Most of you are familiar with…Mother’s Day…Father’s Day…President’s Day…and…even…Grandparent’s Day…but…you may not have heard of…the holiday that…Bertha…and I are celebrating today…
Master Koda Day…
I know…it sounds a little strange…so let me explain…Master Koda…is the name given to my dear friend…Kim Emerson…
See…Kim is a marketing guru…and at some point…back in the day…someone…coined that name to describe how effective she was…Master Koda…Master Yoda…and…it just stuck…now it is the name of her Author Promotion Services and publishing company…Master Koda Select Publishing…as well as a Facebook group she started to support authors…
And…if all that wasn’t enough…she works fulltime…and…is herself a published author…having released her first book…Digitus 233…in December 2012…
But…more than all of that…she is…a true friend…to many…including me…and…she’s not just a friend in name only…no…Kim…is always helping someone do something…especially promoting their books…even if she doesn’t then have time to do her own stuff…she is most definitely…a selfless giver…
So…today…while Kim is busy helping everyone else…I’d like to tell you just a bit about…Digitus 233…it’s one of those young adult books…that appeals to us older readers as well…it’s action packed…and carries a message…of the subtleties of mind control in our society…
I read it and loved it…but…knowing I could be prejudiced since I adore Kim…I gave a copy to our school Kindle…and asked a high school football player to read it…he came to me two days later…asking for the sequel…and was quite disappointed when I had to tell him…it wasn’t ready yet…
Then his friend came in…he’d passed it along to him…another football player…who…was also in line for the sequel…
So…I knew…it is just as good as I thought it was…but…the coolest part of that story is that they emailed her…telling her how much they enjoyed it and that they were eager for her next book…
In Kim’s eyes…that email…was a precious gift…and…I was so happy that I could give it to her…because…she has been instrumental in my writing career in so many ways…
So…Happy Master Koda Day…hope you’ll check out…Digitus 233…while you’re celebrating…

Awesome blog, Jane!
Thanks, DeEtte…it was an easy topic. 😉
I am deeply touched by this blog Jane. I know we usually joke and play, but at this moment I have no joke only tears of gratitude. I love you dear friend. Thank you for the positive energy you bring to my life.
Kim (Koda)
No jokes needed today…I am so grateful for you and to you…for all the encouragement you have given me…I probably wouldn’t be editing Bertha’s sequel at this moment if not for your encouragement. (((HUGS)))
