Children’s Book
Danny will make his big debut at ALA
The books are slated to come off the presses some time in early January, with enough time to get shipped over to Combined Book Exhibits for the other Book Shows. I am enjoying all of this so much! The ALA in January is Danny the Dragon’s big debut!
The new Danny the Dragon website
Susan Gilbert of Joomla Jump is still working on the site and it will be up in January! First small shipment of books went out to make it in time for the first Book Show, the ALA on January 23rd.
Great to be in the Florida sunshine again
It was a white Christmas indeed! I hope everyone else had an incredible holiday. So good to be back home, basking in the warm Florida sunshine. Time to get an update on the status of the books and the site!
Heading up to North Conway for Christmas
Well I’ll be offline for a little while – headed up north to North Conway for Christmas and won’t be back until the day after looking forward to the start of the new year! The Danny the Dragon site is officially being redone now. I am thrilled to see the outcome of it too.
The books have arrived and so have the puppies
I had a small shipment of books arrive already. What a Holiday gift to finally see these in person! We finally settled on names for the puppies. Darn it took awhile: Bailey and Teddy (Bear).
Danny is receiving A LOT of interest
I’ve made some excellent contacts that are interested in getting Danny the Dragon into some exciting Festivals and Book Shows! I also had an interesting 5 emails that went back and forth between myself and an agency in London. Well, that turned out to be a real waste of my time.
Very busy with the holidays coming around
Well now that I’ve hit the official holiday months, things are starting to get very, very busy between my various holiday projects, the printing of the book and all kinds of other ventures… a bit whirl-windy lately, but fun! Picked up our two puppies – a little female and male.
Ideas that have come to fruition
Wow, I’m still just wild about the illustrations… and I’m marveling again at how wonderful it is to actually see all of these ideas that have come to fruition. I am so pleased!
Hard copy illustrations have arrived!
GREAT NEWS! The shipment from Latvia arrived! Took long enough – that’s for sure… but the box and it’s valuable contents were totally unscathed. Sent an email to Aija to let her know, and she replied to tell me that she had been praying for one week straight, in the hopes that the shipment would arrive safely…well that explains why I hadn’t heard from her at all during the prior week!
Glossy or matte?
I had two choices on the book’s finished look today: glossy or matte. I chose matte… I’m very close to giving the book the “go-ahead.”
