WHY I DON'T POST

I keep on posting and posting on FaceBook, I tweet and tweet on Twitter and no one ever seems to want to retweet or reply to any tweet I send.

I find it extremely frustrating. You’ve written an award winning children’s book, “A Lesson My Cat Taught Me”. which teaches its young readers about the acceptance of others for who they are and not what they are, and apparently no one seems to be interested in getting it for a young reader, even the KINDLE Unlimited edition gets no traffic even though it's FREE.

 

Here’s the link to see the award this book has won, as well as the purchase links.

In order to hoping reach a new and different audience I’d love to have your support for my THUNDERCLAP campaign for my award winning children’s book:

This THUNDERCLAP ends on May 15, 2017

 

THANKS for generous support in this endeavor.

The thing is I've got two manuscripts for books which also attempt to teach a lesson in the same low key manner as this book. The first deals with self-confidence, and the second deals with friendship and bullying. I'd love to write a few more stories, but with things the way they are, I find I'm lacking the motivation to write anything.

So in closing I hope you have a wonderful week with everything and anything you find yourself working at, as I sit here waiting for someone to interact with on the internet.

 

I KNOW WHAT I SAID THE LAST TIME- - - AND I'M NOT GIVING UP !!!

BELIEVE ME !!!

I know what I said the last time I did an entry about my starting to promote my book again. And I did precisely that:

I went to an adoption event at a local no-kill shelter soon after I made my last post and said I would be donating $1.00 for every book I sold during the event. I wound up selling 14 books and donated $14.00 to the shelter. Given I must collect sales tax on every book sold.  I didn't want to be bogged down having to make coin change I simply added 5 cents,  rounding the price of the book to $ 7.00 which included of all of the tax due on the price of the book I had lowered it to.

Unfortunately, the press coverage I had hoped for didn't materialized so I could announce that I would be donating a portion of all the royalties I would be receiving to the shelter. At the same time I attempted to do a Thundeclap event but unfortunately I couldn't get enough supports for it.  I also failed in my Thunderclap attempt the following month as well.

No one seems to be interested in interviewing  me for their blogs or doing a SpotLight on me or my book. My tweets only get a small handful of Retweets.  And with all the talk shows on their summer hiatus I've got to wait until September to them to start taping their shows again.

The good news is someone just told me of a blog site which is for Indie Authors like myself and offers a free posting of books by independent authors once a month. All I have to do is to find the piece of paper I wrote it on.

For some reason I can't figure why no one seems to be interested in an award winning children's book [ages 5 - 8] which attempts to teach it's young readers about the acceptance  of others for who they are and not what they are.

If anyone is interested in know more about my book and the award it had won here's the direct link to the entry i made here

If anyone has any suggestion which can help me in my endeavors to promote my book I would appreciate know about it.

THANKS IN ADVANCE YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. ! ! !

If you can't be at the event have no fear I'll be donating a portion of the royalties I receive from the sales of this book during the month of April on Amazon.  Links for both the paperback editions can be found in the above link for the reward the book had received.

MY THUNDERCLAP

In order to restart the promoting of my award winning children's book, "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me" I started a THUNDERCLAP and would appreciate any support you can give me in his endeavor.

The lesson my book communicates is the acceptances of others for who they are and not what they are.  This is an important lesson we need to teach our children about.

I'M BACK

I know it's been a LONG LONG TIME since I've posted anything here but due my dear wife being hospitalized then going to REHAB, and then breaking her hip requiring a partial replacement and then more REHAB it's been about a year since I've felt up to doing anything in regards to promoting my awards winning children's book, or even trying to write anything.

Hopefully I'll be able to post things on a more regular basis going forwards.

Wishing everyone an extremely wonderful weekend with your families.

BOOK REVIEW # 2015-0

ANOTHER ATTEMPT FAILED

I finally converted my award winning children's book "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me" to a KINDLE Edition earlier this year reducing the paperback price of $6.95 to $2.99 for the KINDLE sales were to say DISMAL. For one week last week I had a KINDLE Countdown for it, reducing the price to a mere 99 cents, and to my disbelief I sold less than 10 copies at this low price.




With this failure I now giving away 10 autographed copies of my book with the award sticker attached to those on GoodReads.  As part of my description for the giveaway I've given links to the award I've won as well as information on the group connect with the award.




https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/103256-a-lesson-my-cat-taught-me


The award is open to the US only !!!

The lesson the book tries to convey is the acceptance of others for who they are and not what they are. While the book is geared for children between the ages of 5 – 8, it's enjoyable by readers of any age.

EVERYTHING HAS REMAIN THE SAME UNTIL NOW

Despite all my efforts sales of my award winning children's book "A Lesson My Cat Taught" has been to say the least dismal  :-(  :-(  :-(
I've offered to do a book signing and donate of portion of each sale to a 501c3 charity twice, one never returned any messages even after two phone calls to them. Each time they wanted a copy of the book for their review. I'm still waiting until tonight [June 13 2014] to receive a return call after which I'm going to cancel my offer.
So if no one is actually buying any copies, whether it be the paperback or KINDLE edition, I'm holding a GIVEAWAY

NOTHING NEW IS HAPPENING

Just to let everyone know I'm not missing. It's just there's nothing happening to regards to my award winning children's book "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me."


While I am see a few sales on the book on KINDLE most have been in the UK.  No matter how often I post something about the book on the internet, nothing seems to materialize when it comes to realizing any substantial sale figures.  I've got two completed manuscripts written for the same 5 - 8 year olds which comprise a minor series. And I've got a third manuscript halfway finished, waiting for the two completed ones to the self-publishing process.


Perhaps I should have written my book under a pen name of some sort.


Anyway I've begun a push on LinkedIn to connect with people. Got to connect with scores more people on FaceBook and Twitter, etc. I've got to be able to break through the ice one day or another.


One thing I need to be able to do is to get on Ellen DeGeneres show - but getting on can only happen in a dream,

HERE'S THE AWARD MY CHILDREN'S BOOK WON !!!

The group which organized the 2011 Sharp Writ Awards [Smart Book Lovers] has changed their website.  And in doing so has deleted any information it once had regarding my book, "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me.
So here's an image of the award I'd received for my book.



   The following link will tell you something about Smart Book Lovers, the organizer of the Sharp Writ awards.  The judges for the Children’s Books Category are members of this group. https://www.linkedin.com/company/1720896?trk=tyah&trkInfo=tas%3Asmart%20book%20l%2Cidx%3A1-1-1

The lesson the book tries to convey is the acceptance of others for who they are and not what they are.

A NEW YEAR - NEW HOPES FOR SUCCESS !!!

This year I made a New Year's Resolution to finally get the sales of my award winning children's book, "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me" moving.  To accomplish this I've just started the process to convert the book to a KINDLE format.  It's amazing, children as young as five I've learned are actually reading books on KINDLE devices.

The process should take about ten days to complete. Meanwhile, I'm officially back and promise to make regular posts here from now on.

THE INSPIRATION HAS DIED

“UNO” was the main inspiration for my award winning children's book. She died on August 31, 2013 from a hyperactive thyroid as my wife and I watched. We’d rescued her from the garage we’d parked our car in over 12 years ago. Her one eye never stopped her from doing anything.

We have a few pictures of her and we’ll always have my award winning children’s book “A Lesson My Cat Taught Me” I to remember her by.  [ http://www.amazon.com/Lesson-My-Cat-Taught-Me/dp/1452810885 ]

The lesson she inspired for the book is the acceptance of others for who they are and not what they are. We can all learn a lot from our pets.

I would love for everyone to consider buying a copy of my book for that young member of your family.  The book’s intended audience is 5 – 8 years old.  However it’s enjoyable by readers of all ages.

The sad thing about my book is that although it had been the 3rd Place Runner-Up in the 2011 Sharp Writ Awards - Children's Book Category; a contest which is organized by Smart Book Lovers, the members of which all belong to MENSA and other Hi IQ groups, and that the children who are members of these group had judge the Children's Books, no one has seemed to be interested in the book.  I've got two additional manuscripts completed for children's book which are gathering dust until my first writing endeavor has garnered enough support to pursue publishing them.

I've already set out on what might be my final attempts to promote and market my book in the hopes I can at long last achieve the interest the book deserves. 

THE NEW BEGINNING

Since I didn't really have anything to post on my previous blog
sweberuno.blogspot.com since March 31st it apparently got shut down and I had no way of doing any new posts.

I'll be posting some new entries as I'm revamping and redoing the entire marketing and promoting of my writing and my award winning children's book "A Lesson My Cat Taught Me,"
