Current Word Count: 2,391 The files are still with the printer, and I should be able to pickup a proof today. I am really looking forward to holding the book in my hands. So, now what? FYI, I am a list girl. I have a long list of things that I need to do to […]
I am so thankful that the cover art is complete! I adjusted errors found in the interior of the book design and sent the files to the printing company last night! MILESTONE! The art itself is absolutely stunning. Michael did such a great job! The inside of the building is so detailed. There are wood […]
I’m astounded at how much the cover has progressed in the span of one day. I know the cover art still has a ways to go, but I can see the finish line! I believe the cover copy is in place for the most part. YAY! Almost ready for the printer! I also finished the […]

I finished designing the body of the book, which was a great process. Every small change had an incredible butterfly effect on the rest of the book. It took me an entire day to take care of widows and orphans, which are single lines of a paragraph at the top or bottom of a page. […]
Did I mention my Bachelor of Arts degree is in Multimedia and Web Design? Long story short, I have worked with Adobe products for many, many years. In my early College Instructor days, I even taught Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects. InDesign…well I never did a lot of print-work, so, not so much. Thankfully, it […]
I have been working on naming my book and creating a tagline/blurb. The name has evolved over the course of a month now, and I finally settled on one my Dad suggested. Funny enough, the title is from a line pulled directly from the book. Rescuers From DEMA
