I have been MIA…normally I am replying to all of my inquiries within a day or two, posting pictures, commenting all over Facebook and editing, editing, editing… but not recently! By no stretch of the imagination have I been focusing on much of anything photo related. But all is not for naught! (I think that’s how you spell it?) Actually, I have been MIA for several GOOD REASONS! We just finished the second book in the iluminate book series, Rosie & Henry & The Pasta Garden, and (don’t tell Nellie, but) I think this is my favorite one so far!! And I just had Lasik eye surgery! Most importantly I am SO EXCITED for all of you to see Rosie & Henry & The Pasta Garden! This story is about Rosie & Henry, a playful duo who lovingly explore the virtue of imagination (one of my MOST FAVORITE VIRTUES!) in this vivid tale taking readers to a place of glowing hearts and minds. The story alone literally paints a picture in your mind of these curious, energetic, imaginative children and the illustrations (if I may say so) bring this beautiful story to life!
This book is a special one too…we are printing it as a limited edition and when it’s gone, it’s gone! So, mark your calendars! Thursday, April 22nd, you will be able to pre-order Rosie & Henry & The Pasta Garden through iluminatebooks.com! And if you are so inclined to have Karen and I sign your copy, stop by Bachman’s on Lyndale May 1st and May 2nd between 10am and 2pm! We will be there as part of the Bachman’s 125th year anniversary and will be selling and signing copies in the atrium!
If you don’t already have your signed copy of Humble Pie, the first book we launched in the iluminate books series, then visit us this Thursday, April 22nd, at the Dunn Brothers Coffee Smith Douglas More House in Eden Prairie. April is Local Authors Month and we will be there along with other local authors mingling, sipping on coffee and signing Humble Pie books!
And just when it couldn’t get any better, Humble Pie is now available online at Barnes&Noble.com!
While I am so excited about the books and all the events we have coming up I also very much excited to get back behind my camera! I have a full weekend of sessions coming up; you know who you are and expect to be hearing from me soon to confirm details! My eyes have enjoyed this momentary break from the camera while they heal and are feeling wonderful! Had my follow up appointment and the doctor confirmed…I now have 20/15 vision in both eyes! Think this means I am going to take better pictures now? I think so!!
