Happy First Day of Summer!

I hope everyone is enjoying a cool evening after a beautiful first day of summer.  Up here in the woods it was warm, but then a powerful wind picked up and blew a lot of the heat away, which made the day all that more pleasant.

Now that I am free from my day job, I am eager to dig into tons of summer projects ranging from sweeping the cobwebs off the house to getting Unicorn's Milk finished. Finishing my first two mosaic projects are on my agenda as well. I have started and been plucking away at my two simple pieces, but have not had the time to fully focus on the final touches. When they are done, I will share the first two mosaics I have ever done.

Enough for now. Enjoy your first summer's night.

Stubby, the Magic Pencil is almost done!

Life took over this summer, and I didn't get as much writing done as I had hoped, but my new book, Stubby, the Magic Pencil is almost available for purchase. The release date is looking like the first week of September.  I'm excited.

The cover artist that was chosen is new to the world of book covers.  Her name is Michelle Hays.  One of her art inspirations is Japanese animation. When you see the cover for Stubby, you will see this influence on her work.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Ah Summer! Writing time!

I am finally free to write full-time again. I love summer for that freedom.

Already my fingers are working away on a couple of projects. Before the end of this summer I shall have another book in print. This past week I connected with a young artist who has agreed to do the cover art for my manuscript Stubby, the Magic Pencil. The book is in the process of being polished and formatted for printing. This will be the release of my first children's chapter book.

In addition I am continuing to writer another mid grade chapter book about a dragon and edit one of the Conrad novels.

I have a busy summer planned.

Happy writing and playing everyone.
