Missing Jewels. Must Find.

We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog for a moment of blatant self promotion. My book is out!!! Quick, look to the left panel. Yes, that one. Where the Jewels Are is the first of ten books that I wrote in a series called Tales From The Throne. It's a very sweet story about a Princess on a quest to find a precious jewel. If you have kids, or know kids, in the 8 -10 year old range, what are you waiting for? Operators are standing by. Your very own copy can be flying through the mail to your waiting hands in a matter of days. Order here.

The next book is already in process. Because I am self-published, I do all the desktop publishing myself, including cover layout and formatting, so I am working closely with my artist, Sara Smith on all the illustrations. We're both working as fast as possible to get The King's Guard up next. We just had to follow a girl's story with a boy's story. My goal is to have it ready by the end of the month. Fingers crossed. After the second book, hopefully we'll have worked out all the kinks so all ten stories can be available, well, when they are.

If you are interested in being on an email list to get updates on the next releases, sign up on my website wwww.dianasymons.com. I'll keep postings there on release status. There is also a page for kids to send me pictures they draw of the stories. Take a picture of them, or scan them and send them to me (diana@dianasymons.com) and I'll post them in a photo album. I'd love to have kid comments in the guest book as well. If you have a child who might be interested in giving me a cover quote for future books, I'll send a copy of the text and a free book when it's published.

Now back to your blog reading now in progress....
