I know it has been absolutely AGES since my last post here, but that's what happens when you have a child that just graduated from college. You have parties to throw, college to prepare for, driving lessons, etc. So....anyway. Our head shots have been sent in to the publisher for the back of the book, the rest of the rough drawings have been sent to us by Robert (we have to pick the ones we like-yikes!, they're all so good!) Let's see...all of our book reviews and endorsements have been submitted for the book, and Robert is working like mad to get the cover art done for some posters that our publisher want to take to an upcoming book conference! So, that's about it for now. Next post will hopefully include a sneak preview of one of the final illustrations, or possibly even the new and final book cover!I know it has been absolutely AGES since my last post here, but that's what happens when you have a child that just graduated from college.

Everything is off to the proofer. We are awaiting Robert's final illustrations, which if submitted by July 31, we will have a release date of December 1, for the book. Whoo, hoo! I can't wait. That will be perfect timing too. The clubs will just be getting started, and it will be enough time for Christmas orders too. We'l keep our fingers crossed that all will go well for Robert with illustrating. We've had to postpone our fall school visits. All the administrators were totally fine with the change of schedule. i also had to postpone my writing class at the Rec Center until the winter semester, as I'd like to have our book with us for that.
