to work with and did a masterful job designing and typesetting my young
adult novel,

with on the novel The Fourth Corner, and her knowledge, expertise and

All Ye Zombies by Victor Theory ISBN: 978-0-9816832-0-1 |
||||
| In the small town of New Davenport, Connecticut, Spence Murdoch and Rachel Labonde live in an Age in which no individual’s purpose will be left undone. But an infamous New Age prophet has come to knock the New World Order off its programmed foundations. His divine tactics threaten to return the global populace to uncensored thought and unrestrained free will. | |||||
| In a world that has done away with the worst in humankind remain the lifeblood questions of ethics, culture, success, science, sex, politics, the media and faith. With satirical enthusiasm, Victor Theory asks the question: Are we all Zombies of the best kind, or should we awaken to the dark and profound thoughts of our own God-given human minds? | |||||
| “By personal experience, the
craft of writing serious fiction is part faith, frustration, agony and
downright exuberance! Undeniably, I can say that All Ye Zombies would not
be the debut novel it is without Jill Ronsley’s talent, patience,
and keen editorial eye having graced its pages. Having the privilege of
working with Jill was an experience par excellence! The most fitting tribute
is that working with Jill has not only produced a wonderfully designed
and edited book, but it has made me a better writer. With humble thanks
and gratitude, I look forward to what our collaborations with Sun Editing & Book
Design may produce in the future!” —Victor Theory, Mindtides Publishing |

Backroom Confessions by Rose Jackson-Beavers |
||||
| Five social workers take different paths in their lives but follow a similar direction. Although each is successful in his or her own right, all have decided to work in an industry where good salaries are not the norm. Thus, the drama begins. Faced with backbiting, embarrassment, infidelity, health problems, and outrageous sexual encounters, they must find the strength and confidence to solve their own problems. | |||||
| Available from Prioritybooks, Amazon.com and Borders. | |||||
| "Have you ever met
someone who worked as hard on your project as you would? That's Jill
Ronsley. Jill is my editor. Since she has been editing my work and the
work of Prioritybooks authors, great things are happening. We have quality
work. Quality work that sells, and we are so proud. Before I met her,
my proudest moment was completing my first novel. It was short-lived.
The editors that I hired were ineffective and did not have the skills
that I paid for; thus, my reputation as a writer was in jeopardy. I now
have a slogan for my company: 'No books will leave our office without
Jill's signature.' She is patient, hardworking, competent and kind. She
is not only a great editor, but she is professional and committed." —Rose Jackson-Beavers, CEO and author, Prioritybooks Publications |

Mormon
Reflections: The Path to Mountain Meadows by Beth Shumway Moore |
||||
| This award-winning historical novel explores the events leading to the tragedy at Mountain Meadows. As portrayed through the lives of fictional characters, the story began long before September 11, 1857. Mormon Reflections, a League of Utah Writers first-place winner, won an Honorable Mention in the 2001 Writers Digest National Self-Published Book Awards for fiction. | |||||
| "Beth Moore is
an uncommon voice among Utah Mormon historical novels. In her book, she
presents the story of the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre without apology
nor undue villainy. Years of research and access to rare personal diaries
from the period give credibility to her characters as well as historical
accuracy." —Geraldine Felt, Utah poet |
|||||
| Available at Jorlan Publishing and Amazon.com. | |||||
| "Jill Ronsley showed
a willingness to go the extra mile to satisfy me with my book, Mormon
Reflections: The Path to Mountain Meadows. She showed me
many covers she thought would fit. She mentioned several changes that
improved the book. Maybe the best help I feel I received from her was
the sincere willingness and desire to help in every way she could. I
felt free to ask questions, and felt her price, for all the help I needed,
was very fair. The book's interior was set up in a very professional,
attractive arrangement, with chapter headings, fonts, spacing, copyright
page, table of contents and headers. The symbolism of the sunrise on
the front cover and sunset on the back cover was clever, I thought, although
most readers won't notice." —Beth Shumway Moore, historical novelist |
