How my words and her art become one.

My new book Detective Dwayne Drake and the Case of the Mathematical Misfit is slowly going through the process of becoming reality! I'm really excited to share the work of the new illustrator, Yuffie Yuliana. She is fantastic.

Check out the preview of the new cover. This will be another children's book for early elementary students and teaches simple addition. If you're looking for a dynamic book that's fun for you to read and entertaining to your child or your students. This book fits the bill.  

The process of making a cover is simple but not easy. First, the artist sketches it out.  This can take many hours.  After Yuffie finishes she asks for my input. Once she receives my feedback she adds the colors and then layers on the text. This process usually takes a couple of days and sometimes many conversations back and forth.

Then once the colors and text have been added a beautiful cover is created!
