Guess what I have that you don't have...yet


Well...yesterday was the day. After over of year of prepping, writing, arting, and then waiting, the Secrets of Rusty Things is in my possession. Tonia, my editor, mailed me a copy as soon as she saw it on her desk. All I have to say is...amazing. What a thrill to open and then to hold in my hot little hands. I don't know if I can explain the sensation of having your own book in your hands and having a Library of Congress number. A little bizarre.


The bummer is that it still won't be out in the stores for a bit. It still looks like it won't be available until June, but at least I know it's for real.


So enjoy the sneak peak...don't want to give to much away.

    Michael you are a tease! Hints of your joint project and hints of the book, perhaps we won't buy it now.

    As if that is going to happen? It looks so good. Congratulations!!!

    Now that you have this book completed and in your liquid nail affected hands, you can move on to other projects. (Like a creative catalyst DVD... hint hint!!!)
