GREAT LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS

TO DELIGHT/INSPIRE the READERS IN YOUR LIFE

Great Finds Under the Tree 

Uh-oh . . . you may be in trouble. Your gift may be a little late.  However, there's still time to find something . . . quite different!

COMICS: You may not recognize the name of my friend, author/producer/screenwriter, Alan Brennert but you certainly know his work! He has written for L.A. Law; published the book "Molokai," and more recently, "Palisades Park;" and put pen to paper for some of our most popular comic books (Batman/Cat Woman) which is what I want to tell you about because it's Christmas time. Alan has placed a number of items from his personal comic collection for sale through www.blastoffcomics.com. It'll be fun to look around and see what's still there. Even if all items are sold, there's still time to order one of his books. For more information about Alan, visit his website at: www.AlanBrennert.com.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS: There are two series every family should own, in my estimation. 
One is written by Brad Meltzer,  a #1 thriller author who could not find inspirational books for his daughter to read. Meltzer wanted to introduce her to the ordinary people who have changed our world. People like Rosa Parks, Einstein, Lucille Ball, Amelia Earhart, Abraham Lincoln, and (coming in January) Jackie Robinson. www.bradmeltzer.com

The other introduces children to American history through the fictional character of Rush Revere. Young readers are transported through time travel and befriended by a horse named Liberty. It's becoming a run-away favorite with the middle school set. For  more information visit: facebook.com/rushrevere or http://rushrevere.com. 

HOLIDAY THEME: Richard Paul Evans newest offering, "The Mistletoe Promise" is rapidly climbing on the NYT Best Seller list. If you know a reader that loves stories filled with hope, this may be the gift for them. Evans is a favorite author of mine not only because of his writing but because of his compassion for children and families that are struggling. I would suggest visiting his website to learn more about The Christmas Box House, I've had a chance to visit. Amazing place. http://www.richardpaulevans.com

HOT and STEAMY! USA Today and NYT bestselling author Melissa Foster, knows a thing or two about romance . . . and chocolate. Foster not only has a devoted fan base but she is one of the best friends an indie author could have. If you are interested in learning more about the Dreaming of Love series, visit http://bit.ly/dreamingoflove_paperback. If you're an indie author and want to learn more about self publishing www.fosteringsuccess.com.

As a twelfth-hour shopper, I hope this helps fill some of the voids on your Santa list. I wish you a Merry Christmas and the Happiest and Healthiest of New Years.
