Readers Win with e-Authors Treasure Hunt
In what appears to be a historic undertaking, nearly forty writers
are joining together to reward readers for finding the treasures
they create. And the rewards for winning the e-Authors
Treasure Hunt is a chest of prizes designed to delight anyone.
"I can't recall a time when this many authors joined together,
independent of their publishers, to thank their readers," said best
selling author Leta Nolan Childers ( http://letachilders.com ) "This is
our way of saying that we've found our gems in the readers who
have embraced and supported us-by reading and enjoying books
in electronic bindings."
The grand prize winner of the e-Authors Treasure Hunt, which
begins on August 1 and concludes on September 30, is an entire
library of books in electronic bindings-on diskette and CD,
valued at more than $250. Among the first prizes are a personal
CD player; two cassette players with audio books (courtesy of
DiskUs Publishing, www.diskuspublishing.com;) a jewelry box
(courtesy of Awe-Struck E-Books;) a ruby, sapphires and onyx
(courtesy of Saxco E-Book Publishing, saxco.net/ebooks;) a $25
gift Barnes and Noble gift certificate (courtesy of
KnowBetter.com) and two electronic Rolodex personal
organizers, among many more.
"It's wonderful that our publishers recognize the need to reward
our readers, too, and have jumped on the bandwagon to donate
prizes to augment those donated by the authors involved in the
Treasure Hunt," said Nolan Childers.
Players can find the rules and the form to complete at
contestants browse the author web sites and find the gem
displayed. They then type the name of the gem with the correct
author on an easy to use form. In the event of a tie, a random
drawing will be conducted. Ten first prizes will also be offered.
"While one lucky winner will walk away with a treasure trove
of literary gems, there are no losers in the e-Authors Treasure
Hunt. A lifetime of reading treasures awaits those who set out to
explore the world of electronic publishing," said participating
author Linda Bleser ( http://www.bleser.com )
Organizers for the event also hope that it will introduce readers
who have not yet discovered the wealth of informative and
entertaining books published electronically to this facet of the
publishing industry.
"This is, perhaps, the most entertaining and fun promotion on
the internet today," said Jim Farris, noted e-author
( http://come.to/xaa ) "The 'Treasure Hunt' is a free, fabulous and
fun promotion that everyone will soon be talking about."
Joining in the promotion are sites that help readers gain
awareness of books in electronic bindings such as
KnowBetter.com, RomanticNotions.com and JustViews.com.
Writers' organizations, such as Mystik Ink
( http://www.mystic-ink.com/ ) are also supporting the Treasure Hunt.

FEATURED E-AUTHOR:
WHY I CHOSE TO PUBLISH LAPLATA COUNTY SERIES WITH IUNIVERSE.COM
LUTHER BUTLER
An insecticide accident in 1984 almost wiped me out.
Purchasing a computer, I sat down to write Homesteaders and
Sheepherders narrated by Son Wilkerson, a four-year-old
fictional character, who told about growing up in LaPlata
County, Colorado during the depression. From this one novel I
went backward and forward to create a fictional family for Son.
This led me to County Dublin and James Wilkerson who came
to Virginia in 1740 AD. James' son, William, a Revolutionary
War general, went to Texas, in Blood on the Moon, to bring
back wild horses for the Mississippi farmers. William's
descendents were in Amite County, Mississippi when the Civil
War broke out. In the novel, Amite County, the eleven-year-old
boy, Nat, and his slave companion go to Vicksburg to rescue
the white boy's father from a prison of war camp. Mississippi
Woman, the next novel, has dead Nat Wilkerson's two small
sons, D.H. and W.L., move to Fort Worth, Texas where their
stepfather runs a house of prostitution. At the end of this novel,
D.H. takes W.L. to Durango Colorado to cure a lung disease. In
Indians and Soldiers, the soldiers drive the Ute Indians out of
LaPlata County and two Indian fighters homestead land in
LaPlata County. Ranchers and Rustlers is about the two
soldiers settling the land. At the end of this novel, D.H.
Wilkerson brings his young family to homestead adjoining land
to the two ex-Indian fighters. In Homesteaders and
Sheepherders, D.H.'s son, Son, tells about the sheep ranch.
Tragedy strikes, and in the novel, D.H., Son is torn from his
beloved mountain home, and with D.H., he wanders to New
Mexico and Arizona and back to Albuquerque, NM. After a
tragedy, Son comes back to LaPlata County to help his older
brother when World War II was at its height. I Knew a Man
Who had Six Sons tells of the demise of insane D.H. Son
Wilkerson goes to Korea as a Naval pilot, and comes back to
LaPlata County without any sight. Already a college graduate,
Son and his wife, Nancy, start LaPlata County Series. Son ends
the series with Squash Blossom with the great-grandson of a
slain Ute warrior coming back and buying ancestral land from
the Wilkerson ranch.
After numerous attempts to get LaPlata County published, I put
it on my web site, Luther Butler's Bookstore, and charged three
dollars for downloads. A representative from iUniverse.com
offered to publish the series. With the help of iUniverse.com,
we put two novels to a book, and in five books, we published
the complete series in less than six months. iUniverse.com and
I designed the beautiful covers, and iUniverse.com put the
finished novels on the market the last of 1999. iUniverse.com
has done an amazing job of not only publishing, but the
company has listed the novels with the Ingrams system, Barnes
and Noble, and Amazon.com. Exciting things have already
happened with the novels. If it had not been for iUniverse.com,
all of my writing would have been stuck away in a filing
cabinet. Now I am getting twenty per cent of the money made
from the sale of my novels.
iUniverse.com is using new technologies and personal
empowerment to lead the publishing industry into the new
millenium. The company not only gives writers the ability to
publish their books, but to have them marketed and distributed
throughout the world to a global audience.
iUniverse.com has several plans for publishing. The plan I
chose costs me a ninety-nine dollar initial fee for each book. I
submitted each novel by E-mail as an attachment. The
company formatted the novel, sent it back by E-mail for me to
proof read. When I was satisfied, they corrected all their
mistakes and changed up to twenty-nine of mine free of charge.
Once when I left out two paragraphs, they charged me to make
the corrections. The company designed the beautiful covers for
my novels using my suggestions. The novels were on the
market within six weeks after the final approval. iUniverse.com
publishes on demand only. They encourage me to do
everything in my power to promote and sell my novels.
If you want information on publishing with iUniverse.com,
they are easy to find and contact on the Internet. Take it from
me, they will do their best to present you with a publishing
plan that will best meet your needs. And, if you hate paper
work like I do, the only papers you will have to mail by snail
mail are the contracts!

SPECIAL FEATURED E-AUTHOR:
Joan Bramsch
Hi dear Everybody,
I want to thank Glenda for this opportunity to visit with the
readers of her fine E-book Ecstasy newsletter. She's asked me
share with you how I got from there to here! ; )
IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY . . .
In reality, it _is_ less than a year since I became Joan Bramsch
(drum roll, please :), ebook author and ePublisher. It's quite a
story; somebody ought to write an article about it!
Travel back with me to October, 1999, when a news release
came onto my computer screen, announcing a tradition-
breaking program offered by Fatbrain.com (for minds that
think a lot!) To epublish non technical eMatter.
Send us your essays, your poems, your dog-eared manuscripts,
and we will epublish them for you, Fatbrain seemed to say.
And if you sign up before Halloween we'll give you free
(FREE?) monthly storage till April, 2000.
No joke! I checked it out and it was true. Could this be the
answer to my dream to take control of my career (and not
spend my children's inheritance in the process) by publishing
electronically?
For two years or more I had been reading about this new means
of publishing. Some called it "tree-free" publishing, or
"treeless" printing. Surely, this was a print method whose time
had come. No paper, no printing, no storage, no manufacturing
costs for product not yet sold. Yes, this was for me, both
ecologically and economically.
I'd already been published traditionally. First, I had written
"TEACH ME, I'M YOURS: If You Want Your Child To Be
Smart, You Be The First Teacher!"
(TMIY) to teach Parents how to give their child the skills for
school success. The work evolved from a school multimedia
module for McGraw-Hill Films, to a spiral bound soft cover for
Parents, to its present-day, newly revised and expanded ebook
format which can be seen here:
When I wanted to roll out a national ad campaign for the soft
cover TMIY, I had no money, so when a neighbor dared me to
write a romance to finance the deal, I had to do it. It was, after
all, a _double_ dare!
Many of you know I am one of the original Loveswept authors.
The first book came in fifth on the Waldenbook bestseller list,
and the rest rose above that benchmark all the way to first
place. Foreign rights were sold for ten languages; books sold
number close to one million. Exciting, heady stuff!
There's a gap of seven years between my traditional published
books and the advent of my ebook career, due to my husband's
severe and ongoing health challenges. I feel blessed to be my
Bill's full-time caregiver. We are housebound most of the time
so the opportunity to write, publish, market and sell my work
as ebooks is an answer to my prayers.
An added benefit is that I control my career. When one
continues to be a warrior, battling Death in defense of a Loved
One, lessons are learned, sometimes the hard way. For
example: I have learned Life is short and this journey is _not_ a
dress rehearsal. There's no time in my life anymore to wait
upon an editor's ay or nay, or to hope against hope my "across
genre lines" manuscript will master all the hurdles to the
bookshelf and reader. There's no time at all for that.
Enter the new age of publishing. Enter the Ebook Revolution!
You know, we talk about how fast this new industry changes -
at the speed of light, some say. Remember I told you I'd been
studying and preparing over two years for the Ebook
Evolution? So this will come as a complete shock to most of
you -- and, yes, you have full permission to laugh your
head off at my "duh!" Intelligence -- eight months ago, I
honestly thought Fatbrain was the _only_ ebook publisher on
the Internet!
Now I hope you'll rejoice with me because today I can look at
my reflection and say, "You've come a long way, baby!"
But I haven't traveled the E-Road alone. My engineer friend
Dave, the fellow who keeps my computers running, has also
become my ebook assistant. He taught himself how to make
ebooks. Bookmice owner, Aliske Webb, demonstrated her
true, kind self by helping him hone his skills. Such a
sweetheart, is Aliske!
Dave already knew about scanning pictures and using different
fonts and such, so when I asked him to make my ebook covers,
he said he'd give it a try. He claims he gets a kick out of using
his knowledge to make a real live e-business work. You can be
sure I'm glad he's glad because I could never operate my e-
business without his able and willing assistance.
When it comes to creating bookcovers Dave and I are on the
same wavelength. This is how it works: I "see" the cover in
my mind, then communicate the details to Dave. He listens and
designs. In a short time a new cover is ready to grace my latest
ebook.
I admire all six of the Sizzler romance book covers. I smile at
the "You Kids Just Wait!" pink and blue cartoon cover. I'm
charmed by the "Cater Your Way To Riche$" cover framed in
chocolate muffins! I clapped happily when Dave added rows of
sweet little girls and boys -- all flavors! - to frame the family
picture on the TMIY cover.
But the best so far is the cover for CHILLED RUN, which will
complete a ten-week free serialization August 31, before being
offered for sale in September. The story of Chilled Run is truly
one of those "Talk about crossing genres; we can't pigeonhole
it; what the heck is it?" tales. I'm eager to hear the reviewers'
ideas. So far I come up with sci-fi, adventure, mystery, murder,
romance, fantasy, who done it.
But back to the Chilled Run cover. I said to Dave: The action
takes place in the great mountains of the Blackfeet Reservation
in Montana, so there has to be a big snowcapped mountain in
the background. I "see" it reflected in a mirror smooth lake in
mid-picture. We have to make sure the readers get the
connection between Chilled Run and children so we need a
little boy and girl running along the lakeshore in the
foreground. It would be so neat if the Chilled Run title had
snow on the letters. Oh, and will you please make the rest of
the cover the same color purple as the mountain top reflection?
Dave not only designed that cover, he actually improved on my
vision. The little girl is running right out of the lower frame,
directly to the reader. It's uncanny how it gives the cover a 3-D
effect. I'm eager to enter this one in the EPPIE book cover
competition next year. See for yourself:
Now we come to a web site for my ebook business. Eight years
ago I had my own site to market videos. I was the first person
in the world to produce a How-To Video Library for
Miniaturists -- at 12.5 million enthusiasts worldwide, not a
small hobby! It was a great site; it cost a fortune to design,
maintain and operate. But it was a learning experience and I
kept it up till the server building in northern Utah burned down,
leaving a big black hole in the snow. I know I couldn't spend
that kind of money this time around. What to do, what to do?
The answer was right in front of my nose. Actually it was at
celebrityhowto.com where I was already located. Almost two
years ago I had started a new free online weekly - The
Empowered Parenting Ezine, and had grown it to 1000 parents
Because I certainly had experience raising a family of five and
had also taught school for a dozen years, the web master at
celebrityhowto asked if I'd consider being part of their site. I
accepted.
So there I was, already sited, and webmaster Mike said he'd
help me expand my site - what did I want? Thus began the
ongoing creation of JB Information Station, my e-commerce
web site, where a visitor can find many points of interest. S/He
will find my biography, interviews and photograph, info on
Chilled Run, book covers, reviews, samples (and soon, audio)
for the other ten ebooks, info and the current copy of
Empowered Parenting Ezine, plus the EP archives, press kits,
as well as, a score of free How-To articles on various subjects:
travel, recipes, parenting, birthday parties, child protection,
miniature crafts, and holiday celebrations.
Every month I add an article or a new column or new ebook.
Then I invite the world wide web of readers, parents and
authors to come on over for a visit. I love company! Promotion
is a very important part of being a writer -- electronic or
traditional. Networking among peers is paramount. It is not
only great fun, it's also our support system, an oasis of
camaraderie whether congratulations for success or empathy
for something less than success. Scores of ebook writers and
publishers are organizing into groups: e-author, EPIC, e-
publisher, e-writer, e-romance are among those on an ever
growing list. Reading and contributing posts is _the_ way
to stay informed in our business which can, and often does,
change overnight.
So here I am, an ebook writer. Riding high on the wave to the
future -- electronic publishing. Am I glad to be here, among
the industry pioneers blazing new trails? You bet! But am I really
in this for the long haul?
Ladies and gentlemen...You can take that answer to the bank.
YES!

There is no doubt being a part of this emerging e-publishing
Industry is exciting. To see it take shape, move forward and
expand keeps all involved on their toes. Because it is new, a
different and unique way from the old standard of publishing,
collectively our thinking must be new and innovative.
The Internet has opened this door. It is vast, it is global, which
of course, is magnificent. But, for those same reasons we are
mere grains of sand in this immense desert and what we have
to do is distinguish ourselves, grow and become noticed and
known. In e-publishing, two major keys are promotion and
name recognition.
For the steps and methods to get on the road to accomplishing
these, there aren't any better books on the subject then Leta
Nolan Childers "e-Lectrify Your Sales: A Writer's Guide to
e-Publishing Success and Karen Wiesner's "ELECTRONIC
PUBLISHING The Definitive Guide. Every e-publisher and e-
author needs both books and then to put into motion what is
outlined within them.
We must create a further reach. It is wonderful and imperative
to seek reviews, write articles for publications and websites,
participate in newsgroups and discussion lists, but we must be
mindful of the fact that we oftentimes are preaching to the
choir and the audience we are marketing to are our peers. We
need to think outside the box.
Leta Nolan Childers is a master at doing this. Wonderfully so,
she shares some of her innovative thinking within her book and
she has proven these ideas by how prolific she has become.
Excitingly, there are an increasing number of e-authors who are
thinking the same way and creating paradigm shifts themselves
and increasing their name recognition along with the further
awareness of ebooks in general.
I received our local community township continuing education
catalog last week. As I leafed through it I noticed a large
increase of Internet focused classes which even included one
called, "How to Become a Mystery Shopper":) The community
education program in our township is very popular and it
occurred to my why not inquire as to how classes are
determined and how did they select the instructors. When I
contacted the program's director I was pleasantly surprised to
receive an excited reaction when I broached the subject of
offering a class to explore the opportunities and procedures of
e-publishing (this was though after I had spent a good amount
of time explaining just what it was in the first place). The end
result - it looks like next term the township will be including
a class on e-books and e-publishing and I will be the instructor.
It is an avenue for reaching out and educating those who
haven't yet been exposed to it and it sure is exciting!
Sue, as the big guys enter the picture, the public will be come
aware and that is good. But this time, with the Internet's
opportunities, the little guy, the first time author, the self-
published author, the Indie-pubs, have the chance to stay in the
game, become known, move forward and take their rightful
place in the ranks of pioneers. Think outside the box, create
your own paradigm shift through creative thinking. After all,
creativity is a writer's gift, in using it this way, collectively our
grain of sand will become the oasis in the desert and easily
found.

EVA'S COOKING WITH PASSION:
By: Eva Kende
I thought I'd deviate from my usual tips style and share this
wonderfully dramatic recipe with you. While a whole salmon
may be too much for a dinner for two, you can adapt this to just
about any fish or use one of the small farm raised salmons.
Jellied Salmon
Ingredients:
· 1 whole salmon
· 6-8 peppercorns
· 2 bay leaves
· 1 cup commercial mayonnaise
· 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard
· 1 packet of gelatin
Steam the salmon in a minimum of water, with the seasoning
added, until it's just cooked through. Be careful not to
overcook. Gently lift it out from the cooking liquid and by
opening the belly flaps, place it on a metal cookie sheet so that
it's upright. Freeze it in this position.
The jelly: Reduce the cooking liquid to 1/3 cup and strain
through a fine mesh strainer. Dissolve the gelatin in this liquid.
Let it cool until lukewarm then mix it thoroughly with the
mayonnaise and mustard. This jelly mixture will have to be
kept lukewarm throughout the preparation either by placing it
in a bowl of hot water or gently heating it in the microwave as
necessary.
When the fish is frozen, dribble 1/3 of the Jelly over the fish,
using a spatula to cover all parts, just as you would ice a cake.
Since the Jelly is solidifying as you go, it may look a bit messy
at this stage. Using the remaining Jelly, slowly and gently drip
it over the fish to create a dripped finish. It should look like
candle drippings. Any excess Jelly that dripped to the cookie
sheet can be scraped up and reheated to add to the finishing
liquid.
Transfer the salmon to serving platter and decorate with lemon
slices and fresh sprigs of dill if desired. Let it thaw completely
before serving.

TRACY'S BOOK CORNER:

In Death's Shadow
by Stephen C. Davidson
Publisher: Dancing Willow Publications
Genre: Medical Thriller
ISBN 1587970023
Release date: August 2000
Cost: Downloads $3.95 (U.S.) each
**** Excellent
If Harry Adams knew the chain of events that were beginning,
he would have never accepted his friends invitation to go to the
Bare Nights Club that evening. But events already in place,
pull Harry right into the middle of things without his
knowledge until it is too late. Now Harry is not just running for
his life, but also trying to keep Ree alive as well as trying to
find the answers to terrifying and impossible questions.
Kara-Ree 'Ree' Andrews is a woman that is living dual lives.
During the day, she is Ree; a college student, making good
grades and on her way to getting the degree she has always
wanted. By night she is Lee Abu, nightclub stripper. She is also
the unwilling pawn in a deadly game. Everyone is trying to
find her, from the police to the mob to unknown participants.
Her only hope is Harry, but can she trust him? Will he turn her
over if the cost is too high or the price is right?
As Harry and Ree race to find hidden answers and uncover the
truth before it is too late. Thought to be from a deadly virus,
perfect healthy people are keeling over and dying while
exercising. This is a virus the Center for Disease Control can't
identify, while at the same time, the 'Agency' wants to keep it
hidden and terrorists want to get their hands on it. With the
International Games coming up, the solution is critical to
prevent global embarrassment for the United States. How many
more will die? Can the virus be identified in time to save the
Games?
IN DEATH'S SHADOW is a book that captures you and takes
you for a thrill a minute roller coaster ride. Author Stephen C.
Davidson has woven a story involving multiple plots and
multiple suspects. You are kept guessing, while given clues
and suspects, reasons and theories, but nothing concrete. You
hold your breath as you race against the clock with the
characters, turning each page in anticipation. I very highly
recommend this book; it ranks right up there with Robin Cook,
Michael Palmer, and Tess Gerritsen for medical thrillers.

Sunbeam
by Glenda D. Tudor
Publisher: Word Wrangler
Genre: Paranormal Romance Short
Release date: Tentatively set for August 2000
Cost: Downloads $2.50 (U. S.) each
***** Outstanding
Jack Langdon is an author in need of a rest and vacation. His
agent has rented a little cabin in the middle of nowhere for Jack
to get away from everything, relax and finish his fourth novel.
Jack is looking forward to it with great anticipation. What he
doesn't count on is his meeting with the mysterious girl that
calls herself Sunbeam.
Sunbeam comes to the cabin and introduces herself to Jack
after he has been there a couple of weeks. She is only nineteen,
but radiates beauty. She also looks as if she has walked into the
modern world from the Flower Child era. She never takes Jack
to where she is staying and tells him that she is waiting for her
parents to come and pick her up that they should be coming
any day now.
As Jack and Sunbeam get to know each other, a beautiful love
develops between the two of them. Jack has curiosities and
questions, but he always pushes them into the background until
one day they refuse to be ignored any longer. When he begins
questioning Sunbeam, the answers that he is getting not just
frightens him, but also breaks his heart.

Title: I Dare Think Otherwise
Author: Leronia Rawls
ISBN: 1-58785-030-3
Genre: poetry
Formats: PDF & HTML
Price: Disk $6.95 (s&h incl.) Download $4.15
Publisher: Wordbeams http://www.wordbeams.com
Book Page: www.wordbeams.com/sounds.html
Short Description:
This extraordinarily moving and poignant collection of poems
centers on a lifetime of love, heartbreak, and heartfelt
expressions resulting from the author's visual and mental
perceptions as an African American deprived in a disoriented
society of love, hate, and racism.
Book Blurb:
From the time that she learned to write, Leronia Rawls' inner
feelings were expressed on paper that she discreetly treasured
as one treasures his or her personal diary. During her youth,
she didn't perceive her writings as poetic. Later she realized
that her writings were therapeutically spiritual.
Some of the poems, such as Regarding The Lady With One
Shoe, were derived from visions. Other poems were drawn
from the depths of Rawls' experience as a young adult. The
poem entitled The Problem focuses on the author's trauma as a
seven year-old when she was forcefully pulled away from a
department store water fountain designated exclusively for
whites. Black Berries Thoughts came from the summer months
that Rawls spent with her grandparents as a very young child.
Each poem represents a special moment or special event of the
author's past. As the author generously bares her soul and
documents her sentiments, readers will find themselves
thoroughly absorbed and riveted by the touching and
heartrending reflections contained in Rawls' prose.

of horrors.
As time runs out, Christina searches for the lethal link between
the past and the present. In the race of her life, she desperately
tries to save her son, her family and her business.

David Tregorran, whose marriage is breaking up, and whose
