Store Description
I started this project about 4 years ago as a challange with NaNoWriMo.org. It was a challange to write 50,000 in one month. After completing the required amount of words,I put it in a drawer and forgot about it. Finally, I pulled it out, dusted it off and sat down. After much adding, editing, hiring a real editor, hair pulling and hammering away at the keyboard, I finished what I hope is a good book. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

I am still doing pretty well. I have decided to re-schedule the book signing for the spring/summer.

The summer people will be back and the weather will be better. I hope someone will take it to a friend, who has a friend, etc. that may have an "in" to the right people. I would love to see this picked up be a big publisher and take off. Hey, it could happen.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

Yes, it is back up and doing well. I can't believe I have had so many sales in such a short time. Maybe it isn't really many, but to me it is wonderful.

Now the hard part. Getting it out there! I am going to be working non-stop with the marketing.

Wish me luck!

Woe is me - I should have stayed in bed.

As of yesterday, I had published, made available, and approved my book for Global Distrubution. I should have given it a few more days.

I can't believe I made this error.

When I first decided to write this book, I had two titles in mind. The only difference in the title was one word. The word "Buy." I wasn't sure if I wanted the word "Buy" or "Get" so I just figured I would leave that decision until later.

I finally decided on "Buy" and thought I had changed all the words in the manuscript. Somehow, I hadn't. Whether it was because I sent the wrong copy for formatting, or because I hadn't saved the changes, who knows?

The cover and title is now "Buy a Dog" and the title page says, "Get a Dog." Also, the header on every page says "get." I cannot believe after checking it out 3 times and having my husband, daughter, and brother looking at it that none of us picked up on it sooner.

cry So for now, I have to take it off available status and correct it. I hope this won't take too long. I have a few people waiting to purchase and I hate it being put on hold.

I'll get back to you when it's ready again.

My book is now available to purchase. I made it available last night. Some have been purchased by family and my online buddies from Diaryland.

My diary is Here if you would like to read up on my everyday ramblings.

To those of you who purchase from diaryland, please drop me a line at komickaren@yahoo.com and let me know. I would appreciate it. For those of you that came from "away", thank you for taking the time to drop in. Please leave a comment even if it's just to say hi so I will know you were here.

Almost there.

I just sent for my revised book. Hopefully all the glitches are out and this will be the last proof I have to order. If all goes well, it will be ready for sale within the next week. My fingers are crossed. This has been a long journey.

I just hope after all the work, I can get this out to the proper media and get it on the stands.

Time will tell.

Well, this is as good a place to start as any. I haven't received my book for proofing yet, so it isn't available for sale yet. When it is, you'll be the first to know!
