Books are life long gifts

Books are more than just a great gift, they can be something treasured for a lifetime. A speical book given with a special inscription can be found on the reciever's bookshelf many years later. A book can express romance sometimes better than flowers, a book of poetry or a love story to make your sweet's heart pitter pater. Nor will a book wilt a in a few days. That book will be cherished and reread for decades possibly.
Children will often save favorite books and stories from their childhood to pass on to their own children.

Still looking for that special book to wrap and place under the tree? Then visit JLBCreatives.com and browse through our authors pages to find the perfect gift. Our books are available through most retailers online and in bookstores. If a title isn't on the shelf just ask for it at the counter and your local shop can order it.

Maycly The Trilogy, Book Two: The Battle of Trust and Treachery.

Have you been to Maycly yet? Take the enchanted fantastic adventure with the Hidden Earth Series. Maycly the Trilogy: Book One: Two Altered Worlds was recently released for readers of YA fantasy. Now you can own Book Two: The Battle of Trust and Treachery!

About the Hidden Earth Series, Volume One, MAYCLY The Trilogy, Book Two: The Battle of Trust and Treachery

Book Two picks back up on Maycly where you were left off in Book One, still in the past. Charleo is Iona returns to the story near the end of Book Two. You will certainly want to journey on to MAYCLY The Trilogy, Book Three: The Queen to see how this fantastical story comes together.
summoned for the task of a lifetime by the Grand Wizard, SUL. He is not certain he is up to the challenge, but he honors SUL, nonetheless. Requested not to tell his family where he is going, he leaves his wife and boys in secret. Charleo and his two chukkon companions enter another land on Maycly, a land most do not know exists. Here is where the warrior training begins. You will become attached to the characters like never before and experience their love and heartaches as the epic battle unfolds. And not to worry, as time catches up,

The Battle of Trust and Treachery gets Five Stars from Reader's Favorite! 

Hidden Earth Series Volume 1 Maycly the Trilogy - Part 2 ~ The Battle of Trust and Treachery, by Janet Beasley, takes off from where the first part ends. The reader is again taken on an adventure trip where the characters go through heartaches, fantasy, whimsy, and everything that appeals to the reader.

I found the second part equally compelling as the first part. The author's imagination is still on a high in this part. There are many amazing creatures, use of elaborate language, and some nice illustrations which leave an impression about the characters in the story. The plot and the story are as good as the first part of the story. 

All the creatures in the book are also very whimsical. Both the parts of the story will make a good movie too. What I like about this kind of adventure and fantasy fiction is that it gives room for the reader to think without any barriers. The epic battle is fought in a new way in this story.

Hidden Earth Series Volume 1 Maycly the Trilogy - Part 2 ~ The Battle of Trust and Treachery also speaks about the author's expertise. She is able to write a story with an adventure plot in three parts and still manages to leave the reader asking for more. The book caters to readers of all age groups because it encourages you to dream and let your imagination run wild.

Readers' Favorite Review

Sydney Finds a Job is written by Shari Todd and Thom Battisto. Sydney is an Australian Shepherd who lives with Tom. Their home has a nice back yard with flowers. But Sydney becomes bored and wants more things to occupy her time. This dog breed is accustomed to doing lots of outdoor activities. Their main job is to

help ranchers and farmers round up cattle, so they are often referred to as cattle dogs. Sydney decides to help Tom by fetching the morning paper. But that doesn’t go well and she gets it wet with her slobber. Next, she helps Tom water the flowers by swishing the hose around, but waters his shoes instead! Tom tells her that she will soon find a job she can do well. Sydney sees a little girl named Sarah crying. Sarah tells her that she doesn’t know how to read her new book. Sydney decides to help her friend, but will she make a mess of this new job too?


Sydney Finds a Job is a cute little book that will make story time fun for small kids. Shari Todd and Thom Battisto introduce educational facts about this dog breed in a creative setting, so kids will learn about them while being amused by the story. The photos of the real Sydney are adorable. She lives with Thom Battisto and has a job visiting nursing homes, schools and libraries where kids can read to her. Sydney and Thom were praised for their work by First Lady Laura Bush.

About the Authors 

Thom Battisto was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in the Chicago suburbs. He is now a Florida resident and is a passionate advocate of animal rights. He has adopted several shelter dogs and has volunteered at a local shelter. Wanting to do even more, Thom and other supporters started the nonprofit organization called "Read to Sydney."


Shari Shaw Todd grew up in a small town that gave seed to big dreams of being an author. Co-writing this book with Mr. Battisto has helped her make two dreams come true: now she gets to be involved with kids and animals.

JLBCP Has Been Making Their Presence Known Nationwide

Thursday September 25, 2014 JLB Creatives Publishing's senior editor Dar Bagby joined library manager Ann Marie Smith of the Pickford Community Library to give a cutting edge presentation at the UPRLC (Upper Peninsula Region of Library Cooperation) annual meeting.

Young Writers Workshop facilitator Dar Bagby.
R - Randy Riley: Michigan State Librarian.

Ann Marie opened with "Engaging Your Community's Writers and Readers: Libraries and ePublishing." Dar Bagby immediately followed filling in the details with her presentation "ePublishing and How It Influences the Community." This dynamic duo of risk takers knocked it out of the park for the nearly 60 attendees representing libraries from across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the executive director  of the Midwest Collaborative for Library Sciences, Randy Dykhuis.

Dar is a co-facilitator/founder along with JLBCP's CEO Janet Beasley for the Young Writers Workshop (YWW) that takes place at the Pickford Community Library, Pickford Michigan.

Ann Marie holds accolades such as taking a community library from a circulation of under 400 to nearly 1600 per month in only two short years, and being bold enough to approach not only Dar, but others of the community to bring in many beneficial special programs that take place at the library. 

You can expect to begin seeing Dar and Ann Marie at other appearances in the future throughout the entire state of Michigan.

Only 3 short days after this dynamic duo's appearance in Michigan's UP, JLB Creatives Publishing's CEO Janet Beasley and Senior Financial Director Jean E. Lane headed to St. Augustine to appear at the Florida Heritage Book Festival.  

Janet gave a presentation regarding the innovative ways JLB Creatives Publishing is making a difference in the literary world, as well as shared some of their authors' works with the captive audience.
