Book Signing Party

Book Signing Party 2020 Style

Photo by Kurt Keller

I have finished a big deadline and now have some time to focus on getting books signed and sent out. So, I'm having a signing party this weekend and putting together all the packages for people who have ordered the book directly from us. I've also made and received some fun teddy bear swag and am putting together thank you packages for my patrons who helped make this book possible with their generous support.

We still have a few books left. If you are interested in getting a personalized copy, please contact us with your information.

I wish I could have a signing party with my Mom, but with 2020 being what it is, we will have to suffice with a virtual book signing together. A big thanks to my sisters, Valyn and Kara, for this photo and for helping make this all a reality. XO

 

And thank you all for your support and sharing this adventure with us! Please remember as well that book reviews are always helpful.

You can be brave no matter how small you are or feel.

A Big Teddy Bear Thank You

Remember, you can be brave even though you are small.

A huge thank you goes out to my mom who has always inspired me to climb the biggest mountain and pushed me to believe I can do anything. This book is for you.

Good News. Bad News

 

We got the first printed book of Itsy Bitsy Teddy Bear's Adventure!

Yay, but…

 

The cover is beautiful and the color of the interiors is as well, however, the printing on the interior has been cropped wrong and there are white bands on the tops and bottoms of all the pages. Ugh! So, I’m awful sorry to say, you need to be patient a while longer while we get this sorted out.

First Print Back Cover

 

*Update* 

Printing problems with the cropping

 

We have found the problem and are now in the process of getting it fixed. We have ordered a new proof copy from IngramSpark. I hope this final proofing stage won't take too long so we can send Itsy, Bitsy, Teddy Bear Willie out into the world.

 

 

Thank you ever so much for your patience and support!
