The Great War 

2014 will be the 100th anniversary of the war to end all wars - The Great War - World War 1.  The carnage that occurred as warfare models of the 19th century clashed with the onrush of technology and industrialization resulted in an unprecedented bloodbath.  The system of alliances that had governed political affairs was exposed as deadly in the new world of rapid communications and industrial warfare.

There will be opportunities to participate in anniversary events all over the world, and particularly in France, the Netherlands, and Belgium where the western front stagnated; and Poland, the scene of the bloodiest fighting in the east.  Keep an eye on this blog and I will keep you informed of events as I discover them.





Day-Day - 70 years old

The greatest amphibious assault in history will observe its 70th anniversary.  Events will be planned all over France, especially focused on the coast of Normandy.  The Juno Letters staff will be on hand in Courseulles-sur-Mer (Juno Beach) where the Canadians came ashore for a book signing and other activities - still in the works.  We will also be visiting the other beaches, and especially Omaha Beach where so many of our countrymen gave their lives for each of us.

If you want to join us in France, email me at larryh@hewittmbm.com.  Or keep an eye on this blog for more information.

Distribution in print - lessons learned

One thing I have learned in the past month is that the art of self-publishing is complicated.  You HAVE to pay very close attention to details.  Learn the craft - it will save you time and money.  I realized that I missed an opportunity to move my print books into general distribution by the options I selected the first time around.  So I had my cover redesigned slightly, reformatted the pages to a general distribution size, and posted the new version.  I have paid a premium for an expanded distribution.  It all went smoothly, but I could have done this the first time and saved one of my ISBNs.

I have checked - I am on Barnes and Noble and Sony, as promised, plus a host of smaller retailers.  Of course, Google, Amazon, and iTunes.  

Now, on to the sequel!

The Juno Letter is now available in paperback!  For those of you who long for the touch and smell of a REAL book, this is the ticket!  Go to the link at Hewittmbm.com.

I must admit, it looks real cool on my bookshelf!

Enjoy,

Larry
