I briefly mentioned Where in the World is Misfit McCabe? in my last post and I thought now would be a good time to elaborate a little more on the concept and what I expect to accomplish with this project. I normally am an inveterate book keeper and re-reader. Books are like friends and I enjoy reading an old favorite … Read More
The Book has Launched
Today was a red letter day for me. A long awaited copy of Misfit McCabe has finally shipped. I will be getting the copy next week and will have the first hard bound edition in my hot little hands. What makes this one so special? The completion of the production process on this special edition book marks the beginning of … Read More
Coming Attraction
I have been quite tied up lately with a new project that I have been working on for Misfit McCabe and as a result, I haven’t had as much time to devote to the writing process or to keep up with you here on this blog. I am getting very close to the launch of my latest idea, so will … Read More
Misfit McCabe Goes to the Library
Today a co-worker, Mary Ellen, and I went over to the Cerritos Library during our lunch hour. Our goal was to try and see whether or not we could get the library to agree to stock Misfit McCabe on their shelves. If you happen to live in the area, the Cerritos Library is definitely worth a look. I could have stayed … Read More
Forum and Blog resurrected
Working through the weekend, I was able to resurrect this blog and the Griffie World Talk forum. It was not as straightforward as I would have liked, but they are now established, and I can move on to tweaking templates and creating the look that I want. That may take a little time because I’m still in the process of … Read More
Upgrade to Griffie World
Me and my bright ideas. I keep coming up with ideas that seem to entail a whole lot of work on my part. I am going to have to talk myself into some ideas that require less work on my part one of these days. Anyway, the latest, greatest idea is requiring a complete upgrade of the Griffie World website, … Read More
Forum woes resolved
I was able to figure out the problems with Guest access to the poll and at the same time resolved the issue I had with the first poll going inactive. All in all a good days work, I would say. So, the polls are now open for everyone. Go to Griffie World and view the book trailers, and then to … Read More
Finally on track . . .or not
Well, it has been a little bit of a technical curve, but I think we are finally on track. The first poll that I posted unfortunately lost the ability to accept votes. I hate when that happens, so I have reposted the poll and things are working much better now. Ok – Murphy has been hanging around waaaayy too much … Read More
Vote for your Favorite
I have just completed making some book trailers to help promote my YA novel, Misfit McCabe and I am looking for some people to look at the book trailers and then vote for their favorite one. The winner of the vote will then be posted to YouTube, YVideo, etc. Along with that, if you leave any comments of what you … Read More
Book Trailer Completed
Well, it has been a fun few days putting together the book trailer for Misfit McCabe and I think I have it finished. I am giving it a little time to settle in, to make sure I don’t want to do 25 more edits to it before posting it on YouTube, YVideo, etc. I have posted the trailer to Griffie … Read More
Aimless Weekend
Well, I tried to buckle down today, but for some reason could not focus on any one thing. I dabbled in several things, but didn’t complete any one thing. Oh well, such is the lot of the writer’s life. Some days just don’t work out the way we’d like them to. I had my press release all figured out, but … Read More
A Labor Day Break
With today being part of a holiday weekend, I really didn’t get to accomplish much today in the way of writing, marketing, etc. I’ve mulled over some ideas, but that has been about the extent of things.
