When Liberty Enslaves (Aveta) Selected for a Gold Medal in the Illumination Book Awards Competition

 


When Liberty Enslaves, a multiple-award-winning book by Jerry Aveta has been selected for a gold medal in the Enduring Light category of the Illumination Book Awards. Congratulations to the author!

Book Description:

There is a common experience between our experiences today and those before the Civil War many years ago. The effect of the intersection of faith and politics during these two experiences has had on our elections and our governance is uncanny in their similarities. Both times an election insurrection was stopped by the sitting vice president. Both times had people of the same faith on both sides of the social issues of the day claiming God's favor and willing to divide the nation over those competing positions.

Part 1 of this writing focuses on the Civil War era and how liberty centered around the issue of equality. Some people of faith believed all men were equal, some did not. Part 2 focuses on our present times and how liberty centers on the sanctity of life concerning abortion and gun control. Some in our nation feel enslaved by the liberty of others. Part 3 describes methods for closing the divide in our nation beginning with the faith communities.


Keywords:
faith and politics, religion and governance, election insurrections, Vice President's role in history, Civil War and liberty, faith and equality, religious divide in America, sanctity of life, abortion and gun control, freedom vs. enslavement, political and social division, healing a divided nation, faith communities and unity, history repeating itself, intersection of religion and policy, Election 2024, Election 1860, slavery, abolitionists

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over t...

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Should you treat your writing as a business?

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  This week we look at whether an author should set up a formal business or simply treat writing as a side gig, That, of course, depends. It depends on an author's income level, long-term goals, and risk tolerance.  Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of formalizing a writing business versus staying a sole proprietor and paying taxes on royalties. Option 1: Treat Writing as a Side Gig (No Formal Business) If you earn royalties from book sales but don’t set up a separate business entity, the IRS considers you a sole proprietor by default . You report book income on Schedule C of your personal tax return and pay self-employment tax. ✅ P...
