FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kimberly D. Goodyear Aims to Satisfy Independent Publishing Publicity with Print-on-Demand Availability of A TALE OF TAILS, at Lulu.com.

Cuyahoga Falls, OH - December 2006 – Kimberly D. Goodyear, local author, publishes the first book in her exciting new book series for children, entitled, "A TALE OF TAILS; where the tails begin," in conjunction with Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books!

A TALE OF TAILS is the first of nine books to come in her new book series for middle-grade children entitled, THE CAT TALES COLLECTION. A TALE OF TAILS is an engaging story about finding friendship, and overcoming some of life’s tribulations through the children of two families and their pets!

Kimberly D. Goodyear wrote A TALE OF TAILS to give children an insightful perspective on the twists and turns of life’s unexpected adventures, through its endearing cast of characters. Some story related matters touch on family, friendship, sibling rivalry, and the first crush, as Ms. Goodyear recognizes these to be some very powerful issues among adolescents everywhere.

A TALE OF TAILS is currently available for purchase at Lulu where she and many others like herself, have taken charge of their artistic futures, in the hopes of getting noticed by the media. She came to Lulu because she wanted to be in control of the publishing process, and found Lulu’s print-on-demand tools to be fast, easy, and most importantly, free.

"Independent publishing and print-on-demand soon became an obvious choice for me, after an endless slue of manuscript submissions proved to be heart wrenchingly fruitless. Writers need to get their work out there to be seen, as I was professionally advised by Ms. Stella Galatis, of Random House Publishing. After that, it’s just being in the right place at the right time – just as it would be if you’d held out for an agent, and even then you aren’t guaranteed to get published!" said Kim Goodyear. "The Lulu process allows me to cut out the middle man (i.e. a separate publisher) and get my work out there the way I want it. My book is much like Lulu itself - it puts the control of your destiny back into your own hands, and life is far too short to settle for anything less!" Ms. Goodyear is setting up funding for book donations to The Humane Society.
