MY DREAM HAS FINALLY BEEN FULFILLED


Things are happening at an unbelievable rate now. No sooner did I post my previous entry than my doorbell rang. UPS was there with the PROOF COPY of my book in hand. Needless to say I had been totally surprised as the item must have been shipped so fast that the tracking information didn’t have a chance to appear on my account.

The excitement didn’t stop there, I called CreateSpace to advise them I’m ready to release the book, they walked me through the finalization steps for the book to appear on my e-store so I can sell the book more directly; and the instant I pressed “publish my book” it was there. At this point, I had been advised it would take a few days for the information I entered for my e-store to cross over to Amazon.com.

From the moment I typed the first word of my manuscript until the moment my finger typed the final period, the experience can best be described as being on a roller coaster--an experience which I wrote about on website/blog and duplicate on my three other blog sites.

So with this my dream of becoming an author has finally been fulfilled, because my debut novel, a YA Paranormal/Time Travel/First Kiss romance, entitled “I Kissed a Ghost” has at long last been finally  released.

You might say my day couldn’t get any better, but, it did…WHY?  Because, when for curiosity sake I decided to check Amazon.com for my book, it was already there, available for everyone to purchase and enjoy. [Naturally, I couldn’t believe this, so I called, and became ecstatic when I got inform my book is indeed LIVE.

 My book is currently available on Amazon at

England/U.K.

For those who live in any other country you’ll have to use the Amazon site you normally use to ordering your books. I expect to have the Kindle edition available in a few weeks which will increase the distribution area to those countries that can get Amazon kindle for their geographic area.

If anyone is interested in having a better idea of what my book is about, and to read a little of it, I’ve posted several UNEDITED SNIPPETS here on my blog, under the category of GHOSTLY WHISPERS.

    1. Hi Michelle,

      The only thing I can say is what I just told Shirley a moment ago in the above:

      THANKS for the feedback.
      THANKS for your support.
      I truly appreciate it.

      I can only hope that everyone who buys a copy will tell their friends. Remember if you look for the several GHOSTLY WHISPERS entries I've made here on my blog, you'll be able to hear UNEDITED SNIPPETS from my original manuscript.

      Hope you and yours had a Very Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year
