FutureWord Expands Publishing to Books with Religious Allegory
Tacoma, Washington (Sharewellnewswire.com) December 7, 2012
Futureword Publishing is launching the first of religious based books for children and/or adults. The first book on this list is Yvonne E. Lovell's children's story entitled, A Gift For Mrs. Peaches.
“The story is character driven and compelling to read with illustrations that are eye catching. Mrs. Peaches is sick. She believes she is unlucky and that her bad luck will spread to others. Mrs. Scampers, a concerned squirrel, seeks the advice of a loving bear and the two come up with a plan that will solve the issue. The animals in the story use their own resources to help solve the problem,” says Haynes.
Yvonne E, Lovell was introduced to Cheryl Haynes, Publisher at FutureWord by copywriter and best selling author, Kristine M. Smith who was contracted to edit the work. A Gift For Mrs. Peaches struck home to the publisher and the book was forwarded to Valerie Bouthyette for artwork evaluation. Bouthyette is the illustrator of Nicole Izmaylov's GAYA Award Winning storybook Ronnie and BB. Both Haynes and Bouthyette were sold on the ideas in the story.
The 32 page, perfect bound, 8.5 by 11 is illustrated by Tata Jariashvili and is now for sale on Amazon.com for $12.95. The book will be available globally at different international prices, sold through online bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble, or through your local bookstore by request.

FUTUREWORD PUBLISHING ANNOUNCES SECOND NONFICTION TITLE
"SETTLE FOR BEST: Satisfy the Winner You Were Born to Be" Debuts July 4th at Amazon
Seattle WA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Today the President of FutureWord Publishing, Cheryl Haynes, announced the pending July 4th release of SETTLE FOR BEST: Satisfy the Winner You Were Born to Be (ISBN# 978-0615639000) by author and copywriter Kristine M. Smith.
Smith's seventh title, 'SETTLE FOR BEST: Satisfy the Winner You Were Born to Be' is loosely based on Napoleon Hill's seminal bestseller "Think and Grow Rich." The book details twenty commonalities that "up by the bootstraps" millionaire philanthropists shared during the first part of the last century before, during and after the Great Depression. Each chapter title reveals one of the commonalities; then, Smith takes it from there, inspiring and encouraging readers to think and act boldly while so many others are hunkered down, thinking and acting scared, diminished and defeated.
Publisher Haynes' announcement reads in part, "Smith's books is an eye-opening look into the ways successful entrepreneurs think and behave their way to success. 'SETTLE FOR BEST: Satisfy the Winner You Were Born to Be' debuts at a particularly apt time in our nation's history, when so many people are out of work and finding it hard to land a job in the public and private sectors. Smith encourages these folks to use their time of unemployment to dig deep into their souls and re-establish the dreams they had about setting the world on fire when they were children, teens and young adults."
Smith says, "Now is the time to use your free time to consider whether your career ladder has been leaning up against the wrong wall. If so, there's not a thing in the world to stop you from forging the career you want out of your freed up time and energy. You're the only one standing in your way. Kick it up a notch! Move!"
Smith's 2011 title, 'SERVAL SON: Spots and Stripes Forever' reached the #2 and #4 spots at Amazon in two niche categories when it debuted and landed among the top 1000 books sold at Amazon among the more than 5 million titles offered at the site that day.
Kristine's earlier titles include 'DeForest Kelley: A Harvest of Memories,' 'The Enduring Legacy of DeForest Kelley: Actor, Healer, Friend,' 'Let No Day Dawn that the Animals Cannot Share,' 'Purposeful Christianity' and 'Floating around Hollywood and Other Totally-True Tales of Triumph.'
The book will be available at Amazon.com on July 4th. All of Kris's fans are encouraged to but it that day to help run the title up the flagpole at Amazon. Not long after, it will be available on Kindle™. It measures 6 x 9 and will be perfect bound.

Futureword Launches Five Trademarked Books in One Day . . .While the Author Awaits Orders For Troops to Pull Out of Iraq!
Futureword Launches Five Trademarked Books in One Day . . .While the Author Awaits Orders For Troops to Pull Out of Iraq!
PRWeb – 16 hrs ago
Rachel’s middle grade version is Rachel’s Adventures with Mother Nature’s Rescue Squad. In those versions, the characters continue, as in the first volume, to collect new team members and ride inside an enchanted cloud, waiting for a coded message. Mother Nature translates the message that lets them know who has been injured and where they are so Rachel and her team will understand when the cloud suddenly makes a U-turn. True facts about history and nature intersperse with fantasy. Both versions of the series shows how friends work together to resolve problems. However, the Rachel stories are only one part of the series.
Shawn book readers will enjoy action-adventure stories mixed with plenty of fantasy and unabashedly moral values. Since role playing is promoted in these series, Shawn demonstrates his share. He has a horse named “Country” in The Wild, Wild West and Country plays a role in telling the story. The allegory, as with Rachel's series, involves teaching readers to work out solutions within the framework of good moral advice. Elbow-in-the-rib humor dots every page of Shawn's collection of stories. Readers of book series will gain an appreciation for nature, wildlife, and the environment, as well as plant ideas for creativity and reach out to people of other countries.
Blue Hartley can't positively say when he will be called home after all this time. But he still enjoys watching from his FOB in Iraq.

Futureword Launches Five Trademarked Books in One Day . . .While the Author Awaits Orders For Troops to Pull Out of Iraq!
PRWeb – 16 hrs agoThe publisher and illustrator worked with Blue Hartley to bring his stories to the public eye. This writer brings another new meaning to the expression, "Courage Under Fire" Read and see how one man created a new idea for communication while he was incommunicado from his own country.
Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) November 26, 2011
Futureword Launches Five Books Under Trademark Read Along or Read Alone™ No Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, or any networks. Not even a way to see a movie trailer while you are on or off duty in Iraq. Why would you see a trailer if you can't see a movie? You must create your own entertainment.There's proof in the pudding that all of today's creativity is directed in ways to entertain children. How can one's mind stray to the world of imagination?Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) November 26, 2011
Blue Hartley has carried over some of his childhood memories and scripted them into children's stories. Hartley wants to keep the imagination going from one generation to the next. He's created a way for his children to do it.The Iraq Based U.S. Father created these children's series while supporting US troops. When Blue isn’t in the thick of things supporting our troops in Iraq, he’s a long distance dad, and a son. One of the ways he relaxes beneath unfriendly skies is by working on children’s stories that keep him firmly grounded in the US So his life is far from serene. To compensate and find palpable ways to encourage his children, Rachel, and Shawn, (now in their teens) in the United States, to be creative, Hartley writes children’s books that incorporate their names in the stories.
The number of Hartley's trademarked series has grown. He has five of the episodes of one series in one novella length book; one picture book for Rachel, and one for Shawn. Each begin the first volume of the series and has a middle grade or YA version to go with them. Hartley's writing cuts to the chase and has a no-nonsensical approach to reading. The stories are told by critters of all breeds.
Rachel's Adventures with Her Friends of the Forest, is fun, funny and educational. Adding to the story is award-winning artist Valerie Bouthyette’s whimsical color illustrations of the action. In Rachel’s world, the animals she meets form a group who share a love for books and stories. Rachel and Shawn characters encourage young readers to use their imaginations with the books. The six stories included in the first volume of the Rachel Middle grade series describe national parks, such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park in Tasmania, Australia. Another book includes locales in third world countries such as in Africa and Russia.
Shawn Michael Discovers the Secrets of Dog Leg Island (picture book) and its middle grade sequel, Shawn Michael Discovers the Secrets of Dog Leg Island (The Dream Begins), debuts alongside the Rachel series. Shawn's are a collection of Shawn's dream adventures. The Shawn series also includes Shawn Michael's Adventures in the Wild, Wild West.
Blue Hartley can't positively say when he will be called home after all this time. But he still enjoys watching from his FOB in Iraq.
The elementary picture books measures 8.5 by 11 inches, perfect bound, and each has about 44-52 pages. The Rachel middle grade contains 180 pages and is 6 x 9. Shawn's YA versions are sold separately as individual stories. The prices range from $6.99 for the YA books to $13.95 for the 52 page picture books. All books are perfect bound. Amazon.com has been building product pages over the last week. It may take another day or so before the last one posts.

Iraq Based U.S. Father creates children's series while supporting US troops.
Futureword Launches 'READ ALONG OR READ ALONE™' Book Series 11/26/11
PRWeb – 20 mins ago
Iraq Based U.S. Father creates children's series while supporting US troops.
Memphis, TN (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
When Blue Hartley isn’t in the thick of things supporting our troops in Iraq, he’s a long distance dad. One of the ways he relaxes beneath unfriendly skies is by working on children’s stories that keep him firmly, if whimsically, grounded in the USAMemphis, TN (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
.
Haynes explains,"There are Read Aloud books with CD's to play while reading a book aloud. This series doesn't work that way. You either read it alone or with a group. I am taking a risk since there is nothing else like this on the market. But it’s a calculated risk. Many tests were done to check its effects on older and younger readers. Some changes were made to satisfy experts who had objective criticisms, but most aspects were left unchanged because of their positive responses from local libraries and bookstores."
Hartley’s first, but certainly not only offering, Rachel's Adventures with Her Friends of the Forest, is fun, funny and educational. Adding to the story is award-winning artist Valerie Bouthyette’s whimsical color illustrations of the action. In Rachel’s world, the animals she meets form a group who share a love for books and stories. Rachel and Shawn characters encourage young readers to use their imaginations with the books.
The Shawn series also includes Shawn Michael's Adventures in the Wild, Wild West. Shawn book readers will enjoy action-adventure stories mixed with plenty of fantasy and unabashedly moral values. Since role playing is promoted in these series, Shawn demonstrates his share. He has a horse named “Country” in The Wild, Wild West and Country plays a role in telling the story.Sounds comical? Readers will role on the floor.
Each story of the Rachel and Shawn READ ALONG OR READ ALONE™ series begins for the youngest reader with a picture book for Rachel and her brother, Shawn, centering the plot, around an introduction to the main characters, then graduates into YA versions. The allegory, as with Rachel's series, involve teaching readers to work out solutions within the framework of good moral advice. Elbow-in-the-rib humor dots every page of Shawn's collection of stories. Readers of book series will gain an appreciation for nature, wildlife, and the environment, as well as plant ideas for creativity and reach out to people of other countries.
"Hartley doesn't run out of stories. He is a walking children's storybook,“ says Haynes.

2011 marks Hartley’s sixth year in Iraq. Aerial and ground attacks are always a possibility for US troops in Iraq, so his life is far from serene. To compensate and find palpable ways to encourage his children, Rachel, and Shawn, (now in their teens) in the United States, to be creative, Hartley writes children’s books that incorporate their names in the stories.
It didn’t take long for renown New York illustrator, Valerie Bouthyette, and savvy U.S. publisher, Cheryl Haynes, founder of Futureword, to recognize the broader implications when they read Hartley’s manuscripts—all eleven of them. The number of Hartley's trademarked series has grown. Bouthyette had already completed two picture books when she introduced Haynes to Blue Hartley. Then, as Hartley's ideas became more focused and after a few changes in the project, a new series was born.
“Blue Hartley’s READ ALONG OR READ ALONE™ stories have sparked a huge debate from the experts who have read them,” Haynes said recently. "There is no right or wrong about the books. There was a debate as to whether or not to alter them to teach children how to write screenplays or show them a book that would spark their interest in theatrical books books and interest for role playing at the same time.
“The first was a picture book and middle grade version which were sent to publicists who also made recommendations to Hartley. One publicist told Haynes that the books were forwarded to an acclaimed, Emmy-winning screenplay writer for upgrading to a screenplay,” Haynes noted.
Character parts in the picture books are color-coded to cue designated young readers that it’s their turn to read. The picture books are an introduction to a series which appeals to small children initially, but has a big brother or sister middle grade/YA version to go with it.
Hartley’s first, but certainly not only offering, Rachel's Adventures with Her Friends of the Forest, is fun, funny and educational. Adding to the story is award-winning artist Valerie Bouthyette’s whimsical color illustrations of the action. In Rachel’s world, the animals she meets form a group who share a love for books and stories. Rachel and Shawn characters encourage young readers to use their imaginations with the books.
The six stories included in the first volume of the Rachel series describe national parks, such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park in Tasmania, Australia. Another book includes locales in third world countries such as in Africa and Russia.

Mother Nature translates the message that lets them know who has been injured and where they are so Rachel and her team will understand when the cloud suddenly makes a U-turn. True facts about history and nature intersperse with fantasy.
Rachel’s middle grade version is Rachel’s Adventures with Mother Nature’s Rescue Squad. Both versions of the series shows how friends work together to resolve problems. But the Rachel stories are only one part of the series. Shawn Michael Discovers the Secrets of Dog Leg Island (picture book) and its middle grade/YA sequel, Shawn Michael Discovers the Secrets of Dog Leg Island (The Dream Begins), debuts alongside the Rachel series. Shawn's are a collection of Shawn's dream adventures.
Each story of the Rachel and Shawn READ ALONG OR READ ALONE™ series begins for the youngest reader with a picture book for Rachel and her brother, Shawn, centering the plot, around an introduction to the main characters, then graduates into YA versions.

Shawn's YA versions are sold separately as individual stories. The prices range from "6.99 for the YA books to $12.95 for the picture books. All books will be perfect bound. Amazon.com will have them available first, followed by Barnes and Noble.com, and all online bookstores.

May the Best Dog Win Becomes a Coloring Book!
May the Best Dog Win, a humorous picture book about a mixed breed dog named Dash and his battle with the new Sweeper, released as a coloring book on October 1, 2011. The coloring book edition includes the original picture book story in its entirety and also offers children the opportunity to color Dash and Sweeper in a full coloring book following the story.
The idea for this came about when the author, Kelly Hashway, wanted to have coloring sheets available for kids to enjoy after reading the story. Cheryl Haynes, president of FutureWord Publishing, liked the idea since the artwork as digitally colored. This requires that the artist scan the originals into a scanner and upload them to have the computer color the artwork. Unfortunately, this doesn't work on free hand art. After giving it some serious thought, she decided to go ahead and make the entire story into a coloring book. Haynes and Hashway worked side-by-side to make this possible, and in the end, they created a beautiful storybook and coloring book in one.
Hashway states, "The coloring book is gorgeous! My daughter grabbed the crayons the second she saw it, and she loved that she could color Dash and Sweeper her own way. I think kids are really going to enjoy the two books in one that this edition offers."
May the Best Dog Win Coloring Book Edition is now available on Amazon. Readers can still find the original picture for younger children who may not be ready for the coloring book edition. The story is also available on Kindle, so there are plenty of choices for the young book lover in your family.

Author of Blue Sunrise to Debut at the Hilton at Ridgeway
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gregg Overman, author
Gregg Overman, author
Blue Sunrise
Contact Phone: 901-487-6927
Email: greggo@bluesunrise.net
Revised by Kristine M Smith July 20, 2011
Memphis Native Publishes Si-Fi Novel , will sign copies at the Ridgeway Hilton Sept 24 from 2 to 4pm
If Gregg Overman had been any less confident about the science fiction novel he penned ten years ago, Blue Sunrise would still be in manuscript form. But because Overman redoubled his resolve with every publisher's rejection, he now has a science-fiction thriller that is catching the attention and buzz of sci-fi fans on the web.
Touted by some reviewers as an instant science fiction classic, Blue Sunrise takes the reader on a stunning ride toward the destruction of all intelligent life in the universe. Written in three parallel settings, Overman paints a vivid description of the struggle for survival in the face of imminent destruction. The story carries the reader from Earth to the farthest reaches of the galaxy and contrasts the fragile nature of life against its desperate resolve to survive. Overman’s protagonists spring from the page via flawless characterization and bizarre alien locations are described in painstaking detail, transporting the reader flawlessly to other worlds.
Overman knew Blue Sunrise was a winner the moment he finished writing it in 2001. The supreme challenge was finding a publisher willing to take a chance on a virtually unknown author. Overman finally received a call from FutureWord Publishing, a local Memphis publishing house. The powers that be at FutureWord chose Blue Sunrise as their cornerstone release.
Blue Sunrise was released February 2011 and has accumulated significant fanfare. The online science-fiction community has embraced the book, and Overman hopes the acclaim will lead to more mainstream appeal. The book is available at all online bookstores and in some Memphis bookstores.
