It's Story Time is a good way to promote not only their work but provide children with a wide range of good fiction to capture their imaginations. (less)

It will be a children's picture book called, Janoose & The Fall Feather Fair and it's a sequel for my first children's book, Janoose The Goose. This book I
co-wrote with my grandson, Luke when he was seven year old. In the book, the Fox returns to Free Range Farm and he wants something from Janoose. All the sketching for the book are finished and just need to be painted.
I'm currently finishing a book of my short stories: Short Stories and Other Imaginings For The Reading Spot. The book is being edited now and next I will put it together and be designing it before it goes to the printer.
Then I'll begin painting Janoose & The Fall Feather Fair.

Thank you for asking! ~JD(less)

“We hold one another close in this, our last moment and kiss. Your goodbye is in our lips, good luck wishes shine in those robin's egg blue eyes.”
J.D. Holiday, Stories And Imaginings For The Reading Spot

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Albert Einstein

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Lao Tzu

“I must have my share in the conversation…”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
