Helpers along this novel path
Colleagues on the path:This just in: The year 2008 finds us forging stronger connections with colleagues and visitors. We are involved in a grand sweep of both right-brain and left-brain processes with the trilogy nearing its crescendo. Volume III, The Twelfth Age, is on the threshold of publication. Watch for more frequent updates of this and all pages at this popular site. Do you have a web site, and have interest in establishing links that are effective? Scroll down for cutting-edge information on Make Your Links Work, in the SiteSell information appearing near the bottom of this page. Ashoka - For those who are drawn to Buddhist wisdom as a way to live in the heart of each moment, but are bewildered about making choices from the various Buddhist traditions, a gateway web site has come to our attention. Called by Stuart Carduner - the creator of Ashoka - "an online eDharma university," students can sample teachings and pursue online courses at their own pace, at home.
Find out at www.ashokaedu.net.
Snow Lion Publications - Our favorite dharma catalog looks unusual at first glance. It's not printed on slick glossy paper (this is not recycleable in our area), but on newsprint (this is). We receive it with enthusiasm because it's more than a catalog. The Snow Lion Buddhist News & Catalog features excerpts from teachers and authors, interviews, news, and a diversified array of new and forthcoming titles, items to support dharma practice, and more. Receive 20% off all Snow Lion titles when ordering from their web site, which automatically begins your one-year subscription to their quarterly, free of charge.

Village Books - It is so rare to find an independent bookstore in a rural small town that endures through the decades, is a warm gathering place that greets one's entry with the scents of fresh coffee and pages fresh off the press, and maintains the allure every bookstore should have yet many have lost. Kathy Lancaster, owner, offers an online service as well. She makes available a wide range of books, and specializes in spiritual and metaphysical topics, as well as a variety of books about Mount Shasta. Village Books carries The Third Verse Trilogy too!

Silverlining Designs - When the question arose about how to find a graphic artist who would work cooperatively to take the elements we had decided upon for our book cover and make the other necessary decisions to create a work of art, it turned out that we had to look no farther than next-door to our office! Leanne Krause also formatted the book for us, interfaced with the printing company, and always went the extra mile. Since that time she moved to the beautiful hills above Talent, Oregon. We continue to collaborate in creation of our trilogy book covers along with a broad spectrum of publishing needs. For more about Leanne, visit our author gallery page. Click here to visit Silverlining Designs. Cope Editing - Every writer can benefit from the impartial eye of a skilled editor. Finding one an author feels comfortable with and trusts can be difficult and time-consuming. We were delighted that finally another author provided a reference to Judith Cope, who has not only helped us develop and polish The Third Verse Trilogy, but who has also raised the trilogy’s unique style into its own elegant expression.
