I Love It

Mom, I Fired the Babysitter!

Mom, I Fired the Babysitter!

I LOVE IT

I had to experience self publishing through the rejection of my first book. Now I am onto my second book and I absolutely enjoy every aspect of self publishing which enabled me to understand the publishing world. I do not consider it hard work or work at all. I have full control of everything even working with a wonderful illustrator. My books are written about my two boys who have delighted and amused me with their antics and honesty. Mom, I Fired The Babysitter! is about my youngest son, Alex who did not like his babysitter and tried everything he can to fire her. I recently had a book signing and was amazed at how many books I was able to sell.

What a great title!
by: Steve B. (webmaster)

Colleen, I can't believe publishers rejected a book with such a great title! "Mom, I Fired the Babysitter" is one of the best I've ever heard.

I read so much these days about the important thing in children's books publishing/marketing being to capture the child's viewpoint, i.e. don't write for parents. It's clear to me you've captured it. With your gorgeous cover, it's impossible for me to imagine a kid NOT being drawn to your book. Nice job!
