    gifted$1: Love your name! I feel the same way with my writing. Congratulations on all your success! -
    THE GIFT: Hi gifted$1:

    Thanks and congrats on your book and all of your endeavors. It is wonderful to be able to share the gift that God has bestowed. Take care and continue in "Greatness"! ~ THE GIFT -
    Ted T: Hi TG :)

    I have to agree with Red's comment on July 14. Your books are way over priced. You're asking for $1.00 per page for a book the buyer can't preview.

    It's another example of why SP/POD has a bad name.

    Yes, I'm self-published and have five titles on Amazon, B&N and other venues with a sixth due out by summer's end. Buyers can look inside before they order.

    The Kindle edition of my novel "Deathmaker" sells for $4.95 and it is 460 pages.

    As James Patterson says about his novels, "It's a good book by the way.

    THE GIFT: Hi Ted T:

    Thanks for your thoughts, but you are wrong... on Amazon the book is shown with some illustrations and the text. Although, everyone has a right to their opinion, I chose to believe those who appreciate the book have no problem in purchasing it. I leave all in God's hands for it is he who has purposed my life with his "Greatness". It will always be what he has ordained and in that I rest assured. All the best to you, always.. THE GIFT -


THE GIFT: My creations are an investment in the potential and destinies of others... I see "Greatness" in you... You're A Star! T.G.


THE GIFT: I'm known to the only person who truly matters... God! People amaze me, that's why I stay to myself and write about them. It's pretty petty to talk about cost when in life you have been wasting lots on just about everything that is worth nothing, but oh yeah some other person's name and making them famous. Who are those who are complaining about cost really kidding? It's simple don't buy what you don't want and leave it at that. I'm still blessed and successful no matter what, because God is my source. Blessings to you all... THE GIFT


THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: As time goes on, everything comes down in pricing, as will my books. I am working to get them in the local bookstores and brand stores, so pricing will differ. I thank you for your support and appreciate your candor. I know how you feel, I'm a bargain shopper myself. Blessings, THE GIFT


THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: Smiles, how much does a movie cost and do you haggle with any other prices? How about all those designer names you don't write in to protest for their outrageous pricing. It doesn't matter, if you support the artist of the creative works no price is to steep to be a part of their success. All who understand that will purchase. I'm not sweating prices. I'm making "International Best Sellers". I hope you see what really matters... Thanks for you thoughts, THE GIFT
    DIS-illusioned: Bless your heart, GIFT, but I haven't been to the cinema/theater in years--for the reason you allude. I wait till the movie comes out--2 years later--on TNT. :)
    Based on your reasoning, why don't you just make it an even...$50, or $100--no price being too high for quality.
    From my heart, I support you, GIFT, I really do. :) -


THE GIFT: @redrider6612: Thanks for your insight, but in life dear... everything will have a price tag that someone won't agree with. If you like the content then purchase the product to support the creator. Be a blessing to the gifts that God has sent into the world... Simple enough huh... Smiles... T.G.
    redrider6612: In order to find out if I like the content, I have to purchase the book. Any way you look at it, $25 for a 24 page children's brook from an unknown author is outrageous. PA's only concern is soaking your family members. Why would anyone lay out that much if they know they can wait a month or two and get it for cheap? Seriously, if you truly want to see more quantity sold, go with a POD that will allow you to set your book price at a reasonable level. -
    Anisa-: But, Red, God sent it ... That's pretty amazing, no? -
    THE GIFT: @redrider6612: It's pretty simple you pay for what you want. If you want it buy it at any price as you do with anything in your life. You shove out money for worthless, mindless trash at any point in time. If investing in destiny and potential to others lives and yours is too costly than that's your personal choice. I'm not writing to people who are not looking for anything, but a way to be successful and cultivate that throughout their lives. Those who God sent me to will be blessed. It's all in His hands and I'm happy that it's all been handled. Thanks for your thoughts. THE GIFT -
    THE GIFT: @Anisa-: I must incorporate God in all that I do, because I was created to please Him not any man. So therefore, the gifts that He has instilled within me He has already purposed to be successful and to reach those to whom He has ordained to understand their purpose and to want to see that it becomes reality in their lives. Insight is free, at some point in life you will have to count the cost... So, how much is finding your destiny and place in this world worth to you or anyone? Only you can answer that and make the right choices for your life. Thanks for your thoughts and continue in "Greatness" THE GIFT -


THE GIFT: Would you like to be a part of the book "I'M A STAR!"? If so, let me know and I will send you the details on how you can be a part of my book cover. All the best to everyone... THE GIFT


THE GIFT: To all: We pay any amount of money for things we don't need, never will use and/or to keep up with the Jones, but when it comes to our well-being and purpose we're not going to invest much in that. That's too bad. The price of "Destiny Right Now" is worth its weight in gold. Don't put a price on success... just always capitalize on every opportunity to make it happen in your lifetime... T.G. May you all have uncommon success in all of your endeavors. THE GIFT
    DIS-illusioned: "We pay any amount of money for things we don't need, never will use and/or to keep up with the Jones"
    Huh, I don't!
    Make that book $9.99, GIFT, and we'll talk about it. :) -


THE GIFT: @nor84: Thanks for the info. Yes, it's pricey, but well worth it. I'm making a difference in this world. Pricing should level out soon, so look for it to be discounted somewhere soon. I'll let you know if I find lower pricing. Thanks for caring. Continue in "Greatness" Blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT


THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: Again, I have no say over the book's cost. I want to do much more than build castles, I want to make a difference in the lives of all that I can. These 4 books are just steps to empowering our children, as well as parents to dream and achieve their God-given potential. Don't ever stop until you make your fairytale life come true. I know, I'm not going too. Just watch me soar and watch my smoke. The sky is so radiant when you're doing what God created you to do... Be a blessing to all... Thanks for your insight. Continue to flow in your purpose... "Greatness" be unto you, blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT


THE GIFT: @redrider6612: I have no say over the cost of the book. The publisher is trying to recoup some cost and I'm sure it will be available at a discounted price shortly, With that being said, it is a wonderfully hand illustrated colorful sleepy time story book, that children, as well as parents will cherish forever. I wanted to make an impression and I know that it will. Thanks for your thoughts. Blessings & smiles... Continue in "Greatness"
    redrider6612: Publish America is notorious for inflated book prices. There are PODs out there who allow the author to set the price. Before choosing a POD, check out Preditors & Editors, and research their name with "scam" added to their name to find out if they are reputable. Best wishes to you. -


THE GIFT: I am happy to announce that my 1st Children's Book,"Laugh A Little" is now in print!

You can find it at PublishAmerica's Bookstore Online. Thank you very much to all those who have given their support and time reviewing my work. It's been a pleasure encountering all of you... Blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT
    DIS-illusioned: I know you want to build that castle on the moon before Dec. 21, GIFT, but...come on! :) -
    nor84: We aren't supposed to publish links on the forum. Boy, $24.95 for a children's book? Or for that matter any fiction book? -


THE GIFT: I've given away over 430 copies of my book, "Forte' of... The Artesian Well", as a pre-release gift to those who were fortunate enough to download it, before it was published.


THE GIFT: "Traveling On a Train", "Laugh A Little", "Tie A Ribbon" and "Ginger The Lizard", from the book, "Simple & Fun" will be in print shortly.
