My Journey With CCPC Organization
I am David Navarria, co-founder of the CCPC Organization. This journey began as a partnership in the early 2000s and was incorporated in 2007. Our publishing company was a pioneer in offering services to help authors bring their books to life. These services included ghostwriting, book cover design, book formatting, proofreading, and editorial assistance. We also handled acquiring copyrights and ISBNs, along with helping to design and promote websites. Today, the CCPC Organization no longer accepts new clients and offers only limited services.
A Career in Design and Publishing
Before founding the CCPC Organization, I built my career as an award-winning graphic designer, drawing on my formal college writing education to create media advertisements for newspapers, magazines, high-end brochures, and television commercials. I was one of the first graphic designers in New York City to professionally use computers for graphic design, and later, I became one of the earliest website designers. My publishing experience dates back to 1987, long before online publishing became the norm. Now, I devote my time to writing. My latest work, River Town Wellsville Ohio, is a collection of true stories about my mother’s family and the small Ohio river town where she grew up, based on tales she shared with me over the years.
My Latest Book
River Town Wellsville Ohio is my latest book. I was 12 years old when I first heard about a family incident involving my great-grandparents. My mother, Eleanora, explained it in a way that was suitable for my age. As I grew older, my curiosity about this family story deepened, even though I couldn’t fully grasp it as a young adult. In the mid-1970s, I began to learn more about my family’s history. That’s when my mother started dictating these stories to me. Unfortunately, work interrupted my progress, but my mother and I resumed our efforts periodically throughout the 1980s and 1990s, using recorded tapes and written notes.
My Journey of Research and Writing
In 1992, I began outlining a historical fiction book, as the subject matter was both personal and sensitive. In 2013, I gathered more specific and detailed information about Wellsville and its historical significance. Once again, work and life interrupted my efforts, but I continued my research on the town and its surroundings, clarifying much of the information my mother had shared. After years of preparation, it wasn’t until 2023 that I dedicated myself to completing this chronicle. It tells the hardships of both settlers and immigrants in Wellsville, Ohio, my mother’s experiences during World War Two, and what men and women endured while serving in the allied militaries during both world wars.
A Deeply Personal Retelling
I adhered closely to my late mother’s words, using audio tapes, dictated notes, her diary, and personal memories. As I followed her words, I found romance and sentimentality for the time and place, but I also encountered extreme violence and savage assaults on both men and women. I included these parts to give voice to the victims who suffered anonymously. This story is set in an era much different from today, and I have written it true to that period. I detailed my mother’s family’s journey from when they first came to America and eventually settled in the small river town of Wellsville, Ohio. Using creative non-fiction, I brought the characters to life with dialogue and vivid descriptions in this mature retelling of these stories. I researched the town, times, and places extensively to ensure historical accuracy as much as possible. While the characters are real, I changed all names to respect the privacy of any descendants of those mentioned.
An Immersive and Profound Narrative
River Town Wellsville Ohio is far from a quick read. It is a profound and passionate narrative that will captivate readers from start to finish. The story weaves together themes of love, action, adventure, betrayal, deceit, war, crime, and murder, offering a deep exploration of life’s meaning. This highly anticipated work, drawn from my mother’s journals and diaries, brings to life the experiences of a small Eastern Ohio River town. Available in both printed and eBook formats, you can find River Town Wellsville Ohio at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and various other bookstores.
