This year has been filled with writing ideas and writing accomplishments!
First, I wanted to revise my “A Girl and Her Cat” book. I wanted to fix minor errors and to make the cover look better. Alongside that book, I worked on writing, editing, and illustrating its sequel “A Girl and Her Cat Together.” Both books became available for purchase in May 2023. I’m pleased with how both books turned out and I’m eager to share them with fellow cat lovers and readers of all ages. The third and final book in the “A Girl and Her Cat” series, “A Girl and Her Cat Embrace,” will be available Spring 2024.
For the remaining months of 2023, I’m turning my focus to revisiting “God is Real (So is the Devil)” for minor editing, adding an updated bio, and adding a brand new chapter at the end of the book. “God is Real (So is the Devil)” was my first published book. It was released in December 2016 with hopes of it helping other people with similar struggles to find comfort and meaning in their lives through Christ. I plan to have the second edition published in December 2023.
I am also working on a children’s picture story, flip book entitled “Happy as Gold.” It’s different from my other children books because I originally drew the 1 inch by 1 inch illustrations intended for a stop motion video. My video making program was on an old Gateway 2000 PC that suddenly decided not to turn on one day. I put the project off to the side and decided to forget about it. One Sunday morning last year, as I was flipping through my drawing book, I saw the illustrations and the words to the story came to me. Now, I’m working on editing it so each page will have a little illustration in the lower corner. The reader will be able to enjoy the story by flipping the corner and also by reading it like a normal book with an enlarged illustration and text on each page. I plan to have this book published in Fall 2023.
In addition, I have my “Piano Boy” series. I took break from writing and publishing those children books for a while. However, I decided to update the series by turning the stories into a comic book series! There will be brand new brightly colored illustrations done by Crystal Moody. She has been working hard on “Piano Boy: Neighborhood Hero” and soon she will start working on “Piano Boy: Teacher’s Hero.” The two stories will be combined into one book entitle “Piano Boy Volume 1.” If you already have the books in their original form, you’ll want to invest in buying the comic book version because of the new bright illustrations and also for story changes that were not in the original version. I plan to have this book published in Spring 2024.
All published books are available on Amazon.com and TimeHonoredProductions.com.
