Ready to Roll!
Many thanks to my daughter Isabelle for completing the proofing of dad’s manuscript. I just uploaded and hit “submit” on our Create Space account and am really excited about moving forward in the publishing process. I can’t wait to hold a hard-copy of my dad’s talent and hilarious wit in my hands. My only regret? I won’t be able to share it with him.
This has been both an incredibly rewarding and very emotional experience. I have found myself laughing and crying while reading and re-reading his stories. So many times I want to pick up the phone and call him to ask him questions, laugh with him, share with him, etc.
I miss you daddy!
This must be a very bittersweet experience for you and the rest of the family. But a book that can be read and enjoyed is a more pleasing memorial to a person’s life than the few words that can be put on a headstone in a cemetery, especially when a book can capture the ESSENCE of a person’s humor, talent, and personal experiences. Not every daughter would do this for her Dad… and I hope that, along with Createspace for the paperback version, you also turn it into an e-book on KINDLE as well, which is what I’ve been diong! Then comes the VERY hard task of getting people interested and curious enough — and who have the funds available — to buy a copy! All you can really be cerain of is that people who KNEW your father, and those in your family, with surely buy a copy! BUT,… if you keep promoting the book likethis… WHO KNOWS?! It may become a best seller! ———Ed
Hi Ed. Thanks for your comments. YES we are also doing a Kindle version. Long time no speak – hope you have been well! “Best Seller” – I like the sound of that! 🙂 Certainly appropriate as he was the BEST FATHER!
Hi Ed, I just saw this – wow – can’t believe I missed it! Thanks so much for you comment and yes, we are now not only published, but the Kindle version will be out the beginning of May! Thanks so much for stopping by – much appreciated!
