• She has also written and published 10 children’s books with one in Korean and one is Russian working with her sister, Karna Peck as an artist. 
• Glorybound printed and bound books from 2005 until 2018. When Create Space was sold to become KDP, it provided a good opportunity for print-on-demand. We were used to designing files for books, so learning format parameters for KDP was fairly easy. There were no clear instructions, so once Sheri figured it out, she wrote a book InDesign Easy.

• We still have 5 book binders in the office as needed for minimal local book binding jobs. 
• In 2015 we began doing Children’s Books Live with on-stage productions at libraries, schools and civic events. We have a storage room with full-size props, a 4 foot letters GBK that can stand on the stage, a fog machine, a bubble machine, neon lights and a really big cotton candy machine. Local libraries and school invite us and we bring authors to read as well as musicians to play on stage. We also have a set of puppets, for smaller stages.

•  The Glorybound Professional Publisher School was opened in 2020 with private classes and is credentialed by Glorybound Publishing established to set the standard for publishing books in the US. The credential is based on the educational experience obtained over 20 years as Glorybound Publishing grew into the largest publishing company in Northern Arizona. It is a private school which has streamlined essential elements needed to become a professional publisher.
