Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have been super focused on my Publishing and have been inactive on WA for the time being and may be very slow to responding to comments as well.

Wen has been publishing also and now has several Public Domain titles up on KDP Amazon.

For my part, I now have 1618 book/ebook titles published on KDP Amazon & Lightning Source, Inc.

I now have 44 Amazon Bestselling Titles including 2 titles that achieved that today at the same time.

Partial View

I rejoined IBPA Independent Book Publishers Association, because Lightning Source has a monthly Promo where I can publish 5 titles per month practically free rather than paying for setup charges for each title. I still have to provide the ISBN's.

I have submitted one title there and working on the 2nd one now with 5 more lined up to work on.

Lightning Source has different specs and its been challenging for me to create covers so I have hired someone to do a cover for me this week and then I'll submit my 2nd title to Lightning Source.

KDP Amazon limits daily submissions of titles to just 3 book titles and 3 ebook titles. I believe it was because of all the AI content being produced so quickly.

Later this month, I'll purchase TurboTax to get my taxes done and filed for last year. Oh joy! :-( They are due on April the 15th here in the USA.

I do take the time to walk at least an hour each day now and my weight is at 197 lbs inching its way to 185 which is my ideal weight.

So I'm juggling health and family also.

I'm eager to see the new UX roll out on WA along with the new training potential and what will happen with the Ambassador program so I check in from time to time to see what Kyle is posting.

Ok, its back to publishing for me!

To Our Success!
