    On 11/30/2020, I will turn 76!
    If I didn't know better, I might think that I am getting OLD.

    Thanks to Carolusrex1

    Thank you for your favorite on Fluttershy Meets Kris. I have other Hearthwarming tales lurking down in my story list.
    I tried to post this both in your messages and by sending you a PM but both failed. Messages gave me "error in your request" and PM gave "Server error."

    I had a date with lady Forturne. She was not married. You know, MISS FORTUNE!

    It started yesterday, just as I was sitting down to the computer. A neighbor and old friend called and asked for a water delivery. No problem. Hitched up the water trailer with even less fuss and feathers than usual.

Announcing, Printed books for my short stories!! · 12:47am Nov 23rd, 2017

My first printed book project!!

A Bad Day For Grumpy Goat

is almost ready to offer!!

I will be doing other tales too.  These are going to be offered at a low wholesale to convention folks as inexpensive convention merchandise.  They will also be available at the regular price to others.

The present book size is 8.5x5.5 inches (about 216x140 mm).

These will have a cover of a heavier gloss or matte finish and 20 lb bond pages and be stapled on the spine.

I am still researching ISBN numbers and such publishing details.

So far, everything is looking good!!

These will be made available by POD (Print On Demand).  On hand inventories of finished books will be small.

I may be open to doing other people’s stories and illustrated tales as well.  That will depend on later developments.

If anyone is interested, contact me by message, ask or submit.

I think some pod places can do isbns for you too

That is true. Several POD publishers will give them to you for free.
There is a big HOWEVER in that. If they give you a number, it will list THEM as the publisher.
ISBN numbers are sold by the distributing agency on a sliding fee scale.
for ONE it costs $125, for 2-10 it costs $250, and so on down to 5000 for $5000 or only a dollar apiece. That last is how those POD houses buy them.
At a buck each, they can afford to give them away because they are getting the publisher listing for your book or whatever. Anyone searching for YOUR things will be directed to THEIR business!
The GOOD NEWS IS that for small scale niche distribution like I plan, there is no legal need for one at all!
