Olivia Ocelot Is Living On Etsy Now!

I now have my book "Olivia Ocelot Comes to the Rescue: Adventures in the Rainforest" on my Etsy store. It's called AnneJantzDotCom. The really great thing about buying my book through my Etsy store is I will be sending you the book, and I can hand sign it and dedicate it to whomever you choose. I know I always value and cherish books I've purchased directly from thier authors.

I'm also cooking up a newsletter which will follow the progress of my second Olivia Ocelot book, "Olivia Ocelot Saves the Day: Adventures in the Saguaro Desert" which is set in Arizona, U.S.A. Stay tuned, friends!

I just finished a portrait of my friend Carlota's dog, Bandit. Adorable dog.

Olivia Ocelot Comes to the Rescue: Adventures in the Rainforest makes it onto Amazon.com

So after 7 months of blood, sweat, and tearing a lot of my hair out, my first children's book is on Amazon. Sooooooooo Cool. All you need to do to purchase it, is go to Amazon.com and type the title into the search window. VOILA!  I'm assuming the next one will go smoother. In fact I will use the first book as a template for the second one. Olivia Ocelot will be going to Arizona in the next episode to solve a problem for her friend and cousin, Bob Bobcat.

The book is on Amazon tonight. I'm not sure when it will be listed, a day or two, I think. It will also be on Kindle.  I am so happy to have it completed. I plan to start the next Olivia Ocelot book soon. This time she'll be in the desert in Southern Arizona. My grandchildren are working on a separate story, Jupiter and Russell's Road Trip. It is about our dogs going on a trip to visit their cousins, Olive and Birdy, our son's dogs near Washington D.C. I will be illustrating it.

This Week Olivia Ocelot Comes to Amazon.com

At long last, I need to look at one more proof, and if all is well, then I can place my first children's book "Olivia Ocelot Comes to the Rescue: Adventures in the Rainforest" onto Amazon. It seemed to take a lot longer than it actually did. I started to write and illustrate it at the end of November last year, and so 8 months later it's ready. I'm sure that the next book will be quicker. The book will be available as a real paperback book and also as, a Kindle.

Heading into the Holidays

Whew it surely has been a while since I wrote in this blog! I'm loving my job @ Ghafari. I use Revit a lot and occasionally AutoCAD. I'm also working on  my first children's book,  "Olivia Ocelot". I'm doing the illustrations amd also writing it. I've also been doing some weaving.
