On the Twitter side, I am a handful of followers away from 900.  This gives us a little more reach to help others with what we have learned on this odyssey.  Of course, it gives me a priceless audience for what I might want to say, and to receive feedback that always makes a person better at whatever they might want to try.

My account was finally created on Barnes & Noble and I hope to get the account, from which orders can be taken (Nook eReader), finalized ASAP.  The format of the Nook is ePub – which is the primary format for eBooks.  Thanks to Walt at Five Rainbows, his full-service book design process provides me with versions of the book in all formats!

The balance of next week will to offer the book on additional eBook retailers, in the USA and in Europe.  By blanketing the market, I trust that we will be able to get the book into print sooner!

It is 54.9 degrees outside with bright sunshine.  The golfers are out in force today – what an amazing breed.  Lastly, I purchased a ‘new’ car last week that should carry me forward for the next several years.  Love those 100,000 mile power train warranties!

Be well and stay warm!

As covered earlier, I’ve been sending out a PDF of Views from Sandhausen to editors, celebrities, selected friends and any other person from whom I have a “Tinkers Chance In He**” in receiving a positive review. 

The first review is in and I am eternally grateful to Becky, a recently published author of: PIP: A Very Special Little Caterpillar.

“Views from Sandhausen” is a fun, fast read, riddled with tidbits of humor and information.  Expats will relate easily to the Feightners experiences.  Tourists will find it informative and eye-opening.  It is culture shock blended nicely with the analytics of an engineer and the optimism and humor of a house wife.  Kudos to the Feightners for sharing their Views from Sandhausen!

I continue to send our requests and am looking for a return rate of 10%.  I don’t think that is outrageous, and will have a direct impact on the book I purchase from the writers.  Ditto for movies, records and whether I vote for them in future elections!

That’s it for today.  Back to the Salt Mines

NOTE TO READERS: If you believe that you fit into the above group, please let me know.

2nd NOTE TO READERS: This is not intended to be a back-door to obtain the book for free, as the book to be published, and the eBook, are more than I am sending out :-) .  If you DO write a positive review that I believe will help sell the book, there might be room for negotiation!
