Go guess what ... if you have not figured it out ... I am tickled pink to let everyone know ... one of my books is going to be PUBLISHED!!!!
WOW ... is the first thing I have to say ... the second thing is, it has been a long road to get here but I have finally succeeded in achieving one of my most personal goals. I can honestly say it is an outer body experience, a little overwhelming at times, but the most excited period of my life.
It is a children's novel called Dragon Boyz and it was inspired by my son, who has the most creative and intense mind. He is also the reason why I pursued publishing it when I had completed writing it, because his confidence in me was all I needed to take the next step.
I love to write and have been writing for many years. I have some poetry published, and have collaborated with other in literary pieces, but this book is my baby. It is my first and definitely not my last. I do feel very blessed and there are a lot of people who I am very grateful to for supporting me through this entire process.
My launch date for the children's book is in March 2015. So until then I have to put together a package for my publisher to finalize the completion of the book. For those who are interested in publishing, it is a challenging experience, a lot of work, and you must be willing to always take the next step.
BUT IT IS ALL WORTH IT!!!
Ok .... so the question to you guys .... which professional picture should I go with? I have not decided if to go with colour or black and white .... and remember it is a children's novel.
So which one would you chose? HELP!!

Congratulations on the publishing deal! I always prefer black and white pictures.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I find the black and white looks so chic. Yet, for a children's book, and I'm speaking with my 7 year old daughter's mindset, a child would be drawn to the color photo. There, just my two cents' worth!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I love the black and white pic. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to write a novel this year for NaNoWriMo; I am used to nonfiction so this is a stretch!
If you'd like me or my children to review and blog about your book, please contact me!
