They came to test man...Is he a worthy specimen?
Some say the destiny of man has always been in his own hands. Given his superior intellect through eons of evolution, he remains unchallenged on Earth. What he is, what he thinks, what he does and where he wants to go are all indisputable facts totally within his control, right? Not so fast. He is about to find out that there are others in the universe that have a lot more to say about him and his ultimate destiny. Many have also said that they know man’s heart and his desires, as evidenced by all the great teachings and writings over the past five millennium. But knowing all this, can it lead him to even greater understanding and enlightenment? Project Earth: Vice or Virtue provides a fascinating account of aliens coming to Earth to ‘test’ mankind’s ability to join the High Council of Sentients, the highest order in the universe. Man must prove that he is worthy and can overcome his inherent moral weaknesses to do so. So join this exciting, fast-paced alien commander’s journey and witness his test to see if man can overcome his weaknesses that continue to plague his earthly existence. Seven mesmerizing human interest stories provide the reader with compelling evidence about his pride, lust, gluttony, envy, wrath, sloth and greed (the ‘seven deadly sins’). Be prepared for his shocking, intergalactic recommendation to the High Council of Sentients.

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
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.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
