Thanks for clarifying for me. Trade marks on products with the same name as your book is a cool idea. I'd contact an attorney - most of them will give you a free consultation. I've looked up attorneys through the state Bar Association site to find...
thanks Diane for your info, why I am asking is this, I want to be able to make my own dolls, using the name of the book and book marks, maybe some toys in the effect of the name of the book title. for example, Maxwell House Coffee, that is a regis...
Linda,
I don't think that you can trademark a book title. There are many books with the same title. In the past year, several books have been published with the title "Escape." I think what you want is to build your name as a trademark and build ...
I want to know, if I have to trademark the title of my childrens story book? Because I intend to make posters, book marks, coasters, dolls, and car magnets. is it wise to do this? Does this still protect me from the ones who want to benefit from m...
I thought that I am registered in this group. I received a message saying you must register, what am I missing here?
Send back a large box of Chocolates! and a Thank you note

I attend a group here locally in St Petersburg Fl, from a woman by the name of Lore Raymond. Groups name is Casa De Fa La House of Love
She is the teacher and gives us prompts to do, and opens up our minds, so the first friday of each month she op...
I am re reading East of Eden why you may ask? Well, the characters are pretty loony. John Stinebecks wacked out family has somthing in common with mine. They did some awful things to each other and mine has similar traits.
I wanted to see if the ...
I paid my 12.99 so I guess I am paid up.
The place I love to read is actually four places, In the back yard under my shade tree, in my car, in my bathroom and at the library where they have the room called the quiet room where there is no noise.

Readers love to curl up in A comfortable chair with their favorite drink, book, and a bag of 'Candy Kisses'. The next best thing is telling a friend about that fabulous book you've just finished. WE'RE WAITING TO HEAR!
Like myself not only am I a reader I am a writer too. I love passionate books, with love,passion and compassion. I love a good story with description and suspense. Unless its a story where it does not make your life turn to a coil.
I mean is this...
OOPS I forgot to tell you, somtimes I do not even eat, I forget to eat because I am on here for more than 8 hours a day creating books and stories i forget to eat. Duh? My husband says I should weigh 10 lbs by now, but I am not that small. hahhaa!!
Carrots I eat alof of them where they are crunchy and yet they fill your entire mouth and they are not fattening too!
Hi I am also new here my new childrens book will be self published by me in November hopefully called Grandma's Pocket Pals. and Hopefully everyone can read it and give me pointers on this, its a story about trust, encouragment, and love and wisdo...
Diane I have a pen name which I like to use as A Ghost writer. I do not know why they call us that, but I think is because we write in the ghostly manner? By secretly? Or is it because someone has a story to tell and does now know how to put it on...

“THE UNSECRET IN GODS TIME”
God Has All the Rights in getting what you need!
ONE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW
By Linda Valentino 2008(c)
I have thought many times that most people have read the book the
“Secret” I too was one of them. For all things that my God and his son
have been giving to me. Anything I wish to have if I just believe and it has happened. And I am very blest because of it.
The purpose of my book is similar to the other book but you must have to buy hers to get your answers.

He walked into the real estate office with his head high into the clouds. Hello Sir, Hi he said. Oh I am sorry my name is Clem. Clem was a farmer in the next state. He saw that the old Millers Farm was for sale. As he drove up to this town the big black sign read For Sale. He wanted to inquire about it, the one with the steel top roof attached to the barn. The wind mill on the top of the hill. And the jingle jangles of the wind chimes.

- Welcome Linda! Just wanted to say that what you're doing with your dolls and the missions trips is wonderful. I've had the awesome priviledge of going on several mission trips to Central America and Jamacia and I know first hand what such gifts can do in a childs life who has no toys what so ever to play with. God bless you for your generous heart. I also wish you the best in all your writing endeavors.

- Wow, Linda, that was a great post you left on my page. I think mission trips are a beautiful thing. Years ago, I spent two months overseas working with young students. I have memories to last me a life time.
I am married with two boys and no pets. I am a born and bred New Yorker, spent the first two and a half decades of my life in the city. I traded it for the cushier life of the 'burbs. Easier for raising kids, IMO.
This is a great place. I will have to tell more gals to join up and be a part of it. I've met a lot of nice gals here. It's only gotten better since you arrived. =D
