Keeping it updated...
I really had to add this one last illustration to make the collection complete. This is another one that Corey did to replace the one of the Captain arriving on his small fishing boat. It's a little scarier, but I think it conveys just how creepy that particular chapter is. Please note the weird eyes of Mr. Roberts and the tree behind him that appears to have arms reaching around him... ooooooooh! Scaary!
So far everything is up to date as far as the release of the book. I should be receiving a "Proof" within the next couple of weeks. When I get that I'll be able to see what the actual cover is going to look like as well as the inside page with all of the copyright information included. I'll also be able to see the first 100 pages or so, just to get an idea of what the layout is going to look like... very exciting.
All indications are that the book will be released in mid June, but if there are any changes I'll be sure to let everyone know.
I had a fairly successful spring break because I made a few very positive contacts with some bookstores in the Truckee, Lake Tahoe area. My hope is that I'll be able to do some book signings there is the summer. But again, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.
So until then, keep reading.

Publishing at last!
I really wanted to add this latest illustration by Corey. He is so Amazing.
Last week the decision to publish with Dog Ear Publishing, a company out of Indianapolis, was made. I am very excited. I've been in contact with the publisher dude who has put me to work gathering and formatting my material. Today I finally sent in the files. I was waiting for Corey to put the finishing touches on two of the five illustrations that will be included in the book. He worked under a bit of pressure to get them done, but as you can see, he's done a great job. Corey's art work will also become the cover design.
What a team!
If all goes well the book will be out and ready for distribution sometime around June. I will keep you all updated on Website info., ordering info., and book signing info. So stay tuned.
Thanks for your support,
Brad
