Book 3 of the Ancient Elements series is now in its final editing stage! This ship is one of the illustrations in the book drawn by my wonderful illustrator, Marsha Ottum Owen. The book’s cover art is still in the development stage.We hope to publish by the end of June, or early July. If you’d like to be notified when it’s available, use this contact form found on this webpage. I can hardly wait! A 6th grade teacher at Kennedy Middle School recently read an Advanced Reading Copy (ARC) to her class and sent me their comments. Below is a sampling of some of their comments.
