A Sense of Accomplishment
I was able to get my newest book, The Journey of My Mother’s Son, Volume I through the editing process and into production. The cover design has been approved and I’m just waiting on the production team to get everything formatted and ready for print. Although this is now the third time that I’ve gone through this process, there is always a huge sense of pride and anticipation that goes along with seeing a project through.
The children’s book that I assisted on for Youk has now been sent off to the illustrator and we’re just anxiously waiting to see some of her amazing illustrations come back for review. It’s a creative process and collaboration that is new to me, which is very exciting and refreshing.
The cover design for my next two books have also been completed and both of the manuscripts have been started. I am really looking forward to completing this book series and sharing these stories with others.
