A Sneak Peek at our New Book – And Sometimes Y

landj_3

Julia and I are super-excited to learn that our new book, And Sometimes Y, will be published by Do Life Right, Inc. by the end of the summer! This book follows the adventures of the characters of The Howling Vowels— Alexa and her four best pals–three years after the conclusion of that book. It also introduces a new human character and several memorable animal characters.

We haven’t seen all of the illustrations yet, but knowing Heather Newman’s work, we know that they will be amazing. Here is a sneak peek: the cover and the first chapter. Stay tuned!

MailboxThanks to everyone who has inquired about Peanut’s health. Despite the hairline fracture he sustained on May 21, he is recovering very quickly. (In fact, we are hard-pressed to keep him from jumping up and down onto furniture.)  He will be x-rayed next week and, with luck, will be able to ditch the splint and pressure bandages (and the clear plastic bootie, handily fashioned from an IV bag and strip of gauze, which he has to wear whenever he goes outside.) The vet’s office made him this duck decal as a Clean Bandage Award!

Way to go, Peanut!

  1. I agree, and I will be sure to let Heather Newman know that you like what she has done!

  2. What an accolade! I will be sure to do a special post as soon as the book is available. It will be published as a paper book and an e-book at the same time; later this fall, it will also be available as an audio book.

  3. Looking forward to “And sometimes Y” very much. I will reread “The Howling Vowels” but not until August 1 so it will all be fresh in my mind when the new book arrives. I’m more excited about this new book than I was for Harry Pottter!

  4. LOVE the cover for And Sometimes Y! Some of the characters look just like I imagined them while reading The Howling Vowels. Can’t wait to hold the book in my hand.
    Way to go!
