Hello Readers,

I recently heard from Inkshares and it looks like a production schedule should be coming my way. This is great news! It means we are closer to getting the book in your hands. I am waiting for final confirmation on the release date and will announce as soon as I get it. The production and publishing process does have several steps so it will take some time. The manuscript has to go through a round of Inkshares edits that may or may not be needed. This process usually takes about a month or so. In addition, the document itself needs to be set up for printing, making sure all the text lines up correctly for each page. And, not to mention assigning an ISBN number to make the book available for retail. Plus, we have to finalize the book cover. There’s a lot more detailed items, but that’s the gist. 

In the meantime, I wanted to share some other EXCITING NEWS: I have recently become a contributor to Intermezzo Magazine – a food and travel publication available by subscription, at bookstores, or newsstands across the country. My first contribution – a gorgeous photo of potatoes – can be seen in the current issue available now; and I’m working on something for the next/future issue.

Final note: The Love Fool website is moving along. I will update as soon as it’s ready to launch.

Things are bubbling, so that’s good news....  Ciao for now!  -LP
