I am very thrilled and delighted to show you my beautiful, shiny new book! Chris at The Story Reading Ape has done an absolutely brilliant job of designing the perfect cover for it too. He was so helpful and accommodating to me, despite my inexperience in these matters and problems with my e-mail!
At the moment, it is available at CreateSpace, and is now available on Kindle and Amazon.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I had been encouraged to publish a collection of my poems, and now I have finally done it! I do love to rhyme things and this book is pretty much a compilation of some of my favourites! I have even included some of the raunchier ones to add a little extra spice!

Looks like it happened very quickly too. I think we are pretty much the same, when we have an idea and are excited about it then we keep it going until we see the result. I am so proud of you, Judy! Hey, this is my blog sis and I will meet her soon! Woohoo!!!
Two new books within one week in our community! How cool is that!🍷🍷

This is so funny how parallel we were working on it! CreateSpace is a great option for authors. The great thing with making a poem book is, that you aleady have the content and only need to bring it in shape. I did it with my book “Enjoy Life!” Actually I was only curious how that works and then published the e-book for Kindle. Perhaps I add it on CreateSpace now… haha!!! When did you seriously start working on that book idea?
So exciting indeed, so much to talk about and to laugh together! 😄

It was only a couple of weeks ago I decided to definitely do it, and just last week when I asked Chris to do the cover. That didn’t take long and it was it was very quick indeed to actually put it all together.

I was sure you would say something like that! It is amazing how quickly this happens. Almost unbelievable when it is done, that it is really done. Although there was a lot of struggle. But once it is approved and you only are one click away you think…. That was it? So cool!
