I like the concept of IN MEMORY OF DAD (I never knew mine). I do not have an e-reader, so if I happen to win anything, I’d like to donate it to my daughter-in-law. Thanks for participating in this adventure.

Karen, thanks for stopping by and commenting! If you win, you actually get a physical copy of my picture book “Ode to Icky”, so you don’t need an ereader 🙂

So true. Icky is based on a cat we actually have as a pet. And I do love him…even if he does smell horribly sometimes!

Hi Maranda, would love to win one of your books, they look so appealing to kids! Will have to get an e-reader so I can get the Weezie book, my son has allergies and is always coughing and sneezing, I am sure he would love it! Thanks and I hope I win:)

Hi Sherri! Weezie is currently only available as an ebook, but you don’t necessarily have to have an ereader. It is available on Smashwords in many forms, for online reading, PDF file and other easy-to-read forms. I actually don’t have an ereader myself yet, so I normally read ebooks on my laptop. You can download the Kindle app for free onto your PC, laptop or certain phones on Amazon, so that is also an option!

Can I ask how you publish E-books and sell them on Amazon? Any advice would be appreciated as I have lots of books but am a beginner publisher.

Amazon pretty much walks you through the steps. I’m certainly not an expert or anything, but just learned through trial and error.
