Maria, I can't wait to hear what you think! And I'll go poke around in Storehouse (because I too love cool software)! Hope life in Greece is grand. 🙂

So glad you've been playing with it, Laura! But I'm not happy that you're without power and freezing your California ass off. I hope your Kindle battery holds, darlin'....

Y'all will LOVE Sway, Kim. I can see your hubs using it for sales and you for your voice business. Hope your travels home were easy!!

Kathryn, thanks for trying it out so fast! You stumbled on something I hadn't caught up with yet: as of the 15th, it's immediately open to anyone with a Microsoft account. I just updated the post accordingly. 🙂

A new toy! I'm a tool-junkie, and you just fed my addiction! I'll definitely try this out! Only today, I discovered Storehouse, a free app where you compile pics, text and videos to make a story. I think that also has potential for authors. Please include me as well!

Greetings from Greece!
