I am excited to announce that it is now available in hardcover! Get yours today! It'll take you back to what it was like to be a kid on Christmas - what better feeling is there than that?

@Cerra__ Yes and no. I'm friends with people that I was friends with while in high school, but I don't really talk to anyone from my actual high school anymore - well, I talk to one person, but not on a regular basis.

@TheScribblerCMB Oh for me it's that my child can be too rough with ME! LOL I need to learn my big girl bark. Couldn't find the gif I wanted, but this'll have to do for context.

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

@TheScribblerCMB Yeah. For now..... Hahaha Other perks are he can play rough with our kid. I'm not as good at that.

@hdrake_ I had a 2 year slump when my son was born. I typically just wait out the slump, because trying to come up with stuff (and failing) just made me sad and led to an identity crisis. Sometimes you just gotta wait it out. Can't write yourself out of everything.

Finally got to see my Christmas book in person! It's beautiful! And we had a wonderful holiday with friends and family! Merry Christmas, everyone!

I don't share my child on here except for what he says, but this was too entertaining NOT to share. "Ladies and Gentlemen! I will go to a big restaurant ever again! Ever again! Amen!"

Hello, world! If you were looking for a slightly cheaper version of my book, the paperback option is now available. Check it out, and get all your Christmas shopping done in one go! https://t.co/j5GN96uUvy

For the sake of clarity and kindness, none of my extended family is on Twitter. Or if they are, they don't know I'm here.

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

So.....how do you hint to your extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) that you aren't gifting them your books, and they need to buy them if they want them without coming across as rude?

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

@JacquelineFieck Not to me directly, but I think some may have asked my mom about them.

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

@TheScribblerCMB Haha. The problem is that no one has asked me, but I also know they haven't bought any copies of any of my current books. What's more annoying is when people ask how the sales are going without contributing any support. I get that not everyone can afford to buy, but still.

My toddler opened a book to the last page and said, "The book is crying." I said, "I think they're singing, not crying." His response? "Oh, the book is laughing." And I couldn't deny it, so I said, "They could be." Thank you for sticking around for this extremely mundane story.

I've at least solved ONE of the formatting issues! Now I just need to solve the other formatting issues. And I think I know just how to do it.

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

@TheScribblerCMB And if not, it's really not the end of the world. Not like I have an agent or publishing company breathing down my neck. This is all self-imposed.

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

I apologize for the publication delays for my Christmas book. Formatting to fit the Amazon KDP guidelines has not been my friend. Thank you for your patience, and I hope to get this book out soon.

Question courtesy of my 2-year-old: What color is the moon?

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

@VancityReynolds I mean ... You're welcome. I've been listening to it on repeat just about every day since watching. I like to think that it's helping me write my Christmas children's book (to be published really soon once I fix formatting errors).

[MAG Reading and Writing @MAGReadAlouds]

I would just like to apologize ahead of time for the price of this Christmas book. It was the only way I could get even half a dollar in royalties. It's longer than my other books, and I'm happy that it qualified for hardcover. But, yeah. It's not as cheap as the others.
