A New Book in the Works!

Well, although our "Wrestling The ABCs" isn't out yet, and we haven't even typed a rough draft of our "Wrestling, One, Two. Three," I have cleaned up and fine tuned the first manuscript of my "I Wanna Be A..." series. I have several in the works, and plan to market it as a series. A friend of ours who helped with our Wrestling The ABCs book has had several books published, and his latest publisher is interested in my "I Wanna Be A...." series, as she is starting a new line of books...picture books for kids! Lucky me.. so I need to get going on that while we await the publication of our other stuff!!

Cover Art...and our ISBN numbers!!!

For our Activity Book that is. Title: Wrestling The ABC's Activity Book-Volume One!

The activity book is ready to submit to our publisher and should be ready in about 5-6 weeks. Hopefully it will or else we won't have it to take to Vegas with us and that'd be a huge bummer! One of our friends is married to a German wrestler, they live in Germany, and she teaches English to German elementary students, so Tom thinks maybe she'll want some copies of the book to read to the kids in English.

Also, my sisters have both been talking up our book at their elementary and junior high schools, and they want us to do some author visits at the start of next school year. Cool!

The ABCs of Recreational Writing!

This is the cover of one of the books my ROAR Writers wrote two years ago. I'm expecting more good stuff from my Recreation Writing Class this fall!


Spoke with the recreation director yesterday at the Hazel Park Recreation Center, and they are setting me up with a class this fall (September sign up). I'll be teaching a writing class for kids 4th grade and up. We'll be writing and illustrating books on their favorite subject in my perfected ABC style! I'm pretty excited about that. Since I started subbing full time, I miss my ROAR writers a ton, so this will help fill that void.

One, Two, Three...Wrestle!

Tom wants to start writing the next book, “1,2,3, Wrestle!” I’d rather not, but he’s already working on it. We also have the activity book almost ready to go to print. Haven’t talked to Robert for over a week (don’t want to bother him...we’re rushing him as it is!). Hope all is going good with his illustrations.

Marian plans to take some of our book promo stuff to their table at the Ann Arbor Book Festival. The book won’t be done yet, so personally, I’d rather not go. She can take our stuff and do her marketing magic. Hey, it’s what she does!!

So, at this point, we are just coasting a bit, waiting for illustrations. Tom doesn’t want to do any more promoting until the book comes out. Fine with me! Things have been pretty relaxing and low key here for us. We have secured almost all of our excerpts from our wrestling heroes. Now we are waiting for our review blurbs to come in. We got one already from a Lee Roy Smith, who is the executive director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. One down, let’s hope we get a few more. Marian said three would be good to get, so we’ll aim for that.
