- About Me:
- After starting to write a book and finding the research tedious and then running out of material, I changed my subject and decided to write a booklet instead. One week later my manuscript was finished. Then, I came up with the brilliant idea of writing a second booklet to help me cross sell the first one. It worked! In spite of the fact that both booklets are available separately, I've never sold them in singles copies but always in pairs! The beauty of it is that I make as much money from the sales of my booklets as most authors do from their full size books, and my booklets were much faster to write as well as more affordable to produce!
Today I am the CEO of Up & At 'Em Publications, a company I founded which helps authors get into print fast and affordably with booklets. Booklets not only help authors get into print, but they also help promote the author and any books they've written.
Booklets are very versatile marketing tools that can be morphed into several different formats to help expand the author's market. Because of this, entrepreneurs and small business owners also benefit greatly by having a booklet.
Please visit my website and my blog to find out more about how a booklet can help you reach your publishing or marketing goals. Then contact me and lets get started on making your booklet a reality!

Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I've meant to get back to you for a while now. Yes I hear you loud and clear about booklets... Bob Prichard (sp?) did an excellent job with them in the 90's and sold thousands.......... also in our hurry up world less intimidating...
Do U found anything exciting so far?
Look forward for good news.

Would like to be your friend.
Your booklet idea sounds great! I have a book and have been writing articles and an e-zine to promote it. Been wanting to combine a bunch of articles into an e-book and sell that, as I'm marketing mainly on the web.
Looking forward to network,
Ann Stewart
