Kindle Has Arrived!

Me 'n Jess is now available on Kindle! Yahoo!

It was a process getting all the files right and exactly as they should be and thank goodness for Amazon and their continuing development of KDP as to facilitate the process! I didn't even have to convert to a kobi file... for all the HTML people out there... ;-)

KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing and what an amazing program they have! Wow I have learned so much these past couple of weeks being a publisher! But it's worth it as I think the book looks pretty good! Between the paw prints, bones and shamrocks, I think it's a fun book.

Ok, have to get to work on the audio book... Over and out for now! Cheers!

Me ' n Jess is Published!

Today was the day. I pushed the magic button. Full speed ahead Rudolph! Oh wait that was last month.

This month? A new story hits the air waves of the dog book world and I am so excited because I have already had orders from Tennessee to New Zealand and it's only just begun! The website is being built as things progress and the next hurdle is Kindle. Formatting files and graphics and all can be frustrating but I am almost there. Then it's other e-readers and finally an audio book. Can't wait. Should be a fun thing to record.

Good thing I made a movie! I am sure having learned the editing part and different software will come in handy. Ok, gotta go. Lots to do...Cheers!

It's Almost Here!

The proof is in the pudding. Actually the proof is in the mail.

I am awaiting the hard copy of my book "Me' n Jess" and am very excited. I wrote the book in 2001 but it was put aside to make a movie. "Did I Say Thousand Island?" was premiered in 2007 and has been seen all over the world. My mission of raising awareness and funds for the Global Water Crisis with my movie continues on with my book. The difference is that now instead of giving away the book for free--which I did with the movie for over 5 years, I'm going to sell the book and give a portion to various water non-profit organizations. I already have contact with many orgs and now you can actually help me help people get water, just by buying the book. Cool eh?

I'll post again when it's ready, so you can come and meet Jesse too! Cheers, Patti
