Strange...it just took me straight to the review. But then, I'm a subscriber. Try searching for the video on the site by the book name or by "Ron Charles".

Wonderful promo suite! Good luck with the book, Carole.

This is THE funniest book review I have ever seen.

Ron Charles reviews "The Next Person You Meet in Heaven," by Mitch Albom, which feels more like an angelic pyramid scheme. https://wapo.st/2NxUv8m

Oh Susanna placed silver and my historical series won Bronze in the Moonbeam awards as well.

Excellent!

Thanks, Judy...I'm going to continue writing until someone buys a book! (;>)

LOL thanks, Carmel. I try.

Just out this morning: Book 8 in Our Flash Fiction Anthology series:

Flash Fiction Stories of the Young



George Bernard Shaw once said: “Youth is wasted on the young.” Hopefully, you didn’t waste yours! Growing up as six-year-old child working in the coal mines of England in the 19th century, for example, precluded anything even close to what today would be considered a “normal childhood,” much less giving you a good chance of living past 30. Your chances of surviving to old age were somewhat better if you were born during the Great Depression, though then, many children often went to bed hungry. Compare their lives to those of children born after World War II. This anthology comprises 73 stories related to childhood selected from the 438 stories found in Books 1 through 6, incl., of the Creative Ink, Flashy Fiction anthologies. The stories, each 250 words or fewer in length, are best compared to a handful of peanuts or M&M’s. Which is to say, they’re tiny, bite-sized morsels that won’t let you stop with one!

Psst…did you recognize the young woman whose photograph appears on the cover? That’s Alice Liddell of “Alice in Wonderland” fame, here dressed as a beggar-maid. The seductive photograph was taken by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll in 1858. Alice’s parents eventually became suspicious of Lutwidge at one point (he was a photographer and fond of taking pictures on young women). Eventually, they excluded Lutwidge from their and their three daughter’s life.

Well, it beats staring at the ceiling, Dale.

I received this e-mail from Jedlie this morning...he runs a Internet "radio show" on which authors can promote their childrens and YA books:

Greetings to all my past Reading With Your Kids guests!

Thanks to you and our listeners you have helped the podcast hit number 1 on iTunes Kids and Family Podcasts Chart almost everyday in 2018.

We hope you enjoyed being on the show and that it has helped your book get the attention it deserves.

We are currently working to compile a list of Best Marketing Practices that we can share with you and other authors on future episodes of the podcast. What is the one marketing practice that has helped you generate the most sales? What is the marketing practice you employ most often?

We will be sure to let you know when we begin sharing these tips on the show.

Speaking of the show, do you have a new book that has been released since your last appearance? Is there a book you had published in the past that we did not have a chance to speak about? We would love to have you back on the show so we can help you tell the World about your great writing. (When I say the World I mean the World! The Reading With Your Kids Podcast has been downloaded to every continent in the World, including Antarctica!)

If you would like to come back on the show please visit our scheduling page https://meetme.so/Jedlie to find a date and time that would work for you. And please feel free to share this link with any of your author friends you think would make a great guest on the show.

Thanks again for being a part of the Reading With Your Kids Family!

I think the jury is still out. I haven't done much advertising, and unless you're in people's faces constantly, it's difficult to be heard above the noise.

I will be running an ENT sale starting with Book Of The Day for Book 3 on October 16th...on that date, and for the week thereafter, Books 1-4, inclusive, of the Kindle editions of my flash fiction anthologies will be on sale for 99 cents each. (Books 5 and 6 will go on sale for a week starting on the 18th (because of their KDP contract periods)). We'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, I've started work on a combination short story/flash fiction volume for release in 2019.

Congratulations! Looks to be a winner!!!

Sounds intriguing, Dale. Good luck! And happy birthday. The more of them you celebrate, the longer you live! It's a fact!
