Something About Me and My Book:
My new book titled: " Dusty," Isbn# 1424120187 is the story about a little boy who finds an abandoned kitten and adopts her. This is the story of her adventures and the great love a boy has for his cat. I have two more books out, the first: " Clara Layten-The Chelsea Murders," and " Visions Of Freedom," based on one man's desire to flee the horrors of the Castro regime, all available at Amazon Books.

    Hi Joseph, what a darling cat! As you can see I'm a cat lover as well. I think it is quite admirable that you're donating some proceeds of your book to a worthy foundation.

  • Russ Heitz

    Thanks, Joe, good luck with Dusty, too! In addition to my suspense novel I've also been trying my hand at Picture Books texts the past year or so. But the competition is really fierce and so are the odds of acceptance. At least in the 'traditional' world of publishing. Our cat, Tigger, looks alot like Dusty.

    Hi Russ:

    Thanks....Miss Dusty would love your compliment...Would love
    to see a photo of Tigger....I have been trying to work on a sequel
    to Dusty, I only have five pages...I would love to self publish it
    my self , have you ever checked out lulu.com you can self publish
    they keep a small percentage, you name the price. I have two other
    books I tried through them but I don't know how to scale down the
    size of my manuscript from 8 X 11 to a 6 X 9 book ? Any clues ?

    Cheers..Joe

    Joe:
    Thanks for the note. I tried sending you one back but it seems to have disappeared. This site doesn't work the same as MySpace so I'm not sure I'm following the proper procedure. Maybe I'll try it your way -- write a message to you on MY page. We'll see if that works.
  • Russ Heitz

    Still having trouble leaving you another message. I'll try again on my page. Russ
  • Author & Book Promotions

    Hi Joe,

    I'm not sure why the other site wouldn't accept you. That seems strange to me. Perhaps you can try again later.

    Anyway, nice hearing from you.

  • Russ Heitz

    Thanks for your help and patience, Joe. I love your photos, especially the snowy scene and the cat pix. Not much snow here in Florida so the photo brings back memories. Keep in touch. And best of luck with your many projects!
  • Russ Heitz

    Thanks, Joe, will do. If you've taken all of them you are one good photographer! Russ
  • Terry Whalin

    Joe,

    See if you can look into special markets with your book. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then look for Beyond The Bookstore by Brian Jud--even if you get it from your library.

    Also look around at Jerry Jenkins site at: Bookmarketing.com just for some ideas--because it seems to me that pet stores and cat food companies would be a good place to sell loads of your book--just an idea. You will have to put legs to it. Hope it helps,

    I have three novels self-published . . . One, "My Mother's Revenge" is a down-home, south Louisiana thriller . . . "Margaret and David: A Love Story" is about an interracial love story which takes place eight years after America's second civil war, which the Black Muslims won and exacted revengeful retribution to the white race. Margaret, black and David, white fight the odds in a tale reminiscence of the original civil rights movement in this country . . . My newest novel is a detective-thriller and is called "Write To Murder," and involves literary skullduggery in a writing club in Sans Souci, Louisiana . . .

    Hi Joseph. Thanks for the friend request. I am actually a cocker-spaniel lover. I do my bit for the cat world by trying to stop my dogs chasing them up the tree. Best wishes for success of your book.
  • Kris Stanhope

    Hi Joseph. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. I hope all is well with your writing.
  • Charlotte McPherson

    Hi, I have two cocker spaniels. When I was a child I always had a cat. I loved cats! About two years ago my business colleague was given a Cocker Spaniel because the owners were leaving Turkey. I fell in love with the dog. She was about 9 yrs. then. A few weeks ago a woman gave me her young Cocker-about age 5. Turks do not know much about pet care and when they realize they require time and some care, they sometimes decide they do not want the pet anymore. Cockers are great pets. I write as a columnist for a English newspaper in Turkey. You might enjoy my article about dogs- copy, paste, and click and you can read it:

    All Authors...

    The following is a new site created by Amazon called: Creat Space . It's for authors who want to publish on demand and Amazon will give free ISBN#'s ans UPC codes for Audio Cd Books ( their still working on the Audio CD Books ) Check it out I think it's a great idea, I plan to publish my Dusty sequel through them.
