Post-Chinese New Year Celebration – Raggedy Chan Giveaway!

Posted on: February 1st, 2012 by Camille 2 Comments

In the spirit of always running late, I’m hosting a post-Chinese New Year celebration on my blog. (I swear there was a time in my life when I was always early, but that was pre-motherhood.)

I am giving away free copies of the Raggedy Chan e-book from now until Feb 15th. You can download your copy at Smashwords. Use coupon code UE45P.

Smashwords has e-books in many different formats, including e-pub (Nook) and mobi (Kindle). Please feel free to share this coupon!

Happy belated Chinese New Year, everyone!

New Version of Raggedy Chan – available now!

Posted on: December 20th, 2011 by Camille 2 Comments

 

For those of you already familiar with the “original” Raggedy Chan, you know it’s an illustrated novella with 40 full-color illustrations.

I recently made the decision to release a text-only version of the book. Why? A few reasons. First, with text-only, I was able to get the price of the print book down to $7.99. I really want to make my books affordable to readers. Secondly, the full color version has no distribution to online or brick-and-mortar stores. (There’s lots of detail behind this difficulty, which I can explain if anyone is interested.) By releasing a text-only version, I was able to get full distribution for the story. This story is dear to my heart, and I want to make it available to as broad an audience as possible.

I am looking at releasing the illustrated version for both Kindle Fire and Nook Color. Stay tuned!

Great turn out at Fort Bragg public library presentation

Just finished up my presentation at the Fort Bragg library a few hours ago. Great turn out — about 40 people! Lots of kids, many of them both readers and writers. I sold a tidy handful of Raggedy Chan book and doll sales. All in all an awesome time!

More details later, along with some presentation tips.
