Goat Games

Someone asked me about a copy of “Goat Games”. That made me think. I can send a pdf copy of this book to anyone interested in it this month.

Draft2Digital will allow me to issue coupons for free books. I think I can manage one for next month. Do I know how the site works? Not really. I’ll get my feet wet the next time I publish an eBook.

There is one problem with offering “Goat Games” for free. It is only as a PDF. And only available through me.

If you want a free pdf copy of Goat Games, contact me through the Contact Page which is working according to the page service.

I am not online at home, so it may take me a few days to get the copy to you.

“Goat Games” is a pencil puzzle book and more about goats. There are lots of different kinds of puzzles. Some are hard.

There are also interviews with goat owners of fifteen different breeds of goats along with breed pages about those breeds. Plus trivia. Plus general information pages.

Upcoming Events

Smashwords has changed to Drafts2Digital. My account has moved. All of my book pages on the site appear to be working normally. I will offer “Edwina” as a free download in May.

April Camp NaNo is almost over. I’m glad my goal is only 25,000 words as I am now totally rewriting my draft. And it will need another rewrite after doing an plot outline.

“Life’s Rules” is on hiatus, but not forgotten. There are too many distractions in the spring. Besides, I find I concentrate on one novel at a time.

Opal and Agate: Partners in Adventure is already getting rewrites. And I haven’t gotten past page ten. I’m learning a lot reviewing all of those picture books.

Chemistry now has the shelf and light. Now I need to get those experiments done.

There is so much to get done. It all takes time.

Cold Weather and Chicks

The chicks arrived just in time for the stormy, cool weather. They are not impressed. Their house section is wrapped in blankets.

The goats stayed in yesterday because of rain. They wanted out badly, but I looked at the clouds. Now the goats are glad they stayed in the barn.

There are lots of seedlings coming up in the garden. Radishes, carrots, mizuna, lettuce, snow peas and more are out in the downpour.

I think I will stay inside tomorrow and type. Maybe I will do some sketching. If I get bored, I have house cleaning to do.

There are two bottle babies and little milk. The other five bucklings guzzle it all. Milk replacer is expensive, but works.

My present books are “Gift From the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindberg and “Gold Rush Girl” by Avi. I just finished “Gunpowder Girls”. There are also more picture books, “Farm Animals: Goats” and “Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers’ Strike of 1909” this week.

You can keep up with my reading and reviews on Goodreads. As I finish each book, I take the time to write a review on Goodreads. Picture book reviews are on my Goodreads blog. It would be nice if those reading my books would do the same.

Finding My Picture Book Reviews

I really enjoy reading picture books. Often I just stop by and read one as I leave the library. If I tell Goodreads about a picture book, it adds it to my book challenge, messing that up and the average page count.

What I’m doing is putting the picture book reviews, usually two on Tuesday and two on Friday, on my Goodreads blog. You can find me on Goodreads under Karen GoatKeeper.

About GKP Books

I normally sell books through Amazon, Kindle and Smashwords as their sites are secure. Some books, and these are noted, are only available through me. Amazon and I have an ongoing dispute over listing “Asclepias” or any new books. Somehow I am not authorized to list anything new under my name? Some eBooks are too large or complicated for the other sites.

All of the links should be working. If you find one has decided to go on vacation, you can contact me through the now working Contact Page.

Thank you for Stopping By

Keep checking back as the topics on the two posts change every week, weather permitting. Impassable roads can delay things.

This is the face of a very spoiled buck kid. And he takes advantage of it.
