I do consulting and give publishing help to other writers I charge $100 for an hour consultation where we set up the formatting of your book and get you started on the self-publishing journey. Here are several things to do ahead of time and then we can spend 40 minutes on zoom to finish setting up. You can share your screen and I can walk you through it. Please read through this whole list and do as much as you can ahead of time. Once you have done the "do before our call" things we can set up a call. Publishing Account Set Up 1a. DO BEFORE OUR CALL: Go to https://kdpreports.amazon.com and set up your account (just open it nothing more unless you want to look around. All you need to do is enter your email and password for Amazon. It is the same one you use to buy things on Amazon (all Amazon related accounts - see below also use the same email and password combination. They will probably send you an email that you have to confirm that it is you but it is pretty straightforward. This is your publishing account. 1b. ON OUR CALL: We will set up how you get paid. Make sure you have the bank account number where you want your royalties deposited. Make sure you have your social Security Number or whatever number the US government needs to know about taxes. TITLE and ISBN 2a. DB: Make sure you know the exact title and subtitle you want. Think about your ISBN number and what you want. Do you have the one from a store or program?, Do you want to use Amazon's free one? Do you want to use another one. This has to be decided before our call. Message me if there are any questions. The advantage of using your own (paid for or from a publishing house) ISBN number is that you can go on to publish on other platforms but that is only an advantage if you think you will. Otherwise the free one is good. 2b. OOC: we need this number to proceed. Once the title has been associated with an ISBN number it CAN NOT be changed. KEY WORDS 3a. DB: Think about what key words and 3 book categories you want your book in. 3b. Add keywords and book categories. BASIC BOOK FORMATTING 4a. DO BEFORE: Formating the book. Decide what size you want your book to be. 9x6 is a common size. Look at your bookshelf and see what you like and what you want. The advantage of using a standard size (there are 10-15 standard sizes) is what markets your book can go into. Meaning if you have an odd custom size you will not have as big a market place. 4b. ON OUR CALL or BEFORE: Format your book in WORD to the size you want it. The page size is the finished size with .8-1 inch margins., full justification and a2-3 space tab for indenting paragraphs. If you can do the table of contents, page numbers, etc before our call that is great otherwise I can walk you through it. BASIC COVER DESIGN 5a. DB: Cover design - decide what you want on the cover have any good quality photos you plan to use in jpg format or if you or someone else has designed the cover have the front cover in jpg format and the entire cover in a PDF file. In order to do the pdf file you need to know the book size. We can play with this as we go and you can make changes and adjustments in the future. Decide what you want on the back cover (back cover copy) and what colors you want. 5b. OOC Cover: design the cover in the account with Amazon's software. This can be a mock up that can be changed in the future. PDF BOOK FILES for PRINT BOOK 6. OOC: Upload the pdf book file for the print book and look through it on Amazon's program, which is very cool. Download the proof copy for the print book. (Do you know how to make a pdf from a WORD document? We will do this before uploading. WORD FILES for eBook 7. OOC: Upload the WORD book file for the eBook and look through it on Amazon's program. It is like reading it on a kindle device. ADUSTMENTS 8. OOC: make any changes and adjustments that we need and make sure you know how to make changes and adjustments. It is unlikely that everything will go smoothly but this is the process. I hope by the end of the 40 minutes that you will know everything you need. PRICE 9a. DB: Price: decide what price you want your book to be. Amazon will tell us what the lowest price can be. you decide the retail price. Amazon will tell you how much it costs to print and what your royalties per book will be. eBook should be between $2.99 - $9.99 Look at comparables for ideas. PROOF COPY 9b. OOC: we can order a proof copy of the print book. (Again this always takes longer but under ideal circumstances we may be able to do this. This cost of the printed proof copy (which looks just like the regular final book but with a line across it that says not for resale) should cost $5-10 that you can buy through your Amazon account. (This is the only cost in the entire process.) AUTHOR'S PAGE
10. Once the ebook or print book or if you are already published in another book, you can set up your author's page at https://author.amazon.com Look at and follow my page at https://amzn.to/49R671e Think about what pictures, bio information etc that you want to put on your author's page. (This is also free of charge.) REVIEWER'S PROFILE 11. Also you can see my buyer / review profile here and make sure your own is set up with the title of your book and bio. This makes it so everytime you review a book or product your name and book title shows up on the review. https://amzn.to/3VfE6fh This you can do anytime because anyone who buys and reviews things on Amazon can do this. 12. Anyone can also set up an affiliate account where when someone buys a book from your link on social media or your website, etc. you get a tiny commision. https://affiliate-program.amazon.com MARKETING 13. Have different size bios and blurbs about the book with a link to Amazon. 14. Consider a free eBook day to publicize on social media. 15. Consider book blogs where bloggers or podcasters do book reviews and or interviews with the author. Write out 5-10 questions that you would like to answer about your book, book writing process or reading. Write out the questions and answers. 16. Talk to your local library, used bookstores and new bookstores about whether they carry or have a local authors section.

Forward by Kimberly Burnham Curating this collection of poetry has been an interesting experience. The poems and the sentiments expressed are both beautiful and profound. What is most interesting perhaps is that the poems have come from all over the world in various forms. Poets everywhere are truly rooting for the survival of people on earth. Some are optimistic while others see the dark underbelly of war and conflict more acutely. Some poets take sides and have a view of how things should be, while others want everyone who is good or innocent to win, to survive, and to love. As we write these poems, there is much need for healing and peace in our world. We hope that these words bring peace and healing to you and your community. Reach out to the poets, to your friends and family. Connect and listen. Try to understand what people who are vastly different from yourself are trying to say. We need everyone’s voice, just as we need everyone’s understanding and compassion.

‘Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra’ is the most famous Tamarian allegory or phrase. It can be translated into Judeo-Tamarian as ‘Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Luther King Jr. marching from Selma to Montgomery.’ Both phrases portray friends from different backgrounds working together to overcome a common problem or challenge. In the Star Trek Universe, the Tamarians speak an allegorical language, which needs context or the backstory to make the meaning clear. Like Yiddish or Judeo-German, which grew out of contact between Hebrew speakers and Germans, Judeo-Tamarian is a new language that has grown from the first interactions between Tamarians and Jews. It breathes new life and meaning into history and is an original way of looking at the old. For Jewish Trekkies: I see you. You are speak my language. I am a longtime Star Trek fan, a convert to Judaism and I geek out on linguistics. For Non-Trekkies or Non-Star Trek fans: There are a few things you will want to know before I tell this story. ▲ Tamarian is a constructed language (conlang) created for the Star Trek or Paramount franchise by Joe Menosky. An allegorical language, it requires knowledge of the story behind the words be understand. Tamarians are a race of people who live on the planet Tama in the Star Trek universe. ▲ Despite it being a constructed language, linguists and academics study Tamarian. Some of those real people are quoted in this book. ▲ The Universal Translator is technology from the Star Trek universe that can translate from any language in the universe into English. It translates word for word, so idioms or Tamarian (a story-based language) are difficult to understand, even if you have a translation of the words. ▲ Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Star ship Enterprise featured in Star Trek the Next Generation first comes in contact with the Tamarians in the famous Darmok episode. ▲ Dathon is the first Tamarian that Captain Picard comes in contact with and together they fight the beast on another planet, El Adrel. ▲ Artok is a Tamarian or a being from Tama, who is first introduced in this story. For Non-Jews: Here are ideas that come up in this story. ▲ Wherever Jews go in the world they communicate with people who speak different languages and sometimes a third language develops. These new languages are often called Judeo-______. For example, when the Jews started moving to Spain in 70 C.E. after the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem, they came in contact with Spaniards and Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) developed. Yiddish could be described as Judeo-German. These are real languages, currently spoken by humans on earth. ▲ Judeo-Tamarian, like Tamarian, is a constructed language from the mind of the author. ▲ The idea that all Jews in history were at Mount Sinai (in Egypt) for the giving of the Torah, including the 10 Commandments is a real myth that Jews talk about. ▲ Many phrases in Judeo-Tamarian are taken from stories in the Hebrew Bible (Torah, also called the Old Testament). Join Artok, a being from the planet Tama and an earth human Jewish convert, named Kimberly, at the foot of Mount Sinai just before the giving of the Torah, on an adventure through Jewish history including the meaning of Heschel and King and how people from completely different cultures learn from each other about love, inspiration, communication, and how to live better lives. The famous Tamarian metaphor, ‘Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra’ is meaningless without context or the background story. This is just one of the many Tamarian metaphors that have been translated into Judeo-Tamarian like ‘Rebekah with the pitcher at the well.’ Learning a new language can teach us about our own language, culture, and belief systems. You don’t have to be Jewish or a Star Trek fan to enjoy Heschel and King Marching to Montgomery, A Jewish Guide to Judeo-Tamarian Imagery. https://amzn.to/3uulf5l In the Star Trek universe, because of it’s allegorical basis, Tamarian eludes the Universal Translator technology, which translates the phrases word for word but without the story behind the names of places and people, the language is incomprehensible. Based on their shared history and mythology, when Tamarians say “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra“, they all know that means “cooperation, communication, or friendship as a result of shared struggle, and working together.” “A myth always refers to events alleged to have taken place long ago. But what gives the myth an operational value is that the specific pattern described is timeless; it explains the present and the past as well as the future.” ~ Claude Levi-Strauss, anthropologist. Note: This book has no connection to Star Trek or Paramount. Joe Menosky originally invented the Tamarian language of allusions and metaphors for the Star Trek franchise. Like all languages, Tamarian has changed over time in response to new ideas, contact with new cultures, and technologies. Judeo-Tamarian developed from contact between the children of Tama and the children of Israel.

Love Walking Among Blossoms, an excerpt “What is the Tamarian (allegorical Star Trek language) way of expressing love?” I asked Artok in the early afternoon as we waited and shared some bread, goat’s milk, and some honey that one of the Tamarians had found. “We have many ways of expressing love but what is even more interesting is the kinds of love in the Torah. It is like the Inuit word for snow. Inuits have many words for snow. Jews are highly attuned to love, in its many forms.” “In Judeo-Tamarian we describe love that is difficult to give as, ‘Joseph climbing out of the pit.’ (Genesis 37: 23-24). It is a completely different kind of love than, ‘Abraham with knife in hand.’ This could be translated into English as the love a parent has for their child. In Judeo-Tamarian a synonym would be ‘Hannah silently praying at the temple.’ (1 Sam.1:12-13). Like many synonyms there are slight differences between the love for a child that may die and the love for a child you hope to be born and live but both are the love of a child.” There are also different kinds of romantic love in Judeo-Tamarian. There is costly, risky, dangerous, even sinful love as in, ‘Samson and Delilah’ (Judges 16:4-8) or ‘David and Bathsheba’ (2 Samuel 11–12). It can also be said as in Proverbs 9:17 ‘Stolen waters are sweet.’ Artok was on a roll as he explained all the different ways to translate love. “Love where there is a power differential, Song of Songs 4:8, ‘the captured heart.’” Artok continued, “True love, what I think of as true love is translated either, ‘Isaac and Rebekah dancing in Beersheba’ (Gen. 24:67) or ‘Jacob for Rachel tending the fields of Laban’ (Gen. 29:20). This is the kind of love I have with my wife,” said Artok. “I would do anything for her, but she would never ask me to do something harmful to myself or others. In Tamarian, we say this, ‘Ameno and Delet walking among spring blossoms.’” “I have that kind of love, too,” I told Artok. “It is fiery and fierce, not always easy but continuously wonderful.” “I understand,” said Artok, “In the Torah there are so many different kinds of love that I have an assistant whose whole job is to read through the Torah and find all the different kinds of love that are shown. He is translating them first into English and then looking for a Tamarian phrase to do each one justice.” The Sunflower Diaries

"Nature is inspiring by habit — spontaneous not rehearsed, sometimes demure, sometimes pretentious," said award-winning photographer, Faith Bemiss, of Sedalia. "I often find that it provides enough poetry, music, drama and soul-healing to last many lifetimes — being able to capture this art with my camera is, without question, a quest I feel I was born with." http://www.newstribune.com/news/features/story/2019/jun/02/header-on-displayheadline-meet-award-winning-photographer-faith-bemiss/781287/
The Poetry Posse 2019
The Year of the Poet project was the brain-child of Jamie Bond and William S. Peters, Sr. The original vision was to commit themselves to writing and publishing a book a month for the year of 2014. In further discussion the vision expanded to include the other Gifted & Talented Writers you see below. The objective is to bring the Poetry Community together with the various cross demographic representations found in Gender, Religion, Geography, Culture and Ethnicity. We hope you enjoy the myriad of perspectives represented here. Thank You, Inner Child Press International. Gail Weston Shazor. This is a creative promise ~ my pen will speak to and for the world. Enamored with letters and respectful of their power, I have been writing for most of my life. A mother, daughter, sister and grandmother I give what I have been given, greatfilledly.

I'm a project life philanthropist, I speak about the non ethical treatment of poor ghetto people. Why? My family was their equal, my great grandmother and great grandfather was poor, my grandmother and grandfather, my mother and father, poverty to my family was a sequel, a traditional Inheritance of the subliminal. I paid attention to the decades of regression, i tried to make change, but when I came to the fork in the road and looked at the signs that read wrong < > right, I chose the left, the wrong direction, because of street life interactions a lot around me met death or incarceration. I failed myself and others. I regret my decisions, I can't reincarnate dead men, but I can give written visions in laymens. I'm back at that fork in the road, instead of it saying wrong or right, I changed it, now it says dead men < > life.

Sometimes seeing well is not only about seeing clearly but seeing fast. Taking in the light waves bouncing off the ball, the court, the room, the people, the books, the walls all around you. Light is constantly dancing, reflecting, jumping off the world around you, what you see depends on how well you can take in the information and process it.
When you open your eyes or turn your head, you see the light that is bouncing off of the ball, your teammates, your opponents, the crowd, and everything around you. The light has already left the object. For the last split second that light has been travelling towards you or away from the object at literally the speed of light or slightly less than 186,282 miles per second. The time between turning your head or opening your eyes and perceiving the object or the motion is the time it takes for your eyes to collect the light, send the information to your brain, and for your brain to understand what you are seeing. The light zips from the object to the cornea or outer layer of the eye, through the eye to the retina at the back of the eye. The retina converts these light waves into chemical signals that travel along the optic nerves, through the optic chiasm under the biological clock towards the occipital lobe or visual cortex in the back of the brain. Some of the information zips over to the amygdala, which overlays emotional information. Have you seen this object or person before? Do you like or fear them? How do you feel about what you are seeing? The occipital lobe interprets the shapes, textures and colors to mean a certain thing, a baseball, a coach, an injured opponent favoring their right side, an excited fan. And then you truly "see." This book is about speeding up the time it takes your eyes to translate the light energy (colors, shapes, textures, etc) into chemical information travelling along the nerves towards the visual cortex (occipital lobe) at the back of the head. It is about developing the ability to understand and perceive what you are seeing more quickly. And finally it is about taking that visual information and sending it to your body, your hands and feet faster so that you can respond to what you see in a more successful way. Blinking Is Like Weight Training for the Eye When you lift weights you are making the movement of your arms and legs more difficult in the hope that the muscles will get stronger so that when you are on the field or court those muscles will be stronger and help you run faster or jump higher. We can do a similar thing with the eyes by blinking. When you blink you briefly shut off visual information from your brain for the period of time that your eyes are closed. You are making it more difficult to see, especially to see things or people that are moving while your eyes are closed. This trains the brain to grab the information more quickly when your eyes are open. In a sense the brain is learning that it doesn't have 24/7 access to the visual information it needs to respond to the world around it and so it better pay attention to the information when it can see. The two following exercises are based on the ideas that came out of Nike when they created a pair of goggles that blink for you. These goggles are used by professional athletes during practice to speed up reaction time. The frequency and length of time the shutters are closed and open are adjustable in a way that simply blinking can't be adjusted but blinking is the place to start for free. One way to use this book is to learn one new exercise each day for a month. Once you have learned all the exercises, you can pick and choose the ones that seem to work best for you and only do those exercises on a regular basis. Another way to use this information is to learn three or four exercises and repeat those exercises each day for a week or a month and then move on to three or four new exercises. Each exercise takes one to twenty minutes so you can also decide how much time you want to devote to developing your ability to see faster and respond more quickly. Counting Consciously While Blinking Try this. Start blinking your eyes as you look around. If you simply blink for a minute or so, your brain gets bored and doesn't pay attention so the key is what you pay attention to as you blink. As you blink look around and ask yourself questions. What do you see that is red? What do you see that is square? How many shoes can you count? Counting sets up a rhythm. One, two, three ... How many stairs do you see? How many people? By practicing this blinking while counting, you send a message to the brain about what is important. How many players are there? How many of your opponents are there? What are the names of your teammates? How many teammates can you see? This blinking exercise can also be done as you and the other players move around the field or court. Spend a few minutes practicing this blinking. Many people report that the room or space seems brighter after blinking for a minute or so. This is because the eyes are taking in light more quickly and easily when you stop blinking. Paying Attention to Shapes and Textures While Blinking In this exercise the focus is on the shape of things while you are blinking. Start blinking your eyes as you look around. Notice all the things that are round or square. Notice all the things that are soft or fuzzy. Notice the texture difference between shoes and clothes. Notice the size difference between a baseball and a basketball. Get a sense as you blink about how something would feel it you touched it. Continue blinking and touch some of the items you have been paying attention to. Feel the ridges on a basketball, the seams on a soccer ball, the leather of a baseball, the pointy end of a football. You are taking in information visually and also through your hands. This helps with seeing faster but also helps with hand-eye coordination. —an excerpt from 30 Ways to See Faster & Play Stronger, A Month of Vision Strategies for Athletes and Successful People by Kimberly Burnham
From a study on the genetic structure of circumpolar populations of Alaska, Siberia, and the Aleutian Archipelago from 1977 to present comes this research, "DNA fingerprints, and nonrecombining Y-chromosome markers, this research demonstrated the close genetic affinities among the Siberian and the Native American indigenous groups. A total of 11 inhabited islands from the Aleutian Archipelago were sampled and based on mtDNA sequences was shown to cluster tightly with Siberian Eskimo and Chukchi populations. Evidence of genetic drift through founder effect was demonstrated on Bering Island, where the D2 haplotype was fixed. Genetic discontinuity based on mtDNA was shown through SAMOVA between Kamchatkan and Aleut populations. An intimate relationship between geography and genetics through Mantel tests was observed for both Siberia and the Aleutian Islands. The genetic structure of the populations of the Aleutian Archipelago most closely approximates the isolation-by-distance model." - Crawford, M. H. (2007). "Genetic structure of circumpolar populations: a synthesis." Am J Hum Biol 19(2): 203-217.
May's volume of The Year of the Poet is here. The theme is Asian indigenous languages which normally I always write on about the theme in my poetry but this month I messed up and wrote on next months theme which focuses on the indigenous languages of the circumpolar people. Enjoy.
The Poetry Posse 2019
The Year of the Poet project was the brain-child of Jamie Bond and William S. Peters, Sr. The original vision was to commit themselves to writing and publishing a book a month for the year of 2014. In further discussion the vision expanded to include the other Gifted & Talented Writers you see below. The objective is to bring the Poetry Community together with the various cross demographic representations found in Gender, Religion, Geography, Culture and Ethnicity. We hope you enjoy the myriad of perspectives represented here. Thank You, Inner Child Press International. Gail Weston Shazor. This is a creative promise ~ my pen will speak to and for the world.

I'm a project life philanthropist, I speak about the non ethical treatment of poor ghetto people. Why? My family was their equal, my great grandmother and great grandfather was poor, my grandmother and grandfather, my mother and father, poverty to my family was a sequel, a traditional Inheritance of the subliminal. I paid attention to the decades of regression, i tried to make change, but when I came to the fork in the road and looked at the signs that read wrong < > right, I chose the left, the wrong direction, because of street life interactions a lot around me met death or incarceration. I failed myself and others. I regret my decisions, I can't reincarnate dead men, but I can give written visions in laymens. I'm back at that fork in the road, instead of it saying wrong or right, I changed it, now it says dead men < > life.

A 2017 study examined the relationship between personal characteristics and attendance, engagement, sleep, and mood outcomes of persons with dementia participating in group activities. "The purpose of this study is to examine which persons with dementia benefit most from group interventions. Sixty-nine persons with dementia were observed by research and therapeutic recreation staff during 10 types of group activities (reading aloud with discussion, choral-singing, baking, creative storytelling, brain games, active games, exercise, reminiscence poetry, holiday newsletter, and holiday discussions) on multiple outcomes (attendance duration, sleep, engagement, active participation, attitude, and positive mood).
Many of the personal characteristics were significantly correlated with the outcomes. Cognitive function was the most consistent predictor of all outcomes. Personal characteristics, particularly cognitive function, can predict the responses of persons with dementia during group activities." - Cohen-Mansfield, J. (2017).

As a 28-year-old photographer, Kimberly Burnham appreciated beauty. Then an ophthalmologist diagnosed her with a genetic eye condition saying, "Consider life, if you become blind." She discovered a healing path with insight, magnificence, and vision. Today, 33 years later, a poet and neurosciences expert with a PhD in Integrative Medicine, Kimberly's life mission is to change the global face of brain health.

Allen or Jackie Allen, grew up in the Cumberland Mountains of Appalachia. As the next eldest daughter of a coal miner father and a stay at home mother, she was the first in her family to attend and graduate from college. Her siblings, in their own right, are accomplished, though she is the only one, to date, that has discovered the gift of writing. Graduating from Radford University, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Early Education, she taught in both public and private schools. For over a decade she taught private art classes to children both in her home and at a local Art and Framing Shop where she also sold her original soft sculptured Victorian dolls and original christening gowns. She resides in northern Virginia with her husband, taking much needed get-aways to their mountain home near the Blue Ridge Mountains, a place that evokes memories of days spent growing up in the Appalachian Mountains. A lover of hats, she has worn many. Following marriage to her college sweetheart, and as wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, tutor, artist, writer, poet and crafter, she is a lover of art and antiques, surrounding herself, always, with books, seeking to learn more. In 2015 she authored Looking for Rainbows, Poetry, Prose and Art, and in 2017, Dark Side of the Moon. Both books of mostly narrative poetry were published by Inner Child Press and were edited by hulya n. yilmaz. http://www.innerchildpress.com/jackie-davis-allen.php jackiedavisallen.com Teresa E.

With specific regard to her creative writings, the author describes herself as being torn in her passion for engaging in two literary genres: Poetry and Drama. A similar dichotomy from within is reflected on Segiet’s own words about her true nature: She likes to look at the clouds, but she keeps both of her feet set firmly on the ground. The author describes her worldview as being in harmony with that of Arthur Schopenhauer: "Ordinary people merely think how they shall 'spend' their time; a man of talent tries to 'use' it".
