About me:

~ Author ~ Publisher ~ Publicist ~ Poet ~ Ghostwriter ~ Speaker

Ever since I won a poetry contest in the high school paper when I was 13, I have loved to write. Words are magical, and books can open your mind to new places and ideas.

Background: After focusing on missions and teaching in my 20's, I switched to a successful career in sales working for such companies as the Southwestern Book Company, Comdata Networks and Ramada Inns, I made the decision to leave the bigger money for a more fulfilling career when I returned to ministry working with Youth For Christ. I have second-guessed myself many times since then but never been sorry for my change in direction.

Nashville Youth for Christ: As Director of Development for Nashville Youth for Christ, I learned the ins and outs of event planning for concerts, banquets, and other events while I pursued fund raising for the organization. It was in while trying to raise funds and awareness for the YFC that I became aware of the need for a non-denominational Christian publication that would give ministries and churches a stronger voice in the Nashville community. This led me to start the Koinonia Concert Calendar at Koinonia Bookstore in the late 1980s.

ChristianActivities.com: After I left Koinonia, a friend at the William Morris Agency suggested I take the knowledge and information I developed publishing the Koinonia Concert Calendar and start a monthly magazine for Nashville, so in 1992, Christian Activities Magazine was born. ChristianActivities.com website launched in 1996. ChristianActivities.com now boasts around 12,000 unique visitors a month.

Publisher: I have written and compiled several books through the years starting with "The Creative ReSource Directory" for Nashville's Christian music industry, to several "Anthology of Christian Poetry" editions, to the A Tribute to Mayberry poetry books.

My newest book, How to Promote Your Book on a Shoestring Budget, a book to help authors market and sell their self-published books, was just released in September of 2008.










A Tribute to Mayberry is a heart-warming collection of poems by various writers from across the country with one thing in common - they all love "The Andy Griffith Show."

Order A Tribute to Mayberry




Mayberry Book Signings -- Available for book signings for the 2008 edition of The Mayberry Poem - A Tribute to Maybery.







Poet: My poems have been featured in Silver Leaves - the Journal of the White Tree Fund, In Fellowship - the Journal of the Tolkien Gathering, Christmas Tyme in Rhyme, Christian Poet's Pen, The Anthology of Christian Poetry, Moody Broadcasting Network, and more.

Ghostwriter: I can take your press releases and articles and rewrite them using current SEO and LSI techniques for keyword density and search optimization. Let me know if I can help you!

Speaker: I am available to speak at seminars and conventions on book promotions for authors on a tight budget.

Thanks for the add, Kathryn. You know, I still have a copy of both your 1994 and 1997 Creative ReSource directories. I thought I had one from the 80's too. I also went to Koinonia in the early days. You have been a big help to Christian music, thank you.  If you notice any of my writings on my page that you'd like to share with your readers just let me know.  I submitted a few when I was on MySpace last year. I'm just setting it up again.  Best Wishes! Angel Isaacs

Hey Kathryn, Thanks. Christmas was nice. New Years eve is really busy at work so probably a 12 hour night, but at least off on the 1/1/09 day. Was nice to have Christmas day off too. Lots of snow up here.
Have a Happy New Year.
