Happy Father's Day to Our Super Author Dads

We would be remiss not to include our award-winning illustrator, the late Zhenya Yanovich, proud father a little girl named Yuliya, who, alas, did not have many years to spend with her dad. Zhenya, born with spina bifida in Siberia, coming to the USA as a teenager for life-saving measures, and earning fame as a talented artist in Russia, died at the age of 42 from a brain aneurysm. His sister, Uliana, completed his final work for us.

Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing t
