Really. And I forget sometimes."},"content":{"rendered":"

I’ve written two novels now, and have a few more in progress. But what I often forget is that I’d already written two books years ago. Children’s books. No gun-play, no terrorists, no alcoholism, no nada.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why that never creeps into my feeble little brain, as they’re very nice books.<\/p>\n

Yesterday it smashed right through the every day world and screamed at me! Lauren, the gifted young artist I work with on the book, has finished the cover. And, she came up with a great title. Mine was a bit feeble. You can follow her here: Lauren Mattson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, ready for the unveil? \u00a0It’s below the fold. I’m as excited about this as I was about the novels. (Really! \u00a0This is way more fun and way more beautiful.)<\/p>\n
