No Innocent Affair by Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr. with Kelly Helen Mrkvicka takes a look at the plague of the 21st century and one of the main contributors to the destruction of the American family-the sin of Adultery. Being a lay minister and a man who has studied the Word for many years, the author, Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr., gives not his opinion, but gives the absolute truth of God’s Word through an extensive categorical list of scripture therefore laying first a biblical foundation. Then by clearly stating first God’s view and comparing it with Society’s view, the author lays bare the truth about adultery and the devastating consequences of adultery, not only to the person who commits the sin, but to others we love in our life who are the innocent victims of this pervasive ripple effect sin that is so prevalent in our society.

Most do no realize the far-reaching consequences of the sin of adultery in their lives, nor the cost and the author makes no mistake that there is no such thing as ‘an innocent affair’. This book is an eye opener for most and highly recommended for anyone either contemplating an adulterous affair or for those who may have been entangled in an adulterous affair. The author shows the way out with some of most practical teachings culminated from the infallible Word of God to bring others out of their sin and into the light of the Lord.

Openly, but lovingly, the author shares the unavoidable, yet dire consequences of adultery and reveals that not only does it affect our lives spiritually and physically, but the sin has a ripple effect that goes on to “… virtually every innocent person in our lives” (p.11). The consequences are so monumental, that no one in their right mind “armed” with the truth of God’s Word would commit adultery, but sadly, the author concedes from a recent survey, “…that over 88 percent of Americans believe adultery is wrong. Yet 77 percent of marriages involve at least one adultery.” This alarming fact in our society today is bringing many to the wide-path of destruction. Quite simply put, it is choosing death over life.

Edward Mrkvicka’s true desire is two-fold, first for all those that may be contemplating adultery to know the absolute truth of God’s Word and the dire consequences and for those that are in an adulterous affair or have been in the past that they would also realize the devastating consequences and that the truth would bring true repentance in their life. Lastly, Mrkvicka’s desire is that all would receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Again, the author does not give his opinion, but God’s view and His Holy Word. This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.

This subject is not an easy subject to be discussed, nor is it very popular, but with so many on the path to destruction in our society it is a must read for anyone entangled in or contemplating adultery. This fascinating and well-written book exposes the truth and deception in the sin of adultery and brings forth light to the subject. Thankfully, the author ends that there is hope and states, “God can save us” (p.11). For there is one hope, and that one hope is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Come, read, know the truth and be set free.

10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0

Don’t Forget Daddy by Theresa Franklin is a delightful book to read to any young child experiencing change in the family dynamics whether it is through divorce, remarriage or the death of a parent, especially in respect to loss of a father.

Author Theresa Franklin, writes with heartfelt compassion by addressing these delicate subjects in a creative way that will help identify any feelings that a child may be holding on to in their emotions. By opening up the lines of communication, this book will allow a child going through similar circumstances to be able to share their feelings. This book offers wonderful solutions to any young child on how to cope with the change in the family.

The short story opens with Ashley, a young child, sitting and conversing with a man who has become mommy’s friend. She likes him, but does not know how to feel about him because she doesn’t want to forget her daddy. With colorful illustrations and an easy to read dialogue your child will be able to understand this book as Ashley accepts her new daddy, and her new life with wonderful excitement. We find out through the book that change is okay and can be a good thing for all the parties involved.

With the divorce rate being close to 50 percent these days, many young children have to adapt to the loss of a parent and/or a new stepparent. Change is not easy, especially when you don’t understand why it is happening. To a child this can be devastating and as parents it is imperative that these issues are addressed along with any feelings a child might have towards the change in the family dynamics. This book will help you do just that in a loving and compassionate way.

Don’t forget Daddy is also a recommended book for parents or physiologists that want to open the dialogue between parent and child. This book can be used as a tool for parents or professionals to address a child’s feelings whatever they may be towards the change in the family dynamics. It would be a perfect book for the mother who is remarrying with young children. I read it to my 6 year old daughter and all she could say was, “Again, again!” She loved it and I look forward to more books from this talented author that address issues with children and their feelings!

David Hart is one of NASA’s brightest and best. Brilliant, ambitious, and driven would describe this young NASA “superstar” physicist. David, being the perfect fit for a Top Secret Classified Military project dubbed Project 13-03, was up for the challenges to come.

The highly classified position topped the list as one of NASA’s Top Classified Military projects. The task set before the team, assembled and headed by 28-year NASA veteran, Jesse Black, was to develop something man has only dreamed of. New dimensions of uncharted technology, that would allow human beings to travel through time. David would play a major role on the management team of this highly esteemed project, as David was about to embark on a mission of a lifetime!

After becoming fully engulfed in the project, the team realized something-Houston, we’ve got a problem- who would be the first person to travel back in time? The problem was so simple; if it had been the proverbial snake it would have bitten them. This insurmountable task turned Project 13-03 into one of NASA’s biggest possible blunders. This project, now almost complete at a hefty price tag of 500 million, the huge 17 ton Hercules and the Catapult which would make time travel possible was complete, except that there was no one to operate this huge piece of man-made technology.

Soon, the project was tagged “Project Monkey-Business”, as monkeys were the only available intelligent being to send into the black hole of time travel and to operate the capsule for a safe return. Yet David’s expectations were higher than that. David’s drive, ambition and desires demanded more.

Let Author, Tom Thiele, transport you back in time with this inspiring and captivating technological, sci-fi adventure of a lifetime! Be prepared to not be able to put this book down, as the author, reveals the ‘discovery in the desert’, something truly remarkable and life changing. This novel is an urgent, must read for our time. A prophetic call to the people and nations, and all nations around the world to Wake Up!

Intriguing, riveting and engaging, this novel is explosive and bold. Author, Tom Thiele will take you on an adventure of a lifetime that will rock your soul and stir you OUT of complacency. Be advised, this novel, will transform your life in the process. As David finds out, he is chosen for a very special, specific task that ‘will shake the nations’.

Book Trailers & Book Trailer Marketing

A great book trailer is an important part of marketing books. The movie industry has used movie trailers for years and with great success. Today authors are using book trailers as a powerful marketing tool to promote and market thier books.

The Art Of Book Promotions

Is there a art to promoting books. Yes and it starts with gaining valuable information and following proven marketing techniques. Many times authors just jump into the self promoting river and go for it, usually following what other authors are doing. Other times authors fall into the authors site craze and start joining sites where other authors are all trying to sell their books at. While this may be fun and you might meet some great people online, rarely does it prove to be successful.

Spend sometime online learning, studying and getting information about book promotions. Learn the art of what's working and find out what's not working before you jump into it the self promotions river.

Remember, you didn't write your book overnight and even the editing was a process. Apply that also to book promotions. Do your homework first, get a feel for the market and find out what's best for you as a author and your book. Then, go for it. And above all, make sure that you have your own authors site or blog that showcases you as author, your books and all the right information.

Helping Authors To Promote Their Books

The Art Of Book Promotions

Promoting your books takes on a whole new world once you have published. Many authors attempt to self promote and market their books which can with lots of hard work prove to be successful. If that's you, I highly recommend that you spend some time on-line doing your homework before you start that process. At the very least, you will avoid some pitfalls while gaining lots of information. Plan on investing at least a full week educating yourself before you jump into the process.

However, many authors just don't have 5 to 6 hours each day to spend sitting at their computer online registering and joining sites and communities to attempt to create book buzz. Other times authors spend endless hours joining communities and social networks marketing their books and grow tired of the results only to end up feeling defeated.

If you are in the above frame of mind, contact Smitty at either Author Media Blogs and Book Marketing or Christian Book Marketing.

He is incredibly detailed, professional, and caring. My name, book, and trailer have appeared on hundreds of sites and the exposure has been unbelievable. As a direct result of his tremendous efforts, Flaherty's Crossing has become one of the hottest and most ordered items at Champagne Books.

I truly can't recommend anyone more highly.
