I met with Diane today, author of the new Harp Mouse Adventures - Book II, to see the book for the very first time and to pick up a boat load of copies to spread around town! I am THRILLED! It is BEAUTIFUL! I so love working with Diane, her work is phenomenal. She is a wonderful person and we have become great friends.

THE COVER ~ It's been a whole month and we've all been so patient, but rest assured please, I have not been complacent.

Take a look at below to see a few pages, just a tiny run through, to show you some stages...

Page 3 ~ The colors you'll see on these pages are brilliant.

Page 7 ~ the story will peak your child's curiosity and yours too!

Page 11 ~ a wonderful way to learn about the harp and the adventures of this sweet little mouse!

It's out of my hands!!!

The illustrations have now left my hands, to be printed and bound and dispersed through the land! As soon as I get my twisted little fingers on it I will show it to you here. Just the cover mind you, you'll have to actually buy it and read it yourself (or to your children or pets) to see the final creation in full. But until the mean time you can read up on it here http://www.heartandharp.net/book.html. She will be announcing it before I do, since of course she wrote it! You will be able to purchase the book by clicking on Diane E. Dunn's website at that same address. I can't wait to see the finished product myself! Keep watching!!!

I've already started on my next book project, more on that as we move along!

Sneak peek at the Squeak

FINALLY! The last tweak of the squeak will be finished this week and head off to the press, so here's just a peek. I can't wait to get my hands on it and sniff it's freshly printed pages. As soon as it's completed you'll be the first to know (after Diane Dunn, the author http://www.heartandharp.net/book.html and myself of course.) Then it's off to promote it and start illustrations on the NEXT children's books...more on those as I get started.
