Creating Children and Young Adult Stories, Armed with Imagination and a Pen

Results of the Author Expo

Yesterday I attended my first local author expo.  It was a good way to meet other authors and get my name out there.  The bonus was that I sold some autographed copies of my books so I was pleased with the result.  There wasn’t as much foot traffic as I would have liked, but it was a good forum for me to dip my toes into.  Now I won’t be so nervous if I do another expo or a bookstore signing.  The Nutt Family; An Acorny Adventure continues to slowly build on Amazon.  I had my first Amazon UK sale yesterday….wahoo!  I’ve got a British blogger who has agreed to review it so I will cross my fingers that she likes it.  Stay tuned here for some promotional giveaways that will be taking place at 4eyesbooks in the near future.

If you are interested in purchasing any of our children’s books please refer to the book pages on the right side of the website for more information.

My Brief Brush with the Press

My first brush with the press was not how I imagined.  It was not an indepth one-on-one interview where I got to explore the inspirations for my children’s books.  I was not mentioned in a glamorous magazine or a prestigious newspaper, but I did get a brief mention today on a local website and I take what I can get!

Check out my shining moment in Acworth Patch.

I am excited and nervous about my first author expo this Saturday.  My paperbacks arrived yesterday and my custom bookmarks to hand out to the children are scheduled to arrive on Friday.  Now, I just hope that some actual people show up.  I’ll report back with the results.

I think I’m going to go throw up now.
