It's Here, It's Here!

The phone call came about 5 minutes ago. The months of work and anxiety have all come together into this colorful 24 page children's book titled "If We Hopped On Our Bike...".

I have had a few review copies with me for a few weeks but I have been guarding them like gold. Of course I sent one to my mom but the others have been carefully protected. But now I can swim in them. Sell them wth wild abandon. WAHHOOOO the books are here.

Now what? Well, I have a show on April 2 at my gallery at 3150 C Street that will feature all the original art from the book and a display showing the making of a book and all that goes along with it. I have shows set up through out the year to promote my little creation. It is all quite exciting.

Indeed there is a degree of worry that goes along with all of this. What if people don't like it? What if this time next year we don't call it "the book" but "firewood"? What if when I am doing one of those magazine quizzes and they ask about my biggest regret and "THE BOOK" screams in my head?

Enough of that gloom and doom, time for my happy dance. The book is HERE!
