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.

In April I did an interview for a local magazine. I was soooooooooooooo excited. I told everyone. It being in a local paper I thought was awesome, and it is, for your name gets out in your area. May, the first week of May was when it was supposed to come out. The first week came and went and I was not able to find the magazine. Contacting the editor she directed me to where she knew some had been dropped off. YAY!

I celebrated to early. Upon finding the magazine I scanned through it, I didn’t see me. I scanned again. I didn’t see me. That is when I knew I had not been included. That was a let down feeling of a mini epic proportion. I did noticed they had only included one writer apart from the main article they had written. That gave me a small bit of, okay it’s not just me. But that was still a let down.

As I wrote on FB my revelation of not being in the paper I hash-tagged #Notstoppingme and it won’t. As one friend tried to cheer me up she said, “They left out the best part.”

And in a blink of that happening I was asked to present myself to the 1 Million Cup group in town and became a member of a professional women’s group in town whose goal it is to help each other out. Things got better and got better fast.

Don’t let little bumps in the road stop you. Find a way to go around it.
