In the recent years we have witnessed how the internet became a very active venue for making money. Whether you have tried it already or not, it is never too late to start your money making dreams come true. And one good way to earn through the internet is by writing ebooks. If you are interested in this money making scheme that has made others hit the financial jackpot, then carefully follow these tips by heart as these can teach you how to write e-books effectively at the least possible time.
Tip 1: Think of a topic you know very well.
If it is your first time in writing an ebook, then I would suggest that you write about a topic that you are familiar with. You can write about something that deeply interests you or something that you are an expert in. The fact that you like or know about the topic makes it easier for you to start. It also allows you to have more credibility on the matter, thus, allowing you to easily market your new e-book.
Tip 2: Get organized.
In any type of writing, it does not help to go about it haphazardly. You need to approach your writing in an organized and systematic manner. How do you do it? Start with an outline or a skeleton. Divide your topic into interesting subtopics that are in the right sequence.
Tip 3: Create content that is of top quality.
After you have done your outline or ebook skeleton, it is time to fill up the spaces and write the main contents of your e-book. Of course, it is necessary to do some research even if you are fairly articulate about your subject matter. It would also help to be creative in your wordings as you would not want your readers to get bored or lose interest.

Ebook Writing Tips - Useful Tips in Writing Ebooks
Ebook Success - Great Techniques in Making Money Using Ebooks
Making money with ebooks isn't always the easiest thing to do if you don't know how to do it. Here are a few techniques to make this process a lot easier.
- Provide a sample page from your product or even one entire chapter. This will make potential customers interested in the rest of your e-book and be motivated to buy.
- Make extra cash by selling monthly updates of your ebooks.
- Divide the content of your material into separate reports and make it possible for prospects to buy just the part that contains the information they need. You can also sell half of it at a discounted price. If they find themselves liking it, they can choose to pay what is needed to complete the full price in order to purchase the other half of the e-book.
- Offer potential customers a discount on the products and/or services of your business partners or that of your own when they buy your product. You could also give away some related freebies such as monthly updates to your ebook, free consultation service, free newsletter, etc., to be given during the next purchase they make.
- Do over your material for certain niches, e.g., you can make a small amount of redesigning for your business book to turn it into a scrapbooking business book.
- Include even offline individuals among your list of potential customers. You can have your product made into an audio book, print book, print newsletter, video or report.
- Allow reprinting privileges for your e-book but for an additional charge.
- Offer package deals. Come to an agreement with other internet marketers who have written ebooks relevant to yours and compile your works together.

Rich Or Poor? Free E-book Can Make All the Difference
I was quite surprised by the actual headline of this ebook -
"Is YOUR T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G making you Rich? or Poor?" - by Frank A Trueblood.
There's lots of people and things I usually blame for me not having any money, but my own thinking certainly was not one of them. I blame my boss, my insurance companies, my gas bill, my electric bill, my mortgage, my government, my kids, the IRS - I could go on and on playing the blame game ... but I won't. You get what I mean.
So I just skimmed over this FREE eBook rather quickly. It was easy and short and also startling. Then I went and got some chocolate chip cookies and milk and, while I was dunking and eating, I very slowly read it over again.
There I was right in the eBook- the unsuccessful Poor person. In black and white, I recognized me. Bad decisions, opinions, attitudes and choices - all mine - all bad choices that had put me on my very own unsuccessful path.
Well, after reading, I can give my forehead a "V-8" slap because now I also know what and how successful Rich people think and how their choices are made. But like Frank A Trueblood says in his eBook, "The successful person realizes you don't become Bill Gates overnight" - so I will keep practicing. I want you to have your own "AHA" moment, so I don't want to give away all of the eBook's secrets ...
...But...what would YOU do if:
1. There's a great flat-screen TV on sale - what do you think and do? What does a successful Rich person think and do?
2. You receive the brochure for that vacation cabin you want to go to - what do you think and do? What does a successful Rich person think and do?
How will your thoughts and actions match up with an unsuccessful Poor person or a successful Rich person? What does a rich person do differently than an unsuccessful Poor person to make their money keep growing?
Frank A Trueblood reveals the one specific question to ask yourself whenever you have to make ANY decision in your life. Yes, I mean ANY kind of question, choice or decision in your entire life - about making money or otherwise! It is so important and helpful that it will become your new mantra.
Just like me, after you've read "Is YOUR T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G making you Rich? or Poor?" at least several times, you will know exactly what to do and what not to do, so that you will be on your way to making money and keeping money in your pocket and having your dreams become your new reality.
After I get the cookie crumbs cleaned out of my keyboard, I'm gonna share this FREE eBook with everyone I know. After putting into practice what I have learned, I am now on a positive course in my life. What started out as a simple book review has me making money and I can even help others reach their goals.
Frank A Trueblood has this Rich or Poor thinking all figured out for you ... and he's giving "Is YOUR T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G making you Rich? or Poor?" to you FREE! In his eBook the author says, "Now there's one very important thing you must know about your thinking before we continue. Your past or current thinking is not your fault. It's only your fault if you don't correct it."
My thumbs up to this successful author for helping so many people - and a big thank you from me personally.
REVIEW BY JEAN KADAU:
... Make the right decision to share "Is YOUR T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G making you Rich? Or Poor" with everyone you know - after you read it yourself. Find out how you can become successful at http://GetYourFreeCopyHere.com

24 Articles On Your Own Photography Business: A FREE e-book to Get You Started
You may have already started to make money from your photography, but if you are still a gifted amateur, then there are effective methods you can use to kick start your chances of making a profit. At the present time there has never been more opportunities for the photographer. New technologies in the form of digital cameras are changing the face of the industry. However that has always been the case for photographers, and it is no reason to get discouraged. It has never been easier for the amateurs to take their own photographs. However there are certain circumstances where it is harder than others. An example here is pet photography. There are plenty of people living alone, who have pets, and whilst they can photograph their pets it is far harder to get a photograph of them with their pets. Advertise locally to take pet photos, or take a walk in your nearest park and ask people. If you use a digital camera, you can advertise to people that not only can they have a copy of their pets, as a photograph, but they can have it on their desktop as wallpaper. Digital online printing services will also print the photo on postcards. Get some done and then post them to friends or relations overseas. mugs and serve them in your house to pet owners and see how long it is before someone else wants one.
There are other possibilities, with the tee shirts and mugs, some people will want their own photographs on a tee shirt with perhaps their own caption, advertise these services locally through the means of small ads.
Have some business cards printed, and go and cover local sporting events and contests, there is always someone without a camera, especially if they win, they will want a photograph. Or you may like to consider joining a local society, and advertising yourself as a photographer, there is nothing as effective as word of mouth advertising, all the money paid for advertisements cannot beat it!
Be aware of local activities that take place in your area that you can capitalise on. Graduations are an occasion when people wish to have a more formal record. The cost of graduating itself is so high that what is the cost of a formal portrait in comparison. Especially if you have a digital camera and have no film, you can almost use it in a speculative manner. In other words there are a lot of people together who constitute a market. If you photograph them all then the chances are that you will sell about 40% of your work. There is always someone who has a jammed camera, or in the wrong place, or even proud grandparents who do not possess a camera.
Not everyone lives down the Road from the Taj Mahal, or Gracelands, but many of you will live near a landmark that attracts photographers. Many people will have their cameras but they will not necessarily be digital. If you have a digital camera you should be able to show people a photograph they want in front of something. These photographs, though time consuming to start with, are a start on the photographic market ladder.
Join a photographic club, and talk to other photographers who are making money now. Not only will you make contacts, but you will have the opportunity to refine your techniques. Even in this digital age, it is vital that you keep abreast with technology, and you will be able to compare the value of equipment, that is being used now.
If you have a digital camera, take it in your local nightclub, there is always one in any time, which are new and trendy, take photographs of the range of cocktails on offer. Attractive looking drink will sell better with a photograph, see if you can sell the photographs, or better still negotiate a price for new printed menus. Speak with other local businessmen and see if they can improve their marketing techniques with the use of photographs. A second hand car dealer can increase his business potential with the use of photographs.
Remember when you are starting to make money from photography that you may feel as though you will attract more market share if you sell your work cheaply. Before you take this strategy though, think about some of the implications. It will have a short-term increase that is for sure, but in the long term how many businesses and families want to hire the cheapest photographer in town. People know that they rarely get good quality for super cheap prices and photos,...well, they're special items to most people. Don't be too expensive but don't be cheap either!
Your technical ability is sufficient to represent your client’s marketing in a visual statement, that requires more than point and shoot. Do not sell these skills short. You have to be aware of the hidden costs of doing business; all to often it is easy to absorb a little loss of profit, because it is only small. These costs can add up to a sizeable amount. Ask other local photographers price their market, this may seem a strange technique, but they have a vested interest in not letting a new comer under price their market.
Take into account your realistic overheads, that is the depreciation of your equipment, your insurances, legal fees, accountancy fees, repairs, travel time and costs, subscriptions, and possible rent, both of equipment and studio space. Educate your client explain to them what the higher technology costs, but also what it can offer them. All businesses have to be made more profitable, and it is difficult but not impossible to find a balance between the price you need to charge, and the price the customer will pay, the more the client understands new technology, the less likely they are to balk at paying for it. After all it is cheaper to ride a bike to work than invest in a new car, but who realistically wants to do it.
It is a good idea to sit down and write a business plan to define where you want to go and define your target audience. This is a good marketing strategy; it stops you wasting time effort and money, targeting areas that will provide you with little or no return.

Discover Financial Freedom with an E-book Home Business
Financial freedom can only be recognized with hard work, innovation, and a popular - but reliable - product or service. But with an Internet business, these three often get clouded with having almost too many opportunities. You can easily get discouraged when researching the overwhelming number of business venues that are available online. But with e-books, many small business owners are discovering financial freedom while offering long-lasting products of value.
E-books are electronic books that might contain graphics, photos, sound, and content relating to any subject. They can also contain links to various web pages for promotions or illustrations. It's very inexpensive to create an e-book, but yet people enjoy reading them every day. E-books are popular online because they are usually inexpensive or free and offer advice and tips on a variety of subjects. The subjects can be anything from "how to earn money online" to "how to start a home business." E-books may also cover more specific subjects such as "how to make money with a crafts business" or "cross-stitching tips for the beginner." The possibilities for e-book subjects are unlimited.
E-book Home Business Facts
Starting an e-book business means you are offering e-books for sale online to a specific target audience. You might sell only one or a few e-books, or you might even sell hundreds of them. The choice is yours, but of course, the more e-books you offer, the more chances you'll have to earn a lucrative income.
Here's how it works. You'll promote your e-books using various techniques such as an e-mail newsletter (e-zine), search engine promotions, paid ads, and other methods. Customers will visit your website to read your presentation. When they purchase one of your e-books, they will download it directly from your website or from an e-mail. You can even automate the entire process to make things easier on you and the customer.
The reason e-books are so successful for gaining financial freedom is because once they're created, you don't have to do anything except promote them. You can create an automated cash system that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. E-books can be sold and downloaded by your customers while you sleep!
Resell E-books to Earn Money
If you don't want to write your own e-books, you can also create a cash system and enjoy financial freedom by reselling e-books that others have written. With this type of home business, you will purchase rights to various e-books, sometimes hundreds of them, and resell them as your own products. Keep in mind that other companies will likely be selling these titles as well. But the Internet is so big, there's plenty of room for everyone!
Some companies provide business opportunities in which you'll receive a number of benefits along with hundreds of e-books to resell. These opportunities may cost a little up front, but are definitely worth the investment for starting your own home business. The e-book products alone can generate a very healthy cash system for years to come.
As with any home business, selling e-books will take some time to build and promote. But once the ball's rolling, you'll enjoy financial freedom and success like never before!
No Money! Does It Really Matter? (Free E-Books)
I never thought I would give away both E-Books again, but I keep getting emails asking for it so why not give it away again - You know my rules if it helps you be sure to return the favor and help another!
This time my offer of both E-Books will not expire!
Many investors think that money (or lack of money) is what stops them from closing a deal. This MYTH is one of the most limiting things that holds some investors back. Understand that money is NEVER an issue—IF the deal is right.
You can use the seller’s existing financing for part of the purchase price. Buying "subject to" you only have to fund the money for the seller’s equity! You can get a cash buyer and do a simultaneous close or flip your deal to the buyer for a cash assignment fee. You can sell your contract to another investor, again for a cash assignment fee. You can borrow the money from a private party lender at an interest rate higher than a bank would pay.
You can find a source to back you financially can be a daunting process but the rewards can be great!
Try searching your public records at the local county office and look for property that has been recently sold by HUD, VA, FNMA or any REO "Real Estate Owned" Lender foreclosed property.
If the buyer of this type of property made a purchase of several properties you may have hit pay dirt for a financial backer or at the least someone who you can locate real estate for a assignment fee.
The deeds should give the mailing address of the buyer. You could send them out a letter and tell them about your flipping/bird dogging business or just give them a telephone call if they are in the book.
John Michael's Simple Rules
* If you have an appointment show up on time
* Be A Professional
* Pay attention
* Be truthful
* Every "No" Only Makes You Closer To "Yes"
* Don't be attached to the outcome
* No Money! Does It Really Matter? NO!
Who & Where are Investors? Anyone with money
- People with money are always looking for a good return! Doctors and Lawyers make a good source along with foreclosure sales, as most who attend are investors.
You can also go with what is called "Hard Money" this generally refers to privately placed loans as opposed to institutional loans, which usually have more stringent underwriting guidelines, for both the type of property used as collateral and the credit worthiness of the borrower.
The most compelling reasons for using hard moneylenders are:
1. Less time involved
2. Less qualifying to close your transactions!
Equity lender, hard money lender, private investor or what ever term one uses can be a great source of funds to do real estate transactions and the question of how to find them comes up often!
There are numerous ways to do this, and no two investors are exactly alike, so it's important to be innovative and customize your proposal to the specific "hot buttons" for each funding source.
One of the greatest advantages of real estate investing is the power of leveraging other people's money.
Any one who has money could be a source of funds for your real estate purchases.
Another great source is checking your recorders office again looking for individuals who holds mortgages on property. This has provided me a great source for hard money loans.
Simply think creatively, go to the source of funds and simply ask for money. The worst that can happen is you get a "NO". Each no only places you closer to a "YES".
There are small companies and individual investors willing to invest in your investing projects. Many do charge high interest and points, but it is simply the availability of money, not the cost that you are looking for when you buy, rehab and resale "Flip" real estate for a profit.
You will find no typical transaction when it comes to hard moneylenders but listed below are some norms:
* Interest rates: 10 to 18 percent
* Balloon payment: typical, usually due after 1 or 2 years
* Most only will want a first mortgage
* Loan-to-value ratios run from 50 to 65 percent and in some cases as much as 80% under special circumstances
* Points can range from 3 to 10
* You will most likely have to pay the closing costs and due diligence
* And commitment fees ranging from 1/3% to 1% of the loan amount
Hard moneylenders are private individuals and small local companies that operate in making loans to the desperate or needy investors the same way regular banks and brokers service traditional customers.
Now keep in mind the people are not going to back you financially just because you think it's a great deal but following the below listed guidelines can help in this process.
A property purchase project that is clear, concise, realistic, and honest will get investors attention.
Do understand they do not deal in dreams but in fact and profit. You must show them that the project is viable, limited risk, and above all you must have your profit exit Strategy clear and concise.
Most will be looking for experience in you (This can come in your displayed confidence in your project).
You have to get them to believe in your abilities and your feasibility to carry out the project. You should provide them a business plan and you should provide them a project plan.
The more details on the property you provide the better off you will be.

How Do I Make My Own Ebook Cover?
If you have an eBook that you would like to sell, you probably already know that having a graphical image of your book dramatically increases sales. Potential buyers feel better about purchasing something that has the appearance of being tangible even though it is really just a file they will download.
Paying others to develop your eBook cover for you is expensive. Many of the software packages available that design cover graphics for you create covers that look very cheap. This can actually lead to a decrease in sales! The automatic creation of good-looking covers is a myth. To get a good, high-quality graphic, you are going to have to design one yourself with graphic software.
Once you decide to make your own eBook cover, you need to choose a graphic software package to use. Most professional graphic designers use Photoshop. But Photoshop is very expensive. For an excellent and free alternative, there is software called The GIMP. You can download the GIMP for free at http://www.gimp.org.
If you are making 2D cover images, you will open a new layer with the correct dimensions of a book cover, such as 500 width by 700 length. You can then continue to add layers of images and text, and apply a host of various effects to each. For example, you can make an image semi-transparent, and then put the text in front of it.
GIMP uses a concept called "Layers". Think of layers as being a clear piece of plastic on which you place your image or text. You can have as many layers as you want, and arrange them in any order, so that some images can appear in front of others. Using Layers will allow you to continue to play with your image, manipulating it until your eBook cover looks just the way you want it. Then you can save your project as an image file, such as JPEG.
If you want to make the cool-looking 3D covers, you can find step-by-step instructions at Make eBook Covers. The tutorial walks through each step of creating the front, spine, and top edge, how to rotate the image properly, and add reflections and shadows.

Create a PDF Ebook - For a Beginner, by a Beginner
If you are going to create a PDF ebook, you are going to need a software program to help you do this. This article does two things. First, the article helps the beginner understand the Adobe software package and how it relates to ebooks. Second, it provides a free alternative for creating your own PDFs. Since this was my first attempt at creating a PDF, this article was written for a beginner, by a beginner.
This is my general understanding of Adobe and how this company relates to PDF ebooks.
Adobe Systems created the portable document format (PDF) in 1993.
Adobe Acrobat is a family of computer programs created by Adobe Systems. According to Wikipedia, they were "designed to view, create, manipulate and manage files in Adobe's portable document format (PDF)".
Adobe Reader is one of the programs within the Adobe Acrobat family. You can download Adobe Reader for free. This software is used to view and print PDF ebooks.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is the software package needed to create PDF files. At the time of this writing this package cost $299.00. (You can also use Pro $449.00 or Pro Extended $699.00).
In summary, if you would like to read PDF ebooks you can download for free, Adobe Reader. If you would like to create PDF ebooks as well, then you need to purchase one of Adobes software packages, such as Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
Since I know that I would like to create PDF files, I have decided that I will need a software package to do this. I do not however, want to spend $299.00 to create my first PDF ebook. Adobe looks like a great product and a package that I may buy in the future, but for my first project, I would like to do this as simply and as cheaply as possible.
OpenOffice
I recently found out about a product called OpenOffice, similar to Microsoft Office. This is free software which can be downloaded at openoffice.org. I found this product via a "You Tube" video. After watching the video, I visited the website at instantebookpublishing.com. The website provides information about ebooks and includes a copy of the video mentioned above. It's a great nine minute video that walks you through creating your first PDF with OpenOffice.
I have recently put this product to the test. I downloaded the software from OpenOffice and used it to create my first PDF ebook. Creating the ebook took less than an hour following the simple instructions from the video. Again, this was my first PDF and it took less than an hour.
The PDF included internal links and one external link. The internal links allowed me to jump from a table of contents directly to the chapter I wanted to read. The external link was simply a link to my website. Creating these links were very easy and the video shows you how.
So, I was able to create a PDF ebook at no cost by using the following:
1) Open Office - the word processor allows me to create PDF files.
2) instantebookpublishing.com - nine minute video showing how to use OpenOffice to create a PDF.
3) Adobe Reader - allows me to read the ebook (even though not created with Adobe).
From start to finish, it took less than two hours.
At this point, my PDF ebook is very basic, but since it took me only a couple of hours and I learned a great deal, I am very happy with my results. I hope you have the same success.

Write an Ebook Tips - How to Write Your First Ebook in Only 30 Days Or Less
Writing your first ebook might seem like a difficult thing to do, especially if you have never written so much as an article or short report in your life. But like anything in life, the process will go much more smoothly once you learn the basics of ebook writing.
The key to writing your first draft in under 30 days is to organize yourself, create a clear plan for your writing and dedicate yourself to the process. This last part, dedication, really is the key to your success.
If you want to write your first draft in under 30 days, here are the things you need to do and the questions you need to answer:
Why are You Writing Your Ebook?
There are lots of reasons to write an ebook and your specific reason will dictate the kind of ebook you write. If you are writing because you want to share your knowledge or promote a business, there is a certain kind of product you will write.
If you want to make money through selling ebooks, then you will write another kind and so on. At this point, it is not important to go through the different types of ebooks, just write down your reasons for wanting to write your first one - make money, share your knowledge, drive traffic to your website, make affiliate sales, etc.
Keep those reasons handy as they will provide inspiration in the coming days as you write your first draft.
What are You Writing About?
Your topic is what you will be writing about. Now there are thousands of topics you can write about, but I would strongly urge you to write about something you are passionate about or know a lot about.
The more you know about your topic, the easier it is going to be to write about it. Most would-be authors get stuck with writer's block because they attempt to write about a subject they know nothing about.
What is Your Sexy Title?
By sexy, I mean interesting and eye-catching. You want a title that is going to grab your potential reader and get them to want to hear more.
Some of my favorite titles to use as great examples are:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad
- The One Minute Millionaire
- The Millionaire Next Door
- Fat Loss 4 Idiots!
Brainstorm a couple of great titles and write them down right now.
Who are You Writing For?
Besides yourself of course, who are you writing for? Who is your ideal reader or constant reader as Stephen King likes to call them.
When you know who you are writing to - beginner, advanced pro, casual interest person - you can easily figure out how much information to leave in or cut out of your writing.
I usually will write to my ideal reader when I am working on my first draft. I figure out what I have to explain in detail and what they should know already when writing one of my how-to products.
Create Your Detailed Outline
Now that the "why's" and the "what's" are out of the way, you are just one more step away from writing your ebook. First, you need a tightly written writing or table of contents. This will serve to keep you on track when you write.
My best tip for creating an outline is to take a blank piece of paper and a pen and think of your topic. Ask yourself, how you are going to solve this specific problem for your readers?
What is the first thing your reader will need to do?
Write the step down. What is the second thing they need to do? Write that step down too. Keep going with this process until you have all the main things listed on your piece of paper.
Write Your Own Ebook - Time to Write
Once you have your outline, you have nothing left to do but write. Here is what you need to do to ensure success:
- Keep your outline handy and open up your MS Word document.
- Pick a sub-topic from your outline.
- Just start writing on that topic. Do not over-think this process. Just choose a topic, think about it for just a moment and write down what your reader needs to know about it. Just 3 to 4 sentences for each sub-topic should be your goal.
Why? Because your reader really just wants the facts and they want them immediately. They want to learn how to solve their problem and fast!
The perfect way to get to a quick solution to your reader is to keep your writing short and to the point. I like to target 25 to 40 pages in my special reports or short ebooks.
You Must Stay Focused
Stick with your outline and do not add any more topics or sub-topics. If you do not stick to your outline, you will never finish your first draft.
Write Every Day
Target to write about 5 double-spaced pages per day. Over the course of 30 days, that is 150 pages. This amount of material is way more than you need, but it is better to have more content than too little during the editing stage.
As you can see, your daily writing really adds up over time, so a realistic goal could be to finish your writing in 10 days and have a 50 page ebook. Pick a page goal that makes the most sense for you, your ability and the time you have to devote daily to your writing.
Reminder: Only Write a Little on Each Topic
How long it takes you to write your first draft all comes down to how much you write on any given topic in your outline. I try to focus on just a few sentences per sub-topic and you should too. You will finish your ebook in well under 30 days and your reader will thank you for just getting to the point. It is a win/win situation for the both of you!
So remember, stay focused with your writing. Give the reader the information they need and move onto the next topic.

"After the Leaves Fall" by Nicole Baart
Beverly Mitch from the TV series "7th Heaven" said, "I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers-the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and the rumors." In After The Leaves Fall, Julia Bakker from rural Iowa spent her teenage years trying to escape the gossip of a small town. Julia became familiar with loss at an early age, her mother left at the age of 9 and her Dad died at the age of 16. The last thing Julia wanted was pity; Thomas who was a few years older than her, was the only person she formed a close relationship with.
Julia had a chance to reinvent herself when she moved away to attend college. She majored in Engineering and tried everything she knew to become the person she wished she was. After just one semester of college a wrong decision derails her dreams. She is left moving back in with her Grandmother and facing an uncertain future.
This is a powerful, emotional story of how God never lets you go, even if you walk away. This book touched me deeply. One of the many powerful scenes in the book is when Julia has returned from college to visit her Grandmother. Julia was avoiding the topic of not attending church in awhile, then her Grandmother said unexpectedly, "You don't have to go to church with me Julia, God is seeking you out, and I am willing to trust His timing."
This is not a book you read, but a book you feel. This book will touch your heart while sharing in Julia's coming of age story. I strongly recommend this first time author, Nicole Baart. I can guarantee you, I will be in line for her second book.
