IS IT NOW? THE END OF DAYS!
NANCY LEE SHRADER
Publish America March 2006 1-4137-8144-6 Religious
Auguest 2006 Reviews
The signs are there, but do we see them? This book is a verification of documented scripture and prophecies of what is to come.
This book was not written so much for the faithful, but more for those without faith or who’s faith is teetering. The problem I foresee is getting it into those hands. The faithless rarely seek the truth, so it’s up to those who do believe to get the message across. Whereas I did lose temporary consciousness with some of the repetition, I found the book to be an overall enlightenment, not only did this Author list scriptural foundation, but she also broke them down for easier understanding. I highly recommend this book and its message. Read it and pass it along.

Review of IS IT NOW? The End of Days!
Rated as Excellent Five Full Feathers! 
Over the course of several years I have read many books on the "End Time" events that are told about in scripture. Quite often those books used "theologically correct terminology," which proved to be more confusing that it did in answering questions. I had the opportunity to read the book, IS IT NOW? The End of Days! By Nancy Shrader and what a book it was. Is it Now? The End of Days is one of the easiest to understand books on prophecy that I have ever read. Not only is this book filled with scriptures releating to end time events, it sounds a clarion call to people everywhere to come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nancy Shrader will be the first to tell you that by no means is she considered to be a Bible Scholar or a renowned prophecy scholar, minister or educator. Nancy may not use the big words that you would expect to find in a study of this nature, but rather uses everyday words that most folks can and will understand. While you may not agree with everything that Nancy Shrader has written you must admire her zeal to search scriptures to find the truth. If you are looking for a clear, easy to read, understandable book on end time events, then IS IT NOW? The End of Days! is the book for you.

Review by James Mckinley Hibbard
Author of SIN OF THE POPPAS
We have heard great sermons preached about: The end of time...Days, watched movies and even read many books concerning this prophecy. Yet I doubt, if such prophetic inspiration has ever gone to such depth as: Nancy Lee Shrader's new book: "Is It Now? The End Of Days!" Useing the Bible and scripture, upon scripture the author backs up her words and views, not only concerning the end days, but of what we must do afterward, where we will go ( as believer's) and explains the kingdom of Heaven, that awaits those who endure: the glorious coming of the Lord. The author offers her: Inspiration and wisdom of words to the readers of her book, as a study of prophetic signs. It has most definately left this reader wondering: are we now living in the end days?. Read this book, then you decide: Is it now and are we ready? Thank you; Nancy Lee, for this book to study by.

In Nancy Lee Schrader's book, "IS IT NOW? The End of Days!" readers will discover a wealth of information regarding what the Bible says about the end of the world as we know it. Her format is much like a handbook, providing not only the verse, but also including the text of the verse so the reader doesn't have to go back and forth between the Bible and her book. The book is in a reader-friendly format, and makes an excellent study guide. It is obvious that Nancy has done a great deal of extensive research and put a herculean effort into this work. I was impressed with her ability to share the truth in a very direct, yet unpretentious manner. I also found it very interesting to review the differences she noted between the King James Version of the Bible and the New International Version. I recommend this book for any person who is interesting in doing a self-paced study, as well as a group study course, regarding the Rapture. Are we truly in the end times? I am certain if you! read this book, you will be more certain of the answer to that question.

Sue, I enjoy a good Bible Study Book, 08/23/2006
Rating:   
Nancy's publishing was interesting. Where she included the actual Bible verses to compare her opinions to the actual scripture, made it easier. It has shown that Christianity is a personal choice, but most of all not something to be taken lightly or put off to a last minute dicission. If nothing else it will make you question yourself and todays happenings.

Review: Donna Thompson Author of Plot Twist
Rated:    
The signs are all around us, but are believers as well as non-believers seeing them. Nancy Lee Shrader gives us her personal interpretation of the scriptures, but also gives us the references to check them out for ourselves. Another thing I like about Nancy's book, is the fact, she uses down to earth language to get her point across.
Most of us have heard stories about what we can expect at the end of time, but Nancy Lee has given Bible verses to back up what she believes. Are we living in the days God calls the beginning of sorrows? Not everyone will agree, but her book will certainly leave readers asking that all important question. IS It Now The End of Days? By reading Nancy's book and the bible, we are closer to having an answer.

BOOK SIGNINGS
SECOND BOOK SIGNING
My second book signing will be at the HIGHLAND FESTIVAL in Abbingdon, Virginia on August 8, 2006 from 9:00 to 6:00. Please join me there.
My second book signing was my first outdoor festival. Abingdon is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, with its old historic buildings. I looked in one direction to see a horse drawn buggy and in the other direction a bus that looked like what I first thought was a real trolley. I met three other authors during my day of signing. Being interviewed on the local radio station was James Campbell, author of Luther's Mule and Moonshine Money and Misery. The two other authors signing with me were Bridgett Anne Jackson, author of Secrets of a Hidden Trail, and Roger Gilmner, author of Kit Fox on the Prowl. I am looking forward to another year and another Festival in Abingdon, Virginia.
To Dorothy, the desk clerk at my motel. She might not have been at the Festival for the signing of the books, but asked for one without the glamor of the day. Thank you, Dorothy, you will forever be in my prayers.
FIRST BOOK SIGNING
EMAIL SENT TO FRIENDS
Well I'm back from the Festival. Sold four books and could have sold about 16 if I was able to take credit cards. Those people took my business cards so maybe they will order from the publisher or one of the other on line venders. I spoke with a bookstore owner from Kentucky, Mary Ellen introduced me to, and he took three books on consignment. I was also give a card by the marketing director for Borders and she asked me to send her a book. There may be an opening there, time will tell. Anyway, I had a wonderful time, the reception was very casual and I listened to a talk by Sharon McCrum, the author of Saint Dale. My husband attended all the programs while I was signing and seemed to have a good time. Before any of you ask, I'm glad I went, I had a great time and met four PA authors. I was also given cards from other publishing companies. Oh when you check into the Holiday Inn as a signing author, you are treated like royality. Would I do it again?

Great for you, Nancy. It sounds like you had a great time. It is nice to be treated like royalty once in a while. Hey, we are royalty. We worked hard writing, getting published, and promoting our books. We deserve some royalty treatment.

Mary Ellen
Nancy, It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I sure wish that my book had been out, but it probably won't be out until June. Do they have this festival every year? I would love to go next year because I will have my book by then. Sound like you may have all kinds of prospects by going there. I think it would be a wonderful experience, and I hope you see many sales from it. That is what we all need. Just a chance to get out names out there. Keep up the good work. I bet it really makes you feel like a writer. HuH! Donna
Nancy,
Nancy I am happy for you and the festival. Seems like you really enjoyed yourself and I wish I could have been there. But there will be another occasion I am sure. God Bless.

Subject: IS IT NOW? The End of Days! Pre-production
Dear Ms. Shrader:
Your manuscript is progressing through the publication process without complications, but it is still in the very early stages.
Your manuscript has moved to our text production department where it is waiting to be assigned to an editor. The wait time varies, and we understand that this is the hardest part for an author. In the publishing industry, among traditional publishers such as PublishAmerica, the average length of time for this wait is over one year. We are proud to inform you that our time line, which could be as long as several months, is much shorter!
The editor will do an initial proofing and e-mail you a copy of those proofs for review. You will have two weeks to go over your proofs and make any grammatical or typographical changes. Your editor will then make those changes and finalize the manuscript. You will have another review period of 48 hours to ensure that your requested changes were made. Once you return this second proof, your manuscript will be final, and the book will enter the cover design department.
A cover designer will create and format the cover image of your book. Then, you will have a 48 hour review period to request any changes. Once your cover is finalized, your book is sent to our printers, and your author copies are ordered. Approximately 6-8 weeks later, your book will be released to the industry, which means that it will be available through Ingram, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble.com. Also, it will be available through all bookstores nationwide.
Have a nice day.
Thank You, Amanda Author Support Team
Hello, Nancy. I am just about done with your book:" Is It Now The End Of
Days." And first of all I can say this, without reservation: It is different
and it is truly a study, into the whole biblical concept of the prophecies
of our Lords coming and of what we can expect!!!!!! You my dear friend have
done your homework, and I for one, am astonished at the depth you have went
to in the word; to write this book. More later, God Bless.

Well Nancy, I have finished your book this morning and will add a little to
what I have already said .Is it now, is not a book to be taken lightly;
rather, it is a book to study in depth. After reading the first few pages, I
found myself going back over what I had read; more carefully, thus studying
your words and the scriptures you had quoted. It was a learning
experience!!!
You have asked me to be honest, in my review of your
book, so here goes: I believe the title of your book alone will catch the
attention of its readers, there-fore drawing them into buying it and once
they do; like me, the reader will begin studying, not merely reading. The
conclusion to your book is this: the reader will be left; again as I am,
thinking: IS IT NOW THE END OF DAYS????? God Bless you, Nancy and I pray
for the success and inspiration of your book.
Your friend: Sonny.

PRESS RELEASE
Publish America
Accepts Aspiring West Virginia
Author's Work
Publish America, is proud to announce that it has acquired the rights to publish IS IT NOW? The End of Days! by Nancy Lee Shrader of Beckley, West Virginia. IS IT NOW? The End of Days! ISBN # 1-4137-8144-6, is a study into the End Time Prophecies written in the Bible. Publish America, is also negotiating a second contract with Ms. Shrader for another book in a different genre.
Ms. Shrader, was born and raised in Beckley, West Virginia and has raised her children there. Ms. Shrader is a 1965 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School and attending Beckley College and Center College in Charleston, West Virginia. Ms. Shrader says that she began her writing career as an exercise in memory control as she suffers from short term memory loss but states that her writing has made a big difference. Ms. Shrader states that she just started writing and it turned into books. Besides IS IT NOW? The End of Day! ISBN # 1-4137-8144-6, Ms. Shrader has written two other Bible Studies and two three-book series. A contract is being negotiated for the first book in her Mayweather House series.
After finishing three Bible Studies and the two three-book series she began searching for a publishing company that might be interested in her writing talent.
"I tried all the traditional publishing companies," she said.
While doing so she came across several companies that looked promising but finally settled on Publish America.
"After receiving an email in answer to my query, I was asked to send them the first three chapters of IS IT NOW? The End of Days! for consideration. After several weeks I was contracted and picked up by Publish America."
Ms. Shrader signed her contract with Publish America on Valentines Day 2005 and states that her book is with Publish America’s Editing department.
Most of Publish America’s books are written by new and undiscovered talent such as Beckley’s newly discovered author. A traditional publishing company, Publish America pays advances and royalties while offering distinct alternative to authors who would most likely be overlooked by larger, more commercial publishers, simply due to their lack of experience in the industry. More details will soon appear at www.publishamerica.com. When the book is released is will be available at all local bookstores as a trade paperback. Learn more about Ms. Shrader on her personal website, www.freewebs.com/nannalee/.
