The Cliff

A man gets some new stuff that makes him happy for a while. then it doesn’t. He gets more new stuff and that makes him happy again…for a while. He gets more and more stuff until he loses sight of what made him happy in the first place.

Will it ever Happen??

May 31, 2019

How long does it take to self publish a book?

Wow, have I ever learned…. Three years ago, I started the illustrations for a children’s book, written by a local author and friend.  I am a professional artist, but this is my first children’s book. First I will say that working on the illustrations has been the most fun I have ever had as an artist- but – then comes the formatting…and the printing…and the marketing…!

As of right now, we are in the printing stage, and it has taken many months longer than I had forcasted.  We are almost there, in the home stretch, running for home- I can see it….

I’ll be sharing some of my journey here, mostly out of my own frustrations- but- hopefully to share with others what I have learned, and still will be learning as this journey continues. Hope you’ll come along with me!

Life Lessons…


As I approach the “3rd third” of my life, I find myself spending more time looking back. Oh I’m still looking forward, but trying to learn what I can from the past, as I flow down this river of life!
