As custom home builders, we have been in the first wave of the economic crash. This is our story... told through the aroma of Chicken Lore learned from our adventures with www.TheFeatheredEgg.com, and spiced with real information about life falling over the economic hairy edge. The posts appear newest first - click on February to start from the beginning - and are a combination of Whassup Now and Whassup 1 Year Ago.....</p>Corinne Tippetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02806138998271099969noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698470625529698421.post-40095141330572439132018-02-10T13:39:00.002-08:002018-02-10T13:39:57.875-08:00New things for a New Year 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not all free things are great things. Like free roosters, for example. But we have a great new thing for the New Year - and that's free shipping, inside for our feather inventory on our updated website at www.NaturalFeathers.com and www.TheFeatheredEgg.com.<br />
<br />
New inventory is up, and mixed feathers are always available - and while we no longer ship internationally because of export laws, we are happy to offer this new policy inside the USA.Corinne Tippetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02806138998271099969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698470625529698421.post-3118775606390628572016-01-01T02:05:00.002-08:002016-01-01T02:05:55.655-08:00Happy New Year 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To successfully self publish a book, an author has to find ways of marketing a self-published book online. Social media marketing seemed like the most accessible and effective book marketing for self-published authors, so social media marketing education came to the top of my To Do list in 2015.</div>

Did you see that great book cover riding by on the recent <a href="http://bikeportland.org/2013/06/09/slow-start-soaring-payoff-first-take-on-wnbr-2013-88130"><span class="s1">Portland Bike Ride</span></a> on June 8th, 2013?</div>

Andrew was wearing the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/kindle/dp/B00B92ZOE0/ref=rdr_kindle_ext_eos_detail" target="_blank">book cover</a>, and - at the request of Portland Police - a helmet and shoes... and not much else.</div>

<br />
I'm delighted to announce that my long-in-the-making aviation pioneering biography of Colonel C. J. Tippett is now available on Amazon.com!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/When-One-Else-Would-Fly/dp/0984361111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369006344&sr=8-1&keywords=when+no+one+else+would+fly" target="_blank">"When No One Else Would Fly"</a> is a riveting story of a man's life during the Great Depression, WWII, and throughout a time of aviation history that continues to fascinate us.<br />
<br />
The biography is in Tip's own words, wrapped in vivid historical research.<br />
<br />
It's a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/When-One-Else-Would-Fly/dp/0984361111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369006344&sr=8-1&keywords=when+no+one+else+would+fly" target="_blank">great read</a> - complete with black marlin fishing stories!<br />

<br />
I'm starting to dig e-books, but last night my battery died and I really was bent out of shape. I love real books. I love the paper and the covers and their presence. I love librarys and bookstores and stacks and stacks of books.<br />
<br />
I do love the e-reader devices. They are so swish and cool. I am amazed that I can change the font, size, margins, background color, and screen brightness. But I need to remember to plug in my darn book. It's a new world and it doesn't work well when I misplace my charger.<br />

I started blogging at The Free Rooster on February 16th, 2009 and now it is time to bring these roosters some different freedoms for 2013.<br />
<br />
I'm in the process of pulling these roosterliscious posts into a blook (<a href="http://wp.me/p1waUB-rz" target="_blank">a blog that becomes a book</a>) to preserve all the handy information inside - as well as the stunning and compelling photos.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to presenting new projects at <b>www.TheFreeRooster.com</b> and taking my writing, website-ing, egg and feather business, and marketing projects to new heights.<br />
<br />
Come follow me at <a href="http://www.thewestchesterpress.com/">www.TheWestchesterPress.com</a>, where I am blogging about How To Self Publish A Book<br />
and<br />
Just A Couple Of Chickens<br />

When No-One Else Would Fly (the biography of Col. C. J. Tippett)<br />
<br />
and to <a href="http://www.thefeatheredegg.com/">www.TheFeatheredEgg.com</a>, where I am blogging about egg art and what to do with blown eggshells for crafts<br />
<br />
and to <a href="http://www.naturalfeathers.com/">www.NaturalFeathers.com</a>, where I am blogging about feathers and feather art, the feathers of www.TheFeatheredEgg.com.<br />
