speakers for self-publishing or how to get published
by Kelli Perkins 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

I'm looking for speakers for a public program on self-publishing (should I self publish or find a publisher OR how to self publish for Kindle or other platforms) or the state of e-publishing or how to get published in general. Something that will appeal to our writers groups. Would prefer someone in West Michigan. Have you had a program recently that you can recommend?

Puff Rocking Chairs for Sale
by Andrea Estelle 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hi Everyone, We are selling three puff rocker chairs and a puff ottoman. They are five years old. There are 2 black rocker cushions and one grey cushion and one black ottoman. The cushions on the rockers have some tears and repairs. The cushion on the ottoman has a stain. The steel frames are all in very good condition. It would probably be a good idea to get new cushion covers for all of them, unless you are able to fix them. We are asking $50 for the ottoman and $175 each for the rockers - it's up to you if you want to take the cushion and frame or just the frame for that price. Here is a website with the prices of these rockers new: http://www.stowecraft.com/ctgy/ctc-rockers.html We considered replacing the cushion covers ourselves and keeping them (because they are very comfy!) but have decided to go with a different style of chair. If you are interested please email me back off the listserv. You would need to arrange pick up of the chairs. Thanks for considering!
