Bridge of Skills is Now on Kindle

Time to take a deep breath.  I did it. I stopped  It was crazy, but I took the chance and decided to publish one of my self-help manuscripts as a book.  So after writing, rewriting, editing, reediting, convincing myself to not stress over whether anyone other than a few friends would even read it, formatting it to a book size page, purchasing ISBN numbers and writing a description and author bio I decided I needed to take the leap of faith.
 I know this first book is well written, and everyone I have ever shared it with in the past has found something of value and begged me to print them a copy to keep. I lost count of the people who have taken a copy of this home to share with a friend or neighbor.  I have even created my own comb-bound books just to see what it might be like.  Yet I have never sent it to a publisher or agent.  Why?  Fear of rejection by an "educated" expert.  Well, I have had the opportunity to reflect of a number of experiences lately, and realized, I have spent far too many years pretending to not know as much as the "educated" experts that I have worked with over the years.  I have also been inspired by my youngest sister to reach for our dreams and use our talents and experiences to touch the lives of others.
So after spending almost two years looking at different self-publishing companies,(Friesen, Outskirts, AuthorHouse, Lulu, BookLocker, among a few)  I finally decided to take a chance with Amazon.   So for several days I formatted, created, described, uploaded, priced, proofed, submitted and approved at CreateSpace to create a book for sale through Amazon.com.  Then I did it all again to add the choice as a Kindle e-book.
Tonight the e-book showed up in the Kindle store.  The print book takes a few more days before it is available, but I am still so excited tonight I can hardly sit still.  I showed it to two of my children this evening and to one of my grandchildren, who were all excited for me.  Now I want to get the next three books completed as soon as possible.  Anyone have ideas for a good cover picture that has to do with parenting?  I think that is the next one that is ready to go.  Wish me luck.
