Every now and then I receive something in email from Amazon that promotes a product or book. It is not always something I have searched on the site or something I have bought or similar to it. The variety of what they advertise to me is wide. But this past weekend I received the above in email. Amazon was promoting me. I mean, me. Not sure how that happened but was thrilled as they say to the moon and back when I opened it up and saw what had happened.

Will this promote more sales? I found out that it already has. What this does in essence is bring my brand and books to a wider audience. That is huge, especially to writers. Heck to anyone who is a small business owner. I’m still pretty jazzed up.

Okay for this week Amazon and I are in a love relationship.

My Review: It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a children’s book, but I have to admit this reignited the child in me. I really enjoyed the innocence of Jasper and his brother Willie as they grew and explored the world around them.

One of my favorite parts was when they were learning to fly. I don’t want to give away too much, but I loved how the author showed their struggles in a humorous way that took away any edge I felt about them. The book carried an innocence similar to when I was a young boy…

There are many avenues to have our books listed whether your format is print or ebook. You can have them online at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Smashwords to just name a few. If you are fortunate you have them in bookstores, whether that avenue is a large  bookstores or independent bookstores. You can have book signings at coffee shops, author greets and in giveaways. You can also have them in libraries if you are fortunately enough for the library to pick them up.

We have a lot of places to peddle our wares. It is not easy especially if you are an introvert.

My editor was working on a client’s work when she came across something that was fascinating. Well the news is not fascinating to her but what was on it was. iTunes. It is not just for music anymore but now for books also.

She found some of my books on the site. I was in WOOHOO mode. Seriously, this is an avenue I had not thought of and would not have thought off. How cool is this that our books can be now in this media for others to get?

I think it is pretty amazing and was thrilled to see for myself the listing.
