Four Authors at SUNDAY STREETS ALIVE

Come on out and see me and other local authors Andy Bunch, Phil Silver and Susie Slanina at Sunday Streets Alive this Sunday (Aug. 18) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We'll be at Block Ten (flanked by Washington and Columbia streets on the east and west, 6th and 8th streets on the north and south).

Susie and Phil have books for children, I have books for tweens and young teens, and Andy has books for teens and older. Something for everyone! Plus there are many activities at Block Ten and several other locations along the 4.5 mile walk/bike route. We'll be offering a bike decorating activity.

Don't miss this premiere Vancouver event! And please, do visit and, if you can,buy a book or two and support your local authors.

Another Editorial Pass on PLAYHOUSE PHANTOM

This floor plan appears in the book. As does the 2nd
floor as well as other illustrations. Click to enlarge.

I've gone over the PLAYHOUSE PHANTOM PDF proof and found some changes needing made. I'll go over them with my editor and make them before ordering the hard copy proof*. (I should have that next week.)

The count down to release is on!


* I could still use an outside reader. Any volunteers (I'll give you a free, signed copy)?


And don't forget to come see me and children's and young adult writers Andy Bunch, Phil Silver and Susie Slanina at Sunday Streets Alive on the 18th (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) in downtown Vancouver.

Sunday Streets Alive with Bikes and Books and More

Here's our location at Sunday Streets Alive.  10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 18 (booth 8).

Come out and see us (Phil Silver, Andy Bunch, myself and maybe a fourth author).

We'll have a cool bike decorating opportunity and books for signing and purchase.

Plus there's just tons of family activities all over the city.

Bring your bike or walk the 4.5 miles. It will be a day you won't forget.

PHANTOM PLAYHOUSE Layout/Formatting Finished

Today I finished the layout and formatting as well as the Table of Contents for PLAYHOUSE PHANTOM. That means I move onto the cover art and then it's off to the printer for a proof copy (after which is the final editing process).

And remember, I'm appearing at Sunday Streets Alive on August 18 with three other authors. Be there or be square.
