Reviews are EXTREMELY important and helpful for a book to be successful. If you're looking to leave a review, firstly - THANK YOU!

You can leave a review on GoodReads - you'll need an account, but it's free and easy to create. You can email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com to provide a review that I can add onto the website.

Q: Do You Ship Internationally?

Q: What is the Recommended Age Group for Meet Faith?

Meet Faith was written for ages 0-5 years of age. However, I wrote and designed the book with all ages in mind. The reading level is simple, but the illustrations and messaging is targeted to all ages. If you have an older kid who just really loves dogs or animals or if you are an adult who loves dogs and want a simple coffee table book, Meet Faith is a great option. BILINGUAL VERSION: The English/Spanish version is now available on Amazon and is recommended for ages 0-12, if learning English or Spanish as a second language.

Q: Is Self-Publishing Difficult?

Yes, although don't let that scare you off if you are considering this route. If you have written a book, or are considering doing so, research your options. There are pros and cons to all of them, but if you really want to get a book out there, you can make it happen. I had zero idea about self-publishing until I started Meet Faith. I did lots of online research and also spoke to another author. After much debate, I decided this path was the best for me. And nowadays, with options like Amazon KDP , it really does make the process a lot easier.

Q: How Did You Create the Art for Meet Faith?

I utilized photos (many taken by Dan Tydeman and the rest were my own) and I put them on my iPad where I drew over them in Fresco. I used a colored pencil style with layers, upon layers to create very detailed drawings. It's a time consuming process, but I do really enjoy it! If you're curious to learn more, read my blog post about How I Illustrated Meet Faith .

Yes! If you have a bookstore, pet store, kids store or any other shop where you think customers would be interested in Meet Faith, I would love to get you some books at wholesale costs. Please email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com so we can connect.

Q: Why Did My Book(s) Ship Separately from My Other Items?

If you select Media Mail for shipping, the package is required to only have books in there. Nothing else, aside from packaging, is allowed. So if you order other items, the may arrive a little ahead or a little behind your book(s).

Q: Why Does My Book Have Ink Blotches or Streaks?

If you notice any sort of ink drops, blotches or discoloring in any area, please email me at Tracy@SpotsOfJoy.com , and I'd be happy to correct this. The printer had some sort of malfunction causing some books to have distorted printer ink. The mistake wasn't noticed in the first few dozen orders, so it's possible your book slipped through the cracks.
