The last book in The Goopy Ghost holiday series has now entered production. The promotion has already started. Never would I have guessed that promotion would require such HUGE effort. Best wishes to all of my JacketFlap friends for 2011!

Now that I have completed the sequel to the Goopy Ghost, I have hired a publicist. We anticipate forging commercial ties for the "goopster".Does anyone have comments to share about the sales/promotional benefits of a hired professional, such as this?

Hi Terry
I'm confused as to why my photo doesn't appear in the list of friends on the left side of your profile. There is one photo in my profile. I'm even more confused because your photo is in the friend list on my profile. Perhaps it will take a while to learn to 'drive' this site.

Hello Terry, I also work at a law firm in Fresno, am a litigation secretary. Are you doing your own illustrations? Are you going to self-publish your book or send it out for submissions? My second children's book is out so I am in the waiting process.
