[FM Discuss] Please publish "Making Sugar Activities" and add a link to the "Read" page

[James Simmons]

Cara,

Thank you for your assistance.

The idea about having an authors page is not bad.  Unfortunately, so
far I'm the only author.  If it looks like more authors will join up
this could be a good idea.  I'm a little concerned that if I blow my
own horn too much in the book that will prevent other authors from
joining later.

I like the idea of this book being available on Lulu -- eventually.
The book isn't ready for that yet.  If you could point me to
information on creating a cover I would be interested.  If I just need
a cover image what would be the constraints on size, colors used, etc?
 What I'd like for the cover would be a photo, maybe posterized, of an
older child working on programming something.  I may have to pay a kid
to pose for it.

Thanks again.

James Simmons
