The topic-at-hand with Independent- and Self-Publishing for the last few weeks has centered around the transition from CreateSpace to KDP. Lots of information swirling around . . . SO MUCH that our clients are telling us they are confused about where to start. NO WORRIES! We’ve spoken with the experts, and ran a few tests ourselves . . […]

Our L.I.F.T. (Living In Faith & Trust) Author this month is Lacha Hughes, for her book, “God’s GPS: Your Guide to Finding Your Path, Purpose, and Peace.” I met Lacha through a mutual friend, and immediately noticed her contagious exuberance for life and for helping others. It was a joy to help her bring her vision to […]

It was a simple question coming out of the mouth of a very frustrated Mom as she watched her 4-year-old hop-and-skip-and-dance around the other shoppers waiting in line to check out. Mom wanted her to settle down and behave . . . you know . . . “get in line” . . . look “well-trained.” […]

If you have not yet received any emails from CreateSpace about your books, you […]

You know that feeling . . . when a song gets stuck in your head in a perpetual loop? I don’t even recall where I would have heard this song recently, but there it was . . . straight from Mary Poppins! Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a K.I.T.E. Up to the highest height […]

January 2019 will be the 15th Anniversary of Davis Creative. I’d love to be able to say it has all been “smooth sailing,” but as with any growing business, we’ve celebrated our “ups” and learned from our “downs”! Looking back over the last decade-and-a-half, I’ve learned 3 key strategies for thriving . . . ALIGN your […]

The grand-bubs stopped by for a few hours  last week while Mom ran some errands. Ages 6.5 and 4 years, they are still not too sure about our super-wiggly, hyper-active new puppy who wants to lick their faces and jump all over them. Having a 4-month-old puppy around is a new experience for them. They […]

Complacency becomes the fog that obscures our hopes and dreams and convinces us that it is much easier to just DO-IT-LATER. As we settle into our complacency, we run the risk of convincing ourselves that all is well, yet bemoan others as we watch them sail on by. Much was the story of Meryl. Her […]

It was a much simpler time, in 1939. In this photo, my mother was 16 and on her way to the annual “Cherokee Strip Land Run” celebration in her home town of Ponca City, Oklahoma.
