I'm a traditionally and self published author. I write in the genre of children and YA at the moment but working my way up to adults. I'm a sports loving, photo taking gal who loves to sing/dance to my own enjoyment. I love to laugh even at myself. I am also owned by 8 birds and 2 hamsters, and yes they know it. :)

First Copy Sold: Jasper

This past Friday people were able to not only preorder my book but also get it signed.

The site was released on a few of my social media sites. I had not expected anyone to really do this.

However my friend Sue, from back home, who I have known since birth, went and got herself a signed copy. I honestly can not properly describe that feeling. Those who have been there before me understand the emotions that erupts when this happens. Happy tears ensued upon hearing the news. I could strike this off my list of things I wanted to get accomplished with this book.

My publisher has been keeping me up to date as the numbers are being sold. I have been writing, talking, breathing this book for so long so to see the fruits of it come to light brings me to a place I could not possibly imagine.

I wish I could capture the emotions in a bottle. Now that would sell.

Book Release: September 7th

Well here it is. I been dying to release the cover for my book. I wanted to wait until I had the date in place before doing so. The cover stirs up a bunch of warm feelings inside. The picture of Jasper was sketched from a photo I sent to the illustrator. This is a pose he uses often making me wonder what he is thinking or maybe better yet plotting.

Jasper and I are almost there.

I have come up with a release date for my book, “Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure”. The magical day is September 7th of this year.

Just typing that sentence and reading it out loud makes me all warm inside. I plan on buying every version of the book from ebook, to soft copy to hard copy. I want it all!

This has been a long journey and I’m now seeing the fruits of my labor of time, energy and endless meetings with fellow writers whether that be online or in real life.

I look at my bird Jasper and I tell him all the time, “Jasper you are going to be big, I tell ya big. Everyone will be talking about you.”

What he normally does is bend his head so I can pat him. The reward for giving me the material for the book. So long I give him plenty of shelled almonds he and I are good.

Now if I can only figure out how to get him to sign the book, then that be perfect.

I have come up with a release date for my book, “Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure”. The magical day is September 7th of this year. Unless of course something monstrous occurs.  Just typing that sentence about the date and reading it out loud makes me all warm inside. I plan on buying every version of the book from ebook, to soft copy to hard copy. I want it all!
