REVIEW OF THE BOOK « THE ROAD TO DEER RUN » BY ELAINE COOPER

It was an absolute pleasure to read Elaine Cooper first book. I just fell in love with it. As I started reading it, I found myself very eager to carry on with my reading; the book was so well written that I connected easily with the characters and the places where the story took place. Honestly, I felt like I was watching a very nice historical romance movie in Technicolor.

“The Road to Deer Run” takes place in 1777 during the war between the British and the American. A young atheist British soldier, Daniel Lowe, is seriously injured before running away from his regiment to find refuge in the nearest village called “Deer Run” where he met a young Christian American lady, called Mary Thomsen.

Being enemies of war, they soon learn that they strongly need the support of each other to survive Evil at his fullest. When God is allowed into the picture as the Great Physician, true healing on one’s innermost being takes place. When a person allows the Great Physician to have access to his heart; healing for the mind and emotions follows on applying the healing power of God’s Word. (Quote from God’s Prescription by Ken Sharum).


Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: Or Christ, that person is a new creation. The old has gone, the new is here.

Elaine Cooper’ book shows us that God can turn hatred into friendship and restores the years that the Devil has stolen from our lives a hundredfold. He is forever faithful and full of surprises. The author demonstrates that God let things happen in our lives so we can turn to Him for help, as He saves from our sins. Elaine also shares the longing of God to have a loving relationship with those who doubt his existence and forgiveness.

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Being Elaine Cooper’ first book, I felt that it was the written work of professional with a lot of experience.

Her book is well researched. Deep emotions, love and passion have been put into Elaine’ historical romance novel where love is deeply rooted to the soul and heart of each character. Elaine has managed to give her readers a book where perfection prevails. The author knows how to get the attention of her audience from the beginning to the end of her story.

To conclude, I would recommend Elaine Cooper’ first novel “The Road To Deer Run” as a great gift for anyone that wants to read a good breathtakingly historical romantic novel. Most importantly, I would suggest it as a good read for those who still doubt the existence of God.

May God use Elaine Cooper ‘book to reveal his forgiveness and character in order to change the stoniest hearts?

DESTINY'S DREAM BY DELIA LATHAM

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Is a little respect too much to ask at a parent’s funeral?
Apparently it is for Destiny May. Clay Gallagher is built like a small mountain and far more vocal than is fitting when he shows up late to her mother’s “going away party.” When it turns out he’s not even at the right funeral, Destiny demands retribution in the form of an escape from the day’s dreary proceedings. Spending time with a handsome stranger who makes her laugh is more therapeutic than fighting with her overbearing family.
Clay finds Destiny beautiful, charming...and intelligent. So why is she stubbornly determined to open a Christian dating service? Clay has little respect for such a frivolous profession, and doesn’t think the small, conservative town of Castle Creek will welcome such a progressive business. But when Destiny is threatened by an anonymous caller who deeply resents her and what she does for a living, Clay makes it his business to keep the saucy redhead out of harm’s way.
Trouble is, spending time in her company weakens his defenses, and Destiny may be the one thing Clay can’t escape...if he even wants to.

OUT OF THE SHADOWS - JENNA'S SECRET BY CHRISSY SIGGEE

I just wanted to thank Chrissy Siggee for giving me the opportunity to read her fiction book called "OUT OF THE SHADOWS - JENNA'S SECRET". I was a bit reluctant at reading it at first because I've never really believed in the impact of Christian fiction books could change lives, but, I must admit that Chrissy's book proved me wrong.

I very much enjoyed reading Chrissy book as it is well written and easy to read and it took me only 2 days to get through it.

Chrissy book relates the story of a young girl called Jenna, who is passionate with playing hockey, her dream to make to the finals is shattered following a serious injury during a soccer game. As a result, Jenna found herself struggling with anorexia but she manages to fight her illness with the help and love of doctors, family, and friends. Her faith in God plays a major part in her healing and also, leads her to help another young girl who had been struggling with bulimia for years.

The story moved me to tears as I noticed that power of the love of God brought dramatic healing to those young girls struggling with self-esteem and eating disorders.

To conclude, I would recommend this book to any parents who have kids with eating disorders.

God bless you all.

The real secret to making money online has nothing to do with your site or the product you sell......Fact!

What really makes the difference as to whether you make money or go bust is all dependant on how many people see your site each day.

What if you could guarantee that all these visitors were real people, and they would be on your site for at least 10 seconds each? And what if you could get all this completely free?

Would your bank balance be able to take the strain as the sales poored in?

This is going to change the way you market forever.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SELL MORE BOOKS ?????????????????????????????

I have recently self-published my first book “KNOWING GOD”; and I have my own blog: the question I have been asking myself is: “How come I haven’t sold a lot of books?” Which made me think from a shopper point of view. What do I look for when I buy a book? , what ticks me off to make this invaluable purchase?

That got me thinking about the impulse I get when I purchase CD’s, DVD’s, books and go to the movies.

Well, let’s forget about the book market for a moment and focus about the other stuff like the music and movie business. A while back, I used to buy my music tapes from the music stores as I paid the full price, being a music lover. Nowadays, I don’t want and do not have the money to be spending 20 euros on an album. I do buy my music on amazon and I get the cheapest CD’s I can find because I can buy so many for a cheap price without forgetting that billing price will go up once the postage is adding to my transaction. Today, I own an MP3 and I don’t really like having a lot of CD’s boxes around, they take too much storage space. So I only buy the MP3 download version of the album I fancy on amazon, I recently saw them on the deezer.com for half the price they are sold on amazon which helps me to reduce the money I spend on CD’s and DVD’s.

Besides, when I go to the amazon page to buy music, I just type the name of the artist I like and see what’s come up; I listen to the album quickly to make sure I would enjoy the music. As a matter of fact, I would rarely visit the next pages of the search for that artist because I’m usually satisfied with the prices displayed on the two first pages of my search. I always go for the cheapest seller.

Talking about movies, I do go to the movies but I tend to go in the morning because it is cheaper, I only go to the cinema to see big budget movies like “AVATAR”, “LORD OF THE RINGS”, “PONYO”, “NARNIA”; however, the small budget movies like Jennifer Anniston movies, I’d rather see them on DVD’s or on streaming even though the quality is not that good. I want to make an intelligent remark which is, that people would rather go to the cinema if it was cheaper. I’m prepared to go to the cinema a lot more if the price of the movie came up to 3 euros for a movie, but, that does only happen when they have the film festivals, and again, they are only showing films that are a bit crap not like the big blockbusters.

About the books ???????

I used to buy my books in a small Christian shop including Borders and WH Smith when I didn’t own a computer. I found those shops quite expensive compare to the internet. Now that I do have internet, I shop on amazon for my books and I do search by subject and author. Those that have big names like Joyce Meyer have credibility but I came across other authors that I never heard before. I use the “search inside the book” and the table contents as I can find out if the book would be something I would enjoy reading. Most of the time, I will also look only at the two first pages of my search because the more knowledgeable books would be displayed in the first pages of the search. I would also usually purchase the cheapest book within the selection I’m interested in. I rarely read the comments to find out if the book has had a great impact but I usually do that when I buy household or beauty products on amazon because sometimes you can end up buying a crap product.

When I used to work in London, I’ll be looking at what people are reading in the underground and if I like the cover, I would go and do a search on the internet to purchase that book. I usually enjoyed that book once I read it. I usually dump them on the tube or charity shop for somebody else to enjoy reading it. I usually recommend the book to my friends.

As a self-publisher, I can understand why my book doesn’t sell. I’m a new author. My book is at the end of the search list where people usually never bother to look at, competing with so many books that have been bought so many times and are sold back at a ridiculous price. The price of my book is quite overpriced compare to those already on the market. I’ve put my book on a kindle format at a ridiculous price and if my book is at the end of the list, it will probably never been looked at.

I got myself thinking, I’m sure my book would be selling in book shops on a nice display if people see my lovely book cover, people usually pick up a book when they see a nice cover and are also interested about what the back cover reveals about the book.

In conclusion, Would I be staying in the book business long enough to see a miracle. Probably yes, probably not, it depends if God gives me the patience to wait for positive results. Amazingly enough, my blog has already been read by more than 850 people. That is a big mass of people. Imagine if that 800 people would have bought my book, I would have written more books by then. Explanation follows:

When you are an inexperienced writer like me, you have to finance your book cover, editing and marketing. All those things cost money. Searching for the right publisher costs money too, I remembered printing so many papers as I sent a synopsis to so many publishing companies. I got a lot of rejection letters; the only positive offer I got was from a publishing company that went bankrupt shortly after. When I got self-published, I spent quite a lot of money, buying my own book to send it to churches, people on the internet and a Christian radio but I got only one feedback in return. That’s life. So many efforts for nothing. Even my friends can be excited about you writing a book, but not one of them purchased my book. I’m not disgusted; I’m just saying “Welcome to the real Word”.

I do live in France and I love writing in English but, for those, who are abroad, if you write books, try to sell a few copies through your church bookstore, I’m sure you’ll have a chance to impact the congregation in a nice way.

As I always say, the hard part is not writing the book because it comes as a second nature. The hardest part is to get people interested in buying your books. Things are different for those that have a lot of money that can be invested in top PR and marketing campaigns. Everything is done for them by top professionals; they even have book signing events.

Sorry if I disappointed quite a few writers in this article but the truth had to be said.

Wishing you the best of luck with your writing. Thank you for reading me.
