In an attempt to publicize the progression of my growing self-publishing company, I have created this blog. My hope is to allow others who may have the desire to try their hand at the process, to gather some information from my experiences. Almost everyone I talk to has a children's book they want to get published, what are you waiting for?

Second printing of "Lucky!"
I know you can't tell from the photos, but the book is a much better quality that the print on demand books from Lulu. And they are ONLY available from my website or from the author Adam London when you see his show on the strip, or special event. To follow Adam you can start from his website: http://www.quackmagic.com
I am very impressed with the sturdiness of the new cover, and the thickness of the interior pages. We've dropped the price to $7.95 (+$2.50 shipping) and added an update to the publication page. This is the first book I did and I still love it! If you don't have a copy yet, what are you waiting for? It's so cheap! Get it here:

Lucky update
I have a few new images and even a video from the printer showing Lucky's progress. It is supposed to be shipped via DHL today. I'll let you know when I have a more firm date. In the meantime, enjoy these previews! It looks really good!
The new and improved "Lucky the Rubber Ducky"! |
The video from the printer. Kind of cool!

It's HERE!!!
Hot off the press! |
Available now at B&N, Amazon and direct from the publisher's website (www.athertoncustoms.com). List price from online retailers is $17.95, the publisher (me) offers it at significant discount, and can be signed/dedicated on request.
I give my very biased opinion that it is truly a masterpiece. The story is out of this world and and a much needed update to the world of children visiting the dentist for the first time. I have to give credit to Wendy Briggs without whom this book would NOT have been possible. Everyone I have met with has been very excited to hear about the book, for various reasons. I continue to be excited for the future success I know it will achieve.
I am in the process of filling the Amazon pre-orders and B&N will be requesting a copy soon as well. If you're reading this and can't wait to get a copy for yourself or child you know or have, don't wait! You can probably get it in time for Christmas!
On another note, I have been working with my printer to get a reprint of Lucky the Rubber Ducky done at a much lower price so we can pass along that savings to the public. The new price will be $7.95 instead of $15.00. A new edition will be available in a few weeks. I'll keep you posted when it becomes available.
Great day, many more to come! Thanks for your support.
