Never Catch a Netherpott cover

The story for "Never Catch a Netherpott" started as an assignment I had done while attending The Institute of Children's Literature.  I wrote it intending to submit it to magazines as a short story. 

It evolved.

I started messing around with drawing again, and to my pleasant surprise, I could still decently draw.  So, after some edits, some hours logged on GIMP (a program like Photoshop), and learning a desktop publisher, I put together this little book.

After some serious thought, I decided to go the "self-publishing" route.  Since I did the art as well as the story, and the cover design and interior layouts, I figured I could give it a try on my own.  I figured most traditional publishers do most of that work in-house, and I may have gone beyond the phase in which they are looking to use, in terms of writers.

So, no publishing contract, no bragging rights, etc.  Though I do know this.  I followed through with something.  I kept going, when normally I would've stopped or started something else.  I learned a ton.  I am having fun.  I am hard at work on the 2nd book.

Not bad.

And hey, please take a look.  I would be humbled.
