Second, I'm back with another dog story in tow.. This one is entered in the Haiti fund raising contest. For each page written up to 35 pages, money is donated to the Haiti fund. CHEN AN YO PALE! is Haitian Creole for The Dogs Speak. This is a story about a boy and his dog caught in the rubble. The Chronicles of The K-9 Boys and Girls on Locus Street is a series that deals with serious subjects humorously and a portion of the proceeds from print copies of Mandy The Alpha Dog to be given to animal rescue.
Chen An Yo Pale! is somewhat more serious than the other stories in the series, echoing some dire consequences but with a positive message. This is dedicated to the Haitian Children and can be read at http://www.bookrix.com/-paulashene

If that is too much of a handful to type - go to the YouTube site and pull up Mandy the Alpha Dog.
The real girl is featured on there as well.
Cute story. It's like an adult /child book with current thoughts and a 'how to fix the situation' story.
I like : 'Will I get more bone for my money?'
Thanks to all who've already read! Please vote.

I would like to second this and more! The wealth and knowledge in marketing [something we authors need to know even if we don't think we do!]and promoting carries even beyond the scope of the publishing world. I have already implemented some of her tips and each day am going back to the well for another cup of wisdom.
I strongly urge you to utilize this free service - a case in point where you are getting much more for your 'money' and your time in education will not be wasted.
And last night I had gone to my website Paul and Paula's Plaza Inc and after checking some stock - Mandy is on there too at a lower price just in time for the holidays - I decided to check Mandy The Alpha Dog and to check my name Paula Shene in the google listings. I was astonished. There were 20 pages [200 entries]pertaining to me - out of those 20 pages approximately 7 were someone else. After page 20 there were sporadic mentions with my name. Exposure, exposure, exposure...from NY to NZ...wow
The second book in my Boadicea trilogy, Beauty's Curse, will be out November 1 - www.amazon.com - which means that I will be travelin' all over!
