Adobe® Has the Hottest News in Town
Adobe® is making news again - this time with a game-changing announcement. Earlier this month at their annual Adobe Max conference, they changed the industry with the announcement that they will no longer be offering perpetual licenses of their software. Creative Suite 6 (CS6) is the end of the Creative Suite product line. All future software and updates will be available on a subscription basis through their Creative Cloud (CC). They are offering incentive pricing to move to the Cloud if purchased by July 31, 2013.

DDP Helps First-Time
Authors through the Jungle

May people have an idea for a book but never quite get to the process of publishing it. The book might be about their business, technical knowledge, a hobby, the history of a family or organization, or a work of fiction. Regardless of the subject, one thing remains constant - the prospective author gets lost in the jungle of the publishing process.

No worries, mate! We've gone ahead with our machete and cleared a path for you.

My Poems by Cindy HayWe recently helped a first-time author through the jungle, publishing My Poems by Cindy Hay with photography by Terry Caudill.  My Poems is a mixture of spiritual, fun and personal reflections, giving the reader a glimpse into Cindy's heart. We helped Cindy with proofreading, image editing, layout, cover design, printing and distribution. All proceeds go to benefit Ekklesia Revived Prayer Center in Norwalk, OH. Copies may be purchased here.
