According to a website: “Creating a book giveaway function does nothing but increase you and your book’s visibilities. Meaning that it is very necessary. Amazon has created a book-giveaway-channel that would allow authors to create reading contests, and choose their winner(s).”
As life brings me more trials, I’ll “digest” them and turn them into spiritual articles and essays for others just trying to get through the day on this difficult path we call life.
God willing.
I encourage you to try your hand at writing for God. Examine your life. Read the Bible–or whatever religious guide to which you aspire. Pray about it. I’m sure He will assist you.

Just read all the issues around CreateSpace. I’m new to this business, and was reformatting my book for POD on CreateSpace. In 2015, I pulled up my first book and found, on the Amazon website, my book and author name with a different cover, all distributed throughout Amazon’s network from a different account unrelated to me.
Pissed off…..I got no help from their ‘legal team’ or anyone else.
Wrote to Jeff Bezos regarding copyright infringement, so Amazon pulled my book, but I had to make sure all books were pulled from their distribution. Hard to tell if I got them all. Told Jeff it’s ridiculous that they can literally track a lipstick/etc. I purchase from them, but cannot control their book accounts. B….S…..!

Way back in the 1980’s, after graduating high school, I went to work for my father’s plumbing company. For over twenty years, I made my living as a plumber until my body began to break down. After two shoulder surgeries and a chronic back problem, I realized it was time to find a new line of work.
CreateSpace is a mess. The process to get the proof is no problem. Everything was going swell until I ordered 50 copies on the 9th of January and chose expedited shipping. They shipped it standard, then it took 5 days to print the book, then another 5 days to get it to USPS. Then it was sent off, only to be delayed another 2 days. Now it’s the 20th and I need it for a book signing on the 23rd and there’s no way it’s getting from Pennsylvania to Lafayette, Louisiana in 2 days. Hopefully your service will be done correctly.
For the past four years, Max (age 14) and Mason (age 10) have been attending a local homeschooling group at the museum in Bradenton and they’ve loved every minute of it.
