THE MEMOIRS OF SUMMER RAY

Greetings from Gettysburg:

An unexpected development has occured! This is The Blessing of Liberty that I am working on for a 2nd edition publication.

But what does this book have to do with Summer Ray? Well, everything. This is the book that sent me to Big Round Top on February 09, 2009. That day literally changed the course of my life…forever! I thought I was going to the Gettysburg Battlefield just for research for this book. I had no idea Summer Ray would also be introduced. But it was and although I eventually did publish this book, I very much forgot about it. I became so engrossed in writing the Summer Ray Series. I unpublished it and just basically did nothing with it. It has been a very interesting week. This book kept coming to my mind. But I didn’t want to deal with it. So, once again, I just pushed it to the back burner. But God does have a way of getting our attention! Somehow an older version of the book popped up on Amazon. I was shocked because it has been out of print, I believe, for the last ten years. So, I checked it out and it was published as a used book, under Holy Fire Publishing. What? There was only one copy of it for $7.99. I had to buy it. It is actually the orginal publisher. (I am pretty sure they were the ones who first had it). But then I found CreateSpace, which ultimately became KDP and I went out on my own. I cannot believe I am getting the original book in its first printing. Ok God! I am getting the picture now. You want me to republish this book (over 500 pages), under my Juliana Love Publishing with a new ISBN. I am eventually going to republish all my previous books as 2nd editions under my publishing company, each with new ISBNs. It is very time consuming. But because this book preceded Summer Ray, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Father God wanted this book published now, before I get so busy with the SR project. It is actually mentioned in Summer Ray. Believe me, I have done a lot of praying about how to move things forward and this book is what is in the way of that. It is like the door we need to walk through to get to pre-production. FULL TITLE:

America – Directed Attention Series

I forgot I was going to make it a series. Yikes! A lot is going on in America some good and some horrific. So, once I get this book published in its 2nd edition version, and after the 1st memoirs book is also published, I may start the outline for the 2nd America – Directed Attention book. I am forever grateful for 1st book as it led me to Summer Ray unexpectedly. Right now, I am editing it in a better format.

On another note, I am also starting the work on our fundraiser that is attached to our Fiscal Sponsor From the Heart Productions. www.fromtheheartproductions.com!Harbor Love Productions banking info is added for direct deposits. All donations via FTH are tax deductible. They also monitor how our funds are spent. This gives peace of mind to donors. They know their hard earned money isn’t being wasted. I am still working on perks. So, it won’t be until spring that I am able to launch the online fundraiser. I do not want any donor to have to wait weeks or months for perks. I want to be able to send them out immediately.

I love decorating the books. I am still learning how to though. There are so many different ways to decorate them. But at least I have learned how to create the pockets without ripping the wrapping paper. LOL

I absolutely love the book covers with the vintage overlay. The paper via KDP is “groundwood.” It is soft and beautiful. https://thememoirsofsummerray.com/the-summer-ray-books-authors-point-of-view/. I have given 1,000% in to making sure these books and the pilot screenplay are worthy products.

I read one of the dedications in The Blessings of Liberty book.

*Apostle Louise Banks

My greatest role model; I love you. I appreciate you;

I hope to someday be like you; a woman of excellence!

She was my pastor for at least fifteen maybe closer to twenty years. She always found time to encourage me. She reminds me so much of Carole Dean, the president of From the Heart Productions. Apostle Louise prayed many years for the project to be a success. But without excellence, I knew that wasn’t going to happen. She has since passed and with the Lord now. But I know I still need to carry on her belief in me. Perhaps it is why the books took close to eighteen years to finally be finished. Wow! I am just very relieved that they are in their final print. I am actually very happy with them. I don’t have this sinking feeling in my stomach anymore. Got to admit, I was a little stressed out having to dig up the liberty book. I finished formatting it. I just need to go through it now and edit where needed. I plan to publish it and the 1st memoirs book this month. At the latest, December. But definitely no later than December 31st. I need to publish those books this year. I want to move into 2027 feeling free! If that makes any sense.

Thank you for being a part of our Summer Ray world!
