I've finally (FINALLY!!!) written a comprehensive list of detailed instructions for making these amazing mini-book charms in 7 easy steps. I've photographed <u>every</u> stage of the process, and I've documented all the tips and tricks I've learned (I hope) over the years. YOU CAN MAKE THESE CHARMS FOR YOURSELF!<br />
<br />
Why have I stopped making them? Because I've been doing a lot of cover art and interior book design (graphics and formatting) for authors and publishers, as well as random business graphic design. I still make the charms once in a while for past clients who want to continue their collections (or who aren't in a major rush), but the bottom line is, there are too few hours in the day to do everything I want to do in a timely, high-quality manner. <i>(Personal flaw: I have a hard time cutting corners for the sake of speed. :-)</i><br />
<br />
So check it out!! Skim the 30+ photographs and if you're serious about making your own mini-book charms for swag, gifts, or personal keepsakes, take the time to read the directions--you'll save yourself a lot of trial & error if you do.<br />
<br />
And just so you know, making these charms IS a time-consuming process that DOES require some effort. But let me say on behalf of myself, past clients, and from the many authors who've received miniature charms of their personal books from spouses or friends, <u>IT IS WORTH IT!!!</u><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Be proud of your writing accomplishments and </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>make a charm for every book you've written!! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'm serious!) </div>

It wasn’t until he was tending his sick wife that he learned the enormity of what he’d done and he was unable to save her from the monster he had become. Consumed with guilt and praying for absolution, he threw himself into killing every Fallen he could find to save the humans he’d sworn to protect. But then Emma, deliciously mortal and completely forbidden, swept into his world, stirring an overpowering desire. Now he’s not only fighting soulless creatures, but also his inner cravings, trying to maintain his distance and continue on his path to forgiveness. He can’t afford to lose control again and sacrifice another love.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In 1600’s New England, it was decreed thus: <i>"Whoever lies with the beast will bear a mark that is insensible and in their most secret parts, and may be located only through diligent and careful search." </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Accused of witchcraft, Abigail Prescott must strip for the masses and submit to the Governor’s inspection. She is ill-prepared for this shameful, grueling probe as it permits him to see and test her every inch and every hollow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Governor Jameson Foster has examined many before, but Abigail enchants him like no other. Before he succumbs to her sweet charms, he must uncover the dark truth of this bewitching. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Should she feel his prodding and respond to his touch, her innocence will be proven. And this night he will claim her. Should she resist, fail to cry out in pain or in pleasure, then all will know she is a witch who bears The Mark.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
By yielding to the proud tears of an accused witch, The Watchman's soul may have been touched by evil. Now he must stand bare before the governor, and submit to a thorough and shameful examination.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though Giles Scott would resist the touch of another man's hands, it is through complete abandon that his innocence might be proven. Since it is only the witch who cannot feel, only Giles' arousal can spare him and another from the the noose. And so, he surrenders.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yet screams from another chamber - perhaps pained, perhaps pleasured - awaken his fears from his youth, and the governor's touch no longer teases but stings, much like the punishing bite of a whip against the flesh of The Watchman. </div>

Here's an awesome idea from author, Barbara Lieberman-- Items that have quotes and messages from your novel <i>instead </i>of the cover!<br />
<br />
What a fun way to give potential readers a taste of what they might find inside. I love it!<br />

What he didn't know, however, was that on the same night he'd also meet the love of his life and a pathway to answers, because Aden is far more than just a pack omega. </span><br />

Indistinct voices, strange visitations and unusual dreams have begun to plague Nineteen-year-old Khari days before her return from London to her Oregon home. As the occurrences have spawned haunting emotions she thought she had escaped, she realizes she can’t ignore them any longer and begins to surrender to their pull.<br />
<br />
Feeling weary and a bit crazy, Khari struggles to cope with what is happening to her. She is forced to open up about herself, only to find out secrets were kept from her by those she trusts the most. She then begins a problematic journey toward self-discovery and uncovers more than she ever imagined possible. But, continuing toward understanding requires Khari to face a dangerous figure, risk of death and a fight for love.<br />

Kharishma explores the importance of family ties, both past and present, the consequences of love and hate, and the power of believing in ones self. It is a story of deception, humility, discovery and the strength of bonds to the seen and unseen. It is a story that will not be easily forgotten.<br />

<b>(The Trihune Series Book 1)</b><br />
<br />
Cade committed himself to saving lives before he learned the full consequences of his life-altering decision. It wasn’t until he was tending his sick wife that he learned the enormity of what he’d done and he was unable to save her from the monster he had become. Consumed with guilt and praying for absolution, he threw himself into killing every Fallen he could find to save the humans he’d sworn to protect. But then Emma, deliciously mortal and completely forbidden, swept into his world, stirring an overpowering desire. Now he’s not only fighting soulless creatures, but also his inner cravings, trying to maintain his distance and continue on his path to forgiveness. He can’t afford to lose control again and sacrifice another love.<br />

<b>About the author:</b><br />
RB Austin enjoys torturing dogs (dressing her Cairn terrier in knitted sweaters and booties), embarrassing her daughter (singing in car . . . at top of her lungs . . . with the windows open . . . at a stop light), and indulging in the second deadliest sin (chocolate, Swedish fish, chocolate, sour patch watermelons, and chocolate).<br />
<br />
This author's love of the sun puts in her in the more-than-likely-not-a-vampire category, unless you're referring to the bloodsuckers in her Trihune series, then all bets are off.<br />

They’d finally caught the madman who had been kidnapping, torturing and murdering submissives. Damon had sat in that warehouse, clutching Oliver, the boy barely alive, and somehow in the weeks that followed Damon never seemed to be able to let him go.<br />
<br />
Oliver was broken, in body, mind, and spirit. And for the first time since he had brought him home from the hospital, Damon started questioning himself. Was he going to be enough for Oliver? If he could even find all the pieces of Oliver’s broken soul, could he mend them? Had the horrors that had ripped through Oliver left too many holes for Damon to repair? And finally, if he was going to be able to put Oliver back together, could he stop his own heart shattering in the process?<br />

Life's hard and it doesn't get any easier. That's something you don't have to tell Clem, Carver, Sampson, and Math. As they struggle with growing up, they also struggle with feeling abandoned, not only by the society around them but also by each other. Will they find their way back to one another?<br />

Best friends don't lie.<br />
<br />
Best friends don't ditch you for a guy.<br />
<br />
Best friends don't post your deepest darkest secret online.<br />
<br />
Bailey's falling head-over-heels for Ryder West, a mysterious gamer she met online. A guy she's never met in person. Her best friend, Meg, doesn't trust smooth-talking Ryder. He's just a picture-less profile.<br />
<br />
When Bailey starts blowing Meg off to spend more virtual quality time with her new crush, Meg decides it's time to prove Ryder's a phony.<br />
<br />
But one stupid little secret posted online turns into a friendship-destroying feud to answer the question: Who is Ryder West?<br />

She didn’t have a name…<br />
She has lived alone her entire life. Her only companions are the statues she carves and the mysterious man who haunts her dreams. One day, a handsome, golden, angry man suddenly appears on her island…<br />
<br />
He was death. Literally…<br />
Thanatos, one of the oldest and most powerful death gods, has secluded himself from anything that will cause emotion. Emotion equals a lack of control, and lack of control means thousands of untimely deaths. He lives alone on his ranch in the Underworld, but when a battered, bloody woman is found unconscious in his high-strung stallion’s stall, he has no choice but to obey the call of her swirling emerald eyes.<br />
<br />
A secret worth killing for…<br />
Two Gods band together to destroy Thanatos’s mysterious house guest. Thanatos must keep her safe, and also find a way to resist her warm and honest personality. Just who is his mystifying companion?<br />
<br />

Using my talents to raise funds for a great cause! 100% of profits on this book charm <b>(ordered before May 30th)</b> will support the 2015 Team Eugene Aquatics Swim-A-Thon.<br />
<br />
What is a Swim-A-Thon?<br />
<br />
A Swim-a-thon is a fundraiser used by year-round swim teams all over the United States to raise money for their respective club. To raise money for a Swim-a-Thon, swimmers receive pledges and donations from family members, friends, neighbors, and local businesses (me in this case!).<br />
<br />

This year the team is raising money to go toward greatly needed new timing equipment (over $20,000) as well as a 25% increase in pool dues. In addition, a small percentage of the funds received will go to support the following:<br />
<br />
- TEAM Eugene has a scholarship fund that allows children to swim year around in a sport that their families cannot afford on their own. Many teams do not have a scholarship fund.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
- A portion of the funds donated by you go to supporting the US National and US Olympic Team.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your support. Go TEAM Eugene!<br />
<br />
Price: $10 each, and that <u>includes</u> shipping throughout the US only. And, you have your choice between a necklace charm OR a keychain charm.<br />

BrickerTwelve years of marriage, 4,000 square feet of dream house, and a handsome husband. Jessie Stanton has it all… until one fateful afternoon when she notices her BMW bouncing by the window behind a tow truck. Her husband has gone, and he’s taken it all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The whirling tornado that cuts down the life she’s built drops Jessie onto the sandy beach of Malibu with a thud, penniless and alone. When all she’s left with are the designer labels in her closet and the dreamy Neil Lane rock on her finger, Jessie tries to make ends meet by pawning her prized ring to fund a new business venture: a small shop where her designer duds and shimmering accessories are temporarily leased out to Southern California women with champagne tastes but root beer realities. As Jessie tries to rebuild, she realizes she can’t move on, not without answers. Reluctantly, Jessie turns to beach bum/private investigator Danny Callahan for help. But is she staking her future success and happiness…on a ring and a prayer?<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">28-year-old Drew Kelly knows exactly how to be happy. No work, no bills and no responsibilities.<br /><br />And definitely no relationships.<br /><br />Rather than dealing with life’s daily struggles, Drew only does what he wants, when he wants. Like volunteering at the local soup kitchen, reading for hours, and playing basketball every morning with his buddies at the sports club.<br /><br />Life is good.<br /><br />Or so he thinks.<br /><br />When Drew meets the charming but conventional Natalie, their instantaneous connection turns his world upside down. While Drew can’t resist Natalie’s positive vibe, Natalie is inspired by Drew’s spontaneity and is liberated with every unpredictable moment spent with him. Together, they explore a depth of happiness they never thought possible….but are they willing to give up life as they know it just to make it work?</span></div>

She risks everything to deliver gold to the Confederacy.<br />
<br />
Lillie Coulbourne marks time in Paris while the Civil War rages back home. While translating dispatches for the French Finance Ministry, she accepts a spy mission through the Union blockade. When the captain of the only blockade runner headed back to a Southern port won't deal with women, or spies, she sneaks aboard as his cabin boy.<br />
<br />
He refuses to risk his ship, or his heart.<br />
<br />
Blockade runner Captain Jack Roberts has never been caught, and he's not about to let a spoiled American heiress ruin his perfect record. After he discovers her deception, he fails miserably at keeping her at arm's length and vows to send her packing on the first mail ship back to England.<br />
<br />
When she surprises him with her skill as a seaman and navigator, he grudgingly allows her to finish the run. But ultimately, he has to choose what is closer to his heart - Lillie or his ship.<br />

The Cat That Went To Homecoming is the coming of age story of Ellen Jones, an overweight teenage girl from a single family home. She is under constant attack by her peers, bullied because of her weight and her family's poverty. Through volunteer work with her cat, Hershey, Ellen finds her self esteem and the courage to stand up to her bullies. Along the way, she discovers what true friendship and forgiveness are and tells us how Hershey became The Cat That Went To Homecoming.<br />
<br />
"The Cat That Went To Homecoming addresses many serious social issues including family separation, bullying, homophobia, social isolation, and depression. The compelling story is also about fun, friendship, and forgiveness."<br />
—Paula Scott-Ginn, Pet Partners Marketing Coordinator<br />
