Announcements of policy pages, Energion events, and other company business.
Following our experiment with briefly offering worldwide free shipping for one product, we have decided to make this a permanent feature of our direct sales site, Energion Direct. Well, almost permanent. We’re going to test this until December 31, 2009, with the expectation that if it is successful, we will choose to make it permanent…
I have been a participant in the Christian Carnival for a couple of years now via my personal blogs, but I have not involved this company blog because it is commercial. It continues to be inappropriate for me to submit posts from this blog or to host here, but I’m going to begin announcing the…
It doesn’t look like it will be a major problem for us at this time, but Tropical Depression 4 should be passing by to our east overnight. This can result in loss of power and loss of internet. If you do not hear from us on Monday, don’t worry. We’re probably just temporarily shut down.
Because of the number of reviews and other posts to which we need to link, we have added the Miniposts plugin to this site and you can now read these short post in the right sidebar near the top. We have this set not to send these posts out in the RSS feed, but at…
During the accidental suspension of our Twitter account, I removed links so that people would not be mislead by links to a page that wasn’t working. Those links are now restored. In addition, here are a few more social media links that may be useful: Energion Publications Friend Feed – this feed aggregates a number…

Some questions have come up recently about our policy of providing free advance and/or review copies to various reviewers, including bloggers. Our policy is very simple. If you are a reviewer for any publication, a blogger, or have a twitter account and will make the commitment to use that medium to discuss the book, you…
There’s a slight risk in sending out advance copies that are printed before the editing and proofreading process is finished. I put a nice notice on the front that this is an advance copy and work continues. In general nobody complains, but in those cases in which I give advance copies to people I know,…
I welcome Janet Lister (2girlsmom on twitter) to the team at Energion Publications. She will be working from home largely managing our social media, including our twitter account and Facebook group. She will be doing a number of other things around the web as well. She’s my daughter as well, and I’m blessed to have…
I have a hard enough time editing non-fiction, but here’s a good article on editing a novel. I get asked about the editing process frequently enough, especially by new or would-be authors. We don’t publish fiction yet, but that doesn’t keep people from cornering me and hoping I’ll share my ignorance in that area as…
