Nine years later, after going through writing dry spells, it is written. There are approximately ten people reading it right now for the readers' evaluation phase. In the mean time, I have met with a book cover designer and am looking for an editor. The illustrations are few. One of my friends showed interest in coming up with some of the characters and scenes. If he can do it, that will be a dream come true.
After this first book is edited, my goal is to e-publish it on three platforms: iBooks, Amazon and Barnes & Nobles' Nook, and translate it into Portuguese for a Brasil release. Depending on the amount of sales from the electronic world, a paper version may materialize.
The truth is that I am not even a formal writer. English is my second language, but it has been a dream of mine since age sixteen--way back in the stone age--to write a fictional book that depicted how families interact in an environment filled with magic and dreams.
Below is the family that started it all: Laddy, his wife Lynda, their kids Lyle, Lilly and Cousin George. For now, I will leave it at that... as time goes by, this blog will become a place where I can discuss with all of the readers more about the first book, and give hints, sometimes spoilers, on the second one of the trilogy which is now underway.
Hopefully, this enchanted world that my daughter and I created will become a place where we can all unlimitedly visit with our thoughts and witness the triumph of light over darkness, love over hatred, life over death.
