CreateSpace eStore

All systems are go, my proof was approved, but it might take a few days for Extreme Hosting to be back on Amazon. Until then (and even after that!) it will be available on the CreateSpace eStore.

Below is what that looks like and the link is createspace.com/3817074.

CreateSpace Mystery Solved!

My book has been off of Amazon for weeks & I've been working with the CreateSpace team to solve an undesirable mystery. I made the changes that I wanted to the cover image but when I did that, the title on the cover of my book went from 2" X 3" to 3/4" by 2".  Yikes! It looked awful and I wasn't putting it back up on Amazon looking like that!



New Cover Look

Thanks to Zack in Member Services! He determined that I had additional 'enters' in the title section that were creating the smaller text. I'm sure I did that (without realizing it) when I was trying to change the size of the font. I just got the approval for these changes this morning and my book will be back on Amazon soon. Yet another reason to love CreateSpace!

Holiday Weekend

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. If you didn't have Monday off, I hope you enjoyed light traffic on your way to work! While most people in New England were heading North or West to enjoy the colorful foliage, we decided to head South East to the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island.

 Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo until November 3.

The park/zoo website states over 5000 pumpkins but when you get there they have over 10,000! 'This year’s Spectacular, titled “All the World’s a Stage,” features scenes from iconic and popular movies, Broadway hits and television series. Another section pays homage to man’s best friend with an array of carved pumpkins conveying the amazing variety of dog species. In addition, the night wouldn’t be complete without the annual Halloween scene and the kids section filled with childhood favorites. The climax is an incredible Laughing Tree display comprised of hundreds of pumpkins of every size and the distinctive “laughing” music.'

 This was a truly fantastic experience that my entire family enjoyed.

 

Unexpected Request

Yesterday I got a post card from my daughter's college in the mail. 

Printed on the front of the post card over a healthy yet savory looking piece of chicken was:

Taste of Home

Thursday, October 25, 2012 

 

And on the back:

 

Does your student have a favorite home-cooked meal that they would love to see served at school?

 

Why not give them the chance to enjoy it.

 

Simply go online and send us your recipe. We will be choosing 10 - 15 recipes to be featured in the Commons residential dining hall for dinner on Thursday, October 25.

 

We'll also be giving those 10 -15 students whose parent's recipes were chosen $50 extra dining dollars.

 

I'm going for it!

Wish me luck...
