TEST THE MARKET WITH POD

POD is a relatively inexpensive way to test the waters for your book, allowing you to print copies as needed. If your book finds a market and is selling, we can also offer you the opportunity to do an offset run, greatly reducing your cost per book.

So try one of our POD programs along with a distribution and marketing/promotion package that is second to none, and then talk to us about printing in quantity.

There are so many reasons to publish your book with Llumina Press. We offer a reputation for publishing quality books, personal service, the best author discounts in the industry and the highest royalties (ours are based on list price). In addition, we offer bookstore returnability through Ingram (and no loss in royalties) as well as bookstore representation.

 authors worldwide! Prepare yourselves for hurricanes, blizzards, and… press releases?

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006: There is a little Miss Cleo in all of us, and because of that we have the ability to prepare for what we already know will happen. We know that there will be a hurricane threat this summer. This winter we can predict a blizzard. And guess what? I’m seeing an election coming near the end of 2008 that will bring forth a new President for the USA.

JUSTICE OR VENGEANCE

FORT LAUDERDALE, JUNE 2006: 

“This book has an aura . . . very similar to that of Pulp Fiction or the newly acclaimed movie, Crash.  We don’t want to give any more of it away.  Read it, and you’ll find yourself with plenty to think about.” 

         --Anne Kersten, Twist and Shout.

SEARCHING FOR HER DESIRED HAVEN

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  “War is Hell,” so saith General William Tecumseh Sherman, an officer of the Union Army during the American Civil War.  This phrase is a truism, which is not only a fact, but a bit of an understatement.  War is more than Hell, as we discover every time another episode of hostilities erupts in our turbulent world. During the course of WW II, more efficient and deadlier weapons were invented and brought into the fray, to the dismay of all right-thinking people. In his new book, Desired Haven, Alan J. O’Reilly brings forth a dramatic reality when depicting the horrors of war, and also a compelling representation of the people who pick up the broken pieces, even while coping with traumas of their own.

LILLI-BUNNY

TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!

FORT LAUDERDALE, JUNE 2006: In this day and age, it’s become increasingly complex dealing with the daily stresses of life. For every step forward, it seems we’re often forced two steps back. There are times we can only laugh or cry, and since laughter is a ‘consummation devoutly to be wished’, we all can have the pleasure of finding an excellent sufficiency of it in Bruce Kriger’s Lilli-bunny

   NEW AUTHOR DEBUT WITH A   PULSE POUNDING, SCI-FI EPIC!
FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:
  One does not have to be a fan of the many classic sci-fi movies and television shows to truly enjoy C. C. Ekeke’s outstanding debut novel, Star Brigade: First Renaissance. Filled with three-dimensional characters that break through sci-fi stereotypes, this potent blend of traditional science fiction, military drama, and action/adventure with a slice of space opera will keep you riveted from start to finish.

A WAR ON THEIR OWN SOIL

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  It’s not often that a historical novel captures the tone, mind-set and perilous mood of the age it portrays, but Lois Glass Webb’s, The Spectre of Death Rode the Land, does it in spades. One feels involved, almost part of the action, and the characters seem like a branch of one’s own family.

The Civil War comes to the wilderness of Southeast Missouri, and John Gordon decrees the family will remain neutral, go on raising corn and hogs. Out of family duty, sons Stuart and Riley stay at the plow while friends ride off to find Confederate General Price.  Frustrated, Stuart leaves in the night to join a local guard unit.

LOOSING A LIFE TO DRUG OVERDOSE

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  The list is monumental. They come from all walks of life, although we generally know only the famous ones. Actors, actresses, musicians, sports stars…from a Playboy bunny to a long-ago evangelist. There are such names as Bela Lugosi, John Belushi, Len Bias, Lenny Bruce, Montgomery Clift, Dorothy Dandridge, Brian Epstein, Aimee Semple McPherson, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, Christopher Penn, River Phoenix, Chris Farley, W.C. Fields, Jerry Garcia, Judy Garland, Sonny Liston, Bobby Hatfield, Margaux Hemingway, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and, of course, Elvis, in the melancholy  list. In her book, Eric My Son…Lost to Drugs, Joanne Baker has followed her son’s battle in life to overcome his addiction and the ultimate, horrifying conclusion.

DO YOU REMEMBER!

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  For sure, life is a short affair. And most lives pass like ships in the night, dark and anonymous. What we remember, i.e., memories are at the center of our lives, but memories not written down quickly fade, wind up erased. For sure, history has been less kind remembering the lives of common folk. Until recently, historical writing focused mostly on the few at the top. However, modern, more democratic times have begun to challenge all that. Education, the personal computer, the Internet, the video witness, dramatic changes in television and publishing, in short, the totally new information technology, have begun to revolutionize the way history is remembered and recorded. Joost Hensen’s memoir: Oh, When We Were Young, has made an entertaining attempt in the same such direction, telling a personal tale, but also rewriting history, not only about his native Holland, but also on his new adoptive homes in Canada, America and Brazil, and about a good many other places he visited along the road of life.

trees talk

to solve a murder

Fort Lauderdale, JUNE 2006: Dorothy and the Scare Crow teased Oz's living Apple Trees into giving up their fruit, Pippin and Merry hitched a ride on Treebeard in Lord of the Rings, and convinced the forest-dwellers to help flood Isengard.

FOLLOWING THE LONG WINDING ROAD...

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  Fatty! Four-eyes! Brillo-head! Nerd!  We all know children can be cruel. To a child, being different from the norm individually and/or culturally can be grounds for daily persecution, as well as instilling fear when it comes to the unknown.  In The Long Winding Road, Lynn Broder addresses this complicated bias, and illustrates a lovely way of accepting the differences in each of us, or in the things we do, for ourselves alone.

BEWARE OF THE STRANGE LIBERATORS

FORT LAUDERDALE, JULY 2006:  No matter what your political affiliations are; whether you are right, left, somewhere in the middle, or even if you have none at all, this book is too important to ignore. It may not be easy to face these issues, but if you are an honest human being you will find the harrowing accounts in Gregory Elich’s Strange Liberators essential to understanding today’s world.
