Last Call For Priority Genres - Happy Halloween!

It's our CEO's favorite month - October. The colorful leaves, caramel apples, apple cider, bonfires, s'mores, camping, and so much more enchant this amazing month. To make it even more so enchanting, we wanted to let everyone know that this month we will be open for submissions.

We currently accept submissions for multiple genres, however we will be focusing on a few special ones during October. These particular genres will be the first to be considered between now and the end of the year.

Each Tuesday and Friday throughout October we are "calling" for submissions of certain genres. If you're an aspiring writer with a complete ms and have been looking at having your work considered for publication we encourage you to stay tuned to the JLBCP blog to see if your genre is one we're looking for during the month. If you are submitting in one of these genres your work will be moved to the top of the stack through the remainder of the year.

WEDNESDAY FEATURE "Spark Your Creativity"

#Halloween #Haunted #Creepy

This week's photo takes us to a haunted house  

Janet has titled this photo, "Death in Chains" 

Happy Creating!

On Wednesdays we're posting a photo taken by our CEO, author Janet Beasley to help inspire authors, painters, musicians, and other awesome artists. We've titled the new feature, "Spark Your Creativity." How did we come up with this? Read on...

When Janet isn't hard at work in the literary world, you'll find her and her husband kayaking the crystal clear, spring fed rivers of Florida. Janet's second passion next to writing is photographing nature as they glide through the serene settings these rivers have to offer. She and her husband also enjoy traveling the US, so you'll also be seeing some of Janet's

photos taken from hikes and journeys she and her husband have done nationwide. She has used her photos time and again for her own inspiration when it comes to many of her stories, and decided she would like to share the same inspiration with the literary and arts world.

And not to worry if you're not inspired this week, come back each Wednesday to catch a glimpse of what could "spark" your next amazing piece of work. And if you don't want to wait until next Wednesday, we'd like to invite you to visit our JLB Creatives Photo Gallery on Flickr where the photos are always free to download and use as book covers, business cards, wallpaper, etc. All we ask is that you give credit where credit is due - perhaps by something as simple as adding a credit link to the JLB Creatives/Janet Beasley Flickr site in your book or on your presentation. 

We hope you enjoy our new Wednesday feature, "Spark Your Creativity." And we want to let you know, if a photo inspires you to write a story that you would like to have considered for publication by JLB Creatives Publishing, be sure to visit our website at http://www.JLBCreatives.com where you'll find our company's history, be introduced to the publishing team, discover our Submission Guidelines, and may submit your work for consideration.

Enjoy!

Reader gives 28 Months of Heaven and Hell 5 Stars!

About 28 Months of Heaven and Hell 
J.D. Karns' historical novel is based on the actual journal kept by Carl Lee Young while he served in the U.S. Navy during WWII aboard the escort vessel DE-416 USS Melvin R. Nawman. Karns has brilliantly woven Carl's journal entries together with fiction to create an entertaining, breathtaking, and highly factual account of the war from a sailor's point of view. 

Experience everything from the great typhoon of 1944 to Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and from the atom bomb to the signing of the treaty that ended the Second World War. It is an emotional roller coaster ride between the onboard action and the family back home. The realism of not only the war but also the era has been captured with expertise. In real life Carl's younger brother, Charles, longed to hear his big brother's WWII story. When Carl returned from the war he promised his little brother that someday he would tell him all about it. 

That day came recently when Charles began receiving journal entries from Carl via emails, totaling 168. Both Carl and Charles are excited to have their story turned into a historic novel. Both brothers are still living; they share the dream of holding a published copy of Carl's story in their hands before being called to Heaven. Carl resides in Arizona, and Charles resides in Florida. Both are still happily married and, through emails and phone calls, enjoy keeping each other informed of their day-to-day lives.

5 Star Reader Review! 
Absolutely loved this book!
While reading about Chester's decision to enlist and the hard times he went thru while serving, it also gave me the loving feeling that his little brother Jeb held for him. At home Jeb was the strong little soldier for his family, at war Chester was the strong soldier to battle thru the emotional sightes, smells and sounds. I cried over the changing relationship of father and son (priceless). Sue turns out to be a very smart women in making the decision on waiting for Chester to come home. ;)
