Print Editions of Lettahs and Mowa Lettahs

I've decided to put Lettahs From Maine and Mowa Lettahs From Maine out in print.  They are doing pretty well as ebooks but I've had a few people ask for them in print.  So, to please my enormous fan base, I've taken the big step.  I ordered my proof copies this morning and they should arrive in a week or so.  If everything looks okay I'll put them out.  I did it via createspace, which is the least expensive way to do it, no money down and they print to order.  I won't make a lot of money, the price for each of the print editions will be only $4.99 and I only get a small percentage of that, but I'd rather just get the stories out there and hopefully a few people will read and enjoy them.

I put Children of Mother Earth as a free ebook for two days this week and about 180 copies were downloaded, it reached #40 in Action-Adventure catagory.  And now it's not selling at all.  Glad to see things are back to normal.

Sam and I began writing his next story, tentatively titled Superheroes Saving The World Green Lantern.  Quite a mouthful, but I'm sure it will be exciting to all six year old boys.

Michelle and I celebrate our wedding anniversary today.  5 years.  I think we'll go walk around and find somewhere to eat at the beach tonight, the weather will be beautiful for it.  Honestly, as long as we don't have the kids with us, I don't care if it's pouring rain and we just go eat chinese food.

Mowa Lettahs From Maine & Superheroes Are Saving The World

This morning "Mowa Lettahs From Maine" became available for the kindle and nook.  I'm very excited, I think it's really funny and I hope others will feel the same way.  I plan to have a series of Lettahs From Maine books - Lettahs To Celebraties, Lettahs To Politicians, Lettahs To The Editah.  We'll see how it goes but I have ideas.

This weekend I'll begin editing "Bobby's House", which I think is the best thing I've ever written, and hopefully I'll publish that sometime in August.  I almost wrote Awgust, I'm still in Lettahs From Maine mode.

And Samuel has finished writing his first story, "Superheroes Are Saving The World!!!!".  It is very good and someday, when he is a famous author (which he already believes he is), it will be a collectors item.  Or so I hope.  Next week, we begin work on the next one.
