean? I think I might of heard something about, we were brought over by boats and slavery and stuff, all that mess. I wouldn’t step into the street to go to school. The school was right there across the street. There was a streetlight and the crossing guard. I would stand there and cry and cry. It so happened the first week of school it rained, the whole week. So every time I went to that corner, I would cry. My sister would try to pull me. My sisters beat me and try to drag me across the street. I always thought I would drown, if I step my foot into the street. I guess they figured out, I wasn’t gonna go to school in the morning or something.

My grandmother she was like 98 and she was blind. So they use to sit me with her. I would sit around with her till it was time for me to go to school and stuff. That’s when I first stole (some pennies). I don’t know where I got Stealing. I do know my grandmother had some pennies in a jar. I ran down to the store, (I had some freedom). My grandmother she’s just about blind, fooled me, she knew I took those pennies. I said Oh Lord.
