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.

Angels and Devils – Who is who?
FORT LAUDERDALE, January 2007: Is it conceivable that angels exist? In this doubt-everything world, there are many people who cannot imagine such a possibility. Yet, others will literally swear they’ve seen/spoken to/been touched by angels. How strange then to envision that once you, too, were an angel; beloved of God, residing in heaven and singing to the music of the spheres. Mark D. Chevalier, in his new book, Azriel, the Angel Chronicles, brings to us the fascinating prospect of life before life….
The Twin Towers’ Collapse Explained
FORT LAUDERDALE, January 2007: A dazed nation, still restlessly wondering why two seemingly indestructible skyscrapers, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, came crashing down like a house of cards after a vicious terrorist attack, are finally presented with answers. In his new book, Fire in the Skyscraper, Arthur Scheuerman puts in plain words the analysis behind this unprecedented occurrence.
Lilly White Lies and Dreams
FORT LAUDERDALE, February
2007: Poetry has the power to enlighten, lift the spirits, as
well as give insight and hope to our mundane lives. Author Lilly White, in her
book Lilly White Lies and Dreams, presents us with just such poetry. Reading
this thought-provoking book will prove more than just edifying; it will be an
experience in joyful, positive and blissful hope.
Finding Pegasus – Finding Yourself
FORT LAUDERDALE, February 2007:
Horses have been a significant part of human history since the Ice
Age. First they were hunted, for food and other elements, until
their domestication began around 8,000 BCE. While there have always
been individuals and cultures throughout the ages, who have lived in
attunement with the animal kingdom, it is only recently, relatively
speaking, that western society as a whole has begun to appreciate
the gentle, intelligent, and forgiving nature of the horse. In her
book, Finding Pegasus, Terry Church allows the reader, horse lover
and non-horse lover alike, to experience the close relationship that
can be shared by equine and human, and the important life-lessons
horses are able to provide anyone willing to listen.
Better Living Without Really Working
FORT LAUDERDALE, February 2007: It’s the
American dream. Something for nothing…or nearly nothing. Why work so
incredibly hard, sweating and slaving over the inconsequential
details when, with a little diligent studying of Greg W. Starr’s
book, Better Living Through Bureaucracy, you can become skilled at
his tricks on getting ahead with very little effort. A must for all
those who’d like to live La Bonne Vie – La Buena Vida – The Good
Life!
Meet the Beast
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: Perseverance is a wonderful thing, in the right hands. For an autistic youngster, perseverance and single-mindedness is a way of life. When an autistic child discovers something he likes to do, he can become astonishingly adept at it. Such is Nathaniel’s story. Dave Donch shares this marvelous true account with us in his book, Beast.
Across Time: Mystery of the Great Sphinx
FORT LAUDERDALE, March 2007: History is fascinating
any way you slice it. When it’s brought to life, with an enigmatic
and magical twist, it’s just that much more captivating. In his
book, Across Time: Love Eternal, O. J. Harp III brings us a story
that bridges the ages, expertly pulling you into the diverse realms
of the future as well as the distant past.
A Demon’s Choice
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: Who among us hasn’t wished for extraordinary powers at least once in their lives? Who hasn’t hungered for revenr, or an acquaintance for that matter? In hisge in response to a cruel, senseless act committed by a strange book, Demon, Craig Tweedie recounts the frightening outcome when a gentle spirit is pushed too far, trampled beneath pointless hostility, and begins to fight back.
Van Gogh’s Madness Revealed
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: Madness is not an unusual result of living. Whatever the manifestation, whatever the reasoning behind it, reports are rife throughout history about such extremists. Rarely, however, are they lauded and admired. No one can doubt that Vincent Van Gogh was mad; one does not normally cut off one’s ear as a lighthearted prank, but his insanity impelled him to create some of the most magnificent art our world has ever known. In his book, Night Café, Martin Foster shares his account of compelling possibilities for Van Gogh’s lunacy.

What a Pretty Kettle of Fish!
FORT LAUDERDALE, January 2007: In this ‘anything-goes’ world, it’s not unusual when bizarre and curious demands are made. Rather, it seems to be the norm for those in power to ask the impossible and for others of lesser importance to provide it. However, it is the combined human interaction that is so thrilling to observe. In her new book, Back from Bora Bora, Sondra Luger has brought a rambunctious and overly-full kettle to the boil, and her fortunate readers will reap the rewards.

Finding A Safe Position
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: We've all heard the stories. From the one-room country schoolhouses (which everyone walked to through 6-foot high snow drifts – uphill – both ways) to the Drop-out 60s – Me decade 70s – Greed decade 80s, etc., there have been problems with schooling in the U.S. These days our school children are far more advanced than any other generation. They're even teaching Pre-algebra to 8 year-olds! In her new book, A Safe Position, Kathleen M. Burke investigates the schooling issues with humor and honesty.
The First Atheist
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: People are asking if it's finally fashionable to be an atheist. A few bestsellers calling for an end to organized religion or touting persuasive campaigns against faith are raising doubts. Would a Godless universe be a more joyful and rational place than one fashioned by a callous designer? These questions are not really new. Doubts have always been present, but the penalties for expressing them too dire to chance the honesty. Eric Polfliet, in his book The First Atheist, enlightens us with his riveting story.
Rejoicing in a Celebration of Love
FORT LAUDERDALE, December 2006: In this age of
‘kicked-to-the-curb’ relationships, it’s refreshing to find a young

brings to us, in her book A Celebration of Love, a
heartwarming story of just such a couple. Join them as they
struggle, overcoming rather harsh circumstances, toward love
eternal.
