"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…"

Trade Mark your book titles?? For products and book marks too.

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 my books by taking this away from me? Legal zoom wants 500.00 to do this, is this worth it since they can not guarantee this will work or help.What is your advice please? thank you, Blessings LindaSee More

“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.

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.

So, make yourself at home. And when you get a free moment, hopefully before you upload too much content, please read the information entitled, NEW MEMBERS PLEASE READ, for important content guidelines. You'll find it listed under the Member's Tab. Just a little necessary business to get out of the way, then I encourage you to explore and enjoy the site.

Also, check out our official blog and review site, Between the Lines, and our book club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK. LOST is gearing up to start it's August book discussion on the 15th. These two sites can be accessed through their quick-link banner on our Main Page.
