Join the team as we create strands for the second book in the series about Lillian and Louis as shown in
TWO, ONE … NOW THREE: How Can That Be?
We are looking for six or seven writers who will contribute by writing in the voice of a character who can quote Scripture to rationale, guide, encourage, or inspire this couple to deal with the issues revealed in Book One of this series.
WE DID IT! See plan below. Order book at this link. The artist who designed the cover is Manvi Semalty from Dehradun, India. She designed this original painting based on the description I sent her of the imagery and symbolism I wished to portray in this Christian fiction work. My brother helped me finalize the layout. Here's Manvi's email address: manvisemart@gmail.com Let her know if you're interested in her services.
PLAN FOR WRITING TOGETHER
This will become an e-book that you can purchase as a print book from the PUBLICATIONS website as a print on demand. That means you pay printing, tax and shipping using the link on the PUBLICATIONS website. No minimum number of books is required for purchase.
We reserve the right to make minor changes to enhance the flow of your story and its connection to the seed story. If the first submission is missing any of the key elements in the requirements listed, we will return it to you for revision. We will accept one revision of your story based on the comments we send to you. If the re-submitted story does not meet requirements, we will not include it in this collection. With a little more work, you may submit it to another publication.
Still interested? Email me at ajroseboro@comcast.net and I'll send you the seed story. "Two, One, Now Three?" and the link to a form to indicate your top three character choices, and the one sentence summary of first choice character and how your story will flow with or out of the SEED STORY.
JATNE PUBLICATIONS will be the publisher and they will contact you regarding the modest cost to participate.
This has been a productive year for me as I practice our craft to stay up to date. This year, I've published a novel, TWO, ONE ... NOW THREE: How Can That Be?, a children's picture book CINDY & SANDY: Learn about Elephants, co-published a poem with pictures with artist, Nancy White, RAINBOW REMINDERS: What the Colors Tell Us; and a supplement to that book RAINBOW REMINDERS: Cross-Curricular Activities. All Books are available in print and e-book on Amazon and CINDY & SANDY is on multiple platforms, thanks to Mark Mattison, CEO of LUMINESCENCE L.L.C.
Working with new independent publishers has been a good experience for me a writing coach who often works with new authors looking to publish semi-independently.

A memoir centers around a moment or event that is life-changing and significant. Its purpose is NOT to provide the reader with a detailed list of WHAT happened. Memoirs focus on HOW the author felt about the moment. They rely heavily on reflection and the significance of the event. Remember that a narrative is written from the writer's perspective and about how life is different because of a moment.
Prepare to tell your story by writing about 25-45 minutes answering each question, describing, recreating scenes for the reader. Yes, that’s 15-20 minutes for each question. This will encourage you to think past a list and recall details that pull your reader into the story or this period of your life.
It doesn’t matter the order in which you write them. For now, they are rough drafts.
Once the pieces are “cut” we will assemble to quilt or mosaic that evokes the emotions and an opportunity for readers to gain insight that will increase their faith should they have or know someone having similar experiences.
Who are you?
What happened?
When did it happen?
Where did it happen?
Why did it happen?
How did you feel while it was happening?
How do you feel now that you reflect on this momentous event?
Most important to consider and most difficult to articulate.
So what? Why should the reader care?
