Appearance and My New Book!

I’m very happy to say that I will be a part of the 6th annual winter family reading night at the Hazelwood elementary school. It’s scheduled for February 11th at 6:00 p.m. I’ve had the honor of being asked to read from my book Fritz Fombie Have No Fear.
I will be leaving for Louisville, KY in a week where I will meet with my niece and editor Hannah Krieger. We'll be working on the next Fritz Fombie book that I’m finishing up. The book is titled Fritz Fombie and the Frightful Feats of Courage. It will be a wide open fantasy and adventure story bursting at the seams with creative fun. This book is like the first Fritz Fombie book, but also has a societal benefit. The book will help children to see that they can be brave and overcome any obstacle in their way. I’m very excited to see how others will experience this fanciful story that I wrote with a grin on my face. Take care and stay warm.

Finish line coming up!

I leave to see my editor in less than three weeks. I’ll spend about two weeks working with my editor then the book will be completed. As soon as the book is complete, I’ll start working on the cover and chapter Illustrations. The book now stands at 42,000 words, so it will be a longer read than Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. I’m working hard right now trying to pull all the loose ends together. I’m looking for any illogicality and trying to bring as much fun as I can to the story. Actually, this is the most fun time for me as an author because the story is completely there, I’m just tweaking some things so the story will sing as loud as it can. I will soon be putting on my artist hat and start on the illustrations. Drawing illustrations has a way of relaxing me. That might be because I know I have completed the hard months of putting a book together and the finish line is coming up quickly. I hope you will enjoy Fritz Fombie and the Frightful Feats of Courage as much as you enjoyed the first book. Take care.
