And...

Half Italian, now officially Half Italian (and then some) is available.

Here are the links for Kindle, and for Nook.

My head is spinning. I didn’t expect this, at all. What was simply a personal thank-you for years of reading enjoyment, less than a month ago, from me to the author who told me to PERSEVERE, led to life for a project I thought was dead. My head is spinning from the speed of getting the book online and profiles created.

I know there’ll be nasty remarks; I’ve read plenty on Amazon, even for bestsellers. They’ll hurt, of course, but that’s part of a project’s life. Alive!

And so, with all this, I now move from “PJ” to “Joe”.

Moving right along

Things are happening. I received a first draft of what’ll be Half Italian’s cover. While I work on that with my contact and set up accounts, I’m learning bits about the ebook world.

Facebook moves fast! The page I created to promote the book is also an overwhelming platform of communication – so much that I simply say “enough” after a bit and log off, to keep pace with life. I still have a flip-open cell phone that I never turn on, so Facebook’s type of fast is both intimidating and exhilarating. But so far, connection to people from my past is rewarding. Last Sunday afternoon I had a phone call with a friend who moved out of state years ago. High School classmates have been kind.

Today I’m tackling Goodreads.

More, soon, on when and where the book will be available.

News

There’s news to report. After giving up last year, I re-read a few books from the author who told me to PERSEVERE. Having enjoyed her writing for nearly forty years, I decided to send her a short email. In the last sentence I mentioned I’d given up trying to get Half Italian published. She suggested publication via ebook and offered me a contact who could get everything set up, including a cover design, should I decide to go that route.

Well, I did and here I am. While the contact does her work, I’m setting up the necessary accounts. Here’s the beginning of a Facebook page I’ll use to promote Half Italian.
