Book Release! Wind Chimes, Christmas Story Collection

11/22/2015

Hooray!
I'm super excited to announce that my first book, Wind Chimes, a collection of Christmas stories, is now on the shelves!

I had originally intended for the ebook to be free, but unfortunately .99 was the cheapest price I was allowed to pick from the Kindle Publishing Services for this book. However, I have a 100% off for a limited time sale coming up soon--you'll hear more about that later. :)

I would be so happy if you read my book! I'm really sorry the ebook can't be free, but I hope that you all will get it anyways and leave me a review. :D

The print book can be found here:
Wind Chimes, Christmas Story Collection
or on Amazon.com:
Amazon.com Wind Chimes

And the e-book can be bought here:

Thanks so much everybody for your support! It's been a long process and I've learned a lot, but it's really just the beginning! :) I'm so thankful for everybody who's been behind me and encouraged me.

You all have a lovely day!

Victoria

Can't wait to read it Victoria! I'll bet you're super excited! Love you so much! Wish I could have you come stay over night with us at Grandma's on the farm! I miss you! :)

Yes, I am! And quite relieved to be actually done with it!
That would definitely be a blast on the farm! Love and miss you too, <3.

We have down loaded the book. It was exciting to find out you wrote it. We are praying it will sell well and be a blessing to those who read it. What I have read so far is really interesting reading. Catches your attention. Good Job.

Thank you! :) It's been a long but fun process learning all the behind-the-scenes details for publishing. ;)

Hi, Victoria! Mom wants an autographed paperback. Do you know how that can be done?

Victoria

11/23/2015 03:11:48 pm

Come visit us and bring it.... :D Just kidding! If you want, you could send it to me and I'd send it back. I'm not sure if there's any other way to do it currently... Let me know if you think that would work or not. :)

Visiting you all would be great!
But yeah, that sounds like a practical method. We'll buy the paperback, send it to you, and have you send it to us.
More questions - Did you publish it in America? What publishing house did you use?

Victoria

11/23/2015 10:11:33 pm

Alright, that sounds like a plan! :)
I created my own publishing "company" (BookBug Publications) and am self-publishing through CreateSpace. It is a print-on-demand business that works with Amazon, so you can buy from Amazon around the world as well as the CreateSpace site (However worldwide distribution will take a week or so more to sync). My Publishing address is in America, however. :) Hope that answers your questions!

So neat! I have read several of the stories and liked them! It has been really neat to see you go from writing short stories with your friends to publishing your own book! Keep up the good work sis!

Victoria she said she read the first story and you knocked it out of the park. I think she said you were as good as Lori Wick. She thinks you have a great future in writing if you want.

I got the physical thing for Christmas, and I wouldn't read the Kindle version till I got the physical one! ;) My favorite story is “Winifred's Adventure”, I think. It's so funny and sad at the same time. . . so much "scope for imagination"! And may I ask: is ‘Estie’ the long-lost baby? I felt suspicious as soon as I laid eyes on her :).

"Winifred's Adventure" is my second favorite I think... I don't know, it's among the top favorites at least. :) Hmm... well, I think I'll leave that up to the readers to decide who Estie is. ;)
