WELL! WHAT A FUN RIDE WITH

HENRIETTA HAMSTER'S 

BIG ADVENTURE!!

    I finished my KDP 3 day free promo stint with 401 downloads. 

 Now, to a lot of guru's out there, that may seem like a trifle, but for me, that is about 300 more than I had hoped for!  Pretty fun, although asking my friends to download and leave reviews was really difficult, and of course waited until the last day so it was too late, but I did get 3 FABULOUS reviews (so 4 altogether) which is pretty sweet!  
     The one thing that did kill me was that I did not get people to go to my download page to pick up the free audio of Henrietta Hamster. Was this because I made up the new site up THE NIGHT BEFORE and not time to advertise in the book itself ?  (Since Amazon does not allow links in description to your website.) 

Uh, duh. Yeah.  

Oh well, live and learn!  Next time I will have it set up. You have to do it once to know what is happening, and you can only read other peoples examples to guess.

I got the final proof from my guy for OLLIE OTTER'S DAY AT THE BEACH.

 It took 6 tries, but this is what I had envisioned, and so finally got it.  (Since it is a series, I wanted Henrietta Hamster's Big Adventure and Ollie Otter's Cay at the Beach to look alike.  And yes, I DO love Beatrix Potter book covers especially the older ones.  Maybe I am old fashioned in my book taste, but I really don't like a lot of the crappy-ass covers I see on totally outsourced Kindle books)

I love the way the pictures turned out.  Buying that Bamboo Tablet was the best thing I could have done!  
Although I have been into "Art" for a long time, (Yup we did the "Trial Run" at the Squamish Foyer Gallery  (pictures) and the big show at  Kay Meek Gallerycoming up in December for the "Read as Red" pieces. ) I never really gave Adobe Photoshop a real try until I got a pen in my hand and was able to actually "draw" on the computer.  Just can't draw with a mouse, I guess.

So I have all next week off, and will trying heartily to get Ollie Otter's Day at the Beach up and running, along with the 3 (!) A-Z picture books that I am still struggling with. (Pictures are really hard to get right on Kindle) Everything is ready to roll, except they just aren't perfect yet. I want a full page picture (as I have hidden pictures embedded and hard to see if too small)

Oh well, will be a busy "holiday" :)

Henrietta's Big Adventure

Henrietta Hamster longs for a big adventure, but when it comes her way she realizes that a big adventure is not what she expected! 

Reviews:

I predict this book will become a best-selling children's book. It is FULL of sweet, fun, and will-make-you-smile moments that I think children and adults will love equally well. The fact that the author had a hamster as a pet becomes evident in the special bonus section at the end of the book. (Love this feature!)

Whether you are looking for a sweet story to share with your children, a book that will help your children learn about caring for animals, or a book about hamsters because you are a hamster enthusiast - this book fills all that and then some.

Don't even hesitate - you and your children will love it! 

"A great book to snuggle down and read together"
"Great story for my little hamster lovers!"
"Wonderful illustrations, reminds me of the books my mom read to me as a kid!"

Bonus Hamster Care Information included in the back of the book, because after you read this book, you will definitely be interested in owning your own Henrietta Hamster!
