THE SCARY TRACKS - OFF TO THE PUBLISHER

Yesterday Nelson & I did one final edit of The Scary Tracks before sending it on to the publisher.  Though I thought I found all the changes that needed to be made, it was good to have 2 sets of eyes editing.

We took a close look through the 'book preview' (top) feature of the BookSmart program - where there are no editing features (bottom photo-editing mode). 

We flipped from 'book preview' to 'book editing'-making corrections. 

Then with a click, we ordered 2 copies from Blurb,  one for ourselves and one for our grandkids-the 3 artists.

(middle photo - 1 of 5 art pages I made, facilitating storyline flow.)

ART ON SPECIAL PAGES

Only one of our 3 grandkid's work could be on the cover but there are 2 other pages in the front of the book to give the other young 2 artists an important place. 

Here they are - the title page (above) and the intro page (at right).

Hoping to send it off for publishing over the weekend.

9 BACK PAGES

Almost ready for publication - the latest Kittykee adventure: The Scary Tracks.  

There are 9 extra pages in the back of the book that I'm using to show the art by each of the 4 illustrators (my grandchildren and myself), photos of the creative process and other shots.  

Below is a 2 page photo spread about Nelson and I putting the book together and the illustrations that I did to fill in the story gaps. (click on cover at right to enlarge)
