I'm going to be doing some travel stuff..now that the Kindle Fire has color, and now that Amazon appears to be doing everything it can to get people to give up their b&w kindles for the Fire, it behooves me to get a book out there with some color photos in it.
More as this develops.

Another book idea bites the dust
I'd had the idea of writing a serial story, only selling it as a monthly book rather than as a blog, but ...no luck.

A hard row to hoe
Haven't posted here for a while...apologies...
Still recovering from my Scrabble debacle...two months of great sales at B&N, followed by nothing, cuz a competitor went in and undercut my price.
So I'm kind of leary of posting my ideas for new books here...
Although the latest one I've published isn't selling either...
Ever seen those ads for VistaPrint on your computer - usually show up at Yahoo.com.
They had a sale on car door magnets - I got 4 of them. One for my Scrabble club, one for a website called Let Joy and Innocent Prevail, one for my Cheyenne website, and oe for my new book idea.
So, I received 'em yesterday, have to get my car washed and the magnets applied (they are the teeny kind, 1 foot wide rather than two feet) on each door, and then we'll see if anyone will notice.
Of course, I live in Cheyenne, population 50,000, so I'm not sure what to expect. If an idea is an interesting idea, 1 out of 400 people who see it will look into it. Because it's a car door magnet, that might drop down to 1 out 800 people, since folks write down things and then either lose them, lose interest in them, or just forget about them.
So, we'll see. Each website has a counter which tells me where a click comes from, so if I get any clicks from Cheyenne, I'll know the door magnets worked.

It never ends redux
Now my computer monitor is going on the fritz...shorts out every few seconds and then comes back on...
I'll buy a new one tomorrow, and will get my posts started then!

Easter Pause
So sorry to have missed so many days of posting - unexpected family matters cropped up.
And now it's Easter, so more family matters.
Will get back on track Monday.
Thanks for your patience.

Blog report finally updated
After about a month of inactivity, the blog report that Amazon is supposed to update daily, finally has started updating again.
And all of my blog numbers have held steady...none have increased.
Which is something I have to admit I find really odd, since the "subscription" number on each blog's page on Amazon has changed. People have been subscribing. I can see someone subscribing and unsubscribing... but every single person who subscribes unsubscribes? That seems weird to me...
