 Vivian at 4RV Publishing called me last night to say "It's beautiful!" ... lol. Luckily, I had just read the email saying the exact same thing moments before, so I had an idea as to what she was talking about ... lol. After talking to Viv, called Waldenbooks (where my upcoming book signing is scheduled), and informed the manager that the book was available through Ingram, so they better order fast if they plan to have copies in time. For any who have missed it, check out the book trailer below. Until next time ... Aidana WillowRaven When you think of a gift, think of a book!

'The First Miracle' ... off to the printers. 11/11/2009
 I am so stoked! I just submitted the final files for The First Miracle and hope that the printer can have the book ready for order in the next week or so. Today was so hectic trying to get this one tied up. Here is the trailer again, for those who missed it before, and below it, the individual illustrations for those who have a slower connection and can't see it, along with the back cover blurb.

Aidana WillowRaven When you think of a gift, think of a book!   Copyright held by WillowRaven & 4RV Publishing Here is a peak at my current illustration in its initial stages. Since this is the last illustration I can share for this book, I thought I would relish it a little longer by showing off the sketch. Hopefully, I can finish, or at least complete the key elements of this illustration today. Its raining a lot, so I don't see why I shouldn't have a finished work to show off in a few hours.

Copyright held by WillowRaven & 4RV Publishing This is Teen Read Week. You can get more info about it on the website, of course. Teen Read Week 2009 is celebrated Oct. 18-24. This year's theme is Read Beyond Reality @ your library, which encourages teens to read something out of this world, just for the fun of it. I wanted to show off two of the Tween/YA books that I recently illustrated and designed. They may not be 'out of this world' in a sci-f or astronomical sense, but found both to have 'other world' traits. In Just Breeze by Beverly Stowe McClure, the main character often speculates about the new mystery guy at school being from another planet. We also discover the 'world' of a young girl coming of age and how she sees not only her world, but herself, while she learns that others she her quite differently.

Growng up is tough now, and it was tough in the 1930s, too. In my last two posts, I have made trailers for each book. I hope you check them both out. I am also rebuilding my Buy the Books page to make it more user friendly. Be sure to check out the Tween/YA section and buy a book or two in celebration of Teen Read Week 2009. The blurbs and trailers are visible from there as well. Until next time ... Aidana WillowRaven When you think of a gift, think of a book!  Copyright held by WillowRaven & 4RV Publishing
Copies can also be ordered on my 'Buy the Books' page. I can sign the frontispiece too, if you like. Now to get to work on the Second Chance website. Until next time ... Aidana WillowRaven When you think of a gift, think of a book!
