Excursion to MarsChristina V. Kueppers’ new book, Excursion to Mars, is now available in paperback on Amazon.

The book is also available on CreateSpace.

Excursion to Mars is about family relationships, love, and support. A five-year-old boy named Nole from Berkeley, California, has a big dream—to go to Mars! Will his dream come true? Kids love reading about space and are fascinated with space travel stories. Excursion to Mars would make a good holiday present for children.

BAIPA’s Linda Jay edited the book, and Helen Chernova, a professional artist from Saint Petersburg, Russia, was the illustrator.  For more information about Christina V. Kueppers, visit her website at: modernfairytaleteller.com.   Christina2

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.

We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.

Do join us!

—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
