It’s been a long road but the new book will be available shortly. It’s close enough that I am now preselling it on my web site. I am waiting on a second proof copy to arrive but I am confident that if this is not ‘IT’ that the next one will be.
Actually if I hadn’t messed up the cover the first time around it would be in print right now. There is nothing like seeing a printed copy in your hand.
It looks perfect on the computer. Your order a proof expecting on minor changes. You run to the mailbox, it’s here! You rip open the mailer with your first proof, all excited to see it and then it just jumps in your face and say “ARE YOU BLIND??’
I wasn’t sure how to answer that …..
The new book has five, count them FIVE new boats. Admit it, you buy the book for the free plans. So I gave you a bunch this time. Two rowing boats, a Pirogue, a kids kayak (long over due) and as much as I hate to admit it, a Recreational Kayak. Yea, yea, I know! You guys love them but I just hate them. But, since I really need your money I caved in. I am so ashamed….
I wish I had kept tract of what day I started the book. I know it was in mid January because that is when I brought Makin’ Waves into the shop to start the restoration. I remember before I could get started on her I decided to write the new book. It’s getting really close to January again and Makin’ Waves is just now being taken apart.
It looks like, by the time the book is printed and makes it to Amazon and my store it will be 10 months. No wonder I am so sick of it!
Now for a bit more advertising. In my new book I have a couple of row boats. One is really just begging for a sliding seat. I finally finished up the plans for my sliding seat rowing unit. Just in time to go with the book. Smart huh?
Not a really good photo but I can’t seem to locate the good ones. But keep it in mind if you need or just want a drop-in sliding seat unit. It is listed in the plans section of the Kudzu Craft Store.
Now I need to go check my bank balance and see if I can hold out till it starts selling.
