We’re so excited here at Do Life Right, Inc. to have HomeschoolLiterature.com host a one-day virtual book release party for both THE HOWLING VOWELS and FRACTURED FATE today–Wednesday, November 16, 2011.

When asked recently which of these two books was my favorite, I had to answer honestly: I couldn’t possibly choose! Each is so unique in its own way.

THE HOWLING VOWELS by Leslie Schultz, illustrated by Heather Newman, is such a lovely middle-grade novel (set in a fictional town in Minnesota) that it makes me smile in a nostalgic sort-of way. To read more about Leslie, click here. To read more about Heather, click here.

FRACTURE FATE by Caja Coyote, illustrated by Sage Echo Sirotkin, is so full of action, adventure, superheroes, and romance, that it takes me to a different world (all while being set in a real-life town in Arizona). To read more about Caja Coyote, click here.

The answer is: YES! We believe strongly that electronic and audio books are the future of all books and we strive to keep up with the latest technologies.

With that in mind, all of our books are available in Kindle format. We are looking into other e-book formats, have found a great recording studio for future audio books (and are currently accepting voice submissions), and are even searching for foreign translators. We believe that the world is our home, not just the United States of America and other English-speaking nations.

If you have a question like this or a solution to one of our problems, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Lisa and many of the other Do Life Right, Inc. authors and illustrators love to give presentations to people of all ages!

Some topics include:

• Homeschooling
• Unschooling
• Radical Unschooling
• How to start living your dream life
• Illustration basics
• Illustration in-depth
• How to make money from writing
• and MANY more!

Please contact Lisa or one of the other DLR authors or illustrators directly to find out more!

Novel Concept by Teagan Bentley is our first book by a child author! Hear that kids? Do Life Right, Inc.’s submission guidelines do not care how old or young you are. You just have to have written something amazing! Using readers who did not know the age of the author, this children’s chapter book was picked unanimously as a “must publish” book. We are proud to add this book to our catalog! Published in April 2011.

Write a book with Monica and Julie! When two homeschooling best friends team up to enter a novel writing contest, things get busy fast! Through planning for birthdays and getting ready for Halloween, Monica and Julie’s writing adventure becomes one novel concept!

Author Teagan Bentley is a ten year old homeschooler (Radical Unschooler) from Sahuarita, Arizona. While she has been writing and “making” (engineering) stories for years, this is her first solo full-length book. In addition to reading, writing, and editing, Teagan enjoys making and selling jewelry and favicons, dancing ballet, playing video games, and participating in a variety of events. Her hula-hooping while solving the Rubik’s cube skills became famous in the 2011 Sundance film Life in a Day. To find out more about Teagan, visit www.TeagansCreations.com.

Advice from Dad: Inspiration for the Next Generation by Bill O’Hearn is Do Life Right’s first nonfiction title. Bill is also our first previously published author. We feel that it is an honor to have Bill on our team!

Bill O’Hearn is the author of four previous books, all of which speak to the possibilities that open for us when we view our world with curiosity, enthusiasm, trust, openness, laughter and a willingness to risk. The lessons he shares encourage and inspire people from all walks of life to believe in all that they are and to become all that they can become. Bill is a speaker, author and life coach, who has spent over 45 years in the life insurance industry where his accomplishments placed him in the top 2% of the world’s producers. He was a founding member of The Oregon Speakers Association and is a past member of The National Speakers Association. Bill is the product of a lifetime of learning. He has succeeded and he has failed. He has known great joy and suffered significant adversity. In the process he has discovered how to create balance and success in life, and his mission is to help others do the same. In 1980 he founded the Alpha Learning Institute for the purpose of encouraging people to expand their growth as human beings.

Introducing new author, Linda Fields, to the homeschooling fiction “field” with her new release: Cody Greene and the Rainbow Mystery, a fabulous children’s chapter book.

Linda Fields is a first time published author with a million stories in her head. She’s been writing for years, yet especially loves books for children and teens. She came up with the idea for the character of Cody after seeing that most children’s books didn’t have people from a variety of ethnicities. On a trip with her family, she was inspired with the idea of a Rainbow Mystery and instantly knew that Cody had to be the one to solve it. Linda lives a quiet life in the southwest with her family and pets. She loves reading, writing, hiking, and watching movies. Check out www.AuthorFields.com to learn more about Linda.

Illustrated by ten different authors, this book is highly unique. Each illustrator fulfilled a unique role in this book, since it was set in a northern New Mexico art gallery.

Wright on Time: Arizona, Book 1 is Do Life Right, Inc.’s flagship book. It was through writing this first book in Lisa M. Cottrell-Bentley’s children’s chapter book series that Lisa was able to draw upon her love of homeschooling, learning all the time, and fun family adventures to build a whole new world for homeschooling kids of today to see themselves in. Lisa is particularly excited at how well received non-homeschooling families have found her books.

Wright on Time: Arizona, Book 1 was published in August 2009 and is available worldwide. Through the sales of this flagship book, Do Life Right, Inc. has been able to bring more books about realistic homeschoolers of today to the kids and families who have been craving them for years, only to be told that books about kids like them aren’t interesting enough for today’s readers. Do Life Right, Inc. is proudly proving that theory wrong!
