But if they accept pre-illustrated work on maybe a different series, I would love a shot at it.

And let your daughter know that she can design her cover long before the book is out. It gives her time to build hype.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi and also let you know that my "Back to School" sales promotions for authors and publishers are ending soon.

If interested in cover design or book illustration at less than publisher's normally discounted pricing and want to reserve your spot in the short amount of time left in 2008 (and my calendar is filling fast) visit my site or call me:

Let me know what you think of my work...

My time is a little tight. I am now working on the sequel to my second novel and rarely have time to be online. Take care and speak to you soon. Eddie Cruz

I thank you for your comment. I can't wait to see my book in print. I see you also liked the "Left Behind" series. Have you read "Soon" another book series by Tim Lahaye? It's a great series. If you haven't, you should consider getting the series. Thanks once again. Keep in touch. Eddie Cruz

About Me:: I grew up on the East Coast but moved out to Seattle, WA in 2006 after my husband of 31 years passed away. I live with my daughter and her husband in a rented house in a beautiful neighborhood. I attend the Japanese Presbyterian Church where I've found a wonderful group of friends and great opportunities to serve God and make a difference in the lives of others. Up until Jan. 15th this year, I worked at Benchmark Electronics in Redmond. The company chose to move out of the WA facility and I found myself unemployed. That is not a bad thing though. I have written a Children's Book called How Timbo and Trevor Got Together and it is based on the true story of Owen, the baby hipppo that was rescued after a Tsunami in Dec. of 2004, taken to a Wildlife Park and befriended by an old tortoise named Mzee. Though I've seen several books about the true story, mine is the only fictional version that I know of. For any teachers of young aspiring writers, I think it would be fun to use one of the true story versions and my book to compare the differences between fictional and non-fictional accounts of an event and then challenge the kids to pick out a true story from the headlines and make up a fictional story based on it. I'd love to get some feedback on that idea.

Favorite Books, Authors, Writers:: I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie. I also enjoy books by Christian authors like Lauraine Snelling and Janette Oke. I like reading good Children's books. I met a local author by the name Bonnie Becker and loved her book "A Visitor for Bear". I live on the same street as Arthur Dorros who wrote several great books for kids. I grew up with and still love Thornton Burgess's Mother West Wind stories.
