If you haven’t heard from me in a while, it has been because we’ve been doing double duty at ALVA, averaging the release of a book a month for the last three months. Since January we have published Helmy Parlente Kusuma’s travelogue love story Mementoes of Mai; Betty Hampel’s story of love and adventure, Odd Road Out; and readied for release in September two others. The first is an autobiographical anthology of poetry by North Country poet laureate, Jean Arleen Breed, Adirondack Paper Girl. The second it a children’s book, illustrated and written by Cathy Caminero called The Healing Patch: A Child’s Guide to Happiness.
Meantime the office staff has taken on two new faces so that now we are four. The website and pricing system for aspiring writers and established authors is currently being completely revamped to increase user friendliness and to decrease rates to better fit the writer’s needs.
Watch for an all new ALVA come September when we show the world we really mean it when we say, “Cherish the writer . . . Enchant the reader.”
