Summer's over!

It's back to school time at Good Manners Kids Stuff Press!

Not much vacation was had this summer -- I feel as if I spent the first part converting It's Time for Good Manners into a Kindle book on Amazon. After that I took a deep breath and spent the rest of the time converting it via Smashwords to make Nook and other assorted ebook versions.  I keep thinking it will get easier each time I do it ... but each book seems to come with its own new -- and odd -- challenges. But they're done, available and have started selling. Always a good sign. Hip, hip hooray!

Came across a good publicity/link suggestion last week by Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords.  He suggested listing books on a LinkedIn Profile by adding them under publications on your profile.  I have a LinkedIn account but wasn't sure how or where to include them.  Now all four books show up in my profile. Thanks for the tip, Mark.

I'm excited for an upcoming interview and review in September. I'll keep you posted when they happen.
Until them I'm finishing the next Zephram Tale and waiting with baited breath for the newest Rick Riordan Heroes of Olympus book, due out October 4th. I just love his books.

I'll check back with more news soon.
Happy Reading, Writing and Publishing, Everyone!
