Penelope Parker: Witch In Training

How Does One Come Up With An Idea For A Book?

I was reading an article about R.L. Stine, the author of the 'Goosebumps' series. The interviewer asked him how he went about writing his stories. He replied, "I come up with the title and then I write the book."

This makes perfect sense to me, as that's exactly what I do. I came up with the title for Penelope Parker before I even started writing. Might be backwards, but the book fits the title, not the other way around.

Author Proof

Just got my author book proof. That's a complete copy of the book so I can double check for any issues, typos, etc. It's really exciting for me to see my book in print!

My First Book Review!

My first book review is posted on Amazon's Canadian site. The American one won't allow reviews if one has not bought books through them. Thank you, Jamaal, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read the book and post an in-depth review. I really appreciate it!

Book Update

Just got my digital book proof! This is so exciting for me. Also got the cover proof, and I should have my author copy in my hands within two weeks. I think a bit longer, as this is the Christmas season!

Kindle Edition

 

My new Young Adult/Tween novel, Penelope Parker: Witch In Training is now live on Amazon in Kindle format. Hopefully, the print version will be available by the end of January. Really excited; this is the culmination of more than ten years work, off and on. The NaNoWriMo challenge this year gave me the impetus to finish it.

If you have a Kindle, you can go to the Kindle Book Store and search for Penelope Parker, and try a sample of the book for free. It's just the first three chapters, but it gives you a taste. If you have an iPad, there is a Kindle app that allows you to read Kindle books. It's available free here: http://amzn.to/1k89raF
