Off to the Big Apple

I will be heading to New York City early Friday morning for a two day conference/pitch.  I will be speaking to producers and agents about Calbert and Facing the Bully.  Very exciting.  I have never been to New York and am very grateful to have this opportunity!  Never know what might become of the trip, I will also have the opportunity to meet other authors, which I think is pretty cool. =) 

Great Fun!

Just finished, what I would consider, a good showing at my book signing.  I love talking with and meeting people, so this was right up my alley!  Pulled in about $100, not a bunch, but $100 more than I had when I left home!  And that is after the bookstore took their cut.  Slowly but surely, this ship will be launched!

New Look!

Please let me know what you think of the new look.  I would like feed back on it's appearance, what makes it pop out the most.  Here's a look at one of my little Calbert: The Third-Grade Cowboy...Facing the Bully!

Heading to Arkansas

The boys and I are taking a much needed vacation for a week or so.  Big stuff planned for my little guys, they are so excited.  I have a thing or two up my sleeve as well.  Looking forward to some time away.  See you all when we get back!  Happy Reading!

Book Signing Scheduled!

Book Signing July 13, 2012!  City Center News and Books 114 N. Michigan St, Plymouth, IN 46563 (5:30-7:30)!

What's Next....

I am just days away for publishing another book.  This one is a short, humorous antidote about lawn mowers.  The title of my new book is "Lawn-Mower Chronicles" I hope others find it as funny as my friends and I do. =)  I have had the worse luck with lawn tractors and haven't been shy about posting it all on Facebook.  This book is built around my posts and my friends comments to those posts.  Keep watching!

Can you Believe It!

I received an email, between taking care of boys with sunburns, from a local bookstore owner, who wants me to contact her for a book signing!  Now that is what I call exciting!!

Get Ready!!!

Calbert: The Third-Grade Cowboy...Facing the Bully, will, hopefully, be ready to purchase by Monday!  That is if I don't find more typo's.  Wonder how many proof-readers and editors it takes to get it right, but would be a lot worse without all the proofing!! The book already came to me for last proof and I found several mistakes (I hope I got them all, this time).  I had to resubmit the interior and will hopefully have that back by tomorrow.  This is SO MUCH FUN!  I can't wait to start the next book!  

Adventure is in the air!

Reviewing the final cover and interior to my new book. Never knew it would be this exciting!

Things are Moving Along!

Proof read the press release for Calbert: The Second-Grade Cowboy. It makes me want to read the book to see what happens and I already know how it ends! LOL  Obviously, I didn't write the press release.  Everyday we get closer and closer to the publishing date.

My friends and family have been surprised to find out I have written this book.  Now that they know, I have even more friends and family to be excited with.

    Book back from copy editing! Just one more meeting and then hopefully on to printing.  This is very exciting, I can hardly wait to see the end result! 

Looking for Ideas

I am looking into ways of marketing Calbert the Cowboy;Facing the Bully, and I would love to hear any suggestions you might have for me.   I am a clean slate...all ideas welcomed!
