Artwork

Today my editor sent me a sneak preview of the artwork for my new book, Rodney Robbins and the Rainy-day Pond. It is fantastic! I don't think I'm supposed to reveal who the artist is, but I will say that the style is just exactly what the story needs. I'm thrilled to finally see Mr. Hamilton and Rodney come alive. All artwork is supposed to be finished by the end of December for a January 2010 book launch. That should translate into a late-Spring book in hand. Marketing is hoping to get the book on some summer reading lists.

Last week I sent October Bell out to five more publishers. We'll see what happens with this batch. Somewhere out there is a publisher who is just right for that story.
