Default OT - Publishing a children's book

Hi, everyone.

Leon said it would be OK for me to make this off-topic post to share some news. (Thanks, Leon.) I published a children's book called "Little & Big" that was released this past Tuesday. Maybe a few of you with kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces, etc. would be interested. You know, just in time for the holidays. It's a Bigfoot story set in my home state of West Virginia and intended for the middle grades. I'm going the indie publishing route through Amazon's Createspace and you can find the book on Amazon.com if you want to take a look. Search my full name "Robert L. Fouch." I've also built a web site, www.littleandbigbooks.com, and have a whole series in mind. I got a very positive review from Kirkus Reviews, one of the respected companies in the book industry. I'm pretty confident in the quality of the book and think kids will really enjoy it. And the illustrator I found is terrific.

The book actually has a small baseball card connection. There is a part where the main character (a boy nicknamed Little who has the ability to communicate with animals) is explaining to the Bigfoot how humans like to collect things and he mentions that he used to collect baseball cards. And Bigfoot, who Little calls Big, has made a habit of keeping human objects he's found over the centuries he's lived. A Bigfoot collector! So in truth, this post isn't actually off-topic at all.

Anyway, since I'm doing the book myself, I'm just trying to get the word out any way I can. So if you're interested, please check it out. And let me know what you think. Best regards.

Rob
