BluBerrie: The Botanical Garden Is Coming
The budget for the newest children’s novel, BluBerrie: The Botanical Garden, is adequate for a possible pub date in December. The better news: It’s already edited; the bad news: the ten or so projected illustrations are not complete. Ouch!
Two reasons for the delay, one, I’m also the illustrator, and making the switch from writer to artist takes some “breathing room” before starting. And second, I need motivation; without it, the ten or so drawings that I need to get done won’t happen. At least, they’ll suck if I go at it without inspiration.
I’m shooting for after the Thanksgiving Holiday before I can sit down at my drawing table, put on my artist’s cap and bring back the BluBerrie gang to life again!
One Parting Political Poke
Thanks to my fans and those who are not who voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for president. Now rebuilding our nation begins. The road ahead won’t be easy the way we see things going thus far.
Not wanting to poke a hornet’s nest (but I can’t help myself), I must admit, I’m dumbfounded that the 70 million people who voted for this “loser” president couldn’t care that they voted for a racist, sexist, and liar—a man who, at every turn of his miserable presidency, has broken his promise to us. And who has failed to uphold our constitution and the principles of America for his selfish gains? I don’t get it? Do you?
Nonetheless, I’m hopeful that Americans will unite around our new leaders: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris; if we don’t, may God have mercy on us all.
j.o.y.
