Fatima's Story is now for sale!

*Mods: I didn't want to put this as an auction so it's not in BST — please feel free to move! smile *

Okay everyone - the moment has come. The beloved Saga of Fatima of the Gold-dust Feathers is now available as a book!

Full-color, full-page photographs of the hens and their adventures grace its pages, and ink illustrations are smattered throughout the book. This story is perfect for children of all ages (and adults who love chooks too!).
Each copy will be signed by the author (me).


Pricing
The book costs $25 each plus shipping. I know it's expensive — self-publishing has astronomical printing costs! The least expensive shipping is Media Mail ($3 or less in the US depending on your zip code) or choose Priority mail for faster shipping. {PM me for pricing on shipping.} It will cost less overall — for me AND — if the books are ordered in bulk, so I am going to wait to order until ten or so people want them.
Want it now? It will cost a little more — $27.50 plus your shipping. (Media Mail or Priority {which will cost more}, your choice.)


Paying
Transactions will be via Paypal - "personal" payments only, or you can send me a check (the book will be mailed when the check clears).


Ordering
Please PM me to order.

Re: Fatima's Story is now for sale!

can you summarize the book, let us read the back, or maybe tell us the lesson learned from it?


My dreams is to never have to go to the grocery store again but to raise, grow, and make my own food. Well, maybe for bananas.

The book is just a slightly edited version with illustrations of the stories HorseFeathers has been posting Here.

Thanks TM. That's exactly right.
I suppose the moral is to live life to its fullest. A chicken strategy, so to speak. smile
