Book Printed! Stay tuned for purchasing info.

I am pleased to announce the printing of the first edition of my book! It will arrive to my doorstep within a few days, hopefully. After going thru 2 proofs I think it's finally up to standards. I have to say, Createspace does do a good job. It looks pretty professional, not too shabby at all, I must say. I have a whole marketing plan for it now which includes doing signings, readings, getting it into local bookstores, and hopefully getting it reviewed.

In other news, I've been working on a logo for an online lit/arts blog. Design above.

98 percent there!

So I finally got Lizzie Fox-Top finished and it's printing as I write this, so hopefully I'll see a proof sometime the end of this week/early next week and then.....it'll be available for mass consumption!! So excited this is finally happening. I am just nervous it'll turn out bad. I heard that the company I went with, Createspace (a subsidiary of Amazon that offers POD service with no upfront cost, which I find extremely appealing) doesn't use glossy paper for its color pages. We'll see.

Above is the logo I have designed for the publishing company I am starting to call my titles under. Ogopogo is a Canadian sea monster (who also happens to have a really fun name for your favorite whimsical yet slightly edgy children's book author/illustrator)! The colors are off on this jpeg though--the turquoise is actually a golden yellow, the orange is blue, the blue is red, the pink is purple, and the green is a more muted yellow-green. Oh well.

Workin' workin' workin' as you may or may not have assumed. Here is a logo I am developing for an Easter Seals camp in Maryland.
