Forever Legacies, a company that helps families write and design biographical tributes, has published an e-book to guide readers through the steps necessary to develop unique tribute stories that will be treasured for generations to come.

"Creating Tribute Stories" is an easy-to-follow manual for those interested in preserving facts, stories and memories. The book provides practical insight and numerous time-saving tips for the entire tribute development process - - from planning, fact-finding and organization to writing, designing, printing and final formatting options.

"Recording and preserving facts, stories and memories about yourself, family and friends is one of the greatest contributions you can make to future generations," said Tracy Rafferty, Forever Legacies' managing director and co-author of "Creating Tribute Stories." "Left undocumented, details become vague or are forgotten over time and treasured memories, values and traditions fall by the wayside. Creating your own tribute stories is both a rewarding and worthwhile process, resulting in a gift of love for family and friends."

"Creating Tribute Stories" can be purchased at the company's Web site http://www.foreverlegacies.com and clicking on the "E-book & More" tab. The free Microsoft Reader program is required to view the e-book and can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/reader/default.asp. The cost of the e-book is only $14.95.

About Forever Legacies

Personalized tributes, written and designed by Forever Legacies, provide a means of preserving an individual's memories, traditions, and accomplishments that might otherwise be lost within a generation or two. Tributes are written using a story-like technique rather than in typical chronological style, allowing for a more compelling portrait of each featured individual. Forever Legacies offers a variety of tribute formats -- from single pages, to Web site presentations, to a most impressive framed and matted display.
