MOVING FORWARD

I am so pleased with the response to my novel Josephine: Out of the Darkness Into the Light. I hope you get a chance to look at the preview of the book on Amazon to see what it is all about.

The book is now available on Amazon Worldwide both in Paperback and Kindle.  In case you're not sure what to look for on Amazon, you can just click on the books picture that you see on the right side of my page. When you click on the book cover, the underlying link will take you directly to where it is on Amazon.

Here is a picture of the cover to help find the correct one:

I am now back working on my next Children's Book about Bella and her Grandmother's clocks. I don't have a time line on this one yet. I was hoping to get it finished for December but having to make some major changes to the story line may delay it until 2018. I will let you know the progress on December 1st.

Souwesto Book Expo

This weekend I am attending workshops at our local book fair called Souwesto Book Expo, which is part of a bigger event called Wordsfest. This runs for two days where local authors can sell their books and attend workshops and lectures.

So far, I have attended two workshops and will go to one more later today. I have three of my books on the London Writers Society table for purchase. Those are: Cedric and Melissa, Andy and Sage: Visit the Ant Hill Bookstore and my newest publication Josephine: Out of the Darkness Into the Light.

I hope you have had a chance to check out my books currently on sale on Amazon both in paperback and Kindle.

While at the Book Expo, I am learning how to market my books to a wider audience all over the world so follow me by e-mail and get what I blog each time.  Shortly I will be setting up a Newsletter that everyone will be able to sign up for so watch for that to happen.

Now, it is time to get ready to return to the book fair. I will be back in a couple of weeks with more updates on the new book and the progress of the ones already on the market.

JOSEPHINE IS LIVE

Finally, I can say,  Josephine: Out of the Darkness Into the Light has gone live. All you have to do is click on the book's picture that's on the right side of this blog, and it will take you directly to Amazon, or if you're in a hurry, you can do it with the link below.

The novel is now available at Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle. If you are from a different country the paperback book is available on some Amazon sites now and on others will be available in 6 to 8 weeks. The Kindle Version is available now Worldwide if you prefer that format.

I spent a lot of time working on making it as good as possible, and I hope you will find the effort was worthwhile. Now I will go back to my current project, which is my new Children's Book.

I will keep everyone updated on Bella's progress and what things she may be up to with her clocks.

PROGRESS ON JOSEPHINE

Here is the latest on my novel 'Josephine'. I received my 1st proof copy at the end of last week and had to make a few changes based on discussions with my writers group.

I did all the changes and re-submitted the new manuscript and cover for review so now I wait. If it passes the review, I will order another proof copy and hopefully all will be okay. Once I get through the process, I will come back here and update you on the release date to Amazon and will set up the link on the novel picture.

Tomorrow I will get back to my next Children's book while I wait for the proof to arrive. I am hoping to have the new Children's book ready for the holiday season. While you wait, Andy and Sage Visit the Ant Hill Bookstore is now available for purchase on Amazon both in paperback and Kindle Version Worldwide.

The weather here has turned a bit cooler with seasonal rain and winds. Before we all know it, in this part of the country, it will be winter and the snow will begin once more.

Until I hear more regarding my projects, enjoy each and everyday to the fullest.

UPDATES ON BOOKS

I made a final decision this week and will be self-publishing Josephine: Out of the Darkness Into the Light.

I have uploaded the file and cover to CreateSpace and am now waiting for my paperback proof to arrive. Once I go over the novel and decide it is all okay, I will set it up to be available on Amazon and the CreateSpace bookstore. I will then set up the Kindle Version for Amazon.

Once everything is available to purchase, I will do a book release here on the blog so you will know where to find it.

Below is the preliminary cover for my next Children's Book (subject to change). Will be back in a couple of weeks or sooner.

OCTOBER UPDATES

A new month has begun and it truly feels like fall. First, I heard back from the Agent by email yesterday and it was "not a fit for me right now." That is okay for my first time submitting. I will now have to decide if I want to submit to someone else or self-publish. I will be back next Sunday and let you know what I have decided.

If I decide to self-publish, the book will be on Amazon within a couple of weeks both in paperback and Kindle.

Second, my Children's Book, "Andy and Sage:  Visit the Ant Hill Bookstore" is now available on Kindle and you can get to both versions by clicking on the cover picture to the left.

I am working on another Children's Book as you know. There is a preliminary cover done, but I will wait until next Sunday to show it to you. I may make a few minor changes before then.

Have a good week. I will be back on Sunday, October 8th with my decisions on "Josephine" and the new book cover.

WELCOME TO FALL

Although we are still in September for a few more days, the calendar numerically indicates that it is Fall. If you look at our current weather for the next week or so, it seems like we are in the middle of Summer.

Now on to the news of the day!!

My new book Andy and Sage Visit the Ant Hill Bookstore is now available in paperback for purchase on Amazon.com.  it will reach several other markets soon, if not there right now. I will be adding a Kindle Version shortly. I have linked the book picture, to your right, directly to Amazon to make it easier for you to find it and hopefully decide to make a purchase. At least, I hope you will take a look at the description area on Amazon before deciding.

No word from the Agent yet, but she is still working on her backlog queries so I will remain patient.

As for new projects.  I am being diligent in crafting my next Children's book. I have not designed a cover yet, but I can tell you that the story will be about a young girl, her Grandmother and something about a special clock or several unique clocks. I haven't decided yet if I will use just one clock or more than one so stay tuned.
