I Finally Published My Limerick Book Scenes from a Quirky Life

Yesterday, I finally published my limerick book Scenes from a Quirky Life.

My next step is to get distribution for the book so it becomes available online on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online retailers.

I also have to order a proof copy of the book before I can approve the book for distribution.

Hopefully, there will not be anything in need of fixing and I will be good to go.

But if I do find something in need of fixing, I will have to republish the book and buy another proof copy before I will be able to approve the book.

Fingers crossed that will not happen!

Will Be Publishing My First Limerick Book

Thanks to my friend Regis Auffray who got me into limericks I will be publishing my first ever limerick book. The title will be Scenes from a Quirky Life. My book will have four limericks per page and will be around 50 pages. That makes for about 160 limericks. Not bad for a first limerick book in my opinion. 

I have less than 36 limericks left to write for the book and then it's on to proofing and editing. Once this book is published, which I am very excited about, I will have a total of twelve published books under my belt, in addition to the two poetry anthologies I published.

I don't know yet when I will publish this book but I hope to get it out this year.

Working on New Book of Poetry and Lyrics

I am working on my new book, which will have both poetry and lyrics in it. I already have some writings in it that have been previously written but never published in my previous books. And I am writing new material as well. Have already written three new poems.

Thanks to a friend of mine I also have a front cover image chosen for the book with a possible title of Frozen in Time.  I may end up changing my mind later when it comes to the title, and maybe even the front cover image, but at least things are moving along for me. I am not sure when I will actually publish the book. Would be nice to get it out there by the end of the year, but most likely it will be sometime in 2018. Once published, it will be my 11th book to-date.

Putting Together and Publishng Poetry Anthologies

There are poets out there who dream of being published in a book and among other poets like them. That is why I have decided to put together poetry anthologies (to be published through Lulu) that give poets the chance to be published in a book and to share their creations with the world, hence making their dreams come true. I do not charge any fees for poets to be in the anthology. And poets are not required to buy the book they are in; though I do not get why someone that is in an anthology, would not want to own a copy.

I have already published and released a poetry anthology called Voices of the World that features poets from around the world, showcasing poems on a variety of topics, and am now working on publishing a second poetry anthology called Whispers in the Wind. This one will actually have a theme, which is nature poetry, and will also have poets from different countries participating. I love nature and am excited for the book's release. 

My Ninth Book Is Out - An Unforgettable Journey

I published a new book. It's my ninth book to-date. Title of the book is An Unforgettable Journey. The book is a collection of poetry, lyrics, and prose on different topics. I was planning to publish this book by the end of last year but didn't because I wanted to write more material for it. In the end I chose not to write any new material for the book so published it in January 2015 after making some edits on already existing items and removing some from the manuscript altogether. The book is only 108 pages but it is still a great book and I am proud of it. Right now the book is only available at lulu.com but will be available on Amazon and online at Barnes and Noble soon.

Feelings Can Change...

Sometimes we love something and then time passes and we don't feel the same about that something anymore. Do we go ahead and change it? Or do we leave it as is?

I have published seven books, which was a lot of hard work and a lot of stress too. I am surely happy with my books and am very proud of them but now I wish I had done things a little differently and am wondering if I should make changes to my books and republish them... 

For one the back covers have no design on them. They are just plain one color background, which I was fine with before but am not anymore. Though the colors are bright it still makes for a plain back cover and I don't like that. Then some of my books have no author pic or have an author pic that isn't the best one. On top of that I wish the interior had some beautiful design in it. And I wish some book covers were different too...

So, now I am battling with myself. Do I go ahead and make all these changes? Or do I just simply let it go and leave everything as is? First, I tell myself to go through with it. Then I tell myself to forget about it. Then I tell myself to go through with it again... It's an ongoing battle. Back and forth between one and the other, unable to make that final decision. I wonder if this battle will ever come to an end because it is getting frustrating to say the least.

So, what should I do...? Any ideas???

My 7th Book, (A Crimson Tide) Is Finally Published!

A Crimson Tide, Lena Kovadlo

My 7th book A Crimson Tide is finally published. It is my second poetry book. Below is a description for this book:

Our lives are like the tide, forever flowing in different directions, taking on different paths and shades based on varying circumstances that come upon them. Our lives are a forever changing of colors just like the tide. 

As you dive into the pages of A Crimson Tide you will find yourself swimming through the various colors of our lives from nature’s beautiful palate, to red strokes of love and heartbreak, to the black veil that falls upon us when loved ones pass away from us, to darkening the pale where things become darker, deeper, philosophical, and psychological, where we battle with ourselves, and question our existence and our purpose in life.

This book is currently available at lulu.com. It will be available on amazon soon!
