WHERE TO START?

TOO MANY UPDATES, TOO LITTLE TIME:

“So… where do I even start? I’ve been literally cranking out products every few days. I’ve already added 15 titles to my educational catalog this year. That’s last year’s productivity in 3 months…

Since My last post, I’ve added the following titles:

• 6th Grade Common Core Workbook
• 7th Grade Common Core Workbook
• 8th Grade Common Core Workbook
• Colors Basic Skills Workbook
• Dealing with Archetypical Children (A Behavior Management Manual)
• Make Your Own Comic Books & Blank Comic Book
• Movers & Shakers: Hooked on a Feeling Expansion
• Movers & Shakers: Sound of Music Expansion

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll try to keep more up to date on here, but it’s hard! I’m also maintaining 4 of my own sites, writing new materials, and working full time!

I would honestly like to get my Underspace Novels 10th anniversary editions done, too. I need to make them a priority for this year.

50 STEM Labs Site

NEW SITE:

I created a new site today for my 50 STEM Labs book series. They’re by far my best-selling pieces to date, and it just seems like they need a site! I’ve created a temporary home for them at 50stemlabs.weebly.com, which might get upgraded to a full site with a domain of my own in the next few weeks. I’m set to renew all of my sites anyway.

All Books now on NoiseTrade

NOISETRADE:

Try all of my books before buying! They’re all available for free on NoiseTrade now.  If you like it, there is a suggested tip of $2-3 per book. I’m trying this to spread the news! I know I like to read a page or two in the bookstore before I bother to buy. Why not get a free copy and then see if it’s worth paying for? I still love a physical copy of all my books though, so it’s worth buying a paper copy on Lulu or Amazon if you really love it.

New Excerpts

EXCERPTS FOR SHORT STORIES:

  I added short excerpts for all of the short stories listed on the ‘Other Stories’ section of the page. That includes:

It Started With a Letter

The Stickman

Wanderlust

Twenty

A Dance in the Twilight

The Keys to Soul

Read them! Also note that some may be in novel forms soon! It Started with a Letter should be a book on its own. The other ones, with the exception of the Keys to Soul, will be included in The Book of Dark Dreams.

Perennials Now On Kindle

PERENNIALS SERIES NOW ON KINDLE:

  I spent the afternoon (nap time) on converting all 5 Perennials Cycle books over to kindle. It wasn’t horrible, but it does take some time and require some tedious formatting. Now, the only books not on kindle are the educational volumes, which will not be put on there, since they are available on amazon in a much more functional hardcover version, and the last 2 volumes of the Underspace War.

  I still need to edit Redeeming Earth and Forever Has an End. Those will probably be released in Spring and Summer. Then I’d really like to get on to other stuff. I actually probably want to do It Started With a Letter first, and then move onto those. We’ll just have to see. It would be nice to get that volume out, because very few people have ever read it, and it might open me up to new audiences, because it’s romantic drama period fiction.

  After those are done, it’s a tossup between volume 2 of In-Roam, which is 1/3 done and 2/3 planned out, and then The Book of Dark Dreams, which just needs heavy editing but is otherwise ready to go. In such a case, the editing is preferable to new materials, as I can release faster. You don’t sell books that aren’t for sale!

  While doing this, I still need to share time with my other educational projects. I updated Common Core Assessments, reordering and splitting up some files to better show the total content available in the volume. I also added a handful of new resources to Little Learning Labs. I want to keep on growing those so I can start making google adsense money!

  That’s it for now!

New Sites

NEW SITES:

I just purchased www.underspace.org for my homesite, www.common-core-assessments.com for my workbook, and www.littlelearninglabs.com for my educational projects. Please update your links, or add them if you didn’t have them before.  🙂 I used godaddy.com for the sites and weebly for hosting.

All of that has kept me busy all day. I hope to get some more stuff done soon. I did start editing It Started with a Letter. It might take some tweaking. Some of it is narrated in 1st person and the rest is 3rd. It switches back and forth. The messenger character who narrates part of it is accidentally responsible for the whole interaction and feud between the characters and resulting love triangle. So, he talks about part of it and gives background info, while interacting. Then, the other chapters are about the girl and her letters back and forth with the protagonist/love interest.

I’ll keep working on that here and there, as time allows. I’m 1/20 of the way done! Hooray for 5%, eh?
