Helpers along this novel path

Colleagues on the path:

We are delighted to announce the publication of Tulku Sherdor's A Path Strewn with Flowers and Bones: A Memoir with the Reflections of Tulku Sherdor. Published by Blazing Wisdom, it tells the compelling story of Tulku Sherab Dorje’s life journey and thirty years in the dharma, including twelve years serving at the feet of Lama Sang, His Holiness Orgyen Kusum Lingpa. Forward by Tulku Hung Kar Dorje Rinpoche.

Tulku Sherdor was touched by the spirit of our trilogy that finds "the heart of wisdom within," and contributed his endorsement for the back cover of Volume III, The Twelfth Age.

This resource page makes available friends, colleagues, associations and affiliates with Blooming Rose Press. Unlike a "link farm," each link represents those with whom we work and with whom we have formed relationships.

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 authors - A comprehensive link index to Snow Lion Publication authors makes teachings available from a variety of sources. Just click on their logo below to access this wealth of information.

The Green Press Initiative - The Green Press Initiative is a non-profit program dedicated to saving trees and natural resources through increasing the use of recycled paper in the book publishing sector.

Mt. Shasta Herb & Health - At your online apothecary, investigate high quality herbs, supplements, tinctures and more, through this spirit-raising store owned and lovingly operated by our friends Linda and Lillian. Click on their storefront to visit them.

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 for 15 years, turned over the helm on July 1, 2008 to Kim Padilla who has worked there for eight years, and her husband Tony Padilla. They are maintaining the same tradition, offering an online service as well. They make available a wide range of books, and specialize in spiritual and metaphysical topics, as well as a variety of books about Mount Shasta. Village Books carries The Third Verse Trilogy too!

Silverlining Publishing - 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 Zinkand 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. Now, May of 2013, Leanne has found her passion unfolding in her new enterprise, a small publishing company. Click here to visit Silverlining Publishing.

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.

Friends in the business of self-publishing:

Do you have a book in you or on paper or disk, and wonder when and how you could ever get it published? Here are some resources that enable pursuit of self-publishing or that may offer connections with independent publishers.

Independent Book Publishers Association (formerly Publishers Marketing Association) - the largest non-profit trade association representing independent publishers of books, audiobooks, and e-books.

Thanks to IBPA, Blooming Rose Press has 1) been honored as a finalist in their 2002 Benjamin Franklin awards program in the category of Cover Design - 3 or more color (6x9 or smaller); 2) been exhibited in their booth at BookExpo America and American Library Association shows; 3) appeared in spring and fall issues of Publishers Weekly; and 4) appeared in their mailings to reviewers and to bookstores.

Dan Poynter and Para Publishing - If we hadn't happened across a used edition of Dan's The Self-Publishing Manual, it would have been much harder to be where we are now, with a trilogy in the making.

Click here to tap into abundant resources for publishing your book.

Products for wisdom seekers:

Both natural and prismatic crystals enhance our spiritual paths in obvious and subtle ways. In our office I keep a natural crystal formation near my computer monitor and a collection of prismatic crystals hangs in the window behind to shower rays of the cosmic spectrum over the workplace. There are so many other ways in which crystals are used, from wearing them to becoming aligned with crystals inside the earth.

Jim's Crystals - Bring celestial rainbows into your home or office, or give as gifts. Long-time friend Jim collects and sells the finest Swarovski crystal prisms at near wholesale prices! These are the best rainbow making crystals available! He has unusual pieces that are difficult to find as well as extra large versions of many popular shapes at 40% below retail.

Our host:

Our web host is making a free ebook available called Make Your Links Work. We, too, wondered what they meant by saying, "SEO is doomed -- it's important for small business marketeers to understand that, and to adapt to that coming reality NOW." Because of our workload, we've been known to ignore fine-tune web site work. But not this. For this cutting-edge information, click here. If you have considered developing your own web site to invite viewers to your small business venture or to explore your field of expertise, you will not want to come to a decision without investigating this opportunity which you can test-drive for free by clicking here.

You are about to make one of the most important decisions of your life. We can testify that SiteSell.com delivers. Be sure not to hurry through your exploration of the array of options in web hosting and related services. We recommend a close look at what SiteSell.com offers.

This site would not have been possible without the resources of the folks at SiteSell.com, the home of Site Build It! They host our web site. We are our own webmasters without knowledge of HTML, javascript, Search Engine mastery, etc., solely due to the magical mentoring and resources available from SBI! Wisdom dictates that if you need affordable web presence, you should explore their options that eliminate hundreds...perhaps thousands...of work hours. Click on the button to investigate.
