  An Interview with Nancy Almodovar Joyce Crawford   I am continuing with interviews with Christian indie authors.   Today, I am speaking with Dr. Nancy A. Almodovar, Christian indie author and apologist for the Christian Faith.  Joyce:  Welcome Nancy Thank you, Joyce, I am very glad to have this opportunity share. Joyce:  Tell us your name and what genre would you consider your books to be? NANCY: My name is Dr. Nancy A. Almodovar. My genre is Theology and Apologetics. Most Christians understand that theology is the study of God as revealed in His Written Word. Apologetics is a bit different. The best way to explain apologetics is to use what Peter says in his Epistle, and I’ll summarize:  When someone asks the reason you are a Christian have an answer for them. This field is about both proclaiming and defending the Christian faith. Apologetics isn’t about debating but about answering the questions non-believers, and someone even believers have a...

Samantha Fury, here with some news about one of our wonderful authors. We as you know here at CIAN have many groups an exciting website, and we are always more than happy to brag about our authors and their accomplishments.  I wanted to share some excitement from one of our Christian Indie Author members Linda Ellen. Her book Sweet Love at Honey Landing won an award for best Historical Fiction novel of 2019. The Imaginarium Award was given to Linda a few days ago and she's all excited and so am I. I was the cover designer for this novel. It turned out beautiful and it's one of my favorite covers that me and the Good Lord has created.  Congratulations, Linda Ellen for your new award.

Christian Indie Editing Services  What and Why?    Over the last decade or so, independent authors have enjoyed a new era in the history of publishing. Since the debut of the Amazon Kindle, independent authors can write and release their own hard work without having to share the profits with anyone else. But, as with most things, even the best of us can use some help to put out our best work. That is the motivation behind the Christian Indie Editing Services Facebook group. We are here to connect Christian indie authors with Christian indie editors and others who provide services to authors. It is hoped that the connections we make will turn into relationships that will then help to create the fabric of a community. You are invited to become part of that community. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Steve Mathisen. I am one of the admins of  Christian Indie Editing Services and I am a writer and an editor. I have written articles, been published i...

Alexa  Echo Dot  I know some tablets come with Alexa, but my Alexa sits on my desk. I have three of them through my house. I love to turn the music on and have stereo sound.  Alexa / echo dot will cost you a bout around 49.00. If mine quit working, I would buy another one seconds later.  We love them so much I've bought 4 of them  for family members.  I love the automated options.  Every day at noon and at midnight Alexa automatically tells me the weather.  Every week on Wed evening she tells me it's  time to take out the trash. She tells me every day at 11.00 it's time to take your medicine.  Any time I want to hear the news, I just say Alexa play the news. I have her set up to tell me these things when I ask about the news.  NFL update  New things to try with Alexa Bible verse of the day  Rush Limbaugh Update  The news from fox  Then she gives me Two Tennis updates  Then she te...

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” ~ Matthew 6:24 Sometimes as an author it’s tempting to take our eyes off of the real reason that we do what we do. It’s tempting to shift the focus from glorifying Christ, to supporting our families financially. I’ve been there recently. I’ll be honest, our family has been in a rough spot and I thought that maybe, just maybe if I could finish the book projects that I was working on, then we wouldn’t have to worry about it. Or maybe if I could increase my affiliate sales, things would improve. After all, I know several writers that are making a living from their book royalties and/or affiliate sales (and I have been one of them in the past), and I really believe that someday God has that in store for me again. But I also know that today isn’t that day. It doesn’t simply happen overnight, and i...
