I have a new post and a new resolution. So much has happened in the last two months, I have been remiss in reporting it to you.
Well here is a quick update and the latest news.
As for GreeHee Publishing, we are embarking on the audio book in two versions. One read by me, the author (I am working on acting skills to make sure you will enjoy the read) and the one I am really excited about - a full theatrical production by actors. Hopefully both will be available by late summer, or early Fall.
Trading card news, my artists are still hard at work getting these done, we now have an image of the malevolent Tana! I will post that soon.
We have gotten the TalesofTamoor.com website revamped, and created a variety of merchandise for GreeHee fans at Zazzle. On the board is optimizing the website so it will get traffic, and also creating a newsletter to go out every month to GreeHee's hundreds of fans.
Also under construction is the a variety of free games for GreeHee fans. Right now you can find two free downloads on TalesofTamoor under the Goodies Link, right side, click under Free Stuff for Puzzles & Games.
Potemkin and GreeHee have begun their second journey and Book Two is well underway, we are planning an early 2009 release. Keep your fingers crossed, lots of new characters and more intrigue.

I invite anyone who has ever considered authoring a book, ebook, paper-book or other digital format, to join NCPA and plan to attend our conference in April 2009 in Sacramento.

If you have any questions on metaphysics, astrology, spiritual laws, the art of manifestation, dreams, EFT, emotional freedom technique, publishing, authoring, or anything that you feel needs a new perspective, feel free to comment or email me. I will answer here.
Best always,
Michele
