I was in the middle of sending a query out this morning when my doorbell rang. I ran from my office and through the house when I spotted The Man in Brown shuffling down my driveway through 6 inches of fresh powder. (man, we're getting pounded this year!!)
So, I scooped my box out of the snow drift and here's what was inside:
No, that's not me on the cover, Dahlink! It's my second book with Enslow Publisher's and my first book in their Careers in Film and Television series. It'll be officially released May 1st. Yay! I totally love the look and feel of the hardcover. Enslow did a fantastic job matching photos with my text!! Here's a sneak peek of a spread in the section where I profiled Leonardo DiCaprio. Lucky me!

I'm so excited it's here!! It's got me hankering to do another NF book or two or three.

I've been trying to get in with Enslow for about three years--yay for you!

I've really enjoyed writing for Enslow and hope to continue adding to their list.

Vibes to you, too! {{{{}}}}
CONGRATS!!!

Have I told you how stunning your art is? Wow! Can't wait to read your YA! (and then give it to my daughter!)
I must show my daughter your horses. Her first published work was a horse. The school calendar. :) She's really good at manga, too! I can't draw a straight line. Ha.
You're an ABLAer,too, aren't you?
And thanks -- you can tell your daughter that I've been horse crazy and doodling them since I was just a little maggot. Now look at me -- it's how I make my living.
I just love the pretty typesetting in your book. Wow, I am such a geek. ;)
Nothing geeky about loving the typeset! It's just one of the things I am very pleased with. :-) Yay, Enslow!
Your work reminds me a lot of Bev Doolittle's. Are you familiar with her? I have her book VISIONS with such beautiful horses, Indians and scenery.
I can say I knew you "when" because with your art AND writing talent, you've got it going on! (do people still say that? LOL)
Off to the DVR :-)
:-)
It's gorgeous!!! I would love to see a book on Carmelo Anthony (Nuggest player). My 5 year old loves him. Hint, hint.

There could be a biography in your future. Go for it! ;-)
where can i buy it??
congrats. =)
It's available at the big chain online sources. BN and Amazon and also through Enslow direct. Otherwise, ask your school, library and theather group (wink!) to order it. I *think* it's available for pre-order now.
Since these books are sold primarily to the school and library markets, they are bound hardcovers. That means they're higher priced than trade.

What's cool is, Mike (yeah, first name basis now...LOL) happens to be in my town week with The Lion King!I hope to meet up with him before they leave. (I know his mom ;)
You profiled the king of the world?!
*swoons*
Congratulations, my friend.
Thanks for the congrats!

We need a WI Writers Day soon. Maybe over Spring break? Let's talk. :-)
Congrats!!!
I've got feelers out there for more work. :-)
I just told Pam Beres we need a WI Writers Day to hang out. Maybe over Spring break? Spiked coffee and lunch? :-)
Your Key West photos have me hankering for some warmth!! I'm going in October and just heard there's a big "festival" then. A mini Mardi Gras type of thing.
My teens should find that very interesting! LOL
Let me know if there's a specific library you'd like me to send a flyer to.
