maybe, wasn't intending on a picture book lol. Deke still has them, he is an amazing artist. All I had to do was briefly describe them and he brought them to life on paper.

Amazing news everybody, I've contacted a publishing company that is interested in my book and willing to make it. I am so excited right now, and it's not just any ole company, it's dorrance, America's leading author services company since 1920!!!!!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not begin to explain how happy this makes me. All of this comes at a reasonable price as well.

need to edit in more god news, I just arraigned for a copyright deal with legalzoom.com

ok, after reviewing my options, as Dorrance is not the only publisher interested now, I've decided to go with a company called dog ear publishing. They are ore up my ally than the others. They offer me realistic prices rather than ungodly ones, and reasonable contracts. I can go through the entire publishing process with them for only $1,700. Which is a lot, but still in my range.


and also, dog ear gives you 5 free copies of your own work, I think I know wwhere a couple of thode are going, lol.

Ok guys, I am seriously getting stressed out. This book will be the death of me. I now have an official deadline, which is two weeks away. Why? That is how long my publisher has given me. So I might not be able to get those proof reading copies out to you Drake, and Ire. However your free copies of the finished product are reserved, no prob guys. So, now my stress level is through the roof, I might not be on for a while guys, I got to dedicate all of my time to finishing and then editing my book, then I can begin the 450 word summary of the book as well as the 450 word biography of my self. Then I can work on cover designs. So, this it bye for a while guys, keep the word of the dragons alive, Da svidaniya.

I'm sorry that this has happened to you. Best of luck, you'll need it. We have faith in you and I know you could do it on time (even with pics).

The idea will live on Kroa.

I don't know if I have bad taste in art or not cause in my opinion that's pretty good. all it needs is to be cleaned up a bit and add a tad more color. After that it should be pretty cool looking.

I know I'm not the only one but I kind of like to warn people be for they look at my art. Sometimes great artists (or very good artists) become Critics ( and not the nice ones)

it'll get cleaned up by "sketch" from my other site. Then I'll take it to photoshop for some good coloring. Then it'll be done.
