One thing I didn't understand when I decided to self-publish is there are so many options to choose from. I did know what I wanted and found a self-publishing company that offered the services I felt that met my needs at the time. I do have a clear understanding now in arears of all these options and realize I did do what was right for my book at the time, beginners luck I suppose. Consider

Wow! When I saw all the boxes last night I broke into a cold sweat! It seems like I've been waiting for this day for such a long time, and it's finally come! Just look at the tower of boxes. It's really exciting...the books are in my garage...just like other authors! Now to go through the list, one for this person, 10 for this shop, 6 for these libraires...I know I'll be down to a small box

I recently attended a Writers Conference and attended a session called the Art of Blogging. I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and have decided to apply some of what I learned, or at least make an attempt. We are all writers and writing about something that we are passionate about is a good place to begin. I think that's what blogging must be all about. Reading others blogs, I find are always

How exciting it is to get the first interview, the first book signing and the first book store on board! In just a short time it seems like all of a sudden everything I have been working toward is beginning to fall in place. What a thrill it is to work toward a dream and finally see the fruit of it. This is just the beginning, we are still pre-selling our first order of 250 books, signed,

It is with both gladness and sadness that I write this entry. With gladness, Johnny Green and the Little Green Man is finally available! With sadness, our wonderful friend who so graciously endorsed Johnny's book passed Friday, Dec 18th, just a day from approving the final galley of Johnny Green. We were shocked but understand she had health issues she would be facing in the days ahead. Johnny

Taking a step back or considering what is done and gone is not always a bad thing. It's a reminder of how far you have come, what you've learned and helps you refocus on where you are headed. I've had to do this over and over with Johnny Green and the Little Green Man and now that I'm becoming comfortable with how many steps back I've had to take, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally

Many things have happened since my last post. Most importantly, Johnny Green has his own facebook now! Just click on the link on the right to see daily Winks on Recycling, (well almost daily), tips on recycling and great interactive websites for children to learn more about our Earth! I have linked a website for readers that would like to network with other readers that enjoy reading and

Johnny Green is available on the Xlibris Website Bookstore as of today! What a thrill it was to see it there! This will be a limited time offer as, my boy Johnny, is going back to production for a facelift - already. As you may notice from my recent entry, considerable time has lapsed since my entry of June 9th. There was some jumping ahead and trying to meet a deadline that wasn't practical -

I found this website today, www.jacketflap.com, a GEM! It is like facebook for children's authors, agents and publishers. If you are looking for a network there are over 6,500 + authors that live out there. Absolutely a wonderful resource. Thought I'd share this with you as you might be looking for some of the same information I've been looking for. Let me know what you think - it is well
I found this website today, http://www.jacketflap.com/, a GEM! It is like facebook for children's authors, illustrators, agents, publishers, teachers, librarians, and more. If you are looking for a network there are over 6,500 + authors that live out there alone. I can tell it will be a wonderful resource and can't wait for something really cool to happen. Thought I'd share this with you as you
Just a short note....today was another landmark day! I received the last draft of Johnny Green and the Little Green Man to approve. On breaks (in the midst of training for a week) and at lunch time, I busied myself with reviewing the final corrections that had been made to Johnny Green. He sits perfectly complete somewhere in the Xlibris files waiting to go to print for the first time...the first
