Update on dead link. UGH!

*** Update on update: And if you want the link, you can just go google it. They didn't repost the book cover. Didn't care about the new republished version, didn't even bother to say, "congratulations, hey can we do a review of your newest book." I know, how vain of me. They didn't even bother to keep the comments that came over with it. I'm sure they were lost. Ask them about it though. They have wonderful insights as to why I have no right to speak to them the way I did. *Sue shakes her head disconcerted.* It's a "targeted" site that "will" review *ahem* "secular" work or rather non-targeted. You get what you get. Their entire front page is covered with books by "targeted" Christian publishers. Good grief! All while my interview sits in archive and I've never been contacted since to do another interview or heaven forbid a review. Even though my work continues to appeal overwhelmingly to CBA's targeted audience. Nope. I'm a nobody even after being short-listed for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel and making the long-list at the British Fantasy Society. I hate sites that pretend to be something they're not all for the sake of looking like they're helping someone they never cared to help. My interview is in archives. Wow! Thanks for all the love. You know what, I'm gonna post the link. Oh do go post a comment: http://thechristianmanifesto.com/archives/book-review/forever-richard for the review by Jake Chism and http://thechristianmanifesto.com/archives/3602 Y'all go pile on the comments and see if we can't get it to the front page of the site. We only need 18 or 19 from what I can tell. Well, if things work right. ;)

***Update: Oh my! I did hear back but it took me two days to track someone down. Then I had to listen to how nasty my post was below, where I boldly inserted a statement form their front page? "I would've preferred an email," they said, "instead of that nasty blog." Sorry, guy, didn't have an email. The one I found led to a dead link and the last time I posted a "friendly" notice on my blog that the link had disappeared, you responded quite nicely as to where it had been moved. Thought it might work again. The e-mail I found on FB worked, though now I'm sort of sorry it did. Good Grief!! I really held to hope that this "Christian" Magazine, in spite of the usual division of the market into "Christian" meaning evangelical and "secular," meaning every other faith, would in fact break all the molds. Sadly, it's the same old same old.
***Update over***

Long story short, after appealing to this magazine to please give all authors equal play, I got the interview reposted. But not without being told that they really didn't like me and didn't want to put it back up. LOL To that I say, feel free to pull it at any time. If I'd known for sure this magazine was like all the other "Christian" magazines out there, I would've run as fast as I could the other way. As a rule, I don't open myself up to be abused and disrespected.

***update over***

Well I'm currently putting together an Electronic Press Kit and went to put links to the grand two part interview I did with Jake Chism of the Christian Manifesto that was moved from it's original location shortly after going live only to find that it's missing once again. Oh good grief. Yep, it's one of the best interviews out there and I can't find it once more.

If you look at the "about me" section on the Christian Manifesto it says this:

" . . . We’re just as comfortable reviewing and critiquing the creative work of Eminem as we are Steven Curtis Chapman. We won’t crucify an artist because he swears too much nor will we praise an artist simply because they make worship music. We won’t degrade an author because their writing is risqué or praise one because their main character is an Amish woman . . ."

But being comfortable doesn't seem to mean they won't move your interview or completely get rid of it shortly after inception or at some point when they think you're not paying attention. How much you want to bet I don't hear back from these guys this time as to how to get to this grand interview. Oh, and for the record, after the first move, the pictures that went with the interview NEVER showed up again including the book cover. Appreciate the respect guys. Seriously!

Seems to be just another case of the "conservative evangelicals" throwing their assumed weight around again. So sad. :(

If I'm not given the links soon, I'll post the interview myself with added bonus material. :)

What follows is the ORIGINAL post. It no longer applies the interview is once again gone.

I told them I wouldn't do the interview unless I could speak frankly about the "Christian" publishing industry. They agreed that this was fine. Guess I should've made them agree to not pulling the interview whenever they please.

*****Nuther UPDATE*****
Mr. Jake Chism did the work for me and found the links. How's that for cool!

Part 1

Part 2

Jake rocks!


****UPDATE*****UPDATE****
See comment from C.E. Moore to this post for "importante informacion!" The mysterious disappearance of my interview at The Christian Manifesto isn't that at all. It seems they simply moved. I just didn't get the change of address notice. LOL I'm off to get it now and will repost the link to my interview if it was moved as well. Of course it was moved. Why would they not include my interview in the move. *Sue looks around paranoid starts gnawing on fingernails* They wouldn't not move my interview, would they?


Earlier this year I did a wonderful two part interview with the Christian Manifesto. I even linked to it of course so others could learn more about my books etc . . . Don't know what happened, but the blog is gone!!! Poof! Vanished into thin are. Maybe they just moved the interview and renamed the blog. I'll see if I can find out. That was a really good interview too. Oh well, se la vi.

Excerpt from Forever Richard.

"Ahem." The doctor already on board protested, "It's against hospital policy for unauthorized personnel to use the elevators during an emergency." They paid no attention.

When the doors closed Rodney said, "There's no emergency. I set off the fire alarm. We needed a distraction so we could get our friend out of here." He indicated Josh with a quick nod of his head. "See, he's a vampire and he's going to need blood real soon."

The elevator doors slid open at the fifth floor. Those inside rushed out--except for the doctor. Cassie said, "That was a brilliant performance. Perhaps you should've told the doctor a little more."

"What do you mean? I told him everything."

"My point exactly."

"I also told him the truth, so you should be happy."

They took the first corner with watchful eyes; they didn't want to draw any more attention than necessary. "It doesn't matter if you tell the truth if you don't know when not to."

"I don't know what you're so upset about. It doesn't matter what I told him. If he believes what I said about my setting off the fire alarm, which is plausible, he'd also have to believe the part about Josh being a vampire, which is implausible. What are the odds?"


"Pretty good I'd say," Kyle remarked after looking back over his shoulder. "Here comes the good doctor now and it seems he's met up with a few security guards."

A guestbook entry. ;)

**update. I am forevermore amazed at how many hits two or three of my posts get. This is one of them. Go read my other posts!!!!! They're just as, if not more so, interesting. BTW with the way publishing is going it won't be long now before it will all come down to the quality of the book and not the quantity you get out there. FINALLY!!!!! ****

Yes. I actually have a guestbook on both of my sites. Every now and then, as my books pick up steam (relative steam that is. Remember I've no powerhouse publisher to pimp my books and making the short-list of major awards doesn't seem to cut it as far publicity goes) I get an entry that isn't porn related. Meaning that apparently my sites get enough attention for bottom-feeder porn sites to perk up an ear. Anyway here's one particular entry I found interesting. I actually think I've posted it here before but I'll post it again to hopefully help someone new to the publishing industry/racket. ;)

Guestbook entry:

I thought I was the only one who liked to write stories about Christian Vampires and Werewolves. I recently purchased Never Ceese and Forever Richard and I'm wondering how much they'll turn out like what I write.

I became vegetarian at age ten. I also like to include animals in my stories. Sue, if you don't mind telling me who your agent is, if you have one, I would love to get my work published as well. I have not been able to find any publisher or agent who wants my kind of writing. I also write fantasy and science fiction. All unpublished. Maybe you'll help pave the way for more bizzare story lines.

Thanks.Indeed I think I can help. First off I don't write about Christian vampires and werewolves because in the publishing world the label Christian is being abused by an affiliation set up to only serve a very closed market of readers that denominationally exclude. Perhaps you think abuse is a strong word to use but Christian is a broad label and to the best of my knowledge it was never meant to represent one exclusive group.

So it would be advantageous for you not to use the broader label Christian to describe your work as this will throw you into this niche market whose work does not appeal to general market readers, Christians included.

No. I don't have an agent. Never could get one to look. Not even after my debut novel was short-listed for a Bram Stoker Award and not even now with Forever Richard being up for a 2010 British Fantasy Society Award. I know. Right? And oh my gosh, you should see some of the responses I get when I query for one even today. LOL Sorry. I've decided to stop setting myself up for that kind of abuse. Hey, there's that word again.

Also don't fall into the trap of dumping your money into writers' conferences or joining groups that simply label themselves Christian as that would be the group I talked about before and they don't accept Sci-Fi or Fantasy and specifically no horror MS's because they claim their core market readers don't want to read it. It's easy to get confused though because they do put out books that suggest they do. They don't and you will be wasting your time.

My stories bizarre? Why thank-you muchly. ;D

You can read through my blog to get more help on just how to get published but the thing to keep in mind is that you WILL NOT be able to making a living writing and for the first few years you will LOSE money and a LOT of it. Sorry if that's depressing but I'll not mislead anyone.

Want to rave about Amazon Kindle? Go somewhere else.

I'm sure a lot of you have had great success with Amazon kindle and I went into it with high hopes. Had a friend get Never Ceese upload ready and submitted it. I was happy to see I was given control over the categories it would show up in but have to admit I doubted it would matter as to date, Amazon seems to posts books wherever they feel like it.

Well I'm happy to report Amazon acted true to form. After about two days on Kindle my book got it's first one-star rating (not that I never expected one, just that this one came because of genre ignorance on Amazon's part.) Why give author's the choice of categories if you aren't going to stick to them? ARRRRGGHHH!

Also I thought with Kindle I'd at least be safe from that horrid return policy that brick and mortar stores share with the distributors that provide them with best-selling authors books.

NOPE!

Of the seven kindle books I sold straight away, one was returned. *gasp*

You're kidding right? I am probably the ONLY author who has had a kindle book returned. I've no idea what it cost me. I was too sick to look. Thanks a lot Amazon.

Yes. I pulled my Kindle version. I don't need that kind of help. By the way, while Amazon finally pulled my Kindle book, they didn't pull the one-star review that came because of their ignorance. That reader would've never seen my book had it not been for them. Genre's are there for a reason Amazon. Use them!

Jackson MS Books-A-Million signing.

Never mind. LOL

I don't have the funds to promote a booksigning and sure don't see the point when the bookstore no longer has me in their system so they can order more if they do sell out. Just do me a favor and go buy the nine that are at the Jackson Books-A-Million before they can be sent back to my publisher who will then lose money hand over fist because they have to pay for books that are returned.

Do know that as far as Books-A-Million goes, for whatever reason, Forever Richard no longer shows up in their system at all on-line or otherwise. Sad. Very sad.

Also if you do buy one of the nine copies and don't have Never Ceese or haven't read it, please contact me at sdent1@bellsouth.net and I'll be glad to get you a copy. The Bookshelf in Ridgeland has copies and can call me to bring them up there if they run out.

Good folks there! ;)

It's officially unofficial. Mo Con V bound!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances that come with plans formed at the last minute, *Sue rapping like Rabbit in 8-mile, "I will be at Mo-Con V. I will be bring books from home. I will seek out the Funky Werepig Broadcast. I do live in a trailer park with my mom *Sue snaps back to reality, oops there goes gravity, oops she won't have it. . . "

Okay, I think that gets the point across. So if you're in the area and want to visit and purchase either Never Ceese or Forever Richard or meet ANY of the other unbelievably talented Horror writers of the day with guests including but not limited to Brian Keene, Kim Paffenroth and the Sinister Minister Maurice Broadus himself -- then check out this site for more information.

Michael West, as I understand it, will be upholding the no-pants tradition during the Funky Werepig Broadcast and may inspire others to follow the tradition. Who knows? All I know is that this could be very interesting. ;)

Also you may come to learn more about my new release from Nicholas Grabowsky's Black Bed Sheet Books, "Electric Angel."

Or come get you a copy of Never Ceese THE PAPERBACK published by my own S D Enterprises or Forever Richard published by The Writers' Cafe Press and talk about Cyn No More to come out later from TWCP.

So much to talk about so little time.

Hope to see you there!

Oh and is there a longest drive prize?! ;)

Return Policy Blues/Scam - Part three.

Part two prompted some very interesting comments but none are more revealing than the one posted by my publisher who has been there and back. Since comments to blogs are almost better than the blog itself I will post my publishers response here. Just know I was actually considering going the route my publisher went after talking with the distributor they went with until that distributor couldn't promise me any help if books came back unsellable. The only thing the distributor would say is that she would GUESS that only 5% were ever returned damaged. If that's true then explain why my current publisher is now being charged over $900 for one month for returned books. Now I'm no expert at math but that sounds like a LOT more than 5%!!!!

Without further ado, my publishers' comment:

What really gets my goat is damaged returns to the distributor. Neither I nor my authors is physically responsible for the damaged book! yet, who sucks up the cost?

The distributor stores the book, they package and mail it to the buyer. Somewhere in this process a book is damaged. I pay for a) original fulfillment fee, b) the book printing, c) reimburse the buyer for what they paid, d) pay the distributor for their return admin fee and, e) have one less book to sell. And, I haven't even touched the darn book -- I pay the distributor to do it.

Perhaps the "damage" occurred in the printing? well, most of my books are printed by the same company that distributes them. But, I don't see them offering to eat the damaged return.

For a small publisher, it is the middle man that reaps the benefits -- not the bookstores or the publisher/ author.

Publisher's Weekly review?

Well I have to tell you when The Writers' Cafe Press picked up Forever Richard I was excited and so were they (they are friends first and foremost.) Moving up from a small Indie press to a Mid-range press (in regards to sales that is. Non-monumental sales but sales none-the-less) surely meant more respect from first-line reviewers who get most of the attention when they review books (good or bad.)

I tried to get a review of Never Ceese from PW when it first came out but learned, oh my, you had to send them an arc well in advance of being published. Okay. No problem. Forever Richard would certainly meet that criteria. Oh and then there's this criteria.

An accompanying letter should contain a description or synopsis of the book, and any pertinent publicity information, including the author’s previous titles, blurbs, or previous reviews. Book club, paperback, audio or movie rights sales, author tours of 5 cities or more, a print run of more than 10,000 or an ad/promo budget of more than $30,000 should be noted.

Sure. Yeah. Right. Who in the heck are they talking too?

They were sent an arc of Forever Richard with all the information associated with my previous book and wala--nothing. Oh yeah. They get a lot of books. Give you one guess who gets reviewed and it ain't the small presses or self-pubbed authors.

What's my point?

What? I have to have a point?

Sorry. Didn't really have one. ;)

Hopefully helpful news to aspiring authors.

The publishing industry is full of pitfalls the least of which will have a would be author giving up before they even get started. Can't say I knew about many of them going into it but I've learned a good bit since. All and all, if you walk in with your eyes open and your purpose set, you'll fair okay. But it isn't helpful when things aren't as they appear. This is particularly mind-boggling when attempting to choose a market for your work. For instance I chose young adult as my editor and first publisher said that's who they felt would most likely enjoy my stories. It's important to note my first publisher was also a Christian (non CBA affiliated) publisher so we eagerly began trying to get books into Christian bookstores. After all, we had distribution through STL a "Christian" distributor.

*Woop. Woop. Red Alert. Danger. Danger*

Little did we know that "Christian" in the publishing industry referred to one market not the entire market. And that one market is exclusive (meaning a publisher has to pay to belong) and denominational (meaning the work produced is for one audience and a very narrowly targeted one at that.)

Needless to say, calling my work "Christian" would not put it in the hands of anyone who would enjoy it the most. Well there's a fine how do you do! My first non-affiliated Christian publisher wasn't even told that the chances of her getting non-affiliated books in a larger (CBA affiliated) Christian bookstore were um, ZERO! The distributor simply took her money and would report with each attempt that "no, that Christian bookstore didn't want to carry her books either."

So many authors are contacting me now, I guess because I've so many openly Christian readers and with a vampire/werewolf story no less, and asking me how I did it.

The only thing I can tell you is this, unless your story is overtly Christian and designed to appeal to the audience CBA and ECPA serve (an audience that won't read sci-fi, fantasy and of course not horror. Nor will they read anything that isn't heavily evangelical) do NOT call your work Christian. Or if you do, make sure you tag on with every breath that your work isn't CBA or ECPA affiliated (if it isn't anyway.) That's an exclusive market and their work is not designed (nor does it) appeal to general market readers. Christians included.

Saying your work is Christian before you're picked up by a publisher will severely lessen your chances of having your work looked at by anyone other than an affiliated agent. And if you write in the Sci-fi, fantasy or horror genre, affiliated agents will send you happily marching. ;)

Ceese and Richard fly to Singapore and Malaysia for Christmas!

Ceese and Richard fly to Singapore and Malaysia this Christmas as a result of two instances where I offered interested individuals a free autographed book of Never Ceese due to having POD distribution and the stigma that goes along with it. Not even having a traditional publisher first seems to help fight this stigma. Sad. Very sad. Sorry to any other interested parties. While I'd love to comply, it's simply too financially draining.

You should have no trouble getting Forever Richard though thanks to the Writers' Cafe Press. ;)

So order away.

Merry Christmas, Charlene and Aik!

Your copies went out today 12-21-09.

Amazon rocks? Say it ain't so!

I know. Ain't it something. So I've been going round and round with them to display the paperback of Never Ceese which is in print instead of the hardback of Never Ceese which isn't in print and is no longer something I make any money off of AND they finally did it!!! Okay so it took like about 50 e-mails back and forth, give or take 10 or 20 BUT they did it.

Then after telling me that they wouldn't remove the bundling option from my book page nor would they stop bundling books with mine that come through exclusive Christian publishers who don't support non-affiliated Christian authors such as myself, THEY DID IT! Well they didn't remove the option but they did bundle my book with another one of MY books.

How cool is that?

Way cool!

Thank you so much Amazon, if that means anything to you. ;)

Forever Richard Sold out!

Maybe Forever Richard has sold out its first print run. It seems quite a few sites are showing temporarily out of stock. Well, Merry Christmas to me I guess. ;) I've got a very few copies left myself and will call and check to see if I can get more soon. In the meantime, I'd buy myself a copy or two if I were you.

Why heck, I'd buy 'em all!!!

Local Books-A-Million - RAWKS!!!

Updated 11-12-10

The copies of Forever Richard my local BAM has are actually just returned-from-the-bookstore books that were sent back to the distributor (most likely Ingram) after BookMasters, my publishers distributor, oversold my publishers books for a commission. BAM's only sell returned-from-the-bookstore books. These book were supposed to come back to my publisher. They didn't yet my publisher had to pay for returns they never saw and are currently be sold at BAM. Buy them if you like but until Black Bed Sheet Books puts out the next copy of Forever Richard I prefer you simply buy the book from me here on this blog. If you see any of my books in any BAM just understand I don't ever see any of the money and surprisingly neither does my publisher or rather ex-publisher though I only call them that because they returned the rights of Forever Richard to me. Love them. But no, I'm not about to beg for a booksigning at a store when I make nothing off the books sold and never will.

**************************************


Local Books-A-Million - RAWKS!!!

OMG! Back in September I think it was, I walked in to my local Books-A-Million on I-55 North in Jackson, Mississippi and spoke with Jonathon, curious about what it would take to get them to shelve my books in the regional section. Before I could finish asking, Jonathan informed me he'd ordered 20 of Forever Richard. I threw my hands up. "No!" I said. Five or six but not twenty. If they don't sell you'll send them back to the distributor and my publisher will actually EAT the books." He smiled graciously and told me they never send books back but he did cut the order to ten.

I went back to that Books-A-Million two days ago and looked for my book. I couldn't find it. Had Jonathan lied. But I checked with Ingram when he said he ordered and sure enough there was an order of ten. I spoke with Jonathan yesterday. All ten copies had sold. PLUS he'd ordered ten copies of Never Ceese at the same time and they sold. My local Books-A-Million sold twenty of my books in less than two months time!

Needless to say, I think a book-signing is in order.

I'm setting one up now and will let you know more when all the details are worked out.

What a Merry Christmas!

Pluto Award Nomination! TWO BOOKS!

Pluto Award Nomination! Say it once say it twice either way it's sweeeet! Somehow I have to forget about this now so I don't worry endlessly about the outcome. *Sue biting nails.* Well, at least I'm not biting necks. ;)

Cyber Monday and Amazon.

A quick note about Cyber Monday and Amazon in regards to purchasing my books. Just wanted to remind that on Amazon my books are still being bundled with books put out by affiliated Christian publishers that discriminate, censor and otherwise provide fiction for a very targeted market and don't support any other Christian market out there.

Worse than that, Amazon is also bundling the hardback of Never Ceese with Forever Richard presently and not the paperback. I've attempted on several occasions to ask Amazon how I can control bundling options on MY listings but I've received no answer beyond their automated, "blah, blah, blah," irrelevant response.

I'll not receive a response from Amazon (at least not a helpful one) because in the whole scheme of things, I don't matter. I'm below their radar and off the map succeeding with a mid-range publisher without their help. When I do become an author to pay attention to (according to Amazon standards) I will work to have ALL my listings removed from Amazon as the way they operate does not help anyone but those published by larger houses who don't need Amazon's help.

Actually most on-line bookstore sites operate this way but Amazon is the only one I've dealt with so far who will not address any problem that might help an authors books sell better.

So please, for the love of God, DO NOT buy the hardback of Never Ceese bundled with Forever Richard. The money goes straight to Journey Stone Creations and I see none of the proceeds. Besides, why would you pay full price for a book you can get for $2 - $3 all day long from those who buy from the liquidators Journey Stone sold all of their stock to when they went under?

Also PLEASE do not purchase books put out by affiliated Christian authors that are bundled with mine. I do not want to support an industry that excludes and doesn't support me or any other author that doesn't pay a fee and doesn't write censored and targeted fiction.

There are a gazillion other ways to buy my book as many of you have found! ;)

So there you go.

Carry on!

And happy Cyber Monday!

Proof that readers are paying attention.

Yes. I needed confirmation and I got it. I found this on a blog tour notorious for reviewing only CBA Christian fiction and not fiction by other authors who have been approved for distribution to the Christian market by Spring Arbor. This tour refused to tour Forever Richard but HA, it didn't matter. This excerpt came from a reader who was reviewing what CBA wanted to claim at the time was the first Christian vampire novel when it in fact was simply the first book published by a CBA affiliated house that dared to dabble in something that seemed to be vampirish (despite what they advertise and say no CBA affiliated house will put out a vampire novel. Their core market won't read it and will threaten to burn the book at the stake.) In the review you'll find this comment:

. . . Sue Dent's "Never Ceese" takes the honor of being the first with a redemptive vampire. . .

What? What? What? Ah well, one sentence but hey, it's something. :)

For the record, my stories aren't the first with a redemptive vampire mine are simply the first vampire/werewolf story that appealed to that closed market of CBA Christian readers whose affiliated publishers won't put out such stories. Nevertheless, it's good to get a mention and it's certainly good to know that readers are paying attention. :)

Fair Warning!

I'm running low on Forever Richard again. If you want to give the gift with bite for Christmas, you'd best order soon. Well, if you want it autographed that is. :)

And to help you along, here's one way to order both. Just click on the image to the left.

To buy each book individually, look in the sidebar and click there. Again, you can order these books wherever books are sold but you won't typically find them on bookstore shelves yet. We all have to start somewhere, right? All bookstores can order them though, so there ya go. :)

This is a nice way to bundle these two books. Amazon is notorious for linking my work with books from an affiliation that excludes based on whether a publisher pays a fee and writes targeted fiction. Amazon has complete control of this and I can't seem to keep it from happening.

This is the only way I know to nip some of that activity.

God Bless and Merry Christmas.

I think I figured PayPal out!

Hey, I think I figured out how to work Paypal's checkout so that it accurately charges for shipping. Why don't about 1500 of you go and see if it works by purchasing either Never Ceese or Forever Richard.

I'd ask for more of you to go order but I think 1500 will be enough for now. :)

Happy Birthday Publisher Lady! :)

Happy Birthday Publisher Lady, Cynthia!

A little over two years ago, give or take a few months, a certain person at the Writers' Cafe Press took a chance on a certain author when nobody else would and now it's her birthday again! Funny how that happens every year.

I agree that moving back to Canada was the best thing but I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!

Happy Birthday YOU!

I have distribution people!

Okay, so since I do have distribution, because Forever Richard is through a traditional press, The Writers' Cafe Press and Never Ceese is available through Ingram, do go to your local bookstore to order. No, the books probably won't be on the shelf in most stores. Why would they be? No one knows who I am and my books certainly aren't selling in numbers that make a difference to brick and mortar bookstores--at least not yet. :)

BUT you will save on shipping if you simply go to your larger bookstores to order or on-line.

I will tell you this, Never Ceese, the paperback, isn't orderable through Canadian bookstores yet because I, Sue Dent, didn't see the paperwork I was supposed to fill out to make this happen. Good grief!

So yes! Buy my books anywhere and do know that you can go straight away to any bookstore to order them. The more you order, the sooner they'll start showing up on the shelf.

As for Never Ceese the hardback, be careful. Listings for this book are inaccurate. In Canada this book is showing up as paperback and the publisher as Christian Focus Publications. DO NOT buy any copies of Never Ceese the paperback unless it shows the publisher as S D Enterprises. Christian Focus Publications distributes through STL which is why they are showing up as the publisher. Initially Journey Stone Creations used STL(Send the Light) for distribution. Since information, once it's on the web, never goes away, Never Ceese is showing up as available through STL again. Never Ceese was never available through STL. The hardback is published by Journey Stone Creations who is no longer a traditional press and sends me no money for the 250 books they kept after liquidating the remaining 5000. Please do not buy any copies of Never Ceese the paperback unless it the publisher shows up as S D Enterprises.

Love Y'all!
Sue Dent
