Launch Team?
Author Update
You can make a difference!
Ingram Spark distributed my softcover book to Amazon (and more). It is now available and for sale - even though I haven’t officially launched it yet. Would you like to be on my launch team? I need reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Receive a FREE eBook (for a limited time) for your review! I’m also sending a helpful sheet to help with your review, plus direct links to the sites. Order with a code on my website: kathyjperry.com. Thank you to those of you who have already signed up!
Deluxe Hardcover Arriving!
The deluxe hardcover should be shipped by the end of this week. It might be in my online store this weekend!
Entertaining Audiobook in Progress
Emeline - A Journey, the audiobook is being recorded now. An incredible performance takes time, though, and it won’t be available until the first part of December. Even if you’ve read the story, it will be fun to listen to the characters, the accents, and the great story-telling of Abigail VanTerry.
School Visits
Kids & Teachers: I am sending brochures to schools about scheduling author visits (in person or virtual). This has been a tough year, hasn’t it?! My author visits are FREE through December, so if your school would like a visit, please send them to my website to schedule! Super easy. Very excited for the one I have coming up in early November.
Updated Website
I’ve re-vamped my website a wee bit. I’m going for minimalistic, simple, and easy to navigate, but still thorough. Take a look. If you see anything that is confusing or stops you, just let me know.
Emeline’s Sequel Forming Now
I’m still thinking (and dreaming) about the next book for Emeline. Ideas are being collected, research started, but no writing yet. I want this next book to be relevant and engaging for ages 14-18. Think of the possibilities! It will still be set in the 1890’s, but basically, teenage struggles are timeless. People are people. So, if you would like to see any particular struggles encountered by teenagers included, I would appreciate YOUR input and give it consideration.
Amazon Woes (not everything is coming up roses)
Still struggling to get my eBook on Amazon. I don’t understand what I’m missing. I’ll figure it out, eventually, I hope. At least I have it available at bookstores, libraries, schools, and my website.
Besides Authoring:
Still happily working part-time for Van’s Fence.
Had some help getting our yard tamed - thanks to our friends last weekend!
I finally got my 40-gallon fish tank ready and it’s now occupied by some cool fresh-water fish.
My husband is solving problems with a/c units, furnaces, and cars (his specialty).
Both daughters are doing well.
