It's here!!!!
I'm talking about the proof copy for the first installment of the BryonySeries prequel Before the Blood.
The little box was waiting for me when I came home from dinner with a friend last night. Yes, it needs a little tweaking here and there. But the concept came out perfectly!
The cover's matte finish and design give it an old dusty finish. The font reminds me of the font in my mother's childhood books that I also read as a child.
I've been working on this project so long (2010), it's a little surreal to finally see it come together.
Over the next week and a little at a time, I'll comb through it very carefully. Despite a few glitches here and there, we are right on schedule.

Now, here's where to find information and after that, the stories.
Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time): Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.

Artworks: All for the love of books and reading
I'm always a little perplexed when kids don't like to read.
Some of the most happiest hours of my childhood – and my adulthood – have been
spent between the pages of a good book.
Herring said: "I have kept a couple of spiral notebooks
consisting mostly of of poems to my grandchildren, heart-warming adventures
about my grandson Will and Papa Bill, letters to friends in story form, some
stories about days gone by and some fictional things.
