Exciting Book Cover News!


Here's the exciting news that I promised...an aviation artist named William S. Phillips, who does a lot of Doolittle Raid paintings, has agreed to let me use one of his paintings on my cover! It is an amazing piece of artwork titled Into the Arms of the Dragon that features my Uncle Denver's plane!


You can see a picture of the artwork at this link:

Publishing Process Update

Hi Readers,


I am almost entirely done with the writing part of my book. It is now in the editing process. A dear family member, who is about to gradute with her B.A. in English, served as my editor from the grammar and writing viewpoint. My good friend, Mr. R. J., whom I met at the Raider Reunion last year, has graciously agreed to do historical edits for the book.


I hope to have the text entirely finished very soon, and then I will finish the book cover.
Also, I have another AMAZING announcement about the book to post soon. Stay tuned...

Change of Plans

First off, I just want to say that I'm sorry for not having posted in a while! I've been pretty busy, but I have been working on the book. A lot has happened since my last post, so here's the rundown.

I decided not to submit my manuscript to Peachtree Publishers after all--I have several reasons for this, but I have decided not to even submit my manuscript. Instead, I am going with a more independent publishing company that gives me more control over the book. This way, you will be able to purchase my book three ways:
  • on Amazon.com
  • directly from the self-publishing website
  • directly from me (on this blog)
The story is almost done. It's going to be told as narrative with a few quotes interspersed throughout. I'll be posting more info soon. Thanks!
