This is NOT about a great photograph. Hell, I could barely hold my camera to take this shot. Or even remember how to work the controls.
This is about a GREAT TEAM.
Just a few hours ago, David and I got word that Martha's Vine had been accepted and published as a Kindle eBook on Amazon.
After the angst, the sweat, and the tears that has been the lifeblood of this book, I am beside myself with joy. It's real! It exists.
Not a hold-in your hand paperback just yet, but Martha's Vine is available for sale as a Kindle download. (The paperback will take a little more time.)
I knew we were going to ePublish and we were ready to do just that a few weeks ago, but upon more research we questioned the publishing site, and changed our minds, and went in search of a professional site like Amazon.com.
I am so excited. But in my excitement, I do not forget my team. I did NOT do this alone.
My husband, David - If you could have seen the learning curve he climbed to get us here. Over and over again, as the formats changed.
Aaron - I don't know why he stuck it out, but he did. From word one. And stayed with me till the bitter end.
Rob - I am in awe of the strength and generous nature of this man, who in spite of many personal hardships, edited Martha's Vine, not once, not twice, but 5 times. From cover to cover.
Fred - What can I say about Fred except that this amazing artist accepted my challenge and designed a cover that not only made me fall out of my chair, but also came through at one of my lowest moments.
And ...Sunny...my friend and first editor.
There are so many more people to thank, like my Flickr friends, for their wonderful support and love. I wish I could list all your names, but suffice it to say that I am deeply indebted to you. Thank you.
Special thanks must go to Susan and Bill in Florida, who faithfully read chapter by chapter with great enthusiasm, Sharon who is always in my corner, Edith who shows up with a cheery word when I need one, and Sylvia, who in spite of not being able to read the book because of its subject matter, has still stood with me.
Again, I can't thank you all by name, but I know you are there...and I appreciate you so much.
And those of you who have followed this saga...know that the plans with one publisher fell through; we had no choice but to start our own publishing house, "Creeping Ivy Publishing House."
We weren't alone in that either...with just a couple of emails, the publishing team formed: Alan, Rob, Fred, David, and John. (I can't thank these men enough for their enthusiasm, their belief in me, and their wonderful support.)
Now the hard part starts...yes, writing and editing a 586-page novel was not the hard part...selling the novel is the hard part.
Word of mouth is the only way. Will you help? Also, I need reviews! Done on the Amazon site. Please consider doing this.
Advisory: I am a very graphic writer and while I appreciate your support, I don't want my friends reading a book that may not be right for them. Please read my essay "On Sexuality" in Martha's vine.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
~With humility and gratitude,
Sheree~~
Do you believe in ghosts, angels, UFOs...things that go bump in the night? Then you will relish reading these true stories of the supernatural!
Not a believer? Excellent! You don't have to believe in ghosts to enjoy a good ghost story!

"Russell shares his numerous psychic and supernatural experiences in a way that is both enlightening and engaging. Despite its subject matter, the book is not intended to frighten but rather to fascinate and inform. Russell's writing style is relaxed and entertaining, reflecting his ease with both worldly and otherworldly beings. His confidence in his psychic abilities is evident and reassuring, making readers feel comfortable rather than fearful." — LITERARY TITAN 5 Star book review
