The Latest from Munsonville

We're still trying to schedule a release date for the official Bryony cookbook, Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," from Tinkey's Goldfish author, Serena Diosa, who is doing the formatting, but she's still having trouble with shifting images and can only promise "very soon."

If you remember, the cookbook is a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties (www.bbbswillgrundy.org), in honor of the mentoring relationship between Melissa's younger brother Brian and the village maintenance man, Steve Barnes, who teaches Brian to cook.

Serena is also formatting Bryony for Kindle, but again, the graphics are misbehaving. Thank you, dear readers, for all your patience. In the meantime, I am busy working on the editing for Visage, and we hope to have a few sneak previews of its art on the Bryony Facebook page (www.facebook.com/BryonySeries).

On Thursday, we are back in the studio to begin recording the last third of Bryony, the audio book. We're hoping three long sessions will complete the project. We've had a month's break due to finals at the University of Francis, which houses the Digital Arts Recording Studio (DARA), and remodeling in the studio itself.

Recording the book are Heather King and Alby Odum of the Christian rock band Daniel's Window (www.danielswindow.com); however, the audio version will contains music clips from James Onohan's offical Bryony CD, The Best-Loved Compositions of John Simons, a unique feature that will truly bring the book alive. Stay tuned!
