Hi,
I have a HUGE favor to ask of all my friends who have asked about the book. If “Kandide” sells 500 copies on Amazon.com in a three-day time period, it will catapult to #1 on the Best Seller list. I would be so honored if you help me reach this goal by purchasing Kandide on either Friday, June 6th, Saturday, June 7th, or Sunday June 8th. It sells for $9.99 and the nine full-color illustrations by Maxine Gadd look beautiful, as does the cover. For those who have already purchased it, THANK YOU! Then email me at diana@cmsbiz.com with your Amazon receipt of purchase, along with your mailing address and I will send you a FREE signed bookplate, Kandide bookmark, and the mysterious Vanishing Garglan Magic Trick. And everyone who helps me reach this goal will also get a FREE mug, mouse pad, or T-shirt with any image from Kandide on it—OR any image you provide (a loved one, cartoon, pet, etc.) from a great company, Pictures on Anything. Everything is included, even the shipping. Just send your receipt to: picturesonanything@gmail.com. Go to www.amazon.com and type “Kandide” in Books search, or paste this address in your browser: THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for your support. The reviews have been GREAT! “Kandide is Pure Magic!” Lance Burton “Kandide gives its readers one captivating, enthralling adventure after another.” S. Earl Statler – Critic Correspondent, The Los Angeles Newspaper Group “Zimmerman’s character variety provides moral conflict amid a fantasy component, where life-changing epiphanies are discovered along with fanciful adventures in pomegranate meadows, palaces, dark woods, and underwater caverns. You’ll be absorbed into “Kandide and the Secret of the Mists” as if you were making the journey yourself. Zimmerman’s gentle, descriptive prose perches on the edge of poetry and at the crossroads of invention and imagination.” Jacqueline Monahan—Las Vegas Around the Clock
Judy Skeel Gallery Show This Tuesday I will help set up an art show in Worthington, Ohio called

Article spreading like wild fire in business forums alike!!!
Art blog, gamer sites, illustration.org Deviantart, Fairy Society! We need to spread this every where. I ask you all to post this information - talk about it - "Say No" to it - Lets get vocal and speak our minds! But most of all - lets do something about it!!! Mark has some very good subjections in his article. Mind Your Business: You Will Lose All The Rights to Your Own Art Mark Simon is mad as hell and, in this month's "Mind Your Business," he tells you why you should be too. Orphan Works Bill News you need to know about. This is happening now!!! The Bill is being pushed to be released now! I am usually very careful to check these kinds of things out before spreading the news. On the internet it is always wise to be careful what ones shares. Too many scams.! THIS IS NOT! I can tell you Mark has been a professional for many years with many well know clients. His wife and himself are owners of a production company that specializes in TV production. Marks wife Jeanne has been a producer, writer, and content creator in the entertainment industry for 24 years. Mark himself has worked in production for 20 years as a director, producer, story artist, animator and designer, he has worked on over 2,500 productions. So like ourselves Mark and Jeanne care about this new law and how it will effect us all. You can find Mark's article here - http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&article_no=3605 you can also get his complete document with link information by following the link below. Here is a part of that article in his document talking with Alex Saviuk: Spider-Man comic artist Alex Saviuk is also concerned about the loss of copyright protection. “When I found out all the negative aspects of the new legislation, it would almost behoove us to want to do something else for a living,” says Saviuk. “If we would have to register with all the different companies, we would never be able to make a living.” “It would be impossible for me to register all my art,” continues Saviuk. “It would put me out of business.” You can listen to my complete interview with Alex online at http://www.SellYourTvConceptNow.com/orphan.html. Think this doesn’t apply to you? Maybe you don’t license your artwork? How about this? Photos on the internet could be orphaned. With tens of millions of photos shared online with services like Flickr, Shutterfly and Snapfish, there is a huge opportunity unauthorized use of your photos…legally. Copyright. org Article - USA Copyright Office http://www.copyright.gov/orphan/orphan-report.pdf The following links is to the article written by Mark Simon. www.sellyourtvconceptnow.com/orphan/Orphan%20Works%20article%20by%2...
