Subject: Re: Dandelion Books

I have published three books with Dandelion Books (Living with Soul, volumes 1 & 2, and It's All About Control), and am delighted with their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to work with authors. Carol Adler, the publisher, is a very easy person to work with and is dedicated to showcasing her authors' work on the Dandelion and other web sites, through book wholesalers and via a program of press releases.

Dandelion also uses cutting edge technology to present authors' works as e-books and is currently ramping up to a whole new set of e-book formats and outlets.

As with any publisher, a book’s success depends partly on the author’s efforts, too, and you will find Dandelion very supportive of your promotional activities. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact me by email.

For the birthday dinner, your willingness to listen and all of your support.

You have guided me to where I am today. One of theses days I will discipline myself to really watch my punctuation. Don't give up on me. I WILL get around to it eventually!

Keep in touch. Carol I have never met anyone quite like you. You are truly unique.

I meant to say this last night. It is true that the nurse / patient relationship is close but it never crosses the line. It is important for the wives to understand this.

The nurse provides comfort, empathy, teaching and care hopefully for the whole family. Although this doesn't sound glamorous, the nurse fulfilling is her responsibility.

Sheila.

Subject: Hello...my experiences with Dandelion Press

I'd like to share my wonderful experience with Dandelion Press. I was referred to Carol Adler by Peter Shepherd of www.trans4mind . He is a European psychiatrist/therapist who runs several publications as well as a private practice and creating wellness and self help programs. Because I had come to respect him so immensely, I chose to contact Carol when I was ready to self-publish. Carol is not only exceptionally well educated but reads people very well. Her writing expertise and business sense provided a marvelous backdrop for my first experience in this realm. An avid reader and publisher of a few short articles, I was a "babe in the woods" regarding the publishing arena. It's obvious that Carol has tremendous experiences in this arena. Her marketing sense helped to hone my writings. hahah! Even though it's at times difficult to release the "baby" for suggestions by others, her ideas and rewrites - always with my permission - made my book most enjoyable and readable. My original drafts were a bit "haughty" and that wasn't my intention in communicating. Carol was able to "see" me and my personality...and when I felt a need to change things to be a bit more myself, she was super. I don't know how she manages to keep her own ego at bay - because of her tremendous skill and love of her field - but she does it with class! Carol is a writer and I've read two of her novels. There is an ease in her style of writing...and that carries over to her dealings with people. She has depth of spirit, an uncanny awareness of humanity, and the ability to be generous. Carol is a true professional and today that is such a joy! I have to admit that Carol's suggestions were the parts most enjoyed by friends, neighbors, and family with whom I shared (hahahah! "pushed") my work. It has been such a grand feeling to have something of myself in written form in hardcopy. My daughters have enjoyed my humor, small takes on wisdom, and "hopeful" stance in my book. I would tell you quite candidly and with much enthusiasm that Carol Adler with her publishing house will be a wonderful step for you in fulfilling your own personal goals. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I wish you joy, challenge, and success in being you. -Becky Reed (just married) www.ruffpersonalassistant.com

Subject: RE: MOU

As you must know the word Cromaat was and is the word that the mystery schools use to seal a wish or any thing that was done...I always use it. I use it like I use so mot it be!! or is done!!!

At the moment I signed the agreement, I used it to seal my wish. I asked God and to the greatest intelligence with whom we work to make a better world, to guide you and me and help us to make the best of my little story. I asked God to bestow you with the greatest creativity, to increase your grace, intelligence and wisdom to inspire you, to make you see very clear my intentions and the purity of my heart to make this story shine...

I know you were chosen to help me. I don't think, there are too many people in the publishing business who have the spiritual awareness that I can feel you have. That fact makes me feel good because I know you will enhance my story and not butcher it just because you don’t have the understanding... I want the language describing the story to be simple and easy to read. A simple way that all the children and even the adults can read with out difficulties...

The greatest disappointment for me when I read a book is to see that it is written in such a way that makes it hard for the reader to read. With books like that I put them down and don't touch them again... The other day I so a book with a gorgeous cover, to tell you the truth, I felt compelled to read it just because the cover was so inviting. However when I started to read the book, the way these ladies wrote that book only had a purpose. First to show how well they were able to expressed using the must intricate words and using a great deal of quotes in foreign languages. The little that I read of that book was so boring that I lost total interest. I understood then, that no body should judge a book just by the look of its cover...

That experience inspired me to understand once more, that simplicity is the language of God!

I have placed my trust in you and I know that you will do a great job. Not only because you are an experience professional in these matters but also because I think you feel the same way I do... I am not perfect but I am a perfectionist. My teachers always tell me DO IT WELL AND BE POSITIVE!!! When we meet we will talk about some of these experiences, I know that will help us to work with this story with a very especial understanding...

I thank God for letting me to meet you, I would not feel comfortable If I had to be working with my story with some one else...

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED...TRUST ME! JUST LIKE WHEN I SAID TO YOU. "THIS PROJECT IS IN GODS HANDS AND HE WILL GIVE US THE MEANS OR OPEN THE DOORS TO GET IT DONE"...THE MUST IMPORTANT IS TO KEEP THE PURITY AND SINCERITY...

GOD BLESSES YOU.

Dear Carol. I forgot to mention that I have been reading the books you gave me... I want to tell you that I love the way you write.

I know my little story is in the best hands. With your wonderful artistic writing you will make it shine... I thank God for choosing you to do this job.

Love you.

I understand you are considering having your book published by Dandelion.

I checked with several self-publishing companies prior to signing with Dandelion Books. Since signing, I have been very pleased with Dandelion and Carol Adler in particular. She is honest, has been very helpful whenever I have questions, is always available, and has helped advertise my book. Since my book has been published, Feb. 2007, I have placed three orders which arrive within 7-10 days. A nice convenience is that I can order as many or as few books as I need. I would highly recommend Dandelion Books.

Carol... this is it. I know that God is in charge of Marrisingle, and you too....there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank God for the opportunity to meet you. Even if we only sell one copy, the journey has been so worth it.

Wishing you the warmest blessing over Easter, love you,

Brenda

Stretching the Wings of Change

I saw myself as a bird; my wings were ready to test the strongest wind now! One afternoon while reading the newspaper, my (third eye) picked out an announcement about a writing and publishing seminar that as to be given in the Phoenix area.

“What do you think?” I turned to Randy, who was seated next to me, reading another section of the paper, “You know it always means something when a newspaper article pops right out at me! Should I take that Marrisingle Journal to this seminar and see if it’s worth pursuing? Get a professional opinion?”

Embracing my excitement, Randy encouraged me, "Yes, yes. Go, Brenda!"

Pulling into the parking lot, there it was again, that magical feeling of excitement that I was connecting with someone or something very special.

Three women introduced themselves and one in particular caught my eye. Shivers ran down my spine, with goose bumps quickly forming; I knew it was the connection to her. After a break in the presentation, I went outside and grabbed my typed manuscript. Before going inside again, I spoke to God: Well, here it is God, you’ve been pushing me, nagging me for awhile to get on with this, here I am, right where I am suppose to be, and I am giving to the right One. So I know from here, you’ll take it where it’s suppose to be, no hard feelings God, if it was just to reach me, I am ok with that too!

Eagerly I gave it over to the One. Smiling, I approached her, petite and very pretty, and she stood ready with a warm smile and outreached hand. "Hello, I'm Carol Alder, Dandelion Books."

It was if she was waiting for me. I introduced myself, explained the contents of my manuscript and where I was at, and asked if she would mind giving me her professional opinion.

Within several days, Carol called me back and we met. She told me how important Marrisingle could be, how helpful this book could be others. She urged me to tell my story because it would be valuable for others to know about my journey.

Carol,

You are so special, everything that I have read so far is spot on. Wow! I love the intro. The ice cream truck and fruit cart were reversed that’s all. I doubt that there will be that much to change. You have captured my words , my heart and it has brought tears to my eyes. You are an artist and I am in awe of your gifts!

Dear Mr. F.,

Carol will be publishing my first hard copy book on XXXXX as well as helping me publish an e-book called XXXXX . . . . Carol has been working fiercely for her whole life for a free press and freedom of speech . . .

Thank you for all your hard work and your bravery,

S.F.

The multi-talented Carol Adler, President of Dandelion Books, is so highly respected, gifted and knowledgeable that when I put a manuscript in her hands I know it will come back in ready to go condition. As a Professional Author of twelve books and counting with a busy speaking, training and writing career, I confess I don't have time for the painstaking wordsmithing or the patience to go over every little edit. With my work in Carol's capable hands I don't have to! I can confidently trust that my work (to the word!) will be perfectly turned out and polished to a very high standard. And that leaves me free to create the content I am purposeful and passionate about.
