I Didn’t Win, But I’m Glad to Be Playing

Hi All

While looking at my publisher’s website, I was surprised to see that my app for the iPad, The Sister Exchange, was nominated for the 2012 Cybil Awards.  For the uninitiated, the Cybil Awards are literary awards put out by Children and Young Adult Book Bloggers. You can find out more about the award and the finalists at http://www.cybils.com/2013/01/the-2012-cybils-finalists.html#more

While I didn’t win any awards, it was nice just to be in the game.  I was happy to see my app next to so many other talented authors, illustrators, developers and publishers who had the vision and drive to take an enjoyable story for children and take it to the next level. 

To see The Sister Exchange for the iPad, (an enjoyable little app if I do say so myself) please check out the link below.

Featured at Writers on the Move-Interactive eBooks

Hi All,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to let everyone know that I'm being featured at Writers on the Move.  I am talking about creating interactive eBooks and how my picture book, The Sister Exchange, was created for the iPad.  If you get a chance, please stop by and say hello.

The Sister Exchange is now an interactive Ebook app for the iPad

Hi All,

I’ve been pretty quiet around here recently and although I’ve been bursting at the seams to let people know, I wanted to wait until I had something concrete to show before I made any kind of announcement. My picture book, The Sister Exchange, has been published as an interactive book for the iPad.

There are plenty of features to this book including, movable graphics, sound effects, music, animations, and author readings by yours truly. There are even bonus features such as a jigsaw puzzle and hidden autograph page with a personalized message.

This book is priced at $2.99. Considering all the features this book has, I think it’s a bargain. I’ve tested the app and I’m very, very happy with the results.

So if you have an iPad and you would like to hear a picture book read with a New York accent, boy do I have the book for you! The link to the iTunes store is below.
