Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

The Lil Glimmer illustrations are done!

Whoo hoo!

The book is set to go into printing, and should be available on Amazon.com around the first of the month.

Here are some pics of the illustrations, just to give ya a taste. It's my first time really doing anything like this, so let me know what you think:

Review and Giveaway of both my books at "Just For Me...And You"

I've just been informed that a review of both of my books appears at the "Just For Me...And You" blog. Megan was kind enough to check out both of the books and review them on her blog. There are a couple of pictures there and a giveaway for FREE copies of the books.

Check it out by clicking HERE.

I'm illustrating a new book....

Here's a mock-up of the cover I'm doing for the book "Lil Glimmer".

Hopefully the illustrations will be ready before Halloween, and the book will be available by Thanksgiving. :-)

The Porterlance Books should be included in the 11-01-09 Launch of RippleReader.com

"One Stormy Day" and "A Stranger At Christmas" should be included in the 11-01-09 launch of RippleReader.com.

It seems like a great idea, that will have a solid launching. It's a program you put on your computer for your kids. You, GrandParents, or Parents overseas in the Military can purchase books for the kids...and record themselves reading those books to the kids. The kids look on the computer, and can play the book in digital format and hear their loved one reading the book to them. And, they encourage the parents to purchase the paperback/physical copy of the book so the child can use it while reading along.

I'll make sure to post links once they launch...so everyone can check it out. :-)

People have been buying "One Stormy Day"

I've gotten a few more orders for "One Stormy Day" on Amazon.com recently, so that's a nice feeling. :-)

There's were a few typos found in the "A Stranger At Christmas" book, so those are being fixed as I type, and it should be order-able again on Amazon on Friday. Yipee!

If you need a good book to read to your children, these are them.

I just got my hard cover copies in from Blurb.com

I have to say I am impressed! It's so cool to see my books in hard cover format. Nice, thick, silky pages. Click the pictures below to see them larger:
