The Update on my book
OKAY FRIENDS!
It’s official! The Art beneath the Cage has officially entered formatting stages and has an illustrator. About an hour ago, I finally decided on who I was going to use.
She is unbelievably sweet and is so encouraging. I have a proof, but i’m not to sure how comfortable she would be of me showing it off. I’m so excited!!

The creative journey of self-publishing is an exciting one, filled with challenges and triumphs. As I progress with my book, 'The Art Beneath the Cage,' I’m exploring the intricacies of the formatting process, which is a pivotal step in bringing a manuscript to life. The illustrator I've chosen plays a crucial role in visual storytelling, enhancing the narrative with vibrant imagery that resonates with readers.
