PGE Publishing Round UP
PositiveSpin Newsletter Update for 2007
What is new at PGE publishing for spring of 2007?
Our newest releases and updated information is now on our Positive Gain Enterprise Website. You can take a look at our website at: www.eburg.com/~positivepr/. Among the added features is an expanded writing section complete with the release of our 3rd Edition, PGE WRITING MARKETING REPORT which features over 300 online SF/Fantasy and other genre markets.
We have launched a new section called “The Mystery series” featuring two new chapbooks in our “Thaddeus Brown Murder Mystery Series.” This includes the Sudoku Code and the latest mystery entitled, The GPS Murders. These are fun stories asking for reader participation. In the Sudoku Code, the reader not only solves the murder but also a Sudoku puzzle. In the GPS Murders, the reader can solve the murder as well as find three hidden stashes and collect prizes.
In our science fiction section we have added three more chapbooks; The Throne Cult, The Iods and the first two episodes (each a separate chapbook) of The adventures of Captain Adam Smith. This series follows Adam from earth to his becoming stranded in another universe and his quest to get home while bumping into the natives.

We have three blogs to choose from. The PGE Publishing blog is dedicated to keeping our customers and readers up to date on what is happening at PGE Publishing. You can now find this blog address on the Yahoo search engine under the title of “PGE Publishing Blog” or go directly to the site at: www.geocities.com/eightsidedhouse/index.htm .
We also have an author blog at http://blog.myspace.com/675044807 which has miscellaneous information about the author and is monthly updated with genealogical articles, SF convention results and other stories that Mr. Smith is working on.
The third blog is located at http://positivepr.livejournal.com which features writing tips and writing ideas which Mr. Smith is working on.
What writing project is Mr. Smith working on now?
Currently Mr. Smith is writing his fifth science fiction manuscript entitled, “The First Phylum”. The story is about a member of one planet sent to spy on another as a prelude to invasion and war. Phillip, a first phylum member, finds the people of his targeted destination to be quite different than his own society. He learns that differences are not always bad and he begins to wonder about the faults of his own harsh civilization for the first time. Caught in a dilemma as to inform his new friends about the impending invasion or to remain loyal to the militaristic society of home, Phillip must re-evaluate what his core of beliefs .
How is the business end of PGE publishing doing?
If you are talking sales, well were not making anybody in the industry turn their heads, but we feel each day is another day to build on the ideas, network, and products of yesterday. Concerning Internet marketing recently, we found that our second SF novel, “The T’na Chronicles” was listed some 50 times over 6 pages from a search engine request. We found references to PGE Publishing website & blog and many other products that we have completed. It was nice to see our good works in print!
Writing pace and submissions are way up over last year and it is looking to break a yearly record.
What is author, A.D. Smith’s schedule for this year?
Mr. Smith has already attended the Radcon convention in Pasco, WA. during February and the Norwescon in Sea Tac, WA. in April. He is also planning to attend the Pacific NW writer’s conference in July which will be in Seattle.
