The ANATOMY of the Halfway Realm

Post by George »

Hi All,

You haven't seen too much of me of late. I've been flat-out working on The ANATOMY of the Halfway Realm, which is actually my fourth book, not the third.

When it's all done and printed, I'll backtrack onto the third, and get that all done.

Should have a little more time soon to answer questions that are rather left behind.

God bless.....
George

Hi Anne,

Yes, it looks good.

I'm hoping it will be ready in a month or so.

Possibly bound and as a PDF.

Hugs.....
George

Hi Michelle,

By rights I should be "looking at" the third book -- the third of the 11:11 trilogy, but something is not clear in my mind.

Back in 2001, 40 years after his passing on, I had a chance to hear from my dad, and he insisted my third book tended to "paint an incorrect picture" of him. He was more psychic and spiritual than how I saw him during my early years.

He asked for changes to the text -- a tall order in my view. I'm not sure which Celestial to ask for for help, but I suppose one will turn up.

And yes, they can read anything they wish "up there".

hugs.....
George

Hey George,

Actually by rights you shouldn't be finishing a book you are not fully satisfied with. Especially if something is still missing or not quite right. I always regret my choice when I move ahead despite that feeling. When the time is right it will all become clear so moving ahead with something else was just perfect in my eyes.

Hi Michelle,

Well, profiling my dad in retrospect is too tough for me, but maqybe "I'll be Frank" and Alice can help. :?:

We'll see.

George -
Perhaps this is something you could handle via an epilogue, i.e. somehow blending the memories of your dad from the earlier years into the perspective you now have.

Best of luck, whatever you decide.

Peace,

Hello all,

Speaking of dad's, i was sat thinking of my dad today, i havent spoken to him for 21 years now... :cry: So today i decided enough is enough and that it is about time i made the effort to speak to him again, after all he is my father. I thought that i might send him my email address for starters, rather than provide him with my telephone number, that would be too much and too soon. So i got up quickly and rushed to the kitchen to jot down this idea of an email on paper, as i wrote it, i was stood next to the micro, i felt the need to glance upwards and it read 11:10 and the cooker clock 10:09... I counted to 26 (my own prompt number) they both ticked over to 11:11 and 10:10..... :) :cry: :sunny:

I just wonder who is sending me these 26's, maybe a cellestial or my grandparents, im not too sure..? or perhaps both...

Love Sarah xxx

I'm hoping the Cherubim, "I'll be Frank" and Alice will help.

Probably will.

George,
Did "The ANATOMY of the Halfway Realm" get published and I missed it somehow? I have the other ones. I love them. I loaned one though and did not get it back yet so I might have to order another one. I see that all these posts are from last year.

Hi dear Judy,

Well, we're battling right now. We need more4 than 2x the number of list subscribers for sales to come close to covering cost.

"The Anatomy..." is on hold pending funds for the project.

Much love.....

Hi George,
How much money is needed? Maybe we could all focus on you receiving the funds....Goodness, we have the tools to manifest this surely.....I feel that it won't be too far off. The time will be right and the money will fly to your hand.....a hand that has worked hard and given so much to others....
I'm getting the end of May. How does that sound......if it's sooner then that time will be significant in connection with it.
Love lilly xxx

Dear Lilly,

It's a LOT of money! USD 6000 to 7000 if you want to do it right and expect "some" return to be able to afford a follow-on book later down the line.

In the long term publishing it yourself and going for an offset printing run is THE way.

There are 5 more books to be published. Maybe 6. :shock:

Hugs.....

George,

I agree with our Lilly, there are certainly enough of us around here in the spiritual frame of mind to bring this about. We are ALL strapped financially to the eyes of the world, but WE know that all needs are provided us when our intentions and actions are in right accord. Of course, our timeing is not always on the same line as the perfect will of our Creator. We are impatient. I am going to pack some prayer into this, and action as the chance presents itself. I sure do look forward to these publications with excitement in my heart.
Love...Judy...M.

Prayers always help !!!!!!!!!! Courage, too, is needed.

To order an economical quantity, one must look at 1000's. To place the order leaves one open, as there is always an unknown amount of extras -- print over-runs and much more.

Interestingly, Origin Press, the co-publisher we once were associated with, considered "The Search for 11:11" to be their bestseller, and still, that does not mean the book pays for itself.

About 3500 are sold -- 5-star rating on Amazon -- and still each copy sold is costing us a little -- 20 cents or so -- to get word out there.

Writing books is a great pastime for 9,999 writers out of 10,000, a living, a profession for few.

We battle on getting manuscripts ready. The promise from the Midwayers is that my books will be read "for one hundred years."

I believe it! With their help it's "good stuff."

Hugs.....
George

Hi George,
What about self publishing with "print-on-demand".

My husband used iUniverse for his latest book. They charge him six hundred US dollars. That is just a tenth of the number you mentioned. If I don't remember wrong, I believe the retailer price for the book was about $12 for paperback, and half that price for the eBook version. And after they had sold a couple of hundred of his book, they started to send money TO us. :D

Also, they have worldwide distribution through Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles.com, and other retailers. Check it out: http://www.iuniverse.com/

Sven took time to research different publishers in the self-publishing business, he talked to other writers, compared prices... and in the end, he was satisfied with his choise.

Good Luck,
Maria
