Online Gaming the MMO way

Games like World of Warcraft is what I'm talking about. I have spent many years playing them. I love them. I took a break when I started writing, and now when I want to return to some of them, they ask me questions I could not possibly answer. Like what was the characters name.

I use a different name each time. so i don't remember. I can't believe they do stuff like that. They just lost a customer and they did me a favor. My disdain for them is growing. And my love for writing is growing. I don't like it when big fat cats don't pay attention to the little guy. It pushes my buttons.

I'll show them, I'll just write another chapter in my book. Wouldn't be ironic if the owner of those games bought my book. Instead of me paying them money, now I am receiving it. I love the sound of it.

Well, supper calls.

Sold my first ebook!

It's official, I wrote a book and someone bought it. Someone I don't know. Can't begin to tell you what a high this is. Life is good! I set my goal to sell 1 book and I did it. Now the rest will be a bonus. I sold a book. I don't set goals high, it only leads to dissapointment. I usually get great results when I have no expectations or little expectations. I sold a book.
Now if I sell another book, that would send me through the roof with the ultimate high. That would double my goal of 1 book. Did I tell you I sold a book.
If you would like to give me this ultimate high, buy this book.

Captain America

I saw Captain America with my grandaughter. We both loved it. I did not know the story of the Captain and was a bit dissapointed with the ending. I guess it's common knowledge, but not to me. It was great action and a good love story in the making. I can't say anymore without telling you the movie.

My second book has been resubmitted.

I had to take down my 2nd book, "A Home for Gardeth". I allowed 20% of the book to be viewed for free. I also included the first book with it. So when you viewed the 20%, it was the first book and not the second.

I removed the first book from the second book so now you can read 20% of the second book for free.

I am learning as I go along. I got it right now. Please download and enjoy.

2nd ebook published

I just got my second ebook PUBLISHED. It costs a whopping $.99. I included my first book with it. The first book has a good description of the characters and what they can do. This is pretty exciting.

Now comes the fun part. Refreshing the page to see if the sales of my book went up. Virtual ink is expensive. I hope people liked the first book enough to get the second one. I did get great feedback on the first. I wish the feedback was put in reviews. It would help my book do better.

I don't think I will be sleeping tonight. Now that these 2 books are off and running, I can start sending out the first book to more agents so I can get this published in a real book with illustrations and all that good stuff. Although, ebooks seem to be taking this industry by storm, it's nice to have the physical book on your kid's lap.

I will keep you updated. Time to start pacing.

Nothing but Good News

Where to start, first, my free book, Finding Spotalot just reached 100 downloads.

Plus it was approved for Premium status on Smashwords which means it will be sent to the Apple store in a week and Amazon and B&N in 2 weeks.

Now that my first book reached Premium Status, I will release my second book tomorrow. It will be 2 books in 1. I have included the first book with the second. The huge cost will be $.99. I will have a link tomorrow for the new book called "A Home for Gardeth". I had to tweak the bookcover a bit, that's why it's listed here again.

I also saw Harry Potter at the Imax theater and it kicked butt compared to the regular theater. If you going to see it, see it at the Imax. I saw it with my grandaughter Isabella and my daughter Sabrina.

Yes, Life is Good.

Up to 88 downloads on my book.

My goal in 100 before the next book is released. This is so cool. I can't wait till it hits the big guys like Apple, Amazon, B&N. It should be about another week. About the same time my 2nd book will be done editing and ready to upload.

A new Bookcover for my second book. "A Home for Gardeth"

This is exciting for me. I now have a face on my characters. The artist, Katrina Joyner is nothing short of fantastic. The story is about a little boy who is lost, so Sticky and friends help him find his way home. As usual, no event with Sticky goes without additional adventure. I hope to have the book released in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Connected with my long lost friend last night.

We talked for a while and I think we covered most of the first year. We only got 24 more to go. Wow, that's a lot of talking. I so look forward to excaping up to Maine to just get away from everything and to see my long lost friend.

We found something we both like. We both like to be hermits or recluses. I am going to plan a winter trip also, she has a snowmobile. I only drove one once and that was in a baseball field. She is telling me that the fields out there go on for miles. Can't wait. Maybe I should go now. I wonder how the snow mobiles work without snow.

Be sure to tune into this exciting soap opera called "Long lost, but not lost long."
