Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure is PUBLISHED

Well, it took a little longer to publish Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure than I thought it would!  After nearly a month of re-writing, re-vamping and re-freaking out I finally uploaded yesterday!


 I have to say, I still like the cover that I designed - a la Betrix Potter style - and the watercolour illustrations look nice in the Kindle Previewer on my computer (and iphone). I have to admit, I just was tired of seeing all the children's books being put out there with "el cheepo fiver" illustrations. (Fiver.com is a site where you can get practically anything done for five bucks. That runs the gamut from a bearded guy in a spandex suit singing Happy Birthday, to full blown researchers looking to make a couple of extra bucks)

I also was blown away with the great review one of my customers wrote -  she noticed everything that I hoped people would want and need in a children's book - an interesting story, a bit of taking care of a hamster, and of course, nice illustrations.  Being an artist, I really like a good visual, so that was important!

EDIT: OH MY! I just looked, I am #21 in the paid section of Kindle!!   WOW!  No idea what that really means, but I am sure I will find out :)
Here is the link to the Amazon Page, hope you enjoy the book! Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure
