The Dreaming Gourd is coming in 2023.  Sign up for my newsletter to stay in the loop.  The form can be found on my webpage in the About and Dreaming Gourd sections.

The journey of writing a story, illustrating it and getting it into actual publication is so complex!  I had no idea how many moving parts there are.  Duh.  Of course there would be!!   There are editors, and printers and thousands of kinds of papers to consider, color palette, scanners, digitizing everything, font, text size, book size ….. the list is endless!

To say that I have not nearly tossed in the towel would not be honest.  But I promised my mom and a promise is a promise.  She left us in 2020 during covid.  I’ll write about her one day. Right now I must stay focused on the tasks at hand.
