It’s been quite a while since I’ve been able or motivated to post anything. Life has been very busy as I amble around the country helping to care for the sick in areas that don’t have enough nurses to go around. I realize this is basically everywhere.
The good news is that after dragging my feet for a while, and not a little bit of trepidation on my part due to low levels of confidence in my own illustrating ability, I have been making very good progress in the next addition to Sleeping Dragon Publications published works. I won’t spoil it by any means, but let’s just ask and answer one question- what do kids (and this adult) love second to dragons? Dinosaurs of course! I’m personally a huge fan of the Stegosaurus. I’ve always felt a little awkward about my tall and lanky body, something that was hard to coordinate when I played sports as a teen, and when I see a Stegosaurus I just think to myself how really awkward they are. Still, they were a very cool animal with tall fans on their back, and the long mace of a tail they had surely gave the carnivorous dinosaurs pause when it came to attacking them.
Not only am I excited about my dinosaur story, but my very lovely wife is helping me with the illustrations of a story about a seahorse. Yes, part of me is putting all of the creatures that I have questions for God about in my stories, but it’s also the benefit of being the author in that I get to put my favorite animals into my stories- have patience otter lovers, I haven’t forgotten about you.
As I work on all of this I just want to say thank you to the audience of Sleeping Dragon Publications. We are so excited to be bringing you these stories, and we hope that in some small way we can help you encourage your little humans to be kindly toward their friends, loving toward their pets, and have a good appreciation for the world and people around them.
God bless you in this difficult time and stay tuned for more fun adventures of creatures both mythical and real, cryptid and actual!
