Exploring new places, meeting new people, and discovering a few brew pubs along the way.

My Mushroom Book

I spent this afternoon re-writing my mushroom book in an attempt to try a new publishing site.
I found it a much slower, more confusing site to work with, and in my mind not very user friendly.
I also found the creative options to be very limited in regards to
page colors, font options, text colors, and overall page layout.
On top of that,
It was more expensive.

I went to the trouble of uploading, arranging, re-writing, and editing the book mostly because I had a Groupon for this website and it was expiring soon, but secondary to that was I am looking for a way to make the book more accessible.
What I have found in using Shutterfly is,
I am able to share the book through
Facebook, Blogger, and email quite easily.

I placed my order and am waiting the final test... photo quality.

I am excited about this project because I sold my first book this weekend.
(I sold the larger iPhoto version.)
Someone saw it at the Doctor's Clinic and sought me out to purchase their own copy.  I am still a bit surprised, and I am honored at the same time.

They even asked me if I would autograph it for them.
I guess that makes me somewhat of an 'official' author.

Take a look below and let me know what you think.

When I return from a visit to Kansas and Nebraska, I hope to start the next book rolling around in my head...
FireHydrants!
