    Refreshing to hear someone voice how we should remember the true meaning of Christmas-the virgin birth of Jesus-and that is possible to do this while enjoying our usual traditions of decorating, good food, etc.

    Easy to read and simple to understand. Well written instructions that remove the "intimidation factor" of self- publishing. Helping me to become a published author of books I have written for years. Have highlighted much of it to refer back to when I am working on each book. Have read three times through and will continue to use as a reference and probably read again. I have many years experience with MSWord but less than a year with MsWord 2007 and have learned new and helpful things from this guide.

    Wonderful book! I haven't quiet finished it yet but know I will enjoy more books from Debra Diaz. Highly recommend her books to anyone looking for clean-but not prudish-books about Civil War time romance and suspense.

    Absolutely wonderful book! Loved the faith-building aspect of the whole story. It is an exciting and inspirational story. You will not regret buying this one; it is well worth the price.
