After I approved the 2nd Proof of my book yesterday, Edition One Books has now confirmed that this book is now in the printing process and will arrive at my house within 3-4 weeks! That means it will be here this Summer and I will be sending the pre-paid books off first thing and then marketing the rest via concerts at the Song of the Mountains in Marion and hopefully at the Galax Fiddlers Convention in Galax and at a book release concert yet to be announced!
This has been a very long and intense journey of many interviews, portraits, concerts, travel, learning new software, overcoming computer crashes, power outages, illnesses, every day life and unknown crazy obstacles that I could never see coming!! But, I never once felt like giving up for one second! This book has been the most gratifying project I have ever undertaken as an artist and I am very proud to announce that it has reached its completion!
I hope you all, who have followed this journey with me, is as excited and proud as I am! I have felt your support and encouragement all along the way and it has kept me sane and motivated, so I thank you most sincerely!
I plan to post a shop here on this site and also one on my Facebook page and my photography site and so you will have plenty of ways in which to purchase!
Now I am working on updating the accompanying CD because I have had a few other musicians want to join in the music! I am adding Dale Morris, Elizabeth & her Mom Sandy Laprelle, Jim Lloyd and me! Yes, that last one is a shocker to me as well! I recently won 2nd place in our Chatauqua festival Song competition and so I was encouraged to put my song 'Golden Cage' on the CD. I am very shy about my singing so this takes a brave act of courage for me! Ha!
Okay folks, I will be back to announce the arrival of the books with pictures and maybe a video of me opening the box!
Thank you all for your kindness and patience!
Love y'all!
