My book and work on the topic of identifying pedophiles and keeping kids safer was a feature article in the Flathead Beacon this week. The paper is a highly respected and widely read weekly paper owned by Connie Chung and Maury Povich. The journalist Molly Priddy provided an accurate and excellent overview of a difficult topic.

Welcome.
If you purchased a Kindle copy of Eyes of a Pedophile: Detecting Child Predators, you can now download the latest updated version at www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage The new version has a few changes. I am pleased with the efficiency of Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Let me know if you have trouble making the change.
Eyes of a Pedophile is now available from a number of sources including: This website, local bookstores including Bookworks in Whitefish at 244 Spookane Avenue and their new store in Kalispell at 38 – 1st Avenue East. The Bookshelf in Kalispell at 101 Main Street.
I have had numerous questions from readers regarding the definition and availability of Print-On-Demand (POD). To clarify, you don’t print it off a download to your personal computer, you purchase it at my website here: www.createspace.com/3817124 or at Amazon. Once you order it, the paperback book is printed and often mailed to you the same day. With the POD process there is no large volume printing cost. Books are published as orders come in.

For those of you who do not know Jane Friedman or follow her blog, you are missing out on some amazing information in the transition from paper to “e” in the writing world. She spoke at the Authors of the Flathead – Flathead River Writers Conference in 2011 and energized everyone. Since that time a number of attendees have published e-books, some of them reaching #1 status on Amazon Kindle. See our website for information and news about the conference October 6 and 7, 2012: www.authorsoftheflathead.org
Conference information will be updated at the AOF website. Attendance is limited at 100 and the past two years were sell-outs. I’ll post details here in the near future, too. Brochures are soon ready for distribution. We have a great list of speakers including: two New York agents, a lawyer, a successful male author who writes as a woman, number one Kindle author, marketing specialist and Mark Coker of Smashwords. The emphasis is on transitions in the publishing world: The Changing Market.
Re: Jane Friedman: http://janefriedman.com/2011/12/16/12-must-read-articles-from-2011/ I highly recommend Jane. She is a great speaker and a wizard in today’s market.
There is a webinar tomorrow March 29th that you might be interested in. I have registered along with a number of writer friends. http://selfpub.me/bookreviews101 This is a detailed review of how to promote yourself and your writing, including obtaining more reviews and improved visibility for your work.
A huge addition to writing and progress for me has been utilizing the latest edition of DragonNaturallySpeaking 11.5. I had DNS 9.0 and found it okay but tedious but this newest version of voice recognition software records your dictation to accurately typed text. If you are not the best typist, with minimal effort and a little training, this is an awesome addition to increasing your daily manuscript progress. I purchased mine from Amazon.

PRESENTATION SATURDAY MAY 12 AT 1:00 PM WHITEFISH LIBRARY
Please join me at the Whitefish Library from about 1:00-2:30 pm to learn about child predators. These men are usually people you know who gain your confidence and then molest your children.
This talk is based on the life of Nathanael Bar-Jonah a notorious violent pedophile who was finally arrested and imprisoned in Deer Lodge. By following his life of crime, you will learn common pedophile characteristics and how to report them.
These topics are difficult for most people to discuss, but there are few families who have not felt the violence of molester. Educate yourself so you can help others learn how to protect children and what to do if you suspect abuse.
There will be handouts and time to ask questions.
