Chapter 2 of Author Squared is finished and a lot has happened in the past year.
When I read Chapter 1 and I see what was planned and written nothing happened like I expected. Starting with only one new book being published this year and still making Short Descriptions of each of our books. I'm conflicted on the progress that's been made in this year.
I've started to notice in the last couple years people look at my books differently. It's not like walking up and saying, "Oh, that's cute, Good luck with this little project."
When they hear twenty two books there's this seeming stronger interest in our work, As we announce more coming releases and products the more people seem to take my business seriously.
So many things are happening and have happened and will be happening in this next chapter of Author Squared I wanted to show to you all.
We now after a year and a half have a working and functional Square Credit Card Reader© it took a long time to figure out why it wouldn't work but I'm very pleased to announce it's no longer a problem. Also in the realm of purchasing books Author Squared now takes orders personally right from our very own Bookstore. While orders are only available in Canada for the time being I'm hoping to expand to be available beyond just Canada in time. Also right now we only take credit cards but I hope in time we will expand to handle other exchanges like PayPal for better convenience.
What's a store without content? I'm happy to announce that we have a new title released last month with Reversed Life. A picture book about feeling backward and not fitting in. Check out the Quick Story for more. Also I am happy to announce our next release today! Story Stumped almost finished and will be at the printer in the coming weeks. Story Stumped's Quick Story will be published soon.
ALSO COMING SOON!
Missing Pieces will be release in the coming months.
That's not all!
Pascha has started making paintings with coffee frames. I have to say having these along with the paintings on canvas are really cool ways so expand what we really offer. These specialty paintings are not yet available in the Bookstore BUT Pascha's other acrylic pour cartoon paintings on canvas are now available.
It wasn't just framed paintings that we started this year. We also now have two coffee cups available for sale. One for Allergies Bite and another for Author Squared. If you were wondering I have authored these cups. I haven't pulled these sayings off the internet or anywhere else. I've come up with them myself and I hope you like these short sayings. As we continue there will be more variety some cleaver quips and maybe some deep comments to.
If you were wondering they are Dishwasher safe/ preferably hand wash though.
Microwave safe
Not oven safe Also not yet available in the Bookstore but personally by us and at book signings
Reading last year's Quick Story I see that of ten different books I wanted to release we accomplished 1 title. Here's the updated list.
Missing Pieces illustrations being adjusted
Reversed Life Published
Story Stumped Being formatted
Carnivore Cookbook Being edited
Under The Shield Cover being illustrated
Page Break currently being illustrated
Driftwood currently being illustrated
Under The Shield 2 being written
Off To Mom/Off To Dad) Currently being illustrated
Social Media
It goes without saying Allergies Bite has done well for itself for the last couple years while Author Squared has been a little perplexing. After having a profile for years I've started stepping up and figuring short form videos to make and share.
Unfortunately not long after I began taking my YouTube channel seriously I received an email. After having a channel for 13 years and most recent videos receiving barely a handful of views on my recent shorts they have cut more views to my channel for not having enough history and so I have to forfeit my drivers license or just make more videos that they won't supply viewers to. It seems though that I've shared enough content recently for them to overlook this restriction lately.
Both Allergies Bite and Author Squared are on TikTok with great difficulty as both profiles have been restricted and being treated like bots. (Apparently following 2 profiles in a single day is something only an inhuman profile would do.) With that Allergies Bite is also on Rumble and sharing our videos there too!
These last six months so much has happened it makes my head spin. It's hard to believe next week will mark six months since my Grandmother (Gisela Hansen a.k.a. Gisela Garlic passed away. I see all this progress and it does get me down knowing she's not around to show her all then new creations. She believed in us, in our books, and that we can make this business work. We're not going to stop, so expect more stories, illustrations, art, and so much more. It's just too bad she's no longer around to see what we are doing. But I'm relieved she is no longer suffering nor enduring such hardship and illness. I am thankful to Yehovah for the time He has put her in my life.
What will happen going into the second chapter of Author Squared? I have no idea. We have some ideas and plans but it's like how we didn't expect coffee cups and coffee frames who knows what this year will bring.
Thank you for your time.
Chance Hansen Keep Smiling
