Shhhhh! Crowbaby is Incubating
November 6th 2008
I know, I know, I’m the world’s worst blogger. There should be some sort of award, you think? I sort of missed all of September and all of October, and, yes, that is not quite up to the blog a day that Lin wants me to write, but I do write. I’m writing every day and most nights. Most of this writing is going to the columns for the Hattiesburg American and the Biloxi Sun Herald.
But I’m also working on the third book in the Jonny C Series, short stories set in the Jonny C world of Catherine, and on my newest book, a richly-illustrated book called the Legend of Crow-baby. Actually, my work on this book has been minimal for the last several months while my illustrator, Georgia Godwin, her artistic advisor, Barry McPhail, and Lin–yes, the writer’s wife, Lin have been planning, editing, and creating what I think will be a stunning book.
The final push on the book came this past week. In a mighty effort the team fought distance, distractions such as jobs and classes, and an endless production cycle armed only with hand-roasted coffee (Sumatran peaberry & Kenyan Tegu) and Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan Amber Lager.
We did it. Yes, I said “we.” After all someone had to roast the coffee. We are now waiting for our print on demand company, Lulu.com to hatch our first two copies of The Legend of Crow-baby.. Stay Tuned
