Cover Design and Layout is complete!

The cover design and layout are both complete now! Everyone has done a wonderful job on the the artwork.  I think it is coming together in an awesome way.  Still have my fingers and toes crossed to have some books before Christmas!

Illustrations are Complete!

Friday I got the word from my illustrator that they drawings are compete!  They next step is layout and cover design.  I will not get to see the complete set of drawings until layout is done.  After layout and cover design, I will have 20 days to make any final changes and then we move to marketing! Finally, the end is in sight.  Hard to believe I signed the contract with the publisher in February.  It's a long process, but I have enjoyed it and can't wait to see the finished product!
