In The News: Prescott Daily Courier

Local couple dives into online publishing

By DIXIE EDDY
Special to the Courier

Pam Clark went looking for her father, only to find herself immersed in a different world altogether.

A retired bank fraud investigator, Pam’s search resulted in the writing of her father’s biography, “…but they call me Sonny.”

Not to be outdone, her husband Norm retired from running the couple’s small business and wrote a CIA spy adventure, “Resurrected.”

Writing the books was one thing, getting them published – and sold – was quite another. At first, Pam worked through an online publishing company, spent $2,000 in the process and received no editing help.

In The News: Chino Valley Review

Congratulations Kris! Kris was one of my students who completed my class, “Easy Secrets To Self-Publishing for Kindle & Nook: Make Extra Money From Your Creativity & Passion” in September of this year. Kris had her cookbook ready to go but was unsure how to publish it for Kindle and Nook.

Just FIVE HOURS after completing the course, Kris was hitting “Publish” on her eBook!

She cooks from scratch for health

Busy is not the word for Kris Mazy of Chino Valley. She is the mother of seven children aged 5 to 14, four of whom she home schools. The other three are in public school. Besides being a wife and mother, canning all her own food from her large garden, and cooking all her food from scratch, she has managed during those years to work at her father’s gun store each day, worked to get an art degree from Yavapai college, and this fall, she received her BA in Education from Liberty University.

“People ask me ‘how do you do all this,’ and I say, well, I have 14 little extra hands that help me, as all the kids help out in the kitchen,” Kris said.
