Discovering Legs:
Hip Hip Hooray! It's September! This time of year means getting back to work, school and reflecting upon and sharing with family and friends the explorations and discoveries of the summer.
For MasterpieceFactory our summer commenced with a boost thanks to Alex Mihailovich and CTV News, who came to the humble home of Mr. Chaplin to conduct an interview that was broadcast on May 27, 2007. During a time when Toronto was buzzing about urban youth violence, Mr. Mihailovich (a news reporter and photo journalist now anchoring for CTV Sudbury) gave Mr. Chaplin an opportunity share his first-hand experiences with raising a child diagnosed with autism, living in a troubled neighbourhood, then recogninzing the catalyst (his son) that would turn an undesirable past into a future full of ambition (publishing unique needs literature) and good.

Bug Bites Christopher…:
There is no faster way to catch the busy-bug than to have your story picked up by a national news station. And with a big busy-bug bite it was time to renovate and produce a professional, practical, inspiring, user-friendly website. Thanks to Carlos Dantas and R. Young who set the foundation upon which Justin Philip (Horizon Graphics & Web Solutions) developed an extensive, inspiring website that features crisp images, informative content, a shopping cart and an interactive forum. All that is required to join our forum is a username (of your choice) an e-mail address, pass code and you'll be ready to read and comment on all of our published articles, books, poems free of charge. You'll have the opportunity to post your own poetry, stories and discussion topics too.
Inspiring Book Reviews:
Our website now also features book reviews such as that written by Dr. Bob Rich, about Stumbling Upon My Purpose. This review was published in the Australian Journal Of Counselling Psychology (number 7(2), page 16). Bodola and We're Going To Do It also received creditable reviews and we would like to thank Dr. Bob Rich again, as well as Jan Kovarik (copy editor), Frances Savella (Special Education Teacher Toronto District School Board), A. LaRocque-Rooney (ECE, CYW, DSW), Tara Stephen (Literacy Co-ordinator & Elementary Teacher with Toronto District School Board and President of Centennial Child Care Centre Board of Directors ), and Jody Felske (Intermediate Teacher TDSB). Also, thanks to all the other professionals that have submitted comments, testimonials and reviews for taking the time to submit their written honest opinions about our books. The greatest rewards for our diligence has come from our readers and their children who have purchased our Encouragement Stories and continue to respond positively to our unique books. Visit our forum, read our stories and let the world know what you think about our stories too.

Act Alive, Aliens Are Coming!!!:
MasterpieceFactory Inc. is proud to announce the release of
Act Alive & Say High Five, a children's picture book that illustrates the difficulties parents and their shy children encounter as well as solutions on how to overcome social anxiety. This giggly-written (by Christopher a. Chaplin Illustrated by Theodora Sirko) story is a must have for parents of shy children who need behaviour management tools that are practical and supportive.
Theodora Sirko, our resident illustrator extraordinaire, is working her magic to illustrate Mr. I-Presume Visits Planet Earth, what will surely be Mrs. Sirko & Mr. Chaplin's most whimsical humorous children book collaboration to date. This story will also possess a very valuable social-emotional lesson for all ages.
Along with publishing children's books, MastepieceFactory Inc. intends to release Mr. Chaplin's debut poetry book titled Samples Of My Soul: A Mind-opening Collection Of Fresh Expressive Poetry and HeadItchies (c). Mr. Chaplin's book will be about pursuing, procuring and becoming your life's purpose, existing with autism, anxiety, depression and the abstract aspects of love and life.
Wholesale Prices:
Without the financial backing to produce large quantities of our books to distribute to wholesalers who will in turn sell them to retailers, MasterpieceFactory Inc. will give its audience a chance to pre-purchase their items directly from us at wholesale prices. This will enable us to finance a production run that will produce higher quality books at a lower cost, making hard-cover books available to you for paperback prices. Start your Christmas shopping by visiting our website and pre-purchase your books today.
Thank You:
We appreciate and would like to express an enthusiastic welcome to all the people who are helping MasterpeiceFactory Inc. become a premier publisher of unique needs literature.
Until our next newsletter, see you in our forum.
