Make Dinky Big Event

Here is an even that is being held on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/18593... make Dinky the Elf a big seller on Amazon. I have read that in the 50's and 60's, when pop groups had to get their new song on the charts to boost their careers, they would have their fan group buy it and it would get them on the local charts. From there it got more play and got on the national charts. I think that can be done with books today. If all friends and fans of mine on facebook would buy just one copy of Dinky the Elf in print or kindle on Amazon, it could make the charts as an Amazon bestseller. I am making it an event so you can post that you will commit that you have recently bought one and I can post any updates. If you already have a copy then buy one as a gift. The event will run from Nov. 4th to Nov. 17th at 12:01 am Eastern time. To show you I am serious I am lowering the price of the print book to save you some money. It was $12.95 but it will now cost $12.28. That is the lowest I can go as it cost almost that much to print the book, but that is 67 cents you can use someplace else. Here is the link to it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dinky-Elf-Rick-L-Phillips/dp/0692299971/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=onmymind-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=KR5ND2665T44GBHE&creativeASIN=0692299971

Where With Great Power Began

It was on this date, Sept. 20th 2012, that I placed this ad for authors to contribute to a book. "Ok here is something I have been thinking about and want to see if anyone is interested. If you are a comic book fan and a Christian this should appeal to you. I want to put out a book of short stories by various authors that follows the same issue of Amazing Fantasy #15 as it goes from person to person from the first day that it hits the newstands to the present. I will write the first two stories and each other Author would take a turn writing one or two stories till we get to the end, which I plan to write, unless someone else comes up with a good ending. The profits from the book will go to a Christian missionary who works for Campus Crusade for Christ named Kelley Will. Message me if you want to do this. No date as to when I will need the stories but I hope to have them all real soon to make the book before Christmas. But the date can change."Well the date did change. I found out that Christmas of that year was too close to do all that had to be done for the book. But it became the book With Great Power and it is still raising money for charity today. Here is links to it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Joseph-Beth, and Lulu.comAmazon http://tinyurl.com/gmdpncsBarnes and Noble in paperback http://tinyurl.com/zv4ggwm and in Nook http://tinyurl.com/jpjzrvwJoseph-Beth http://tinyurl.com/gsvtv9rLulu.com http://tinyurl.com/o7qw9zlDon't forget to look for our ad in Cemetery Plots #2.

New Town, New Comic Book

I’ve heard that most people say that it is their sense of smell that brings back memories to them. I can’t recall a time when smell did that for me. For me it has always been sight or hearing. Lately, I have been reading a lot of Marvel comics’ Essential series. Right now I’m reading Volume 7 of the Essential Spider-Man. The first story in this series is a reprint of #138. It was the very first comic book I bought when my family moved to the town where I still live. I recalled buying it at the local convenient store that was just a block and a half away from my new home. It was called Stop and Go. The store is still in that area and moved a half a block closer but I’m not in that house anymore. It’s also now called the Dairy Mart. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have a store that close sell comic books. You see, before we moved, the closest store that sold comics where I lived was at least a mile away. That lucky feeling didn’t last too long.   In less than 6 months they stopped selling comic books. A local drug store, that was about 5 blocks in the opposite direction and across the town’s main highway, was now my closest connection. It was still closer than a mile away, but it wasn’t like having them as your next door neighbor.   The good thing about the drug store is that I had to pass it on my way home from school. Sometimes I made a quick stop there to see what books were out.
It’s now rare to find any convenient stores or drug stores that sell comic books. Comic book specialty stores are now where most people have to find them.  If you are a comic book fan, and lucky enough to live a block away from your local comic book store, then cherish that feeling.
