Hi all,
In case you didn't get a chance to see my latest picture books, I've included one just for Father's and their children called Your Father's Love. It's available in print and ebook.
My latest addition; When I Build With Blocks, will be available in print next week! Very excited about this one, as all the children in my Pre-K class loved it. They are just the greatest block builders ever!
And if you're looking for something a little more thrilling, check out my brother William G. Aitken's latest collection of 6 stories that will thrill and chill you, titled; Eclection 6.
Here are our author pages:

Mother's Day is coming!
Hi all!
Happy soon to be Mother's Day. Just a small note to say hello and to invite you to check out my new picture book all about Mothers titled, Your Mother's Love and one for Fathers too - Your Father's Love.
For those of you who haven't seen my author page in awhile, it's growing all the time! Currently, I'm working on a new picture book specifically for children in the pre-k/kindergarten class room. I expect it to be ready in about 2 or 3 months. Also, I'm working on a Young Adult fantasy series, not sure of the publish date for that one. I'll keep you posted!
Here is my updated author page at Amazon:

You'll notice that most of my books are now offered in print too!
Have a great weekend!

The Beauty of Print
Hi all,
I just want to share that I now have three of my books, (picture books), available in print! I'm very excited about this. As much as I love publishing to the Kindle and other ereaders - holding a printed book in my hands is a great feeling!
My Novella Ginny's Sacrifice is going through the process of print also, and will most likely be available by next week. I'm waiting for the proof right now and if all goes well, it will be ready soon!
This is a great and fun time to be a writer and designer, with the ability to publish work in a short period of time, it's just amazing to me. I'm enjoying every minute of it! I'm currently working on a new picture book, and also a fantasy trilogy. That along with designing gifts, and my day job, I'm a busy girl. But loving every minute of it.
For those of you who are wondering how it's all paying off, I'll just say for now, it's nice to have a little extra income in combination with my day job. I'm pretty sure that the more I build up my library, the more it will increase. In any case, the joy is in the process for me.

Proud Indie Author/Publisher
Hello all! I'm sorry I've been away so long, I've been very busy working and writing and designing as usual, but I'd like to take a few minutes to share some exciting and fun stuff.
Last month Amazon introduced the KDP Owners' Lending Library into their program. Because of this, many Independent authors, like myself, have been able to take advantage of this. If enrolled, an author is able to promote their books for 5 free days, during the 90 day duration they are enrolled along with receiving royalties for any books that are borrowed through this program.
To make a long story short, this has been amazing for me and many other writers just starting out. Having a book be free for 5 days or a day at a time, or however you want to arrange the 5 days, is fabulous. Not only does it get our books out of the bottom of the pile, it can lead to some real sales in between the free days! Plus, as was in my case, I received some nice reviews for some of my work. I'm thrilled.
Not all authors feel the same way with this program, for various reasons. But for myself and anyone just starting out, I highly recommend it. As time goes on, I'll make the decision of whether or not to continue offering my books in the program or not. In the mean time, I have been building up my list of short stories, poems, children's books and novellas. Here is my author page: Niki Alling's Author Page
And to celebrate this new world of publishing, I have designed some gifts for the Proud Indie Author! It's a fabulous time to be a writer!
Have a great day!

For Dad... update
Back in June of 2011, I posted a poem I wrote in honor of my Dad after he passed away in 2004. I had posted a version of the poem, written in the present tense for Father's Day.
However, I have gotten some requests to offer the original version, written in the past tense, so that other people may also use it, in order to honor their own Dads, who have also passed away.
It is an honor to post the original poem that I wrote for my Dad and read at his funeral. I'm sure he would also be honored, if it could be helpful to others. Although I wrote it with my own Dad in mind, I believe it is general enough in content, for any loving Father.

You can find both versions of this poem- past and present in my online shops.
Thank You

ALSO:
I also have a children's picture book for Fathers and children, called - Your Father's Love and one for Mothers called - Your Mother's Love. You can find them on my sidebar and more books on my author page at
