“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.” ~ Robert Bresson
I have never had a good system for keeping track of the books I want to read. Believe me, working in the independent publishing industry I always have a grand and growing list of books to read, films to watch and music to listen to. I make mental notes, filing my “want to read /watch/listen list” among all the other things stored in my brain. Often prone to forgetting the titles, I am reminded when I see a book review or receive a recommendation from someone else.
A few weeks ago, I made progress in establishing a good system of making of list of books I want to read. After picking up a copy of Book Page at our local library, I carefully went through it circling the all books that interest me. My Kindle came in handy when I downloaded sample copies of each of the books that are available in e-book format.
After reading the e-book samples, I make a decision whether to scrap the book on my list, download the full e-book or check whether the book in-print is available through our interlibrary loan.
Although this system is better than none at all, most of the books in Book Page are traditionally published books. Until now the gateway into public libraries has, in large part, been open to only traditional publishers.
How do you find what books are available in the independent publishing world?After doing a little research, I have found a new on-line site, called Review Direct: Exciting New Titles from America’s Emerging Authors. It is a way for the independents, to become visible to libraries and independent bookstores. For more information, please visit this site http://bit.ly/1DpnK4.
If you are an independent publisher, consider having your book listed in Review Direct. It is an economical and efficient way of getting information about your book to libraries digitally.
Come on back tomorrow! This site is dedicated to providing fulfilling resources and help for independent publishers.

On Monday I posted a blog called the Art of Listening. I promised to share more information on All Things Fulfilling about H.A.Levin’s book “A History of Horses Told by Horses: Horse Sense for Humans.” So here it is ~
This book is told from the perspective of a horse. Thoughts are communicated from horse to human (the author) telepathically. Essentially – What would horses say about humans and their world if they could talk?
Hal, the author, is a spiritual healer who communicates with animals. Through his telepathic capacities he points out from a horse’s point of view, that our society has grown too complex, leaving a detachment between people and the natural world. The reason women and horses form particularly close relationships is that women are more open to inspiration and enlightenment. Horses want women to gain self confidence through their relationships with equines, so they will feel the ability to change the course of the world. How about it women? Are you up to the task?
Author H.A. Levin (Hal) travels to many countries to learn about various species of horses and how man and animal have accomplished things together throughout civilization. There are chapters on the history of numerous kinds of equine species, such as:
- sporting horses
- work horses
- war horses
- race horses
- performance horses
This author has planned a series of books about the history of animals and their place in our world, please visit http://bit.ly/AuzEE3 Habitat for Humanity is a publishing partner in the The History of Horses Told by Horses.
For non-animal lovers, ”Letters to An Angel: How to Love Life and “ Quotations for Successful Living“ are more books from H.A. Levin. They share with the reader how Hal has “learned to look for a rich and fulfilling life despite obstacles or fear of failure.”

Valentines Greetings from me to you on this winter white February Day from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Love comes in all kinds of forms and unexpected ways, meaning something different to each of us. Today, I simply wish to quote one the brightest stars in history on the business of living life and finding personal fulfillment ~Albert Einstein. He said it all. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
“Make this day and every day about all things fulfilling in your life!
More independently published thoughts, words and views tomorrow from www.CornerstoneFulfillmentService.com

“Horses leave hoof prints on your heart” ~ H.A. Levin
Steamboat Springs, Colorado is an interesting town; a mix of ski resort and ranching communities all wrapped up in beautiful scenery and people who have chosen a way of life that may not be for everyone. Once I began poking around this place, I found out it is an amazing microcosm of people with diverse talents and interests. A very friendly community, too!
I met H.A. Levin (Hal) a writer and independent publisher back in June, when I formed a meet-up group, called She Writes Steamboat. It is a networking group of independent publishers who gather monthly. The mission of the group is to foster independent publishing success. Part way through our first meeting, I noticed a sole male presence quietly sitting in the back.
After we wrapped up our meeting, Hal (H.A. Levin) came over to talk . I don’t recall exactly how our conversation went but he said something like “I hope you don’t mind that a male writer came today, I saw the notice in the Steamboat Pilot that this group was going to meet.”
I told Hal that I was delighted to have him, and that the name of the group that I had chosen had nothing to do with excluding the male population of writers. I am a member of an on-line group called www.SheWrites.com . I wanted to our group to have affiliation with a national group. We have since slightly revised the name of our meet up group to SHe Writes Steamboat, to encourage male independent publishers to attend, and it has worked!
Since meeting Hal, I have learned that he has some very interesting talents and his writing emerges from his gifts of intuitive thought and communication with animals. In fact, in his book A History of Horses Told by Horses, there is some fascinating conjecture about women, their place in the world at large and the relationships that they have with horses.
Amelia Kincaide, www.ameliakincaide.com author of the books The Language of Miracles and Straight from the Horses Mouth has this to say this about Hal’s book “Bless you and thank you for devoting your life to speaking for those who ache to be heard.”
On Wednesday on All Things Fulfilling we will be featuring H.A. Levin’s book. Don’t miss out tomorrow either, I would love to share a few minutes of February 14th with you.

Happy Film Friday! It has been a busy week for me, so today our blog will be brief. I am looking forward to a fun event tonight to culminate the week.
The Lunafest at the Bud Werner Memorial Library http://www.steamboatlibrary.org/ in Steamboat Springs,Colorado is on the calendar for tonight. It kicks off at 7 pm. The Lunafest is a film festival of “shorts” by and for women. If this year’s Luna Fest is anything like last year, I am in for a fulfilling night of independent film entertainment.
The Luna Fest is paired with Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project and the Bust of Steamboat. Between 5pm –7pm, an exhibition of inspired art will be displayed and auctioned off to raise awareness and funds for treating women with breast cancer. An award will be given for the Bust of Steamboat. http://thebustofsteamboat.org/.
The Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project is just one of many, many non-profits in this county with valuable missions. The volunteer efforts in this town is beyond anything I have ever experienced before. It is impressive, to say the least.
I will return on Monday with more independent thoughts, words and views brought to you on the company blogsite of www.CornerstoneFulfillmentService.com.
Have a good weekend, everyone! I will let you know next Film Friday, which Luna Fest “short” film ranked the highest on my list.

“Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but nobody else does.”
~ Stewart Henderson Britt b. June 17, 1907
I found in this quote in H.A. Levin’s book Quotations for Successful Living. Even 100 years after the quote was written it has relevance today. What an appropriate quotation for independent publishers to take notice of.
“How can anyone NOT know what you are doing in this day and age of digital technology?” I ponder. With the power of the internet, it is hard not to be seen.
Knowing how to use digital technology and the world-wide-web to sell any kind of product or service can be a very powerful thing. It takes a little education and training for businesses to learn how to promote themselves and become visible on world-wide-web.
If you are an independent publisher selling your books, music or films over the internet through e-commerce, e-marketing is a must. They go hand in hand. A mistake that too many independent publishers make is forgetting to think of themselves as business owners. Being successful in a business means promotion and advertising. Publishing is not just about the manuscript. It means bookselling, too. There is an article that is a good resource about this very issue.http://bit.ly/aPEx0B.
E-Marketing (social media marketing) has added a whole new dimension to advertising and promotion. It can be overwhelming and confusing at the start. Help is available, search for a company that specializes in e-commerce and e-marketing for independent publishers. They will help you come out of the dark and into the light.

“We never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.” – B.J. Palmer
Today, we are featuring first time author Darcie Chan. She will be the first of many to come authors who have found success as an independent publisher of an electronic book. Darcie Chan is an environmental lawyer who has entered into the contemporary publishing market with her novel The Mill River Recluse.
The story, set in Vermont, is about a wealthy occupant in mysterious marble house. The main character suffers from a social disorder, limiting her to communicate through her bedroom window with a few key characters in her town. Chan weaves a story of love and friendship that has landed this fictitious novel on the New York Times best seller e-book list. Indie Reader touts the book “as real page turner.” Excellent reviews have come from Kirkus and it also holds a place on the USA Today’s list of best selling books, too.
More of 430,000 copies of Darcie Chan’s novel have been sold. It is downloadable from the leading on-line booksellers at a very affordable price of 99 cents. She has already made more than she in all likelihood would have been paid as an advance from a traditional publisher.
Darcie Chan is just one example of an author who has decided to go the digital publishing route, and has found success as an unknown writer. She has been approached by film studios who want to produce an book to film adaptation of her story, too. For more information on The Mill River Recluse, please visit www.darciechan.com.
We will continue to feature other inspiring stories about e-book authors on All Things Fulfilling. Check back with this blog site.

“Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world” ~~Miguel de Cervantes
I came across this quote the other day, in a litttle gem of a book by H.A.Levin called Quotations for Successful Living. Cerventes’ quote completely speaks to my blog posting of January 3, 2012 entitled Instrument of My Thoughts. It contains the essence of what All Things Fulfilling is all about.
In searching for ideas to write about in each new blog, I have come to know my own thoughts on so many issues. Blog writing has allowed me to put voice to those ideas. What began as a blogsite about the business of providing fulfillment services for independent publishers has morphed and expanded into a blogsite about all kinds of personally fulfilling things, too.
I have come to know my own thoughts about:
- Art and it’s place in my world and in the world at large
- writing and the writing process
- independently published books, films and music
- My life as it was and how I see it now, as every aspect of living and business has meshed.
- Parenting a child who has become, as an adult, a visual effects artist and filmmaker. How did that come about? Perhaps through the way he was raised? Don’t know. The jury is still out!
- My relationships with others whose lives synchronize with mine through Art and the art of living.
- Finding balance in life between work and all other fulfilling things.
I have taken Miguel de Cervantes words to heart, and I am fully engaged in a project that will some day come to fruition in the form of a book. The book will contain more independent words, thoughts and views about all things fulfilling that have created the person and the life I live today.
Have you learned lessons by making it a business to know yourself? If so, I would love to hear your comments on that train of thought. Post your comment on this site!
Please do return to our company blogsite All Things Fulfilling. In the coming weeks, I will be sharing more with you about author H.A. Levin. He has some interesting perspectives in his books about living and relationships, too.

“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” ~ Marsha Norman
“Could Ms. Norman’s quote be true?” I ask myself. If so, then bring the night time images on. I would welcome one big colossal dream at this point. I am in dire need of something to jumpstart me into writing my story once again. I am facing writer’s cramp.
Several months ago, I started telling my story and began writing the first draft. My fingers at full speed ahead, on the keyboard, could not keep up with the onslaught of thought. Suddenly, I have come to a screeching halt. My mind has gone from racing to idle, just like that.
Although using dreams for inspiration may be effective for some people, it is a school of thought that I can not subscribe to. I just can not. You see, I am a person who does not frequently remember my dreams. When I wake in the morning, I don’t have the foggiest notion of what was going on in my head the night before. At best, I only remember my dreams two or three times a year. If I rely solely on a remembered dream to inspire me, I will never, in my lifetime, finish this book.
I have identified the issues that are pertinent to the book. The challenge has come in finding the best approach, as a storyteller, to share with the reader a fulfilling thread. I can only find the answer if my mind works!
It has been said that “one of the cornerstones of human cognition is the ability to attribute thoughts and metal states to other individuals.” Some animals, such as chimpanzees demonstrate skill in insightful problem solving. Perhaps with a “monkey see, monkey do” approach to engaging in another form of art, I can stir up my thought process once again.
Should that not work, I may have to go get a nudge from my creative writing coach. With my ideas and her dreams, paired with multiple channels of energy, perhaps the two of us can pull this story off. I’ll see what my twin sister has in mind. http://bit.ly/A6lrm5.
