My Mom always had a clothes Line on our screened in porch, where in the Winter, she would hang our clothes to dry. In the cold Winter Months, my dad would always place a Little space heater on the porch for our clothes to dry. My Dad would always sit and Listen to the White socks base ball game, everyday after he came home from work and help my Mom and Grandmother close the Cafe that they operated. We had a Nice size yard, with fruit trees and a Nice grape vine in the back yard. I Remember coming home from school on some days smelling my Mother cooking White Northern beans and corn bread. We would Always have a Blackberry Cobbler or Banana pudding for dessert. My Grandmother would always bring Chicken-N-dumplings from Our Cafe that we owned.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
