We are delighted to be exhibiting once again at the Premiere Book Fair in Africa to be held at the CTICC from 10 am. to 6 pm.
For the fair this week,
We worked out a hook,
For what reader's seek,
In a card deck or book.
A local author is a winner,
For those who thirst,
They pass over the foreigner,
To put their countryman first.

Get a first sight of our new titles. We expect to have advance copies of the wonderful Lo Scarabeo range of Tarot Decks and mini Tarot Decks. Also we hope to have a range of new titles from Stonehill including famous names like Eckhart Tolle and Sri Aurobindo.

 Graham Saayman from Cape Town Hunting with the Heart - A Vision Quest to Spiritual Emergence. A highly acclaimed work by a well loved and respected scholar.
Jimmy Henderson from Durban Multi-Dimensional Thinking - Mind Training to get the Best out of Life. Steeped in Rosicrucian flavoured wisdom and practical esoterics.
Nadine May from Cape Town has a substantial contribution with her three novels in the Awakening Series The Awakening Clan, The Astral Explorer and The Cosmic Traveller. They have all been critically acclaimed.
Pamina Mullins is actually from Zimbabwe but we include her as local because South Africans feel close to them. Her book Stress Slaves - How it imprisons you, how to Break Free is a wonderful guide to avoiding the increasing stresses we are subjected to from someone who has been through it all and triumphed.
Lyndel Daly from Cape Town offers Operation Self-Transformation - A Self Coaching Guide to Personal Transformation. We all want to succeed in our own unique way, and Lyndel knows how to get us there.
Belinda Joubert from Betty's Bay offers AngelSense Angel Guidance for everyday issues and three decks of cards, AngelSense, Faeries and Nature.

| Two forthcoming titles by local authors |
|
|
Chris Page is from Johannesburg and his book Life in your Hands - An Elemental Life Path Guide is an insight into how Cheirology can help to make life easier and more rewarding. He brings together the five elements with our hierarchy of needs to present a thoroughly practical and insightful vision.
Mark Lockwood is also from Johannesburg and his book Auto Therapy -- The Power to Heal your Life presents a host of psychological techniques to enable one to use the methods that psychologists use themselves!

We know that it is extremely tough to get a new author's book noticed amongst the avalanche of new titles arriving every year, but certain criteria do help.
- Firstly the content has to have a fresh approach and be well written (and we will guide new authors on this).
- Secondly, the author has to have credibility (an expertise in their subject). Endorsements help here as well as being a public speaker.
- Thirdly it is essential to have a cyberspace 'presence' in the form of a web site, news letters and a database of supporters and people interested in the author's subject.
If these criteria are passed then it makes a lot of sense to approach us. Books under our imprint get exposed to all the major book buyers around the country, get extensive public exposure on our newsletters, web site and at Trade Fairs. Certain titles will get overseas sales (UK and USA) as well.

| Think Global Act Local |

Now more than ever our readers, as intelligent and inquisitive people (that includes you!) should be finding out about the absolute wealth of talent in South Africa today. The rapidly rising petrol price encourages us more than ever to Think Globally and Act Locally. We are all driving our cars less and Kima Global for one has been drastically reducing our carbon footprint. We are no longer shipping books overseas, we don't even post files, but upload them via EFT to printers in the country nearest to the customer.
We have been developing and supporting local authors for years, but in recent times the quality of what they have to offer is amazing. We feature some of them above.

Authors who have written articles appropriate to today's challenges now have their own page on our web site, linked from their own book page, thereby giving a fuller view of their topic...
Why we choose to publish or distribute the books on our list
We look for manuscripts or books that are both original, unique, well written and offer an insight to the reader that can enrich their lives. We look for ways to contribute to humanity's information that we all in our heart's 'already know', but it must be lived and experienced in order to make it a reality.
