Happy Halloween-exciting writing update

Happy Halloween!

This very afternoon the audio for my children's book, Stubby, the Magic Pencil, was completed and sent off to the company for final approval. Within 7 to 10 days from now this will be the first of my books to be available as an audio book! Once it is, I'll let you know where you can purchase the audio.

Meanwhile, I must get back to the trick-or-treaters at my door.

Kirkus Review of Stubb, the Magic Pencil

After much waiting, I received Stubby, the Magic Pencil's review.  I found the review to be fair. Though, as most author's would wish, I would have preferred a more positive, book-selling review. The bit about the dark elements (which I consider mild), is personal taste. I think there are lot darker elements in Harry Potter and the whole series by Lemony Snicket, and those have sold well. 

Thus, I decided to publish my review (I did have the choice to archive it and not let anyone see it).

The grammar mistakes in the review are easily fixed on my end, especially in the Kindle version.

Anyway, here is the review.

Another Newspaper Article on Stubby, the Magic Pencil

Just today I learned from a well-read friend that Stubby, the Magic Pencil was mentioned in the Eureka Time Standard.  The press release led to Stubby being included in the papers "Round Up" section.  I am pleased and very appreciative of all the support my book is receiving.

In addition, the paperback version of Stubby is also now available on Amazon, as well as the Kindle Version.

Again, I thank everyone for the support of the publishing of my newest book.

Stubby in the Paper!

Today, thanks to some well-read friends, I learned that my interview regarding Stubby, the Magic Pencil with Allie Hostler of the Two Rivers Tribune had been printed.  I am grateful for the chance to spread the word about my newest published book. Thank you, Allie.

This week the interview can read via the paper, which can be purchased in stores around Hoopa and Willow Creek.  Next week, you will be able to read it on-line at Two River's Tribune's website.

Stubby, the Magic Pencil as a Kindle Book!

Not only is Stubby, the Magic Pencil, now available as a trade paperback through lulu.com, the story is now also available as a Kindle Book on amazon.com.

I must say that formatting for a Kindle Book is a lot easier and quicker than formatting for a trade paperback.  Those headers and footers can be tricky since some pages don't get them.

I also hooked up with my cover illustrator, Michelle Hays, yesterday.  She was delighted to receive her copy of Stubby. 

Enjoy the weekend all.

Stubby, the Magic Pencil is almost done!

Life took over this summer, and I didn't get as much writing done as I had hoped, but my new book, Stubby, the Magic Pencil is almost available for purchase. The release date is looking like the first week of September.  I'm excited.

The cover artist that was chosen is new to the world of book covers.  Her name is Michelle Hays.  One of her art inspirations is Japanese animation. When you see the cover for Stubby, you will see this influence on her work.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
