🎁 What if your holiday gift this year was a children’s book YOU created? Imagine a child in your life unwrapping a story made just for them—a book inspired by their interests, big dreams, or an adventure you’d love to share. ❤️ Join me for my Children’s Book Masterclass on November 5 at 12:00 PM Central Time, where I’ll show you how to create and self-publish your own children’s book. And your story can reach beyond that first gift! By publishing it on Amazon, you can make it available for other families to purchase and enjoy. Distant grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends can order their own copies, too—wherever they’re celebrating the holidays. Whether you want to create a meaningful keepsake or publish a story that inspires other children, this is a great place to start. 📚✨ 👉 Save your spot: https://kristabrea.com/childrens-book-masterclass Who would you love to create a book for?

This is something that I kind of thought about because everything is connected, but never really thought it would happen but here we are. I received an email from Amazon saying that I have successfully changed my password and phone number. Of course I immediately went there and yeah, I was successful because I could not get in to my account. I called them several times got passed around several times and then finally was told that someone would contact me in 24 hours. I don’t think the 24 hours is completely up yet but that definitely is not a good business model for the types of things that have can be stolen hijack, I don’t know the word to say, but I’m in a real pickle right now so I thought I’d tell you guys. You could be aware. And to top it off, I just received the email from them saying that I was going to receive my first royalty payment and I can’t even enjoy the fact that I’m supposed to receive one because I can’t get into the account to see. But anyway, I’ve been up all night and it’s almost 8 AM and I can barely hold my eyes open so hope you guys have a wonderful day and try to secure your accounts.. I will definitely let you know the outcome.

Quill (my AI partner) and I would like to try something special for Thanksgiving. Over time, this community has accumulated quite a cast of animals, mascots, characters, and assorted personalities. And Thanksgiving provides the one thing guaranteed to bring them all together: **Food.** This seems unlikely to end quietly. 😂 So we are going to write a **KDP Publishing Community Thanksgiving Crossover Story** featuring characters volunteered by members of this community. But there’s a twist: ### **The cast will remain SECRET until the final story is revealed.** If you have an animal, mascot, fictional character, or avatar you would like to volunteer, **DM me privately**. Please send: ⦁ Who you are volunteering ⦁ A sentence or two about their personality ⦁ Any useful quirks, habits, talents, weaknesses, or known food-related offenses ⦁ Permission for Quill and me to use them in the story ⦁ At least one image ⦁ And, if you wish, a plot idea, Thanksgiving complication, or bit of mischief you’d love us to consider Please **don’t announce your volunteer in the comments.** The secrecy is part of the fun. 🤫 Once we have our cast, Quill and I will lock the kitchen doors, count the pies, review the suspect list, disregard several sensible warnings, and write the adventure. Then we’ll reveal the story — and everyone who wandered into it — here as our Thanksgiving gift to the community. No charge. No promotion. No strings. Just storytelling, community fun, and a collection of characters who probably should not have been left alone near the dessert table. And if everyone enjoys the experiment… 🎄 **perhaps we’ll bring the cast back for a Christmas encore.** **DM me if someone from your world wants to play.**
