About Us
“We specialize in working closely with clients to further develop their stories into complete and interesting books.”
LifeReloaded Specialty Publishing is a boutique publishing company located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We believe that creating your book should be a positive experience — not a chore.
Our specialty is working closely with our clients to develop their stories and materials into complete and interesting books.
Our clients include:
- Traditional authors looking for royalty publishing organizations such as golf clubs, fishing clubs and social clubs who want to create a book about their history for private sale to their members
- Businesses wanting to create a book as a gift for their own customers, or celebrate an anniversary of their founding
- Families who want to create books such as WWII memoirs, legacy books such as family histories, poems, and journals that are passed down to become heirlooms

Thomas W. (Wally) Clarke chronicles his experiences as a machine gun sergeant in WWII in the Third United States Army under the command of General George S. Patton. In his memoir, Wally weaves together the record that he kept in his daily journal with the letters that he wrote back to his family — all of which were kept by his mother. A special section has Corporal Dave Kolb’s narration of the attack on Bezange-la-Petite. It also includes the German captain relating his story in defending the town, during that same attack.
The book contains numerous maps and photos, and a full-sized foldout of an attack map drawn at the time of the battle at Sarre-Union on December 1, 1944.

Time-traveling teens Max Myers and Jinx MacKenzie are called back to a time when America is being torn apart by the issues of slavery in the 1850s. As they are caught up in the shadowy world of the Underground Railroad, they run into some amazing characters from history, and follow the ghost train backwards heading into the Deep South. Using a quilt, a vision, and each other, Max and Jinx find themselves on the ultimate adventure that involves famous people who helped others gain their freedom at all costs.
Faith Reese Martin weaves together history, mystery, time travel, action, and suspense — from the slave ships that sold men, women and children like cattle, to the ultimate fighters who sacrificed a great deal and risked their lives in the fight for freedom.
This thrilling story is a true lesson in how faith and beauty can come from the depths of sadness and inequality.

Sample Books
Many of our projects are undertaken on the basis of Contract Publishing. Contract Publishing projects are books that we develop for organizations or private clients for their own use but which are typically not offered for sale to the general public.
Examples of our Contract Publishing Projects include anniversary editions for companies that are used as gifts for their clients; histories of organizations that are used for sale to members only; and family histories that are created as family heirlooms.
Many of the Contract Publishing books are produced in limited numbers of 50-500 copies and many also feature special Deluxe editions with exclusive features that can be sold at a premium for fundraising or as special gifts for high-value sponsors.

World War II Scrapbook
“I am grateful to my mother who kept all of my letters from two years of training in the South, six months of combat in Normandy, Brittany and the Ardennes and another six months as a POW in Germany. They, along with the many notes on scraps of any paper I could find, described events as they happened… and that’s what this book is all about. It’s not a history of World War II, it’s just a SCRAPBOOK of my own experiences and memories of those three years.”

Think Twice Before Crossing: A Memoir
Arthur Lovell — Aviation Pioneer & Navigator
Arthur Lovell was a pioneer of commercial aviation in Australia. His first flight was at the Royal Victorian Aero Club in a DH Gipsy Moth in 1935. After approximately 23,000 logged flying hours his final flight was in a Boeing 727 in 1978.

The Power of the Word
History of Clifton
James Patton went to Clifton, Arizona as a history teacher and coach in 1942. At Clifton he found a place of unexampled grandeur and rugged beauty among the black and red cliffs of the towering mountains. The ruins of the various old smelters and the talk of pioneers who still lived there aroused his historical interest so that eventually he began to dig in the musty old files and write this history.
A Life of Learning
Conestoga Country Club — The First Sixty Years
In 1933 a small group of golfers dreamed about a brand-new course which would be the “sportiest and toughest test of golf in the area.” There was one major problem: they had no money.
Undaunted, they initiated a “do-it-yourself project that was unpromising, dreamy, and almost ridiculous.”
This book contains many historic photos from the construction phase of the club and throughout its subsequent 60-year history.
Kilmer Family History
This Kilmer Family story has been written to fill the void that exists for many of the Kilmers of Juniata County. All have descended from Phillip Gilmore/Kilmer of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but have not had their ancestry compiled into one up to date publication. The book includes information on the major families that married into the Kilmer Family in the early generations. If this book serves to preserve the family history and provide for future generations to know us, it will have served its purpose.
Entwined Lives
Dan served in the Navy in WW II, mainly in the Philippines. Dan and Elfrida (Fritz) first met in 1946, shortly after he was discharged from the Navy. Entwined Lives is the story of their lifelong romance as they raised a family. This book includes the history of Fritz’s parents’ romance and lives in Germany, and the exciting story, written in her own words, of Fritz’s grandmother, of her life in Tsarist Russia and their desperate escape across the melting ice to ultimately land in Canada. 230 pages; features many color and B&W photos; 300 copies printed.
