Books. My books.

I've been working with Capstone Press for two years.  I'm in the final stages of my sixth project.  Last Winter, I had the joy of holding my very first published book in my hands (January 2010, TAURUS, VIRGO, & CAPRICORN: ALL ABOUT THE EARTH SIGNS).  Since then, I've worked on four more nonfiction titles.  It's been quite a ride, but it doesn't seem quite real until you hold the hard copy!  Thank you Capstone Press!  (For anyone thinking of getting into work-for-hire, I've had a great experience.)

In January 2011 (that's, like, two weeks away!), three of my titles will be released.  They've been viewable on Amazon for a couple of months.  But this week, the new titles were posted on the publisher's website.   

The very first assignment I received from Capstone (WHO REALLY DISCOVERED AMERICA?) is one of the three coming out in January.  I'm particularly excited about this one.  I think kids are really going to like it.  Cool cover, right?

The other two are: OUR SUN and STARS.  Suffice it to say, anything related to the sky is popular with my daughter and her class.  I'm going to be a hero in the 2nd grade this spring.  I can't wait to show them!

Yes, I'm still working on my fiction (albeit at a snail's pace right now), but I wanted to share the excitement.  Nonfiction is a blast to write, and seeing the progress and the end result is priceless to my writer's ego.

Happy Holidays to all!

My new books, hooray!

I just googled myself (c'mon, admit it, you do it too) and found out that the three books coming out in January are available to preorder from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  And I'm certain that you could preorder with your favorite local bookseller as well (or if not, then soon).

It looks like they're also going to be available in paperback!

So, go ahead, preorder!  I've seen the layout and they're awesome--I can't wait for everyone to see them!  And of course, I'll sign them if you buy them!

This link will take you to the books page of my website (page down to the bottom)--I linked the books to Amazon for convenience, but please do remember your local independent bookseller when you purchase.  Mine is Willow Books and is located here.

Update: the cover images are visible on my profile page on GoodReads. Whoot!
