New way to purchase!

Teresa Traver/Anne Rollins

Greetings, kidlit fans! I’m experimenting with IngramSpark’s “Share and Sell” program. Buying through these links may or may not save you money, but it means cutting out “middlemen” like Amazon.

This direct sell method only works for the editions that are published with IngramSpark. That includes the paperback of Sprinkles to the Rescue and the hardcover of Spooky and the Gargoyle. Both of these picture books remain available in digital form on Kindle Unlimited.

Cover of a small booklet labeled "A is for Anthony: An alphabet of Saints and Animals." Dover depicts a cartoon version of a Franciscan friar sitting on a dock, talking to fish in a lake.

If you want to buy A is for Anthony directly from me, you’ll find it on ebay.

Curious about what I’m working on? Most of my writing attention is focused on romance novels at the moment, but I do have some kidlit ideas percolating. Hopefully I’ll be able to share more soon!

A IS FOR ANTHONY: Now on ebay

Teresa Traver/Anne Rollins

This adorable little picture book has been difficult to find in the wild, unless you want to buy it in bulk. That’s great if you want to distibute it to religious ed classes, but not so great if all you want is a single copy to share with a child.

I’m happy to report that it’s now available on ebay! And if you’ve read it and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads!

Coming soon: SPRINKLES TO THE RESCUE

Teresa Traver/Anne Rollins

Small presses can be great, providing opportunities for emerging authors to publish their work. Some small picture book presses, for instance, concentrate on the “quiet” stories that might be overlooked by the Big Five publishers.

But one of the dangers of new small presses is that they don’t necessarily last. Twice now, I’ve had a picture book picked up by a brand-new press, only to have the press fold before my book could be published. Worse, I’ve known other writers whose books were published just days before their press folded, leaving them with a book they could not reasonably sell (because it had been published) but which was no longer available. OUCH! Writer Beware could tell you many stories like this.

All of which is to say, I was disappointed when Hurn Publications shut down last year before my book, Sprinkles to the Rescue, could be published. But I didn’t want to give up, so, I kept working on the project, and I’m pleased to announce that I’m going to be self-publishing it very soon. Keep an eye out for more information!
