I Sold Some More Books Today



It's been 2 1/2 years since I've been out selling any of my children's books, The Library Kids, to the public at any kind of public venue other than online.  Since 2013, I've moved into some material that was only suitable for adults and I wrote ten more books that were esoteric and aimed at a mature audience.  Today, I was moving in a different direction from my writing.  I've been working on art pieces that were about mythology and have made my own jewelry.  Today was the test to see how the public reacted to my art and jewelry, but I also brought along the remainder of my book inventory that I was selling for a very good price since I want someone to read the books rather than have them sit in a box.

I was completely surprised that most of my sales came from my children's books.  I haven't tried to sell my Hidden Human Story books in public yet as I was/am still on the journey of researching and writing them.  Many people were also interested in my art pieces but didn't want to spend too much to purchase them (typical in the art world), but they complimented me on them.

Watching the faces of the children who wanted the books and were very excited after reading the back covers and looking within the books, brought back a lot of memories for me.  I was very careful and still am about what I write in children's books or any of the social media pages (blog, youtube, facebook) that are associated with them.  My other books and their social media pages are a different story as my research into mythology and the past has taken me down a very dark and deep rabbit hole that I never imagined I would be in.

As I've mentioned before, I wrote screenplays when I first started out trying to be a writer and had one of them optioned twice by the producer of the movie, Norma Rae.  She tried her best, but couldn't get a studio to put up the money for the project.  I moved on to the children's books and self-published.  As of today, I've never made enough money back on book sales to pay for the start up cost for the project and may never will, but it was worth it.  These books will remain as long as we can print books long after I am dead and so will my other books.

A writer is never done writing.  I never say never to the possibility of writing another book in The Library Kid's series.  But for now, I've got some ideas for another project aimed at the adult audience that may be very dark and mysterious.  I will continue to post articles on this blog that are family friendly but I hope you understand that as a writer, I may move into different territory.  Thanks for your interest.

Colleen Koziara - An Exceptional Artist that I Met Today.



Today I met a very talented artist named Colleen Koziara.  We all have our tastes in art, but when I saw the color and subject of her art, I was just amazed.  Her work includes acrylics, illustrations for adult and children's books, teaching, writing, body art, and much more.  From freelanced.com:


In addition, Colleen does private art instruction from her home for all ages, as well as art instruction for seniors in the Chicagoland area. Colleen does Mural Art; Body Art; Face Painting and Henna; Custom Tattoo Designs; Visionary Art; and Commissioned pieces manifest from the visions and dreams of her clients. Mystical Willow Productions is her company name.

Her work is deeply moving and spiritual and contains a lot of information on various levels.

She has recently finished work on a children's book about the Armenian Genocide with a gentleman whose family survived the genocide.  The title is, The Last Diamonds.  The book is not out yet, but as soon as it is, I intend to buy a copy.  In addition, she recently began an apprenticeship as a tattoo artist.

Mythological Unification Theory and Pantheon Equivalents

After writing my children's books, The Library Kids, I stumbled into a story about an ancient family that changed the world.  This story has never been told by anyone, I am the first to tell it.  The details of this family are more appropriate for a mature audience and so I separated the material into my other website/blog called www.hiddenhumanstory.com.  My lastest book, House of Zeus, tells their story in a way that is easy to understand.

Occasionally, the material from that research may be able to be posted on this site.  I've formulated what I call, The Mythological Unification Theory, based on my research which states that this family that I term, the Cronides, traveled the world and became the gods/goddesses of every pantheon across the world and they are also encoded in all Abrahamic religions.  As research becomes available that requires me to make adjustments to my pantheon equivalents tables, I will do so.  For now, I will share some of this information through some of the graphics I have created.
