Man it is hard to get around to posting things online. It seems like the weeks are just flying by because we've been so busy! Not much new happening...just trying to finish up the semester. My kids are tired of being in the house and keep talking about planting a garden. There is only one problem with that...well, two really. One , the weather never seems to get better, and two, everything that I've ever planted shrivels and dies.
So, a few months ago I wrote a Children's book just for fun. It was just going to be for my kids, but I submitted it to a publisher...just to see what happened...and they took it. So, my first book "Skyler the Pirate" is going to be coming "Out" sometime this month. I even illustrated it myself....which is what really makes it LAUGHABLE. But, it is what it is, and I don't claim to be an artist. Here is a picture of the cover that my publisher came up with. I tried to tell them that this cover did not really go with the book, because it is a little kid's book, and I didn't feel like it would capture the audience that this book should attract, but according to my contract they get the final say on the cover design, so oh well. My book is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, or any other online bookstore. It can also be ordered through any regular bookstore. Don't run out and buy it though....unless you have a pretty penny to spend. They are asking like $25.00 a book...which is really TOO much for a children's book, but oh well, that's their decision too. All I care about is getting my copy for my kids...it's kind of fun though!
