SAINT JOHN, NB (October 31, 2005) – Saint John author Sheila Davidson and recording artist Stephanie Mainville are planning a joint release party at St. James the Less Church on Thursday, November 10, 2005.  Stephanie Mainville with the help of a support band and dancers will share songs from her debut release Family.  Sheila will do a short reading and talk about how the book came to be.

Christian Marketing Canada (CMC) Distribution is launching a nation-wide distribution of Stephanie’s Family cd to the Canadian Booksellers Association (CBA) member stores throughout Canada.

The recording has been given an external makeover and will be sold with a completely new package design.  The cd will be available at Christian retailers across Canada starting on November 8, 2005.

Vineyard International Publishing has recently released Sheila Davidson's book, Hear Heaven.  An inspirational romance in a medieval setting, the author's first novel "is a romantic adventure in a fairytale style, full of important lessons for Christian life.  It will be loved by those who know something of the value of 'story'.  She has created a world that's a rich place to visit.  It's also a good place to gain insights about the world in which we live."  - Peter Fitch, Dean of Ministry Studies, St. Stephen's University and Pastor of St. Croix Vineyard, St. Stephen.

Everyone is invited to come out for a great night of Maritime music and story with door prizes, and special prices for CDs & books.

The evening begins at 7pm – at St. James the Less Church 1760 Rothesay Road .
