 YIPPEE!!! My new book, "I'll Try Anything Once" is available on Amazon. If you buy a copy, you will not only be supporting me, a Calgarian writer, but also my grand daughter who is the artist who designed the cover. I am so impressed with her skill, and the beauty of her artwork. Pick up your copy here , or at the Canadian site here .

Fiction: 4.25" x 6.87", 5" x 8", 5.25" x 8", 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9" Novella: 5" x 8" Children's: 7.5" x 7.5", 7" x 10", 10" x 8" Textbooks: 6" x 9", 7" x 10", 8.5" x 11" Non-fiction: 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9", 7" x 10" Memoir: 5.25" x 8", 5.5" x 8.5" Photography: Whatever you see fit!

YIPPEE!   I'm sending off for a proof copy as we speak.   Very soon, all you sweet blog readers will be able to order your very own copy as well.
