Published on Kindle

Last Christmas I received a Kindle as a present. I was so excited that I blogged about it. I have always been an avid reader. My father instilled the love of books and reading in me. Growing up, I lived in the city and walked everywhere. The neighborhood library was a few blocks from my house and across the street from my grade school. Every week, I found myself at the library, reading and taking out books. In the summer, I would check out at least 10 books on a weekly basis and I would read every one of them.

My house is filled with books. The books are everywhere – in bookcases in the kitchen, family room, living room, bedrooms, bathroom and of course in my computer room. When I am finished reading a book, I give it to a friend or family member to read. I keep, a number of my favorite books, or I sell them to the Half Priced Book Store.

I still have books that I have re-read, and others that I haven’t read yet. I do have a quirky theory that if I read every book in my house, then I would die. So, that is the reason why I still haven’t read every book.

As for Kindle, I never thought that I would own one. Then the more that I saw it being advertised, the more interested I became. One day, I mentioned to my oldest daughter that I was thinking about buying a Kindle. On Christmas Day, I opened my present from my daughter and her brother and there it was…a Kindle! The other kids bought me a lot of Amazon gift cards to use toward ordering books on my Kindle.

I love my Kindle and use it every day. I can store over around 1500 books on my KIndle. It has to be re-charged once a month. My Kindle can be used with or without Wi-Fi and I can read it even in the sun.

This past week, after working on writing my own novel for the past two years, I published it on Amazon and in the Kindle form. A friend helped me with the cover. My daughter used her photo shop program to get the cover ready to publish. Then my daughter formatted my work to Amazon. After receiving my book, a committee http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifchecked it to make sure that it contained no pornography. Finally, it was accepted and put up on Amazon, in the Kindle form.

Yes, I love my Kindle and I am proud of the fact that I have written and published my first Novel. The book is called The Doctors’ Wives by Mary Aiello Gauntner. I can’t believe that I have a book on Kindle with all those other famous authors.

My dream as a published author has become a reality, thanks to Kindle!
