Happy New Year!

Gina — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:45:28 +0000

I know we all say this, but I cannot believe another year has passed already! Our goal this year is to complete our Services page on our website. We will be offering fellow authors the opportunity to self-publish their works through a division of Red Ant to be known as The Colony. We are also planning to test our hand at creating e-books to be downloaded for your reading and viewing pleasure!

Additionally, Co-Founder Tammy West-Ruiz has started a blog showcasing some of her original artwork and the people who inspire her. Have a look at http://eyeshould.blogspot.com/ .

And lastly, don’t forget to LIKE us on Facebook. We occassionally post special offers there for our fans and friends.

Happy 2012!

How to Feel Pretty Good!

In conjunction with Robin Dohrn-Simpson, we were able to donate 18 copies of The Quiet Lion to the Children’s Hospital. They were ecstatic and that makes us feel pretty darn good! Thanks Robin.

The Impenetrable Castle

Jewel Rogers, age 9, submitted her illustration of the impenetrable castle. Consider writing a story based on the illustration and send it in. So many things can happen in a castle!!

Vivant Gives Back Project

Gina — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:22:29 +0000

Red Ant Publishing strongly supports any Epilepsy fundraising efforts in honor Jake Anaya, the inspiration for our first published book, The Quiet Lion: A Quest for his Lost Voice. We’ve met lots of friends and families affected by the condition and recently said goodbye to two teenagers in our circle of support who passed as a result of the condition and its side effects. You can help raise funding with just a click of your mouse! Please support our cause by voting for the Dravet Sydrome Foundation with the Vivant Gives Back Project and help us win a portion of the $1.2 million they are giving to local charities.

Services…Coming Soon!

Tammy and I are often approached about how we created, published and marketed our first book, The Quiet Lion. It was a long journey for sure! I’m not saying we didn’t make a few mistakes here and there but we absolutely learned a lot! True to our original vision, we are still very interested in helping others realize their dreams of becoming published children’s book authors. We may not be able to follow the same route as the big publishing houses, but we can help you the same way we helped ourselves! Look for our services page, coming soon to our website, and join The Colony.
