When I finished writing a children’s book months ago, I was challenged by the prospect of illustrating it.  I couldn’t draw in a cartoon style no matter how much I’ve tried.  Because I did not want to pay someone else to do the drawings, I decided to paint the book cover.  It did not turn out too badly.  Next, I painted a few illustrations for the interior.  The results were surprisingly good.  Finally, I started the process of having it published as an ebook (to be available in Kindle, Nook, etc.).  Hopefully, it will be out before the end of this year.  I will keep you posted.
