I've been keeping a secret for 9 whole months!
And now the wait is over.
Today, I am proud to announce

This is my first eBook (or any book for that matter) titled, Casey Chameleon. Charming and Delightful. These words best describe Casey, the main character. It's easy to read her, because she wears her heart on her sleeve...I mean, skin. Casey can turn all sorts of colors, depending on her emotions.
It's a concept picture book about feelings and color.
Interesting tidbit: The main causes of the skin-color change are the chameleon's emotional state. The surroundings are not a influencing factor.
And in case you're wondering, here are more interesting tidbits on how my ebook came to be:
- December 2011- Informed by Flying Books, Ltd. via Twitter regarding open submissions
- January 2012- Submitted ms to Flying Books
- February 2012- Signed contract
- March 2012- Introduced to my illustrator, Lydia F. Ferron
- October 8, 2012- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASEY CHAMELEON!
Of course, traditional publishing does not happen this quickly. The pregnancy on that could take several years. Right now, I'm feeling some stretch marks again and kicking too. Anyone got a pickle? And some peanut butter too?
Congratulations! A beautiful, bouncing, um, well, chameleon!

DeleteCongratulations! Is this publisher like MeeGenius and Utales in that a book purchase remains with them? I wasn't able to get a good connection with my phone earlier. Very excited for you and the story sounds like a good one for my toddler.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Stacy. I don't quite understand your question. I'm actually new to app purchases, but I think that what you are asking is if the app is not separate from their site? Like it goes on their bookshelf? If so, yes.
DeleteWow! That's super cool Romelle. Jealous!! And it looks like all that time you spent last winter learning Twitter, etc has really payed off. !!!
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration. :)
