Dear Friends,

I wanted to reach out to those of you who generously pre-ordered my book, “The Elephant in the Room.”  Since I began this process with Inkshares, I have learned a lot about the world of publishing and the time it takes to get any book, let alone a unique one like mine, out into the world.  

When you supportively pre-ordered the book months ago, I’m sure you expected it to arrive in a reasonable amount of time.  I was admittedly naïve about what a reasonable amount of time was to design, edit and proof a book, and get it into bookstores. Working with the talented, enthusiastic designers and editors at Inkshares and Girl Friday has been very gratifying and only made my art/storybook better.

The release date is now mid-March, even though we hope to get your advance copies to you a bit sooner. There will be some events, art shows, etc. to celebrate the release and I’d love to see you there so I can thank you in person.

I am very proud and excited to share the book with you all.  And, again, I apologize if you expected it sooner and hope it will be

Thanks again

 - JB
