"At our cabin these orb came out to play".

Excerpt from my book which has orb-inspired poetry throughout.  

My original idea was to share my orb photographs and some of the favourite quotes I had saved over the years from many authors.

Choosing from thousands of orb photographs and then when placing them into my book, I began to 'feel' the energy and their mystery. Sometimes words flowed.  I wrote as words came and I included some of this poetry and orb insights in my complete manuscript.

Last night I finished working on the proofs for my childrens' book, with frogs as the characters.  The message is of happiness.  It is now being critiqued prior to going to the publishers.  I am so pleased to have it to this stage, as most writers will know, the edits sometimes seem to never end.  

It has taken time but I feel comfortable with the results, both with my illustrating and also the manuscript, although the final result could see changes after I look through the feedback from the proof readings.

The green tree frogs visit our garden in the wet season and I love to listen to their call, especially after and during the rain storms.  As I have lived in the tropics now for years, I have many photos of these beautiful creatures.

In fact I am about to publish a children's book where the main characters are frogs.  I am excited about this new book and will be finishing the manuscript and illustrations this week.  I will post some previews as it goes through the publishing cycle.  It is an exciting time and I am still deciding on a title name and the cover page is still to be designed by my publisher.
