The simple survival manual is now in rough draft and at the publishers. I will know in a few days how much work will be needed to complete the book. I think I will go with an ebook this time.

I now have permission to use of some of J.C. Rankin, Seniors, mountain man photos. I love his work. In the future, as he releases them to me, I will feature them on the blog.

Keep in mind, his pics are copyrighted and so is my blog, so do not steal J.C.'s work. I am sure that would upset my publisher deeply.
I appreciate his assitance to the book covers!

You can visit his site http://www.rankinsaddlery.com/to see more of his work.

Indian Dreamer is also being edited as you read this entry. I have put about eight hours into the book editing process today and should be finished with it tomorrow. Then it goes back to the publishers and we wait until they have a chance to bleed red ink on it once more. This time next month it should be at the printers.

We are still not sure how many pages it will be or the actual cost to a reader, but I suspect it will be over 500 pages. A lot depends on how much the publisher decides to cut during the editing process.
