A very nice tribute from a very worthy associate.
by Mamiko Edegard PhD
MY TRIBUTE TODAY…Mike Webb of Sortis Publishing! What an amazing person to collaborate with on an amazing publishing project! You know how you come to know and trust people through how they respond when everything isn’t perfect – that is where you can, how did my mother put that, “test their nettle!”
I am excited to have finished a project for Dr. Mamiko Odegard, a well respected, dynamic and successful Scottsdale psychologist and relationship coach. Slated to be released on Valentine’s Day, Daily Affirmations of Love is a dance of devotion… where Dr. Mamiko Odegard offers 365 entries that reflect relationships as an empowering “dance” rather than a deliberate, linear path. Mamiko does not offer us the seven effective ways to be a good lover. Instead, she notes how each day is uniquely different, but each one ultimately requires that we dance past daily distractions and get back to experiencing the discipline of love, wrapping each day in a positive affirmation that helps us experience “love as a verb!”
Mike and I are working to create a hybrid process between traditional publishing and the difficulties authors can experience when they try to self-publish. Making this “blend” happen is important to aspiring authors, but making the shift happen has required open communication, patience and amazing support – characteristics that do not always meet one’s expectations in this kind of collaboration. Mike has been stellar and EXCEEDED my every expectation. If you don’t know him or the services he provides to professionals seeking to share their expert status as an author – he is a MUST to add to your list of resourceful people within the publishing industry!
Thank you, Mike, for helping make Daily Affirmations for Love happen!

Attorney General releases new book for Black History Month
Am I Not a Man?
Am I Not a Man?
Special release for Black History Month “Am I Not a Man? – The Dred Scott Story” by Attorney General Mark Shurtleff breathes new life into the famous case that defined our nation’s stance on racism.
This historical novel illustrates the heart-rending true story of Dred Scott, a freed slave forced back into bondage, and his struggle to regain liberty. Scott’s personal story is one of national importance, as the case of Scott vs. Sanford became Abraham Lincoln’s presidential platform and served as a key reference in our nation’s Emancipation Proclamation. Scott’s trials in making the rights of a black man the rights of all Americans are as touching as they are true, in this moving account of Dred’s fight for freedom.
A perfect topic for Black History Month
Prosaic and insightful, Mark Shurtleff chronicles Dred’s journey from its humble beginnings to its earth-quaking conclusion, solidifying Scott as one of the 18th century’s most dynamic and powerful figures in the Abolitionist movement. This is a perfect topic for Black history Month in the United States.
“After five years of deep and extensive research into Dred Scott’s life and times, this distinguished lawyer’s own sense of the hunger of all for justice gives Am I Not a Man gripping authenticity.” - D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
“It will renew your faith in the power of the human spirit.”- Thurbert E. Baker, Attorney General of Georgia
“Illuminating, sensitive, and powerful, Shurtleff ’s fictional take on Dred Scott asks some timely questions of race and prejudice that have still not been answered.”- Robert Fleming, African American Literature Book Club
Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story by Mark Shurtleff is available at your local bookstore and online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
Available for Interview in Honor of Black History Month
Attorney General Shurtelff will be in New York, Washington D.C. Detroit and other locations around the country and is making himself available for interviews and speaking engagements during February in honor of Black History Month. You may contact Sortis Publishing at 866-375-9744 to schedule an interview or for more information.
Library of Congress
Library of Congress
If you are going to market your book to the approximately twenty thousand libraries that subscribe to the Library of Congress catalog service then you need to have a Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN). This number applies to the bibliographic record created by the Library of Congress and used by libraries. This is a great market to approach so I highly recommend it. The LCCN should be placed on the copyright page of your book.
This number cannot be issued to a book that has already been published so be sure to obtain this number well in advance of any publication date. It is also only available to U.S. Publishers that provide a place of publication on the copyright page and maintain an office in the U.S. that is capable of being contacted and answering questions.

John F. Kennedy Makes His Run for The White House
- Kennedy’s Kids by Richard Landerman
How will it impact Alex and Allison Rodgers and the Country?
For Immediate Release – Gilbert, AZ - Sortis Publishing is excited to announce the release of Kennedy’s Kids, the newest novel by author Richard Landerman. In Kennedy’s Kids, Richard Landerman takes the reader back to John F. Kennedy’s run for the white house and the effects it has on a brother and sister in a small town in California. At the beginning of the novel, politics are the farthest thing from the mind of Alex Rodgers, whose time is occupied by his jazz band and falling in love. However, his sister Allison’s vow to become the youngest delegate at the Democratic National Convention and to deliver their heavily Republican district to Kennedy will thrust Alex into the world of politics.
In this coming of age tale, we watch Alex Rodgers and his sister Allison grow up in the midst of John F. Kennedy’s call for social responsibility and how this call will change both of their lives forever. We see Alex deal with falling in love, the death of a friend, the loss of a mentor, and learning a secret about his family’s past, all as he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Little does Alex know how John F. Kennedy’s run for the presidency will provide the opportunity that may affect his life’s path.
See the impact John F. Kennedy’s message of social responsibility had on the youth of the 1960’s and how it is just as relevant today. The realization that there is a bigger world outside of our own and that we all have a responsibility to do what is best for others is part of every person’s growth into an adult. This novel reminds us of that responsibility.
Richard Landerman is the author of previous works “The Fly Rod Chronicles” and “The Man Fisher”. In Kennedy’s Kids, he takes us back to his small hometown, one of the stops along John F. Kennedy’s campaign train tour through California. He also helps us relive, or experience for the first time, the music, movies, and culture of the early 1960’s that he grew up in.
Kennedy’s Kids, published by Sortis Publishing, is available for purchase at Sortispublishing.com or Amazon.com and will soon be in bookstores across the country.
