Off to the printers!
Hello everyone!
First of all, thank you for your continued patience as I navigate these publishing waters! You may have sensed by now that my original goal of getting the books to you by the end of August is not to be. But with the help of a few good friends — not the least of which is Jennifer Strange's editing expertise! — I believe the book you will be getting in your hands by the end of October (God willing) is the absolute best it can be. To tide you over until then, below is a sneak preview of the back cover!
The final version is off to the printer in China and they should be getting back to me with final confirmation by the end of the day! So exciting!!
In addition, I have been working on a new website for the books and putting together a few small extra goodies for all of you. The ebook version and the sequels are also never far from my mind, but there are only so many hours in the day!
Thank you all so much! I have a really good feeling about this venture and I'll never forget how you guys helped make it happen!

Wow. OK, you can have the ORIGINAL storyboard that I created when I first thought of this book. It's not fancy, but imagine how much Margaret Wise Brown's notes for Goodnight Moon would be worth today? Plus all the above swag.

Not impressed with the storyboard? OK, name your reward. Want me to write, design and print a simple board book about your family? Done. Want me to show you start to finish how I created my masterpiece? Sure. Want me to teach my kids that your name is actually the word for a common household item? Why not. Want me to be your slave for a day? Well... umm... probably not. But let's talk!
