Illustrator Sue Raymond has completed the pictures for “Tommy’s ABC Picnic.” Now I have to decide how to format the book. I have to figure out how to place text on top of the pictures so there aren’t too many pages that would make the book cost prohibiting. Once that is done the cover of the book comes next. That in its self is a migraine waiting to happen. I take my hat off to anyone who does this daily. I usually want to throw my computer out the window halfway through the process.
Prayers would be appreciated as I endeavor to complete this book in a timely manner. Formatting a novel is definitely easier to complete than a children’s picture book. I have six more children’s books to do along with writing several books for Declan before I can go back to finish up my new fantasy novel.
Sometimes I just want to quit writing and be great-gramma to my boys. There are four novels screaming in my head to get them written down on paper at least. Such is the daily grind of the Indie author.
May the Lord bless all who are reading this post. May your days be filled with love and fun.

Lady Laindora is taking a break from writing ‘Tyriff’s Revenge’ to allow Author Sue Raymond time to complete her next children’s story ‘Tommy’s ABC Picnic’. She has engaged graphic artist Sue Raymond to help illustrate the story. Author Sue Raymond writes after daily being great-gramma to Tommy and Declan.
Lady Laindora has went to the Kingdom of Surflex to check on how Kerlia and Ergogene are doing in their struggle to bring Tyriff’s wraith to an end. Last time Lady Laindora checked on Kerlia, Kerlia was contemplating how to bridge the void to discover Tyriff’s hidden lair. Stay tune for updates on Lady Laindora and author Sue Raymond’s journeys.
