Our Books and Our Newest Release!

Well, it’s been a very busy time here at SMP!

Not ones to sit around and rest on our laurels, we have another New Release that arrived late last week, that I (Sandi) am particularly passionate about.

‘Mirabelle’ is my first novel, and while it was originally picked up over two years ago, it has not done what indeed, we thought it would do. And so, after some tidying up and another collaboration with Tony*, I am very proud to present the Re-release of ‘Mirabelle’!! Covering subjects such as abuse, adultery and addiction, Mirabelle endures and survives, only for it all to come crashing down as she receives the worst possible news. She wonders will she ever overcome her past and present demons; will she triumph once again? Available exclusively here at http://www.sparklemoonpublishing.net/the-store/. I am currently writing the sequel, which promises to take the reader all over the stratosphere – again…

Alongside this, we are now in the marketing stage with ‘Awakening of the Heart’, with nearly all pre-orders sent off. We certainly hope you are enjoying this magnificent novel! We will be placing another order to the printer this week, so please get your orders in asap, or go to http://www.bookdepository.com for free worldwide shipping, and of course, http://www.amazon.com in your region. Jo’s second novel is in the pre-production stage currently. This promises to take you on even more of a rollercoaster ride…

We have now started marketing Sharmaine’s books, which is wonderful! ‘George’s World – Where is my Dad?’ is a story about being raised in a single-parent home, and the complexities that arise from this. This book combines Sharmaine’s innate ability to reach into the younger generation, with her skills as a professional Counsellor, and bring forth gold. This book is available on http://www.amazon.com, http://www.bookdepository and of course our Store. Sharmaine’s other book, ‘From Tears to Triumph’ is a wonderful devotional, crafted to take you deeper into your relationship with Christ, alongside wonderful testimonies and poems. We are currently working on the follow up to both of these books too.

All books are available through our website, just click ‘The Store’ to place your order.

Once again, we deeply appreciate your support and encouragement.

Take care, and be blessed.

SMP 🙂

Congratulations J.L. Dawson 🎉🎊

As many of you are aware by now, Awakening of the Heart by our delightful author Jo Dawson, has been internationally released this past Wednesday 🥳 You will start to find the novel on many different websites in the coming weeks – how exciting!!

The books are on their way here now as you read this, so for those of you who have pre-ordered, it won’t be too much longer now.

A massive congratulations to Jo, who has penned six books in this incredibly heart warming and heart wrenching series!

The Journeys of the Heart series, encompasses many different struggles that we here in modern times, are faced with. Along with humour, intricate detailing, a feisty character or two, and love that overcomes all things; we are being taken on a journey through time, into a world of innocence, chivalry, harsh realities, beauty and an overcoming spirit.

Don’t forget that we sell the book at a discounted rate, so pre-order now, by clicking ‘The Store’ tab. We will continue to stock and sell the book at this discounted rate, in the future.

Let’s get behind an amazing author and take this series to a world, that quite frankly could do with a bit of good news, intrigue, wonder and fascination right now!

Awakening of the Heart Update

Hello and welcome to our site if this is your first time here 😀

Just a quick update on the release of Jo’s book. Our printer/distributor is located in Victoria, Australia which are in the midst of a Covid lockdown. Our enquiries and communications are with the Head office in the States! So, we are having to be patient with the release and subsequently, the pre-orders.

I have every faith that the book will be available online in a few days time and that delivery will be in the very near future.

Copies of the book will remain at $20.00 (+ postage) on our site, however prices will vary on other book sites and in stores when it is officially released.

In the meantime, many heartfelt thanks from both Jo and myself for all your support towards this fabulous novel!

Kindest regards

Maestro

My daughter wrote this quite a while ago, but I think it’s utterly gorgeous. Enjoy!!

Not long ago, my beautiful Pop was diagnosed with dementia. I wrote this for him a few years ago as a gift. Now I wish to share so you all can see how I see my beloved Pop…

The stage is set, curtains are drawn. An audience brimming with anticipation, silently wait for the show to begin. Suddenly, the lights go out. In the darkness the atmosphere is electric, the audience whispers excitedly, wondering what the Maestro has in store for them.

Then, as if on cue, there is silence.

The only sound is of footsteps, slowly, deliberately walking on the stage. As one, the audience looks up at the stage trying to see through the darkness to where the Maestro is.

A quiet melody begins, fingers delicately dancing across the keys with the music. Hundreds of lights dance across the drawn curtains like magical creatures flitting about, here and…

And off we go!

Hello and welcome to the very first blog from SparkleMoon Publishing. I’m glad you’ve found us 🙂

Today is a triumphant day, with myself having just sent everything off to the printers, for a mid July release of our first book. How utterly exciting and completely exhausting.

Between being the proofreader, editor, designer, author, spell checker, wrangling new software, learning new programmes and being the general ‘everybody’, I am utterly shattered!

However having said that, I am elated that after fluffing around since December of last year with my manuscript, that it’s finally ready to be printed.

In the meantime, blogging on my other website sandisparklewilson.com, designing websites for other clients, editing and proofreading four other manuscripts, as well as being wife and mum to a boy off school for two weeks; well it’s a whirlwind of activity around here.

If you would like to get in touch regarding your own manuscript, please do so on the contact form. We’re very excited to work alongside other writers and authors, and see what kind of genius we can all come up with!

Take care, stay safe and be blessed.

Sandi 🙂
