When will Book 1 be published?

Just another update

I maybe looking at next summer before I am able to fund myself the needed 3 thousand for the basic needs of self publishing as stated in other postings.

With work, business and other issues any extra funds I can earn will need to go towards these issues 1st. Priorities are a fact of living.

Eventually I will be able to earn the funds on my own, will just take a good while it seems before book 1 is published.
Book 2 in in the works, but been on hold a while due to the above issues of lifes needs.

To have a dream is good, to work it as best we can is important and needed. However when life hands you trials and issues one if forced to deal with 1st then the dreams have always been put aside to deal with the realities of life.
This does not eliminate the goal nor the dreams however life does have a way of postponing them.


I look forward to being able to finally self-publish some day in the future. That is an eventuality that will happen for sure. Just not sure when.

Progress update to publishing book 1

Update: 

I been thinking this through a good while, I am thinking of delaying publishing until I have book pro edited. Meaning it will be fine tuned thus should be a better final product. 

So that will mean the $ I save up for the Publishing will go towards the editing 1st. 
Then will have to save up more $ for the publishing. 

Total costs for these items with the quality companies I have researched about for the last few years now and have chosen to use for self publishing will be $3000.00 so that is my new savings goal. 

I have had a $60.00 private donation so now with life's trials taking most of my own savings that leaves the new bottom line at the bottom of this post called New Totals and currently left for this project.

So that leaves $2700.00 Goal left to save. Hope some of the night / after work side jobs this next month or two will be able to add a 2 or 300 do the savings. Will be a slow go at it, but in the end I will get this polished and published. 

I do at times become impatient about it, but in the end doing both these things will hopefully be a better product to the readers and that after all is the goal. Like in my Drywall or Decorative Plasters if its not worth doing it the right way the 1st time its not worth doing. So even though I wonder if and when this will ever be published I know in the future some day as I keep struggling though life's challenges I will succeed. Just a matter of time.

Will give those who visit a update on how its going as things change.

Total needed $3000.00

+ Savings/Donations 3/30/2015 = $60.00
   New total                 4/04/2015 = $100.00
   New total                 4/19/2015 = $300.00
   New total                 4/22/2015 + $800.00
                                              
New Update:
 As of 3/30/2015 updated car repairs in order to have 2 working vehicles takes all current personal savings, as well as future extra night jobs incomes for a few months or more.
May have to wait until next year 2016's tax return to have book edited, then 2017's tax return to publish. At current life happenings.) 

04/19/2015 In the last several weeks I have been called to do some side work, after hours drywall patches, repairs, emergency stuff. Thus I have been able to raise more funds by working late into the nights. If this continues then I will be able to save more for the editing and publishing. I hope to add more to the total by next weekend.

- Remaining needed $2200.00

7/11/2015
Helping daughter remodel a place for a little store all funds have gone to help and weeknights, week ends spent helping. Priorities are family. So some day in the future after the store is open I will focus on this project earnings again.

Progress on the Country Nook, sceduled opening July 24 2015

01/22/2016 Update:
Well due other life events I am now at -0-
So Starting over saving.
In the future I might try my own fund raiser of some kind.
Not sure.

Some day I will figure out how to get this dream done.

Kickstarter.com project = Dud... 29 hrs left = failed it would seem. So Next!


Kickstarter.com project = Dud... failed it would seem with less than 29 hrs left. So Next!


It would seem from this experiance that you need to Hire the pro crowd funding agencies and pay them to make crowd funding work.

Since I had/have -0- income to hire such companies this has not been successful despite all the things I did on my own.

So Next! Maybe next year I can save up a few thousand dollars to promote another crowd funder (tax return) , maybe try pubslush.com designed more for publishing.
 
Mean time will hope to sell a 1014 Hesston hydroswing swather 1979 for I hope 1800.00 , if I can I will epublish the book before Christmas on my own through Bookbaby.com they have been really helpful and have earned it. As well as a book print of 100 copies when I can find that funding, most likely the tax return, so by next April I should have at least the 1st 100 printed copies available.

thanks to the few who showed interest.

NEXT! We never Give up..

Purpose of this site: Pure Heart Guide "Lev Antas Shuesa"

The purpose of this site is to share some about my book, as well as search for funding to publish this story to the world. Kickstarter.com is where I am creating an account to assist with fund raising if my project is accepted you will be able to follow the link there to learn more about helping to fund this project.
 This is a new experience for me. But those who have read the 1st book in the series of 5 agree it should be published.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

01-05-2013 Update: Book One is done. Now begins the journey of finding a publisher and funding. A few more things must be done before I am ready for the Kickstarter.com program to see if funds could be raised there. 

08-20-2012 Update: Book One is nearing the finish, then I will work on some cover art for the book.
Then I shall make sure I have everything ready for the Kickstarter.com program before I finish my account there.

Note: If successful with fund raising via kickstarter.com when the time comes, I will then search out a good publisher, hope one who is honorable in all ways. Then I will go from there as I have but one shot so must make it the best one we can.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       
Does one ever know what is really out there? How many places has human kind actually explored on this planet we call Earth ? And yet still even after all our explorations, travels upon this Earth on land, sea, air, and even in the Heavens around our planet, There are still to this day many area's where human kind has yet to set the print of their feet.

The highly educated scholars and intellectuals of Earth in our days have even made references to and statements as recent as the early 1900's that at that time they had achieved the best human kind could ever be expected to achieve, they suggested the U.S. Patent office be closed, and indeed it was for a short time due to their belief or theory that all inventions have been created to date and there is no longer any need for the office to remain open, as we have created all that will ever be created. 
Such was the arrogance of the Elites of Government and education at that time.
What if the people had listened and choose never to Dream, never to think outside the box of the present day, what if they had listened to this small group of elites, if explorations and inventions had ceased with their declarations. Imagine would we have the modern car, truck, planes, trains, computers, internet, phones, washer & dryers, millions of idea's have been created for the benefit of all human kind since that arrogant claim was made by a small elite group.
We would be like some countries around the Earth who prohibit dreams, learning, explorations, thinking outside the box, or above their status or class. We would still be locked in the 19th century.
So, No! We must be free, we as human beings naturally seek for learning, growing and to find a way to fulfill our dreams.
We must all have our minds remain open ever stretching, searching, exploring the possibilities of our dreams, for thus is how the human soul evolves into what it is intended to become.

Such with much sadness are the beliefs of some of the world’s elite and high minded folks. After much education they seem to become blinded to any possible truths, beliefs, explorations, or the possibilities for learning or discovering new things, new ideas, and a future full of possible dreams.  Their minds are thus truly like concrete, they have become all mixed up and permanently set in their hard forms of beliefs bound together and solid not allowing any free thought or possible idea's to spring forth.

As a common man who has spent most of his life in the construction field, I find life simple and easy to understand as most common folks through out the Earth would agree.  Thus new ideas can be allowed and studied and explored to the conformation or deletion from thought after research and honest investigation has occurred.  Imagination is the creative power by which we enjoy most of all our modern and future convinces in our time now and in our children’s future's.

What if people choose not to follow their dreams? How truly sad the world would be, a very dark and dreary place indeed.
We do know that light and knowledge comes from dreams, ideas, explorations for we all grow from them.
As a plant needs food and water and sun to grow, so does the human soul need dreams, ideas, challenges to grow and to become more than we could ever think possible.  Thus the human becomes over time what it is meant to become, like a caterpillar who becomes the butterfly thus shall humans one day become more after we grow and learn through our transitions of life. Like the cocoon we shall emerge from our shell one day into the future much different than we now are.

Thus this story takes place in a way for human kind to think, to grow and explore beyond its current bounds of thinking, outside the box and beyond the common knowledge taught in common schools of education, or accepted beliefs and theories of the highly educated elites of our time.  And thus the minds and the hearts of human kind are stretched beyond normal imaginations, and into the realms of dreams.






"Lev Antas Shuesa"  (Pure Heart Guide) the beginning of a journey into humanities past, present and future.
In a small valley town of Beaver Utah with a family gathering once again for a reunion in a remote mountain valley, then several of the children go missing, a search evolves into something no one expected. It will bring each one to bear on there own mortality, who they are and open their minds to realities they never in their wildest dreams or nightmares ever considered. A rescue team embarks on a journey with much more importance than any of them could realize at the time. An old family friend turns out to be much more than any of them knew, choices must be made, a fight for good over evil ensues in this 1st book of 7 that will tell the whole story of this adventure which combines many  myths, legends, facts, and imaginations.
I hope this story helps bring into your minds the possibilities of further realities as some of the idea's contained here are brought from myths, legends, and other stories some recent some thousands of years old. Mixed with my own imagination.
Any resemblance to actual people or places is only coincidental of course and the names are a creation of my own mind. So sit back and allow yourself to drift off into the dream lands that exist between the words of this book and the creativity of your own minds eye. Everyone loves a good tale, I hope this will be worthy of becoming one for you.

I began writing this tale for the entertainment of my children, relatives, and friends. Now those who have read it, desire to know what is to be in the next volumes to come, from age's 69 to my children from 13 - 21 all are interested in the story line so it does seem to entertain a diverse group of people. And they have encouraged me to finish and publish this book. I seek funding to be able to publish this book and hope that it entertains everyone who makes the journey to explore it.
