Contest

So I know a few of my facebook friends were wanting paper copies and since I am so excited about publishing my first book I thought I would do a contest.  I am in the process of double checking my book before I publish it in print. I just feel in hard copy it needs to be extra edited...part of my 'obssessiveness' I guess. So I hope to have it ready to buy in book print next week.

On to the contest. In hopes of getting my book out there anyone who shares the link to my book on facebook or posts about it on their facebook page encouraging others to read it come here and leave me a comment letting me know you shared it. I will out all of the names into random.com and choose a winner. The winner will get a signed copy of my book.

So share the link or comment about it then comment on here and let me know you shared my book. The contest will be up until I get my book completed for print (Should be at least through the weekend). If you have allready shared it or posted about it on your page feel free to come here and comment. You don't have to post about it again. If you tag me in your post I will automatically enter you.

Once I have the winner I will notify on here then you can email me your address or we can meet up in person if you live near by.

Here is the link to the book on amazon.com

Published

Boy has it been awhile....Writing a book is the easy part, the hard part editing and formatting to be published. I was lucky enough to have a great friend who was willing to help edit for me and give me some feed back on the book I wrote. I started the long journey on publishing on kindle a few weeks ago. I got everything ready(I thought) just waiting to get the final edits back from my friend and do my read over.

That was last week. I out the finishing touches(or what I thought was the finishing touches) on it last Wednesday or so. Fast forward to this weekend when I prepare to oublish to kindle. I used a website to prepare it for book print(one that is printed when ordered) that was also suppose to format to kindle. Everything I wrote was formatted for a print book.

I follow the websites directions and download then upload to kindle the edition that was supposed to be formatted for kindle. SURPRISE-it wasn't. So I spent the weekend and Monday adding page breaks, taking away things that aren't needed in e books, and polishing all of the chapters to adhere to kindle formatting. Come Monday I pressed the publish button. Silly me, I forgot to add myself as the author so it was sent back to me. Today I fixed that correction and resubmitted.

Before I feel asleep I decided to check, just to see if it might be up, totally didn't think it would be since I had just submitted it less than twelve hours ago. Lo-and-behold it is kind of up. LOL. What I mean by that is if you search my name on kindle my book pops up. It is not available to be bought yet, but just doing that serach and seeing MY name and MY book come up is such a feeling that I am not sure I have the adequete words to describe it. Needless to say I am unbelievably excited and undeniably unable to go to sleep.

So if anyone out there whats to see my book and read the description, but be unable to buy it yet here is the link!!!!
