Pick up Your Copy!

I did it! I am now officially published on Amazon!

A long journey full of ups, downs, fears, doubts, excitement. I admit, I have had hesitations and procrastination. Truthfully, I haven't actually started on the next book I wanted to get done, aside from imagining how I'd like to do the pictures for it.

However, I'm still super stoked over achieving this. The fact that I did is a big deal, because I have a "Bucket List" a million miles long with a "Been There, Done That" list that is about a quarter mile long!

Share in the excitement with me and grab your copy and a copy for a friend! You could even buy a copy for your library and each child you know, for Christmas! It is currently available in paperback and should be available on kindle, by tomorrow.

Thank you for your love and support! I'm looking forward to finishing the next project!

One Last Thing

I am down to needing just one last thing, before I submit my book to createspace.com! I can not explain how extremely excited I am to finish this project and hold a copy of my very own book, in print, soon!

I, Hopefully, Did It!

This morning, I finally found the courage and motivation to sit down and try formatting, "I Should've Stayed in Bed."

After trying to find video tutorials, (because I need to see what people are talking about, not just read it) and trying to understand what people were writing about, I finally found a video from an Australian guy who said he used MS Publisher. I have never used it before and was trying to use Word. I decided to switch gears and give it a go. I will say, it was so easy to use. Whether I have everything completely and correctly formatted, I doubt it, haha. However, I think I may actually be pretty close to correct.

I still have a couple of minor things to add before it is ready for submission, but I'm there, on the cliff about to jump off!

I am excited and so thankful to author, Dee Farrell, and my illustrator, Haley Jula, for all their help and support, as well as my editor, Lee Ann, for encouraging and inspiring me to move forward.

The Ball is in My Court

So proud of, and thankful for, my illustrator, Haley Jula, http://www.haleyjula.com/
The illustrations for my first book "I Should've Stayed in Bed" are finished and look wonderful! I'm so excited and nervous!

That means it is my turn to make things happen. I need to format and submit and see what happens. My goal is to have that done this week and hopefully it won't be long before we can each, as well as all of you, have our own hard copies of the finished book!
