We haven't posted for a while, so this is just an update of all the crazy things that have happened the last couple months. We're going to be posting regularly from now on, so stay tuned!
I guess we'll start in July, when Ignition was published. We were so incredibly happy to receive the email, telling us that a company wanted to publish our book. OUR BOOK! The news so exciting we almost didn't know what to do with ourselves; but we got right to work on resizing the cover and making all of our final revisions to Ignition. We even got several different original proofs of the book! Soon enough, our dream had become a reality. After Ignition was officially published, we were able to get it onto Amazon to order as a paperback and then later, onto Amazon Kindle. The process was a little bit longer than we expected, but it's on Amazon now, which means pretty much anyone in the world can order it, and that is really cool. The Amazon printers ended up not being very good quality, so we switched to someone else temporarily. Then, with a lot of emailing back and forth, we finally switched to what we hope is our long term printing company, which is good because they have better quality printing and binding. If we decide to switch again though, it won't be for a while because we already printed a lot of books, so we have our supplier set for now!
Speaking of printed books, Ignition is in stores! Some local places near Andrew are currently carrying Ignition. These places include:
P.J. Boox - Fort Myers, FL
Sandman Book Company - Punta Gorda, FL
Sunflower Discount Market - North Fort Myers, FL
Donna's Book Stop - Cape Coral, FL
Cool Comics and Games - Cape Coral, FL
Wild About Popcorn - Cape Coral, FL
There's one more thing we have to say while we're on the subject of where you can buy Ignition. The book is available for purchase on Audible! For those of us who would rather listen to a book, or don't have time to read, check out the audio book version. Put it on in your car while you drive, listen to it while you're at the gym or even when you're out running errands! We've heard great things about this little novel of ours so far, so we can tell you that it should be an enjoyable read... or an enjoyable listen. The full title is as follows - Ignition, Luminescent Calling Book 1 - By: Andrew Smith and Brooke Estrada. Narrated by John Thompson.
This short re-cap makes everything sound like a short process, but it's been a roller coaster that's lasted several months to get where we are now and we know we aren't finished just yet, but we are both extremely grateful to be out in the world for people to read, hear, and enjoy. If you've already bought Ignition, thank you so much! If you haven't, you know where to find it! It would mean so much to us if anyone who reads this post tells their friends, family members and kids about Ignition. We love our readers and we love hearing your feedback. Pictures of the finished cover are below if you want to search for Ignition on Amazon or Audible.Thank you again for your support!! Don't forget to follow through with your plans and let your voice be heard. It might be hard, but it's worth it.
Sincerely
- The Authors
