FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 15, 2011 – “…Roxana Jones did an excellent job bringing Sybil’s story to life. I felt as if I knew her personally. She also described the Guardian Angels in such a way that I could see them in my mind’s eye, Sybil was a remarkable woman and this is a remarkable book.”

- IndieReader.com

MIAMI, FL. – July 15th, 2011 – In her debut novel, While I Was Learning to Become God, published by Tapuat Publishing, Author Roxana Jones shows us how a woman can transform herself thanks to her own resilience and convictions.

In her novel, Roxana Jones outlines a story told by her dying friend, Sybil Vaughan. It begins in the Caribbean island where Sybil grows and imagines a perfect world filled with fantasy and magic; this peaceful setting soon fades away to be replaced by social and religious strictures. Trapped in a gilded cage as she becomes a woman, dramatic events force a spiritual transformation as she starts to experience a whole new life as a result of her efforts to change her thoughts and heal her heart.

Set in contemporary America, the story shows how a meaningless life dedicated to the ephemeral and mundane, can be transformed into a marvelous experience of love; that is, self-love. Lying on her death bed, Sybil relates her long struggle to overcome alienation, false values and reconcile herself to the most difficult decision throughout her life; at age 33, she leaves everything behind to rediscover her true, inner self.

Written in a fresh, original style, the incredible and otherworldly accounts can inspire readers to find new opportunities for personal growth and healing. While I Was Learning to Become God is a revelatory drop in the ocean of change; it offers new meaning and hope for humanity’s empowerment and success.

In the first volume of While I Was Learning to Become God: The Four Elements of Life (June 15th; Tapuat Publishing; $8.49, softcover, 240 pages – ISBN: 978-1-937296-00-1; $2.99, e-book) the author captivates with the materialistic life of Sybil, the heroin. The second volume The Fifth Element of Love (June 15th; Tapuat Publishing; $9.49, softcover, 228 pages – ISBN: 978-1-937296-04-9; $3.99, e-book) brings us into the discovery of her new life, liberated from her old beliefs and lack of self-love.

A new video exploring the content of the book has been made available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69i64VuS1o

The E-book Revolution is upon us!

Posted on Jun 2nd, 2011 in Blog | 1 comment

Whether we like it or not, the e-book offer is the future of the industry and just like it happened with the music sector and all other media, it is going to revolutionize the years to come and the way publishers, authors and the like, do business together.

As publishers, we need to think digital, we need to think big and very soon, we will have to imagine products that mix our author’s writings altogether with multimedia content!

In february 2011, the number of ebooks sold outpaced the ones of their printed counterpart on Amazon.com! In May 2011, the EPUB ebook format, a reknown standard used by Barnes and Noble’s Nook reader for instance (and soon, Kindle reader offered by Amazon too), reached a new version of its format that includes, among other things, the capacity to add images and videos into the ebook!

In no time a book will be synonym of a multimedia experience where an image, which is worth a thousand words according to people’s lore, will compete with videos that are currently expressing richer contents to the public.

This way, book publishers become multimedia moguls a la Time Warner or a la Disney, offering multi-type content, capturing more attention from readers and, why not, bringing back a market that has lost interest in the word, by offering them good stories wherever they might be: through their mobile phones, PCs, or even through a TV that is displayed at any store of the local mall!

When push come to shove, publishers as well as authors, must step into this revolution and change not only their thought patterns but also integrate new ways of doing business and becoming technologically savvy to be able to thrive into these new dimensions.

As an independent publishing company and a small press, we believe in the words and stories we promote: stories of love that must reach the widest audience. As such we need to adapt ourselves to the new trends and likings of our potential markets by offering the best content we can fathom.

Obviously, this new world made out of words, images, videos and bits that blend into the emerging new business paradigm, needs a new know-how capable of offering new possibilities and marketing tools that increase manifold the potential for any ‘product’. It might sound like a daunting task to say the least, but fear of the unknown is only an illusion! Fabulous opportunities are unveiling and it is our mission to explore them!

Arnaud Saint-Paul started his path of self-discovery 25 years ago. Through his writings he shares his inner self expansion and so, he continues to develop his true passion: To be and bring love to the world. He also recently co-founded a new generation publishing company which aims at promoting new type of contents while helping authors, small presses and others, to step into the new world of digital publishing.
