Beneath the Bamboo now on Apple Itunes!
For those of you who have an Apple device, such as a Mac, an Ipad, Iphone, etc. or some other device that will allow you to purchase things through the Apple IStore, Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story is now available on that outlet for purchase as well as Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
However, please be aware that even though the file size is right and if it was literally able to be printed out it would be around 43,000 words, Apple has goofed and is *saying* the print length is only 1 page. Trust me, it's not. Apple just doesn't know how to properly interpret page amounts if the books are processed and distributed through my distributor, which is Lulu.
The file size is correctly listed on the Apple ITunes store at 1.4MB, which is what it was when it was squished into the Epub compressed format and sent. Anyway, the link to the Ebook for those of you who have the ITunes store installed is as follows:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bene...
Thanks for your support!

Ebooks now available in print!
Side note: (And shameless self plug..but hey, a guy has to eat, right?)
In addition to all of my Ebooks available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple, I am slowly but surely making my books available in print format as well via Createspace. So far these are the ones that are also available in print format for those who like the feel of actual books.

Goodreads - Need help from my readers!
I decided to explore Goodreads after having been a member for a long time but not really having much time to mess with many of its features. It's even more amazing than I thought, and it’s obviously a really good site and helps people who are looking for good books to find them.
As an independent author and publisher, I need all the help I can get! If any of you read any of my Ebooks or print versions of my books and liked them, one of the best ways to let others know about them is to get on Goodreads on their *lists* and click on vote.
If you wouldn’t mind helping me out, in a second I’ll tell you how to do it. Besides, Christmas was a little rough financially for me, and now I’m about to move which isn’t going to make things much better. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!
As a side note, again, my father and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support! Also, be sure to look out for future books by myself *and* by two additional authors that I will be publishing. The additional Ebooks will be coming from both my Dad as well as a young woman who is showing a lot of promise. Anyway, here’s the info if you want to help our cause. Thank you!
1. If you have a Goodreads account (Free), login in at
http://www.goodreads.com/
2. If you don’t, sign up.
3. Once you’re logged in click on the following link:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/user_v...
4. What you’ll see is a bunch of different *lists* that I included some of my books in. Whether you choose to just do one list or all, here’s how to vote.
A. Click on the list theme that’s underneath my book/books (Example for one of the lists: *Way Better than I thought they would be*)
B. Look in the upper right hand corner of the page. You should hopefully see some text that says “Vote on this List” or something similar. Click on that.
C. Above all of those books you should see some text that says “Add Books to this List.” Click on that.
D. Then you should have a way to type in/search for any book title you want to vote on for that list.
E. Search for one of my books! (Or one at a time if you plan to do more than one)
F. Click on Vote next to my book!
G. Aaaand...repeat if you plan to do more than one list.
I know, it sounds complicated, but it’s really not once you figure it out.
Overall, it’s a really good way for all of us starving authors to get some much needed help getting our hard work noticed. If things have a lot of votes, they’re more likely to be looked at. Strength in numbers, you know? :)
