my book is in print!

Dear friends, family and caregivers:

My book, "Dolphin's Dance" is now available on the PublishAmerica website. This is the link to their online bookstore: http://www.publishamerica.net/

Scroll to the bottom and use the search feature to find the book. You can search by by last name "Raker" or by the title of the book.

You will see that there are two versions of my book available; the first is a softcover edition for $25 and the second is a special "price edition" for $13. I have seen the softcover edition and it looks pretty good, good quality and ships within two weeks. But, 25 bucks is pretty expensive!

The cheaper price edition I have not seen yet, so I have no idea what the quality looks like (perhaps is printed on tissue paper?) And also it probably takes 4 to 6 weeks to ship. PublishAmerica charges 4 dollars for shipping for each book... They are definitely not a discount bookseller like Amazon. But, they give first-time authors like myself a chance to get published.

I do expect an official release of my book within the next few months, then it will be available for Kindle and also listed on Amazon (I hope).

If you do decide to purchase my book, thank you very much! If you like it please pass it on. It is not a children's book. The cover is deceiving... I apologize in advance for the grammar mistakes, long-winded paragraphs and abundance of adverbs. I also apologize to all my loved ones for the morbid first chapter, it's just the way that I felt at the time. Thank you all for your love and support! I promise to keep writing and get better at it as time goes on.
