First Look at Display Box!

 My wonderful neighbor/graphic artist, Ann Jenkins, just delivered a sample display box for Mommy, How Many Numbers Are There? We're so excited! They hold up to 10 books, have little Jack figures on the side and a springy 3-d Jack that pops out of the header. There will be a few modifications, but this is basically what they will look like. If you have a bookstore and would like wholesale information, just let us know.

We expect to have displays at the East Central College bookstore (Union, MO) and Thierbach Orchards (Marthasville, MO) in time for fall apple picking!

Thank you, Ann!

End of Semester... Update

This Math Instructor by day is wrapping up the semester. Finals are almost completely graded and grades are being calculated. If you ordered a book through the author, please hang tight as batches are being delivered slowly but surely. The remaining book orders will be sent out this week!

In the meantime, copies of Mommy, How Many Numbers Are There? can be purchased directly through Mira Digital Publishing (by the way, you can really cut your shipping cost by purchasing more than one copy).

We continue working on e-publishing. Soon, Mommy, How Many Numbers Are There? will be available to view on Ipads, Iphones and Kindle. It will be a fraction of the cost, too. As a matter of fact, the cost will be a fraction of Pi.

Inside The Book

A sneak peek inside of Mommy, How Many Numbers Are There?

Anne Mitchell did such a fantastic job with the illustrations and layout. We're working on adding some interactive "math" pages at the end of the second edition. Click on picture for larger image.

The question that started it all back in '08, on Hwy 47 along the MO River

Favorite among kids! How many snowmen do YOU see?

Another favorite. How many fish do YOU see?

THE book... Proof approved!

It's about numbers. It's about love.

It's like a dream come true for us! We received a proof of our book today; it was delivered Next Day. What quick, wonderful service! Thank you, Mira Publishing! The illustrator and I looked over the book thoroughly and we agreed it is ready to go to print. This means that there is a very good possibility that those hoping for an Easter delivery will get it. I will do my very best to track down the Easter Bunny so that s/he can fill the kiddos' baskets with this no-calorie, good-for-the-brain treat!

We haven't seen the article in the Missourian yet, but I will share that link when I see it.

In the meantime, for those of you who already ordered, I will let you know when the books are done. I will pick them up personally and deliver ASAP.

If you'd like to order a copy, please see link at top right of page. There will also be an option to purchase directly from Mira Digital Publishing (link available soon).

We are already working on our next book! We actually have a couple more in the works. One is about a little boy (hmmmmm.... I wonder what his name is?) who has a little trouble going to sleep... it's based on a true story. It's a story that I've been sharing with Jack, his classmates and other kids for a while. Stay tuned!

Sweet dreams and GO MATH!

Jack's Back! And he's taking orders for his first book!
