A note from Connie:

Hello, Friends -- Life moves on, and "Books from the Heart" is moving on as well. I am no longer offering custom bookmaking services, bookmaking kits, or book sales. In the weeks ahead, this site will gradually (probably very gradually!) become a resource site for bookmakers and self-publishers. In the meantime, feel free to contact me if you want to chat about/brainstorm your current or upcoming publishing project. My thanks to all of you for your interest through the years. May you grace the world with many more books!

-- CMc

PS: The nonprofit writing contest for children noted on this site -- The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration -- not only lives on, it is flourishing. Please take a look and then tell your family, friends, teachers, and others about this wonderful opportunity to inspire young people to learn and write about their family's history -- and perhaps to become published authors! (So now you know how my time is being spent. . . !)
