This is the article reported on KAPP and KVEW TV about being a best selling author for Fictionwise in the Children's Division for two eBooks. These channels serve a population of over a million people in the Yakima and Tri-Cities area in Central Washington State. A Timid Christmas Tree was #1 for over a month and Return to Painter's Island moved up to #22 during this period of time. Just wanted my fans to know.


This was my spot on the news tonight at KAPP TV Channel 35 in Yakima, Washington.

Tieton author Gary Peterson's "E-book" is number one on Barnes & Noble best selling list

A Yakima area author's digital-only book is sitting atop a Barnes and Noble best selling list.
Gary Peterson's short story, "A Timid Christmas Tree," is number one for children's fiction. Peterson has a day job, but has been writing professionally for over a year now.
Another of his stories is number 32 on that same list, and while it can take years for a writer's' career to take off, he's surprised over his early success.
"I was absolutely floor-boarded. The reason why I don't follow the charts, because I didn't think my book would make it that high that quick."
Peterson has written three short stories and one traditionally-published novel, and is currently writing a second book. He says it could be years before he makes a decent amount of money from writing.
