hey there all... my novel is up and publised after a last three days of only a few hours sleep, and hard edit (hope i did better than the intro book, oh, my)
next, i have three more novels to put up, and the three short story books---all for non-profit... JAKE is the first of the whole series---all for seizure awareness and life issues with head injury (for now the money goes to a local food bank--i just got to find ways to sell the books)
THIS IS A DEEP, CHEWY, HEAVY, YET, FUN BOOK--most likely unlike anything you have read before---haha, i have to say that incase you can't stand it, oh, my...
perhaps it is a few buck high, as i have 8, per book going for the food bank, and the cost to make it is about 7+ and the lulu.com gets 2, and someone gets the other four bucks--i will have to go back and check that... (maybe i should lower it to 6 for the food bank??)
BOOK IS 21.23---PLEASE TAKE A LOOK, JUST to help it "be birthed" this was my "el cap" to climb, you all... :)
*i will post one more note on all this, and let you all mosey on over to the climb-stuff....how's that sound?
here is the link to find it (just scroll down past my other books) seems i'm a publishing "foo" now, "splashing in the water" of all this :)
http://stores.lulu.com/neebeeshaabookwayreadjakeanddonate
wow, now i just need my books to get famouse, huh? :)
*you can also hit the book titles at the store and read excerpts from inside the book...
*well--jake is like a good hard climb... it starts out slow at times, and with carefully placed details, for later---but the long run, is for its high-places... :)

hey there.. here is the back of the cover (they dont give options of putting any bracketts, etc, only text:
THE JAKE SMITH RANCH SERIES IS HERE! JAKE AND JADE SMITH,
twins— ex-rodeo folks, from south Texas, now in west Montana. Seems in the midst of ranch-life, they got what city folks need. A treasure. Seems it’s that bond of love, honor and respect for a good-buddy down. First Stoney went down, and then Jake—to save him. Jake’s back home, Stoney too—but Jake sure ain’t the same ol’ Jake he was, yet, in a sense, he really still is. Now all he has to do, is figure out how this makes sense as to who is was, who he is, and who he’s fixing to still be—howbeit, though—with a bit of new flow about him. A flow he just can’t accept, now, or perhaps ever.
~*~
The story of Jake Smith and his twin sister’s love, will touch your heart forever. Twinship at its best, while going through their worst. Jake has to redo the very presentation of himself—after he lost his tongue to a bull injury. Seizures and other after-effects from his head injury are something that he and his whole ranch-gang now seek to overcome. Seems twin-sis has the key to get her brother back in the saddle again, though—starting with getting his to communicate again
~*~
Have you ever realized what folks have to tackle on the road to reclaiming themselves after a head injury? Or from seizures—or even tongue-loss? Somewhere along that long complicated trail—family, friends and the great outdoors are longed to be embraced just as sweet as before—but trying to accomplish this, is at times hard to grasp. Here’s how the Smith Ranch gang presses-on and still finds joy. Do you dare to learn more?
~*~
Neebeeshaabookway offers a look into the inner feelings of characters and how this connects to those around them. She shares how relationships of love, lead others to overcome life’s wounds. Her Jake Smith Ranch Series, and its Steppingstones Through Jake’s Ranch (short stories), will lead you to seek victory for those you have been entrusted to love—those that have been wounded by trauma or injured in disabling ways. She offers nearly 90-100% of her work for non-profit as to herself, so that those who have faced head injury, seizures, or speech-loss, can use these earnings, hopefully for family camps to enjoy nature with loved ones—until she can find a place for these funds, they are going to LOVE INC locally for a food bank.

i am still in awe of this wonderful open door.. .and after nearly four years of failing to find any other way....
hey, say, as to the "route" seems we just to use the right one huh, no matter how long it takes---seems, my own route turned out to be that.... publisher are lookeing at too much stuff, these days... and mine is not "generic format fast-feed"....
wow, well, i celebrated with alone last night--but full of humble joy!
thanks for the response!

hey there jody.... wow.. so wonderful to see you show up here...
i was just getting off line and figuring for to tackle
jake and sofia... hhmmm, seems they are running around here on my computer somewheres... :)
man, this is tough work... the writing was as a flow of fresh waterfall.... but, now, looking out for the rocks! whewwwwwwwww....
hmmm, say, jody, as i am bubbly? welllll, i reckon i am...
course long-time back i was very much caution as to talking---as---i seemed to run into a lot of folks at the time that did not like seeing someone happy (not annoyingly happy, mind you).... it was a very bad time...
but i "surfed the waves of it all".... and after some hard times with the ex's bad additude as to life, too, here i am...
*say, there jody... say, thanks for being one of those heroes, in life, and as to my ol' book.... later, is you can
CAN YOU PERHAPS ADD A FEED-BACK PARAGRAPH IN THE AMAZON.COM
so folks can see, and then hit the "rate" button....?
seems i dont got any "guy feedback" yet... but i did get feedback from a health-worker in england, and it was good!
BACK TO HARD WORK I GO--
say, i kept in mind what you said, jody, and i did do a cheaper pocket-book type version, for JAKE... i will have to buy it now, to learn if the print is too tiny...oh, my!
but there is two printings of it, so the NOVEL--JAKE ('I'm thinkin...') is just the correct size...
*edit for jody... say, i got to thinking... perhaps i am kind of like my name "neebee" (water) or neebeeshaabookway (tea woman)...
i just kind bubble over to where i am needed... as to dry times needing a smile... you reckon?
