The Publishing Maven

-


While wandering through the blogs I follow I came across a contest on The Publishing Maven which was giving away a package of books geared towards helping authors self publish their works. Of course it was during that time when I was on a roll winning contests and lo and behold I won.

The published author of the above book who is also the author of The Publishing Maven blog sent me seven books related to writing and self publishing. The wealth of information contained in these books is nothing short of astounding. I have just begun reading The Step-By-Step Guide to Self-Publishing for Profit by Christy Pinheiro. It is one of the most detailed books on self publishing I've read. I will be posting a review once I have finished the book. For now, though, I just want to again thank Christy for these books and point all of you towards her blog which is a wonderfully written site on the ins and outs of writing and publishing. So please, go take a look. I learn so much from reading her posts and this book which she authored. You can find the book on Amazon.com by clicking the link below.

The Publishing Maven

Thank you Christy.

I used the Self Publishing Manual by Dan Poynter. Not saying this one isn't good. I'm just not familiar with it. Maybe I'll check out this one before the sequel to North Country Cache

Shark, Dan Poynter is the master of POD. I've read a couple of his books. A sequel, fantastic!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
