and the Learning Continues...

Just a short one today. I've finally got my book published in paperback.  'Kangaroo Tales - The Long Black Paddock' is now available here:  https://www.createspace.com/3795452 and will soon be available on Amazon.com.

I'm making progress with the illustrations on my next book:  'Perki Cati' and hope to have it published in both ebook and paperback before the end of April.  If I'm incredibly diligent I may also get 'Button, Button...' published right around the same time.

Along with all of this I am editing and publishing/republishing Judi Miller's body of work along with some new titles for her, and editing other author's works too!  I'll continue working during my Holiday/business trip to the USA beginning in June.  Lots of details and planning yet to do. Although it is necessary and I find it challenging planning my itinerary, the adventurer in me wishes I could just get a flight and wing it from there. ;) I hate pinning myself down to being somewhere at a certain time. Just one of those halftado things when you are involving other people. ;)  I'll just make sure to hold back a little cash for rescheduling my flight home...;)  lol  Shhhhhhhh  don't tell!

I spend more time on writing/editing/publishing than I ever did in a 9-5 job, and it is so much more rewarding. At the end of the day, I know my work is appreciated, I know things have been done the best they can be given my ability and I know someone else isn't going to suddenly decide it would be better done another way (that doesn't work) or that my good work will be bastardized by someone thinking they have better ideas.  ;) Not to mention not having to wait around forever for someone else to make decisions.

Well, off to the kitchen...dinner time.  I need a cook. Today has been all about domestic housework.  Blech! I think I will bake myself a cake though. Reward time.

Till next episode...Take Care
