VOICE Speaks

Themonth of March means that spring season is just around the corner with weather changes and our time jumping an hour. For the last couple of years, the month of March has given “change” a new meaning. Since Covid marched through our world, along with different variants and viruses, changes remain with us daily. We don’t hear the words “new normal” much these days since our new normal means constant change.

However, change can provide opportunities. JCP changed Voice Magazine for Women and Jan-Carol Publishing to being more active than ever online with our websites and social media. We ask that, if you have Gmail, please leave a good review for us on Google. Also, purchase JCP books either through Amazon, our JCP website, or other websites such as Walmart and BAM (available online only).

JCP brought more change with the opening of our bookstore. With the new season approaching, our Books & Gifts store will be scheduling author appearances and other events. Books are great gifts, and with close to 400 titles now, Jan-Carol Publishing offers different genres from children’s books to cozy mysteries to sci-fi. Our books are great for local book clubs and we offer book clubs discounts on our books. Watch for our loyalty program offered in our bookstore. We are also excited to welcome a new vendor in our bookstore, G & J’s Handcrafted Soaps. Their soaps are a natural blend of essential oils and fragrances with wonderful scents.

Another upcoming change for JCP will be our podcast! Our podcast promises to be different and refreshing; stay tuned for the details! Sign up for our newsletter promoting a book of the week at a discounted retail price. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and join the fun of the giveaways and other happenings. Email communications@ jancarolpublishing.com to receive our newsletter.

From all of us to all of you — HAPPY SPRING! Our Irish wish to you is that you find your pot of gold at the end of your rainbow!

Thought of the month: “Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”

Verse of the Month: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12 New King James Version (NKJV)
