Preview of cover art for The Wind & Amanda’s Cello!

An exciting email arrived recently from Nova Scotia artist Sarah Shortliffe. This talented person has finished the cover art for The Wind and Amanda’s Cello, which will be released by Shadowpaw Press sometime this fall.
Obviously more information has to be added to make it an official cover, but here’s a glimpse of how this picture book will greet the world.
Thanks so much, Sarah, for your brilliant work! And fervent thanks also to Edward Willett of Shadowpaw Press, for bringing The Wind and Amanda’s Cello out as part of your imprint!

Exciting updates!

First, I’ve just signed a contract with Lilac Arch Press for a “tough topic” picture book, “The Best Little Sister in the World”. Lilac Arch Press is a fairly new Saskatchewan-based micro-press that is publishing some very interesting and innovative materials. I’m looking forward to working with them!

Second, Lakeview United Church here in Regina – the wonderful place I’ve attended for over 10 years now – got very excited about the feature article on me, which appears in “Neighbours of Albert St. South”. Not only was it announced at a service, but someone actually went to the trouble of photographing the whole thing, and even posted it on the website!

Hoping things are going well in your world(s) as the darkness of winter creeps toward spring.
