The Merge of Indy Book Publishers

So it's official - Createspace.com and Kindle e-books have merged.  

We’re excited to announce that CreateSpace (CSP) and Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) will become one service, and in the coming days, we will give CreateSpace members the ability to move their account and titles. To ensure a quality experience, we will add links to the CreateSpace member dashboard in phases so authors may see it at different times. As a reminder, Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) now offers Expanded Distribution to sell your paperbacks to physical bookstores in the US, as well as the ability to sell your paperback books on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com.au (Amazon.mx coming soon). With these features, KDP’s paperback distribution will be on par with CreateSpace’s distribution. KDP also offers features that aren’t available on CreateSpace. These include the ability to purchase ads to promote paperbacks on Amazon.com and locally printed author copies in Europe.

As a result of these enhancements to KDP and our ongoing efforts to provide a more seamless experience for managing your paperback and digital books, CreateSpace and KDP will become one service. On KDP, your paperbacks will still be printed in the same facilities, on the same printers, and by the same people as they were on CreateSpace.

In a few weeks, we’ll start automatically moving your CreateSpace books to KDP. Your books will remain available for sale throughout the move and you’ll continue to earn royalties. Once we begin this process you’ll be unable to edit existing titles or create new titles on CreateSpace. (Includes my current project -- MC).

If you have a release planned soon or you would like to start the move yourself, we are making updates that will allow you to move your entire catalog in just a few steps. During this transition, you can contact KDP customer support by email and access phone support in English.

There are a few payment and printing fee differences associated with the move. Going forward you will be paid on KDP’s payment schedule. CreateSpace pays monthly royalties 30 days after the end of the month in which they were earned while KDP pays monthly royalties approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which they were earned. As a result, you’ll be paid in September for any royalties earned in August on CreateSpace and be paid in October for any royalties earned in August on KDP. In addition, some low-page count books will see an increase in printing fees when they are printed in the UK and EU. This affects a small number of titles. If your titles are affected by this change, you will receive a separate email on this topic. Learn more about KDP’s printing fees here.

To learn more about the move and review the latest, visit here. We’ll be in touch with more updates in the coming weeks.

It is still Day 1 for independent publishing. As Amazon’s recent shareholder letter noted, there are more than a 1,000 authors who earn more than a $100,000 a year from their work with us. We could not be more optimistic about the future of independent publishing and this change will allow us to innovate faster for you.

Best Regards,
The CreateSpace and KDP Team

 

Parrot as inspiration of the Ba Bird in Egypt

The Ancient Egyptians made the Soul as the Ba Bird, or "white dove" in the New Testament of the Baptism of Christ, after the South American Parrot.  Since the people of the Americas are red-skinned (like Egyptians) and also built similar structures (Pyramids, Temples) as in Egypt, this may have occurred in Ancient times as either a colony or Trade Route from Egypt.  Are the Americas the legendary land of Punt, the Origin of the Egyptians, which lay to the West?  Parrots as you know mimic Human language by repetition of sounds.  The Ba has a human head, as one who speaks Human languages.

Has anyone given much thought to correcting the Hebrew Bible with Gerald Massey's works? 

I am using an e-book Kindle version, and am reading the comparison of the Egyptian "Destruction of Mankind" & "Book of the Dead" to compare to the Exodus in the Bible.  The Coming Forth by Daylight is the coming forth or Exodus of the people from Amenta (Egyptian Netherworld), from the West (Amenta) to the East (Celestial Canaan); the Coming Forth by Daylight = the name for the Book of the Dead, Papyrus of Ani.  The rising of the Sun (Ra) from the Lotus of Creation in the Primordial Ocean of Nu (Flood or Deluge) is the rising of the child Moses from the Papyrus Ark or raft; the adoption of Moses by Pharaoh's Daughter is Nephthys, his mother being the Virgin-Maiden Isis.  The turning of the flood waters of Nu (The Eye of Ra, Sakhmet, who floods the Earth as punishment from Ra) by Horus/Ra into Wine or Red Beer is at the Last Supper (The Supper of the Human Race by Sakhmet, who "devours them") is the changing of water into wine by Jesus Christ. The waters are changed to red wine/beer in imitation of blood as consumed by Sakhmet.

The Pyramid Kings at Giza, Egypt

All of the Great Pyramids at Giza have one thing in common: Solar Names.
Men-kau-Ra built the Divine Pyramid.
Khaf-ra built the 2nd Great Pyramid.
and Khufu built the Horizon of Khufu, or the Great Pyramid.

Pyramids were Solar Temples.  Each represented the rays of sunlight from the Heavens.  The Pharaohs ascended to Heaven to join with Ra the Sun God in their Afterlife.

But.... Such was not the case for Khufu.
He built the largest Pyramid, but he was not well-liked, preferably compared to a Dictatorship by his people.  So someone effaced his Divine Name to prevent this from happening - they effaced Ra from his Name so that it reads KH-UFU, not RA-UFU.  

Tell this to Dr. Zahi "Cheops" Hawass.

From KV62 to KV55... From Memory.

Smenkhkara's Tomb was violated early in Tutankhamon's reign.  Tutankhamon moved the Mummy of Smenkhkara to KV55 for safety.  Smenkhkara's tomb was KV62, which Tut retained until he was finally interred there after being moved from KV23 (King Ay), once it was discovered his remains were there.  So Tut had "2 tombs," one of which was "recycled."  

The Mummy of Smenkhkara was genetically identified as "Tut's Father/Brother" according to DNA Exams after 2008.  Tut said his father was "Amonhotep 3 Nebmaatra."  There is "no word for grandfather" in Ancient Egypt, but, both Nebmaatra and Tutankhamon had a "Clubbed Foot"; the KV55 Mummy did not.   Genetic conditions like that do not skip generations from Grandfather to Grandson, but from Father to Son!  The Mother of Tut was Smenkhkara's sister, as yet unidentified.

The Co-Regency of Nebmaatra / Amonhotep4-Akhenaton was from 10-12 years.  If Tut was born in the later years, he could be Pharaoh at 7 to 9 yrs.  Akhenaton ruled about 17 years, including 10-12 with his father and 3+ years with his successor(s).  If Tut was born at year 10, he was 7 when the second co-regency was in effect.  He was crowned at age 9 according to Egyptology.  A successor may have ruled independently for 2 years.
