It was easy!
My friends on Shewrites.com say I really need to learn to use Twitter.
I say one step at a time.
I uploaded my book, "Some Rivers End on the Day of the Dead" to Kindle this morning.
This means many buyers can have it in time for El Dia de los Muertos (Oct. 31, Nov. 1, Nov. 2). 48 hours from now. . . that's all it takes to hit the catalog (so Amazon says). whoohoo

My third anthology of poetry with meditations on the moments life gives us to learn a lesson, see a truth, enjoy the exquisite. There are a couple of angsty poems about American today. This is a hardback book, a small memory book.
| |  | | Some Rivers End on the Day of the Dead
Marisol faces the challenge to return home in time for her father's ceremonies on the Day of the Dead.
Fourteen-year old Marisol and her mother are on the run from their home in Tijuana, Mexico. Her father, investigating the drug wars as a journalist, has been murdered.
But Marisol’s new home is a riverbed camp in a rich California suburb. A wildfire separates Marisol from her mother and her school. Cut off and alone, she challenges herself to find a way to reunite with her family and to celebrate the Day of the Dead in Mexico to honor her father with the proper traditions.
Some Rivers End is a book that will keep readers laughing, worrying, and cheering for its Hispanic protagonist, Marisol de Lira Lima. Some Rivers End will appeal to a wide audience, boys and girls, ages twelve and up as well as to adults. It is the first of a planned trilogy (coming: a prequel, The Pinata Maker’s Daughter and a sequel, So You, Solimar).
Some Rivers End is "a terrific book, sweet, hopeful, and funny" with the last chapter "a joyful surprise" in the words of Eve Caram, novelist (Trio, 2010) and UCLA Extension Writers' Program teacher.

Suzann (Zoozle)Zimmerman and her mother might as well be from different planets, for they have no emotional connection. A close look at dysfunctional families and Borderline Personality Disorder, "Stairs of Sand," is a funny, fast-paced, realistic portrait of a perfectionist mother and a free-spirited daughter.
"Stairs of Sand" is out in paperback and Kindle. For other e-readers, check smashwords.com
Great reviews on Amazon. Check them out!
