children’s picture book!<\/h2>\n

\"children's<\/p>\n

What’s this children’s picture book about you ask?<\/p>\n

Well, let me tell you.<\/p>\n

Can five completely different animals become friends?<\/h3>\n

Meet two dogs who befriend a moose on the train from Vancouver to Toronto. Along the way,\u00a0 two bears – a black bear and a grizzly – join them.<\/h4>\n

Will the group overcome their differences and discover that deep down they’re all the same?<\/h4>\n

You can read how the book came to be here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled with the job Aria Jones did on the illustrations. I found her on Fiverr<\/a> and would use her again.<\/p>\n

I’m waiting for quotes from two area printers. Given the fact, I’d prefer to use ‘local’ companies; I’ve requested quotes from two of them. One did the original print run of Tim’s Magic Christmas. The other is new to me but within walking distance of my house, which makes it great for picking up the finished product. The colour pictures will drive the cost up, but you can’t have a picture book without them, and black and white images aren’t going to do it.<\/p>\n

When the buy links are available, I’ll post them here. I’ll also post regular updates on my Facebook author page as to the book’s progress.<\/p>\n

Most Saturday’s during the summer, you’ll find me at the Brockville Farmers’ Market. As soon as the print edition is available, I’ll be there with it. You’ll find me on the east side of Market Street West next to city hall.<\/p>\n
