Good morning and welcome to this week’s edition of In the Books, featuring Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure by Sharon C. Williams.

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.

Commas are my Krptonite

Commas are my Kryptonite,” I said to my friend Gina one day. She laughed because she understood what that meant. She is of the thinking you can’t have to many as she places commas in excessive even when there is no need for them to be there. I am of the theory in the less the better, often leaving out spots where I should place a comma

I hate commas. They serve their purpose, one of which is to irritate me when I don’t get it right in placement. But that is why I have an editor. She is worth her weight in gold and then some. Which is awesome for me , the commaless person who couldn’t be bothered to learn where to put them.

What else is my Kryptonite now that I am thinking on it? I have issues with a-than vs then b-to vs too  and c- effect vs affect.

Though in fairness to me I am getting better with the two first ones. See even I can learn. I am sure there are others that I am just not thinking off at the moment. Writing. Thanks to my editor, I can stick to writing.
