1 Month Since Launch (Random Thoughts)
It's been exactly 1 month since "Kyle the Coyote" launched. Here are some random thoughts. I am sure there will be more as time passes.
The process of getting the book into school's and libraries is slow. This might be due to it being the end of the school year. With Libraries they require a review from one of the "preferred" reviewers. There are 4 major ones that all seem to have been around since the 1930s. We have submitted to 3 or the 4.
It seems like people enjoy the book. One thing I never expected is that the group who has purchased the most books are grandmothers. They like to see the grandchildren and read them the book. I've seen some photos of it.
I have also seen some photos of people reading the book to their dog. Yes...I can't make this up. Dogs like Kyle the Coyote too!
If you purchased the book leave a review here on GoodReads or Amazon. Those really help.
Another thing that's interesting is there are many people who love coyotes. I just joined a FB group called Coyote Clan that has nearly 10k followers and wonderful photography. Check it out.
Switching gears, The Youngstown, Ohio Vindicator and West Side Lost Angeles paper The Argonaut did very nice articles on the book and/or myself. They are both searchable online and the The Argonaut is more of an interview/article.
Sunday, May 22nd at noon we having our first ever book reading at The Book Jewel which is in Westchester, CA just north of LAX. There is typically a farmers market during that time frame. The store sets up a booth and reads to children. The Book Jewel has Special Edition books in the store right now.
3 Gear Games in Laurel, Maryland also has the Special Edition in stores. Other than our web site KyleTheCoyote.com these are the only two places that have the special edition. All the vendor sites have vendor edition which is sadly a lower quality version. Kind of out of my hands on that one.
We reduced to the Ebook to 4.99. From Amazon to Google Play. Its pretty much available every where.
Yes the audio version of the book is coming. I will be doing it. Its going to be a lot of fun and completely ridiculous. -MT
