My Christmas song launched in december

Part of my resolution is simply to blog more, of course, and this post starts that ball rolling easily enough. But there’s more than that — I need to exploit this blog a little more to promote some of my projects. I always feel a little self-conscious about promoting my projects but I’ve got enough interesting items going on right now that I want to start getting information out there.

I am currently working a contract with a Prominent Internet Retailer but I don’t think I can say much about that. Too bad, because the project was pretty ground-breaking in nature. I think I will ask around and see what I can reasonably discuss, but that’s for a future post.

Probably the most colorful item I’ve managed to accomplish recently is my Christmas song. In November, Applce made a version of their Garage Band for iPad for the iPhone and iPod touch. I was very excited by this news, because all the reviews I read had me convinced the app would be useful to me.

I’ll write more details in a future post but, suffice it to say, I love this app. Just while I was learning how to use the app, I was easily able to create a little demo of a Christmas song I had written during the holiday season, the year before. Thus, Made It Through Christmas Again was born. I used digital distributor CD Baby and the title went on sale at Amazon, iTunes and the like just before the holiday. All my profits are going to the Make A Wish Foundation.

I’m writing a couple of e-books and editing another. Also, possibly programming a couple of iPhone apps.

These are long term projects, so this is just an overview. There’ll be updates in the near future.
