For the Upcoming Writer-Advice from a Publisher- I decided to write this book to fill a need in the marketplace. Not many publishers are willing to offer insider tips to help up and coming authors with the publishing process. In fact, most publishers send out nothing more than form rejection letters with no help or suggestions for improving the author’s chances of getting a book deal. As a publisher and author, I’m spilling the secrets about what publishers want and what no one in the industry will tell you. This book is short, sweet, and to the point.  Written by Lacey L. Bakker, Cover design by Alex Goubar available here: https://pandamoniumpublishing.com/product/advice-from-a-publisher-insider-secrets-for-getting-your-work-published/

For the Realist(Non-fiction) Acts of RemembranceRevolution is in our land.  In Amsterdam and Rotterdam, cannons stand on every street corner.  A Curfew is at 7:30, but the people are standing by the front door listening to others who are rioting. The rioters are so fed up with things they are marching through the street singing. For punishment, they have no light or water. It was not smart. Many were shot. Now, what do you do? A death sentence is carried out on everyone who does not obey. These words are straight from the pages of a young girl’s (Engelina Aasman Hummel) diary during the Second World War. They are true, haunting, and raw. Acts of Remembrance is a book that you’ll never forget. Written by K.G. Watson and Engelina Aasman Hummel available here: https://pandamoniumpublishing.com/product/acts-of-remembrance-by-k-g-watson-and-engelina-aasman-hummel/

Please partner with us in this crucial initiative as 12 million Canadians are currently illiterate. This collection is suitable for young readers ages 4-8 depending on the reading level and includes themes such as teamwork, kindness, differences in ability, unconditional love, adventure, and friendship! The children will also receive a handwritten note from one of the authors talking about the importance of books while inviting them to participate in a virtual classroom author visit!

Thank you for your continued support of small businesses and Canadian authors, illustrators, and artists. Happy Holidays!

Currently, this option is for adults only, but I’m sure we’ll have something for kids in the works, soon!

We read a ton of books around here, last year the total was sixty! We read everything from non-fiction, self-help, business development, mystery, romance, thrillers, all types of fiction, and basically anything that we can get our hands on.

Our surprise book is shipped out every month on the 5th. Your book comes gift wrapped for an extra element of fun! Here’s how the program works:

  1. Go to SHOP at the top of this page
  2. Click on the MYSTERY BOOK OF THE MONTH option
  3. Enter your payment and shipping info
  4. Wait for your surprise book to come in the mail

That’s it! Pretty simple and there are no subscriptions required if you want to join one month but not the next, no problem, the choice is yours!

As an added bonus, there will be a list of questions emailed to you for discussion with us or your book club. We’ll review each book on our site as well. This makes a fabulous and unique gift for the hard to buy for person in your life…we all have one;)
