  • Why Pay It Forward?

    ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ While I was getting ready to launch this book to the public, I was simply going to offer it for sale in the traditional way. But every time I tried to do that, something just didn't feel right.

    ✧ This is a book that refocuses on the true meaning of Christmas. I wanted the marketing plan to also be inspired by the true Christmas Spirit.

    ✧ With that in my heart, I wanted to offer at least one copy of the book to every new visitor for FREE! But how could I afford to do that? That's when the Pay It Forward plan was born!

    ✧ Now, you can be a part of this extra special marketing plan! With your help, this book can reach children and families in the world in a very special way, a way that matches the Spirit of Christmas!

The Making Of

Once Upon a Christmas Morning

  • Combining the Music with the Book

    As I mentioned, I'm actually a musician--so I got to work with the song for the book first. The score was professionally produced and recorded with dozens of live orchestral players from around the world. All the instruments in the production are real.

    ~

    The lyrics of the song are written on every page of the book, to listen or read along with. A QR code at the front of the book links to the included song. No app required.

  • Finding the True Meaning of Christmas

    While looking to buy a nativity set for inspiration on my book, I could not find any at a big box retail chain. The manager said:

    "We don't Carry Nativity Sets."

    ~

    I continued to look around, and something literally fell off the shelf in front of me to reveal behind it some Christmas cards of Mary holding Jesus. This became the anthem for my project:

    ~

    "We need to let some things 'fall off the shelf' so that the true meaning of Christmas can shine through!"

  • Finding the Right Artist: Simon Treadwell

    I was nearly scammed by a fake online "artist" who had stolen artwork from another man. After some research, I found the portfolio to be fraudulent. The true man behind the art I was seeing was Simon Treadwell, a renowned Christmas card artist.

    ~

    I connected with Simon and his agent, and confirmed that the person I had found was truly a scammer. It's amazing to me that without the aid of that scammer, I never would have found the artist I needed for this beautiful book!
