Progress Update

If you have navigated through the whole dang web to get here, thank you for visiting!  

Heather and I are so excited to have the physical copies of Isabella, Cat in the City: A Visit to the Sculpture Garden, tentatively scheduled to arrive in early December - maybe even earlier!!  It's been a fun ride getting to this point, and I thought I would document our progress on other fronts, too. 

I recently discovered that our previous website, pennywickpress dot com was swooped from under our noses when I missed the emails about updating my payment information.  I was so sad about it for a few minutes - after all, it had been my first website and I had worked hard to get it looking beautiful.  The positive is that I decided to have a website dedicated to Isabella, her books, her story, and her merch.  I also created a second website, sheilapathmcmahon.com, for myself and my solo projects.  

Getting the website going has been a learning experience, for sure.  As you can see by the huge banner across the bottom, I'm using Weebly now.  I like it for the fact that it's got an easy-to-use mobile app - I don't think that the other website builder I was using had that. It's great to be able to update the site from my phone.  

I figured out how to sell items through the website, and I'm hoping we get an order soon so that we can see how it all works.  I know there are ways to have Am*zon or someone do merchandise fulfillment, but for us it doesn't make sense to have our books at a warehouse to ship out when Heather has plenty of room & she's willing to package and send out any orders that we get. 

As I write this, I do wonder what questions anyone might have about our small business.  Please let me know, and I will answer questions in future blog posts!  

Thank you for reading!  Keep reading, and if you're a writer keep writing!
