What the E-book is doing?

Children in England, Kenya, South Africa, Israel & Nigeria, to mention a few are reading my e-book, "Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince and the Soldier Ants".

It's free and I feel good about it. Do people really get free e-books? Are they willing to use them? Is there a skeptiscm about them? For sure there is. I would wonder why a writer would write and illustrate a book and then give it away free. Maybe this is what pulled me back from even doing this when approached. But I was at my wits end. My publisher had failed me and was not speaking to anyone. I was writing more and more and felt like a stopped up drain. So I let it out!

Now children are enjoying the book around the world and even though I'm not making any money off of it, God is wonderfully providing for me. I'm not feeling the pince of the economy like other people because there's nothing to pince. And the amazing life lessons being learned about survival, compassion, meekness and love, are priceless. This is a cause worthy of support. Children that have books contributed them appreciate them I'm sure, but if they'are anything like my seven year old grandson, they love getting new ones. This way a teacher in England prints off the book in her school, the pastor in Kenya prints off the book in his town for his orphans and they bind them anyway they want (I can imagine the creativity that goes into that!) and each child can have their own copy of "Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince and the Soldier Ants".

Just as I was getting into doing illustrations for the next one, "Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince and His First Day At School", on my Acer Aspire laptop, it's motherboard went bad. I can no longer use it. I felt stopped, but whenever I get near a computer like now, in a friend's home or the library, the writing doggedly goes on. I'm more determined than ever because of the obstacles. If the devil thought no computer would stop me, he's crazy.

I'm even bold to say now, if anyone has a laptop they are not using, please let me know so I can tell you how to send it to me. My hard drive is great so if it's a laptop without a hard drive but has a great motherboard, I'll take it.

Blessings all.

The Blizzard of 2010

I'm in it folks. I'm inside the Blizzard of 2010 in Washington D.C. area. Actually, in the town of Arlington. But 10 mins from D.C.

Tunde is now also an e-movie book and I got a comment from a family enjoying it.

One said: I played the audio-book for the children, we all loved it.

Thanks for that comment. I'm thinking of other ways to put the word out there that "Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince" is available as an e-movie audiobook.

Above is the view from the window where I'm sitting, looking at the snow outside. Little Tunde never had to deal with this growing up.

The Tunde book for children of prisoners

A former co-worker of mine at Prison Fellowship Ministries out of Lansdowne, Virginia suggested taht she submit our book - Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince - to her staff, to see if they found it to be good for a project they are doing. They are having prisoners read stories to their kids, tape them reading and send it to the children for Christmas from their parents.

Isn't that kool! I'll let you know how it goes.

At A Loss For Words

I don't really know what to say.

The Publisher hasn't been able to send me anymore books. I haven't got money to by a copy of myself. I don't know what to say. I hope other authors have this problem and I'm not here alone looking like a fool. I hope folks are buying the book and enjoying thoroughly. I know of one little 5 year old in India who enjoyed it.

This was be the illustrious life of a writer. I'm lovin' it. Won't complain. I have my hearts desire - following Jesus. He has led me here, so it must be good, for me, you, writers yet to be born. And one thing for sure I know, it's going to turn out good, because I serve a good God.

It's blogging time in my life. I can tell, because I wake up and thinking of a blog I want to send, gets me out of the bed.

Pre-Publication Release! And waiting!

Hi Everyone:

Well, my children's picture book, "Tunde, the Little Nigerian Prince" is about to be released. We (yep, you and I)are in the pre-publication or pre-release stage. I've never been here before, so I'm having to learn patience I didn't think I'd have to use. It's like other things happening in my life right now. I'm waiting. It's good to be here, though. Like they say, anything good is worth waiting for (well, actually I just said that).

"Tunde's" coming! "Tunde's" coming! The book based on my dad's life when he was a little boy growing up in the village of Egbe, is coming! I hope you ask me lots of questions and if you're too small to type, that your parents help you to type questions for me in the Comments section under each post. But I'll try to tell you things kids have been asking me for 20 years!!!, yep, that long, as I have traveled across America, telling African stories.

I'm new at blogging, so if you are too, that's fine. We'll learn together.
