Welcome to Songdove Books Newsletter: August 2014
A Year in Prayer With Jesus - Ms Marilynn Dawson
Practical Thoughts on Becoming an Author - Marilynn Dawson

Welcome to all our new subscribers!  It's great to have you with us! Hard to believe that summer is already over for some and almost over for others.  It's been a busy summer around Songdove Books, particularly the month of August!  If you follow me on my author page on Facebook, you'll probably remember all the excited posts about the latest event as it's happened.  I'll try to recapture the action for everyone just in case there are newsletter subscribers who don't follow my social network feeds.  Can't have anyone left out now!


The Big Weekend is Almost Upon Us!

As previously announced in July's newsletter, the official launch date for "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" is the September Labour Day Long Weekend!

"A Year in Prayer With Jesus" is currently hitting online retailer shelves as we speak, and I'll share the list as it exists, in a moment.

To celebrate, the entire month of August has had two events going on.  The first have been ebook giveaways for all 10 current titles under the Songdove Books imprint!  Each giveaway lasts three days and three winners are chosen at the end of each draw.  As of now, there is one giveaway wrapping up tonight, and another occurring from August 28th to August 30th.  When August 30th arrives, A 4 day and a 7 day (hopefully, it's currently "pending") giveaway will commence for "A Year in Prayer With Jesus"!  4 winners and 7 winners will be chosen respectively at two different websites, for a total of 11 recipients of the brand new book.

URL's to these giveaways are up and clickable at:  http://songdove.fa-ct.com/wordpress-mu/songdovemusings/calendar-3/

The second event going on all month has been a month-long sale taking place at three locations online where paperback versions of my books are sold.  For the entire month of August, buyers have been able to pick up paperback copies of my books for 15% off the usual retail price using the following codes at checkout for the following sites:

YTUWZNRV 15% https://www.createspace.com/
YPWJ-PROMO 15% http://songdovebooks.storenvy.com
YPWJ-PROMO 15% http://songdove.fa-ct.com/wordpress-mu/songdovemusings/new-christian-books/

This sale only has a few days left, as it ends August 31st.  So if you were hoping to get any deals on my books before September kicks into gear, now's the time to jump!

It is a dream of mine to have 365 people purchase "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" in paperback, PDF, epub, or mobi, and each of these people begin "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" on 365 consequative dates!  For those prayer prompts where people groups, language families, nations and missions organizations are presented, this dream would have them covered by someone every single day for an entire year!  This includes those nations and people groups in current conflict zones as of the time of this announcement.

"A Year in Prayer With Jesus" is available for $25.50 in paperback, and $9.99 in its various ebook formats.  The digital formats are all available on pre-order with delivery taking place August 30th, the beginning of the Long Weekend Launch.  As promised, here is the current list of places where you can buy the Paperback or e-Book version of this book:

Wrap-up

 


Giveaways, Paperback Sale, Book Launch, New E-Course, Wow!

Yes, life certainly has been busy this month!

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

Life hasn't just been busy on the writing front, but this author who is also a computer technician, was at a tradeshow mid-month, for an entire week!  I've only been to a handful of much smaller events in the Okanagan, so I wasn't really sure what I'd be in for.  It turns out that my experiences setting up and manning my sister's craft table at Christmas craft fairs in years past came in quite handy for this show!  I was assisting a startup, and took the owner shopping for what we'd need for our tiny 6ftx2ft space that we were given as part of Epson's booth at Siggraph Vancouver 2014.  While I'm sure their own display must have cost $1000's to transport, register, set up, and take down, our tiny little bit of floor space only cost us maybe $300 to set up and take down.  But with that small amount of cash outlay, our corner of the Epson booth was literally non-stop for 2.5 days of the 3-day exhibition!  We had breather breaks on the Thursday morning, but then we got just as swamped as if it were earlier in the show.

But what made the entire trip worth it, was the sunset over the ocean that greeted me when we finally got back to our suites Thursday night! The picture above doesn't do it justice, but the sunset that evening was positively gorgeous!  Red/orange gradients over the sun as it set below the ocean's horizon were SO amazing!  The sight was incredibly calming as I stood there occasionally trying unsuccessfully to capture the view on camera.  This author grewup beside the ocean and hasn't seen it in many years!  Such an evening felt like a bittersweet send off, as Friday morning we would be heading home to the Okanagan again.  Truly a bittersweet experience. . . and yet calming and quieting all the same.

We need those quieting moments in our lives.  We need those calming moments.  Vancouver is a large city with crazy traffic and strange bus/metro systems.  Every evening the adventure would start all over again, how to pick the best route home from the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre.  Life can seem chaotic at times, crazy, an adventure just getting from point A to point B.  But in the midst of it all, God calls us away for a moment to be with Him.  He speaks peace into the hectic schedule, and for a moment, all is quiet.  After such a crazy week, that moment standing near the window of my suite overlooking the ocean was just what I needed.  I didn't want it to end.

How has God spoken peace into a hectic moment in your day?

Book Launch Celebration! “A Year in Prayer With Jesus” Aug 1st to Aug 30th

Anyone following this blog will be aware of the pre-launch virtual book tour that's been going on.  As a thank-you to each blogger hosting me and my next book on their site, I've been sharing features of either themselves, their blogs, or their books if they are authors as well.  Tomorrow is the second-to-last blog stop on tour, which means the overlap talked about in July's newsletter and on this blog begins TODAY!

Today is day one of the first three-day giveaway for the month of August.  http://ow.ly/zQB0p Every three days, the book being given away will change until we get to the end of the month.  On August 30th, one giveaway will end and two more will begin simultaneously at two different sites.

On Librarything.com, "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" will be offered as a giveaway for one full week!
On booklikes.com, "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" will be offered as a giveaway for the 4-day September Labour Day Long Weekend.  

Between the two sites, 11 people will get epub, mobi or PDF copies of this brand new book, for FREE!  

One of the reviewers of this book very much looks forward to engaging in it with her family for the coming year.  The paperback copy definitely has some heft to it, but the binding lets it flip nicely in your hand.  

In addition to the first giveaway starting up today, another form of celebration is also now in gear!  While the ebook versions are begin given away throughout the month of August, the paperbacks are not being left in the cold.  They get to celebrate by giving you a 15% discount at three different online retailers:

YTUWZNRV 15% discount code https://www.createspace.com/
YPWJ-PROMO 15% discount code http://songdovebooks.storenvy.com
YPWJ-PROMO 15% discount code http://songdove.fa-ct.com/wordpress-mu/songdovemusings/new-christian-books/

Visit each site, locate the book you wish to purchase, and enter the coupon code at checkout.

This 15% off sale will run from August 1st through to August 30th, which makes it a great time to buy these books as gifts for others.  The grad gift, "Mom's Little Black Book: Godly Advice for the High School Graduate" is a great book to send off to college with your high schooler that graduated this summer.  "Dressed for Eternity" is definitely more affordable with this coupon code as well.  So if you've been waiting for prices to come down on some of my paperbacks, this is the month to grab them.

If you haven't been following the pre-launch tour, let me encourage you to do so!  The event page located here: http://marilynndawson.booklikes.com/post/935619/just-2-5wks-left-of-the-pre-launch-virtual-book-tour-for-a-year-in-prayer-with-jesus has all the features and all the blog stops.  Each of the blog stops shares a bit about the new book, and/or a bit about myself as it's author.  So if you're wanting to learn more about "A Year in Prayer With Jesus", this book tour is a great way to do it.  Click the "more" link in the event description to see all the features and blog stops.  Feature links are first in each row, followed by the blog stop at the blogger's website.  You can actually get 24 single day samplings of this new book if you visit ALL the features and ALL the blog stops including the final feature and blog stop taking place next week.  These single day downloads come to you in PDF format, so they should be viewable on any device you wish to read them on.  If you are the type to put pen to paper, you may want to print them so that you can jot notes in various prayer prompt "your thoughts" sections.

But suffice to say, that we are now in launch mode!  It's been an interesting ride preparing and talking up this particular book.  In wanting to hit the widest audience possible within the Christian community, I took the risk of spreading my book tour across a wide variety of written genres.  This now has me negatively labelled in some people's minds who solidly disagree with some of the blog hosts featuring my book. Sadly, they have attributed the works of those authors with myself and I am now guilty by association.  The problem however, did lead to constructive criticism and that may actually open this book up to more readers than I expected.  So again, what the enemy has meant for evil, God has used for good.

So I'd encourage you to bookmark this blog post so that you have quick access to the coupon codes for this month as well.

If you have read my books and enjoy them, two activities would help me out immensely!  The first activity is to visit the menu item called "Around the World/Leave Reviews".  The right-hand column contains a list of places where you can write reviews and rate my books.  I need to update that list as it's grown recently.  The second activity is to spread the word.  Share the giveaway links with your friends, share the coupon codes with their store URL's with your friends, share this blog post with your friends.  

My dream for "A Year in Prayer With Jesus", would be if 365 people bought the book and each began Day One on a consequative day on the calendar.  Because this book can be started at any time of year, Day One can occur on September 1st, or October 31st, it doesn't matter.  The book simply ends 365 days later.  So imagine 365 people all beginning Day One one right after the other until the last person begins on the 365th day.  For an entire year, almost two year now that I think about it, every single prayer prompt in this book would be covered every single day by someone!  Imagine the prayer cover that can give missionaries, global workers, inner city workers, etcetera?  Those are covered under one of the prayer prompts throughout the year.  Prayer is such a powerful communication medium!  If this dream came true, I'd be thrilled!

The paperback book, due to it's sheer size and weight, will cost $25.50 US, with the various ebook iterations coming in at $9.99.  Once the proof in my hand has been approved, it will begin to enter online retailer shelves in paperback as well as ebook.  We'll see how long that list is when the Long Weekend arrives in September.  The longer the better.

Speaking of long weekends, this is a long weekend here in BC, Canada.  Do you have a long weekend where you are?  If so, take the opportunity to rest up, and enjoy the celebration!

Plans in the Works for Book Launch of "A Year in Prayer With Jesus"!

Front Cover for "A Year in Prayer With Jesus""A Year in Prayer With Jesus" has reached the proofing stage!  This means in 3 to 4 weeks, I will have it in hand, reviewing the paper copy for errors, and hopefully releasing it for printing ideally the week before the September Labour Day Long Weekend!  

The pre-launch tour that's been going on since late June has been sharing about the book, interviews about myself as an author or the book and how it came to be, etc.  There have been give-aways going on during the tour as well.  As the tour enters it's final week, another month-long celebration ahead of book launch will kick into high gear.

From August 1st until August 30th, there will be ebook giveaways for all 10 current titles under the Songdove Books imprint!  Each giveaway will last three days and three winners will be chosen each day.  When August 30th arrives, A 4 day and a 7 day giveaway will commence for "A Year in Prayer With Jesus"!  4 winners and 7 winners will be chosen respectively at two different websites, for a total of 11 recipients of the brand new book.

URL's to these giveaways are already up and clickable at:  http://songdove.fa-ct.com/wordpress-mu/songdovemusings/calendar-3/
Simply choose the month you wish to look at (August) to mouse over and/or click the various giveaway dates.  Each event listing in this calendar contains the link for that particular 3-day giveaway.

In addition to the month-long round of giveaways, there will also be a month-long sale taking place at three locations online where paperback versions of my books are sold.  For the entire month of August, you will be able to pick up paperback copies of my books for 15% off the usual retail price.  You'll need to use the following codes at checkout for the following sites:

YTUWZNRV 15% discount code https://www.createspace.com/
YPWJ-PROMO 15% discount code http://songdovebooks.storenvy.com
YPWJ-PROMO 15% discount code http://songdove.fa-ct.com/wordpress-mu/songdovemusings/new-christian-books/

If you are a blogger and wish to help out with this book launch, leave me a message with your email address and I'll be in touch with you.  If you wish to help out with this book launch by sharing the calendar of give-aways or sharing the 15% off paperback promo code and online locations, be my guest!  The greater word-of-mouth the better!

It is a dream of mine to have 365 people purchase this book in paperback, PDF, epub, or mobi, and each of these people begin "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" on 365 consequative dates!  For those prayer prompts where people groups, language families, nations and missions organizations are presented, this dream would have them covered by someone every single day for an entire year!  This includes those nations and people groups in current conflict zones as of the time of this announcement.  

When "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" officially launches, it will be available for $25.50 in paperback, and $9.99 in the various ebook formats.  Currently you can arrange for pre-order at Storenvy and Createspace above.  Deliveries will commence the first week of September and depending on what you chose for shipping, will take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to get to you.

As other book launch ideas come up and get fleshed out, more notices will be sent.

So bookmark the calendar URL above, make note of these discount codes, and get ready for a month of celebration!  Don't forget that we have three more blog stops on the pre-launch tour as well!  You'll find those in the calendar too.  That's 6 more daily free single-day downloads, and three more opportunities to enter for your copy of a one-month sampling of this book before it's ready for sale.

See you in August!
