Bonnie Kaye, M.Ed. Straight/Gay Couples Counselor

Bonnie Kaye, M.Ed. - BonKaye@aol.com
My name is Bonnie Kaye, M.Ed. I am the author of five books in the specialty field of straight/gay marriages, an area
which I am considered to be a national expert. After I paid to have my fourth book published in 2006 by Airleaf, who
turned out to be a predatory publisher, I did a great deal of research before finding a publisher for my fifth book.
I looked into over 40 companies and focused in on eight that met all my publishing needs. After narrowing my choices
down to three companies, I had an in-depth conversation with all three company owners. I chose to go with CCB Publishing
based on the integrity of the owner, Paul Rabinovitch.
Working with CCB is an author's dream. There is constant communication with the company on a daily basis as your book
is getting ready for print. If you have a question, you get a timely response. CCB takes the time to go through your
manuscript and makes excellent suggestions. My book, How I Made My Husband Gay: Myths About Straight Wives,
was ready within 4 weeks--unheard of with any other publishing company.
When I compared prices, CCB is the most reasonable of all for the money you pay. I have recommended many other authors
who are currently working with CCB, and they are thrilled. My faith in the publishing world has been restored.
I strongly recommend CCB to any author who is looking for a quality product at a quality price. No company can beat
their outstanding personalized service taking away the fears and anxiety of getting a book published.

After the agony of being victimized by Airleaf Publishing, it has been an incredible experience publishing with
CCB Publishing. I’d like to express a special thank you to Bonnie Kaye for the recommendation. With Airleaf, it
was impossible to communicate with the staff and obtain answers. In four months, they communicated with me a total
of 3 times—first, to ask me for money, second to tell me four months later that I was "right on schedule," and
after I received nothing from them, last, to deny my request for a refund.
Contacts to and from CCB Publishing: 78! (That’s seventy-eight folks!) All this communication was done within
the time frame of only 46 days! At that point my book, GRILL!, was print ready and up on the CCB
Publishing web site. Paul went above and beyond the call of duty. His response time was usually within hours. He
put up with my numerous questions and countless revisions. He made me feel that these questions and revisions were
an everyday process toward achieving a higher standard for the finished product. I’ve learned so much from working
with Paul and have regained the security and faith I had lost from being a victim with Airleaf. I am now looking
forward to completing my various unpublished and tucked away manuscripts. My faith has been restored thanks to his
professionalism. I can now go about my passion for writing with more confidence.
Thank you, Paul; you are truly a wonderful publisher and sincere human being. You are deserving of all the success
this world has to offer.

Getting my book in print for a reasonable price with integrity doesn’t come close to the outstanding service I
experienced in working with Paul Rabinovitch at CCB Publishing. I was an Airleaf victim and following Bonnie Kaye’s
advice was the best thing I could have done.
When I recall the dishonesty I experienced with Airleaf and the horrible delays with my book, lasting more than a
year, I can only say that Paul is a real breath of fresh air. I needed my book Our Puppet Government out
before the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, and this company had my book finished and in my hands in less than 45 days.
Proofing, finishing my cover and printing without one problem or delay - and what was so amazing is I never waited a
moment for an e-mail response.
I had sought marketing help from Airleaf for my previously published books – only to find I was lied to there also.
Although Paul does not propose to market your book, he has proven to be extremely helpful in assisting me with my own
marketing efforts to contact radio, TV, and other influential personalities. Thanks to Paul’s support, I have two radio
interviews scheduled, with two more reviewing my book, and hopefully more to come. I’m also on all the distributor lists
in the U.S. and abroad.
I don’t know what more I could say than I was blessed by taking Bonnie Kaye’s advice, and want to thank both Bonnie
and CCB Publishing for their integrity. If every publisher could follow CCB’s performance, there would be few problems
with authors ever reaching publication.

It is not often that I write a testimonial, but then again it is not often that I receive the level of professionalism
and attention to detail that I received from Paul Rabinovitch and CCB Publishing.
When I finished writing my third novel, Manhattan Serenade, I was in search of a reputable and reliable publisher.
My first two publishers, one of which was Airleaf, unfortunately did not rise to that level. Then a friend of mine and fellow author, Bonnie Kaye,
enthusiastically recommended her new publisher, CCB Publishing. From the moment I had my first telephone conversation with
Paul I knew that Bonnie was right and I had found myself someone I could work with.
During the entire revision period Paul was extremely patient, polite but most of all efficient. The e-mails were
answered promptly and all questions answered.
In my opinion, CCB Publishing is one of those unique publishers that really cares about making its authors look good
and getting the best product out into the literary market.
To paraphrase the current political adage: I am Joseph Steven and I approve of CCB Publishing.

My name is Sarah Harrison, EDS. Having written my first book, You Love Your Daddy, Don’t You? in 2006,
my goal was and still is to assist others who have suffered from child and sexual abuse in their lives.
The first attempt to publish my book with Airleaf was less than encouraging. They lied to me, took over $2,000
of my money and kept my manuscript for almost two years. I felt like giving up and never thought I’d ever see my book
in print. However I had many friends and associates encouraging me, wanting to know when they could purchase my book.
This is when my friend, Bonnie Kaye, who has helped other Airleaf victims suggested contacting CCB Publishing.
I am so grateful she did because it is like a dream to work with Paul Rabinovitch. He renewed my enthusiasm and made
me feel good about my book again. He understood my feelings and even helped me reword some phrases when I asked for
his help.
When we converse by email, it never takes him longer than a couple of hours to reply even if it is just to say that
he’s received my message and will get back to me in a timely manner.
I signed my contract in mid-February, and now before the end of March it is being printed. I have seen the first
copy and am so delighted. It has been a true pleasure to work with Paul. CCB Publishing also allows its authors to
have their books listed as “returnable” which encourages bookstores to purchase books. This is definitely an added
advantage to us authors. I will recommend CCB Publishing to everyone I know.

On the rebound from a bad experience with Airleaf, Bonnie Kaye suggested that I give CCB Publishing a look.
Somewhat reluctant after being taken by Airleaf, I decided to give CCB a try. Paul soon restored by faith
in the publishing industry. They started on my book immediately and never let up; e-mail after e-mail started flowing
in. I could feel myself getting excited about my book again. The communication with me was consistent throughout the
process, which was so much different from my first experience. My book, Devil Rising, is now in print.
Paul worked overtime to get it to me by Christmas. He is very precise and professional and I hope to
publish many more books with him. As I told him one day not too long ago; Paul, you are amazing. I only wish everyone
could have the pleasure of publishing a book with CCB.

This may be a strange thing for an author to say but words cannot express how wonderful it is to work with Paul.
He gives you faith in yourself, and he makes you feel as if you are important to him. I really appreciate his
patience and his friendship. We had such a close feeling in our working relationship that I can hardly believe
we've never met. I am so happy that I chose to have him publish my books. I can hardly believe I have 4 books out now
and I'm working on number 5.
I do know that without Paul, the books would still be a dream, but now they are a reality.

I have had the honour of working with CCB Publishing for the last three years and recently published my third book
Every Cat Has A Story, part of the Every Story series of books. The hands on expertise
is clearly evident through every aspect of the publishing process. A writer is never neglected, e-mails are quickly
answered and every book published shows the highest standards of a most gifted publisher.
For those encountering the frustrations typically found in other publishing companies, this will not be your
experience with CCB Publishing. Paul Rabinovitch is an ethical professional and CCB Publishing is an established
company that always delivers a quality product. Each writer’s individual creative process is respected and honoured
with a personalized service that goes far beyond any other company I have worked with in the publishing world.
