Karen Ball With Encouraging Publishing News

I’ve heard through the grapevine that the moratorium on buying new work I posted about Monday doesn’t extend to children’s books. So that’s nice to know.

And then I read Karen Ball who guest blogged at Novel Journey Today. She told a story to get her point across.

Gotta love it. Stories rule!

Who Am I?

I'm Sally Apokedak. You
can read my bios at my
wannabe author site or
at my wannabe a better
person site.
What~Am I Doing Here?

I'm talking about writing
and reading kid's books.
I've loved them ever since
I was...well...a kid.
When Am I Doing All This?

I try to post something
Monday-Friday. But
sometimes it's hit and miss.
if you'd rather
hit, than miss.
Where Do I Get the Books?

I review books that I
have bought or borrowed
or begged. Sometimes I
beg them from authors
and publishers.
Why Do I Write Reviews?

No matter where I get
books, I always give my
honest opinion when I
write reviews. I am not
qualified to review books,
really. I'm just a reader
with strong opinions. I love
talking about what I read
and want to get others
excited about children's
books, too.
How Can You Help Me?

Many links on this blog
lead to Amazon.com. If you
like my reviews and you
click on a book title or
cover picture and then buy
the book (or anything else)
from Amazon, I will get a
small percentage of the
sale price. Feel free to do
that. It helps support my
book-buying habit.
