After a long process of revising and editing, Book 1 of Jimmy Miller the Super Powerful is now available. It is the third revision. I'm still working on the Library of Congress Number for it, but I want to purchase my own ISBN for that purpose. I know it's not a requirement for the Library of Congress Number, but I'd like to secure one in the name of Etyouth Publishing. The third edition is a CreateSpace ISBN because the price was right. Once I can get enough funds, I will purchase an Etyouth owned ISBN.
Revising and editing had consumed my life. I had no time for anything. In order to make sure Book 1 would have continuity with Book 2, this was a necessary evil. So, I neglected a great deal. This blog, Twitter, and my author Facebook page. Plus, I was in a church musical, so my time just was elsewhere. My apologies to all of you who had no super powerful things to read with your coffee.
I've made some major revisions in some of the chapters in Book 1. Chapter 13 is now titled Taken as opposed to Kidnapped, so no one thinks I have a Robert Louis Stevenson complex. (And no, my coffee drinking habit is not turning me into Mr. Hyde!) Eventually, I'll post some of the big changes. My revision efforts reduced the length of the book by 12 pages and is now only 10.99, but usually Amazon offers deals. However, I did raise the price of the Kindle edition to 2.99. The extended Christmas price is now over. I may discontinue the Nook version, but there are still those out there who have those devices. However, until I do, I will raise the price to 2.99. I'm still working on the development of an ebook for iPad and the Apple crowd. Check out the links along the side panels of this blog.
Book 2, Jimmy Miller the Super Powerful: the Wo-Ha-Li is now my main focus in getting it finished, edited, revised, and tested. I hope to publish by the end of the summer. This is when I hope to purchase an ISBN for Book 1 and Book 2 and release both together. Well, I anticipate more blogging time. Bye for now.
Be good to yourselves!
I, the super powerful writer and author David Lichty, give you words of wisdom, human interest, advice and sometimes utter nonsense to brighten your day, so you can enjoy a super powerful life.

Super Powerful Greetings
Okay...I've been editing and revising, which if you are a writer, is a lengthy process. Another thing I've done is establish myself as my own publishing company. My plan is to begin purchasing my own ISBN numbers and place the publishing company name and location on the title pages. This will give me the freedom to find sources that can print hardback versions of my books. I am the exclusive publisher of my books...for now. Plus, I'll file for a Library of Congress number on both of them.

In other news:
- My wife and I bought a new car. A Ford Edge SE.
- My coffee addiction is going strong with no let up in sight
- Our house is getting our bathrooms a makeover. We hired a contractor because if I did it, it would be a thing of horror
- Not only had a battled a cold, but now my seasonal allergies. I always appreciate spring with the exception of the effects from the pollen in the air.
- I am revising book 1 of Jimmy Miller to be more in line with events in book 2. I know stuff that no one else knows. I can't believe all that's happened to my favorite fictional preteen duo. Also, I've reduced much of the wordiness and took out the split infinitives in the narration. I happen to completely enjoy split infinitives. But...no one consulted me when they devised the English Americanized language. Or is it Americanized English language.
- I'm hoping to get an Indiegogo or other crowdsourcing campaign to build my little publishing company.
Be good to yourselves!

Book 2 Announcement
All right...it's getting closer to completion. The second part to the Jimmy Miller the Super Powerful series is nearly finished.
Exciting...I can't believe what's happened to these characters. It's been a wild time. The story is about to become Evolved. I'm making a revision to the first book and will launch it at the same time book 2 is ready. Be good to yourselves.

New Quick Links
I have quick links for Crazy Adventures: Preteen Stories and Fantasies. They are now permanently fixed to the blog right above the links for Jimmy Miller the Super Powerful. Note, the price for the e-book, which is now only in Kindle format, is a mere 99-cents. Okay, that really means 1 dollar. The paperback version is more expensive because is uses actual resources from like trees and stuff. I posted the price as 10 dollars, but Amazon may sell for less. It would need to be shipped to you. It's linked to Amazon. I added a link to the paperback version of Jimmy Miller the Super Powerful. It's an Amazon link. Well, the paperback and Kindle version of Jimmy Miller are linked together on Amazon.
Of course, I am still selling a draft copy of Crazy Adventures on ebay for 99-cents, well, it's being auctioned at that price.

The Back Cover
And now...the back cover.
Here's what it says in the white space if you can't read it on the picture:
Find out what could happen in Crazy Adventures. In here are short stories, some longer than others that just might help you answer these serious “What if…?” questions. So, open up these pages and discover a giant snowball with a bad attitude, a ruby dragon, a shrunken man, and a cat that makes big news.
Here's what it says in the white space if you can't read it on the picture:
Did you ever wonder about “what if…?” What if I met a
Cyclops? What if someone had a crush on me? What if slug-people take me to play
on a crazy game show? What if I had a slumber party and a pet monster comes and
crashes it? What if my grandfather built a time machine and I went in and
messed with it?
