Paperbacks on the Way!

Ta-da! Praise the Lord that, after several weeks of battling the paperback nightmare before Christmas, one of the two paperbacks that I wanted to publishg this year (only 8 days left to 2016) finally went through. I dashed through the snowstorm in a one-horse KDP Print sleigh, crying all the way��� LOL.
Seriously, it was a lot of prayer and pain and patience and pain ��� did I say pain? ��� to get the paperback books out of the door. Part of the problem is that I am in the new KDP Print beta testing program. I am not using Createspace. So there is no help from anyone else except Amazon technical support ��� who happens to be short-staffed due to the Christmas holidays.
So now we wait. It says my book is ���in review.��� Stay tuned!
A sneak peak of how two of the pages look like:

Joyfully,

The Real Reason for the Season!

A Reading Porch

"Oh, for a nook and a story-book,
With tales both new and old;
For a jolly good book whereon to look
Is better to me than gold."
