Why No Posts?

A couple days ago a dear friend, who is also a faithful reader of this blog, commented that I hadn't written anything in a couple of weeks.

That is true. Actually, I have been busy writing, just not here.

I am in the middle of my fourth children's book, in the Ellie & Percival series.  This one is entitled, "Everyone Loves Ellie."  I hope to have it available on Amazon by the end of August.

While the story of the book is complete (except for multiple edits,) I am now working on the more tedious and time consuming portion...the illustrations.  I think most of the hardest ones are finished, but still, there is a lot of smaller illustrations to add before the book is ready for publishing.

This book, like the previous three, is about a real-life event.  When Ellie was a puppy she had a reaction to one of her vaccinations and had to go to the Animal Hospital.  It was a difficult time for us all, but they made her well and she came back to us quickly.  In this story, Ellie learns how important she is to all her friends be they turtles, cats or birds, and how very much she is loved by all.  

If you aren't familiar with the Ellie & Percival Series, the other three books are currently available on Amazon.  You can see what each of the books are about on the Books page here.

When I am working on a book, whether for children or adults, my mind is fully absorbed with that process.  I will be somewhere else, doing something else, and thoughts will pop into my mind.  For my brain, it is somewhat exclusionary for anything other writing.   However, I will try to do better.

Thanks for the prompting, Wayne!
