This was a big day. My GRL is now on Kindle. The book cover is some how screwed (I have asked the publisher to look into it), but the content of the book and the ability to order is there. Go to my author site on Amazon and take a look. (You might even be tempted to download)
The day continued normally, but then went out of control when the dogs started barking at the UPS driver. He was standing on the porch at sundown with a thirty-two pound box pictured here.
Yeah I would say it was heavy and I did lift with care. I got out my trusty snap blade (you call that a knife?) and opened it to find inside my baby. I wanted to light the candles , but my wife would have killed me
And if that wasn’t enough, another box was on the porch (which in my excitement I didn’t notice). Inside were some display pieces that when loaded look this way:
You have to ignore the fish and the Sea Urchin and trust there are books in a display.
My GRL blog tour begins on Sunday so look for the posts. Have a wonderful weekend and for the next two weeks I will be publishing the recognition posts of a group of really great bloggers. Take a minute and go see them and say hello for me.
I just downloaded your book John! I can’t wait to start reading it! 🙂

I saw that it was available yesterday (I checked every couple of days) and snagged it. Looking forward to reading and reviewing, John.
BTW, the books look great under the fish and next to the fun bottles.

I love that book cover. Read the first twelve pages on Amazon and then clicked the “Kindle” option, after which I was informed this wasn’t available on there just yet. So glad to hear it is now. Great stuff, John,

Wow…You must be thrilled. Bravo! I’m going to check it out. I read your post on agents. I’ve also been having bad luck trying to find an agent. You’d think with more and more writers self publishing agents would be hungry for business but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Anyway, I wish all the best with your book. May you sell beyond your expectations.
Thanks for following my blog 🙂

Thank you. Yes I am thrilled. The whole agent thing has me buffaloed. I would think they would grab certain projects (or at least answer the query). It is not to be.
