Phew.. another book has been completed and is on its way to a client.

A South African Adventure contains photos from Ben and Jennifer’s Honeymoon in South Africa. The photos are breathtaking from Elephants and Tiger, to Lion and Monkeys.. each page brings to life the memories from their glorious trip.

I want to thank Jen for working with me to create this wonderful keepsake. I truly enjoyed creating this book for you and look forward to working on future projects together!

Now this was a fun book to work on! “The Neverending Story” is a medieval themed book that introduces us to the members of the Heartland Study Group, introducing each member and sharing their stories for the group.

The book was a lot of fun to put together and includes a very custom designed front and back dust-jacket that I hand designed in Photoshop to complete the medieval feel of the project.
I want to thank Jill for working with me on this book… her help in putting this volume together was tremendous and publishing the book would have been much more difficult without her assistance!

We just completed work on another book - this one is titled: “Letters Home”.

Letters Home is a book collection that contains the letters of John F Tracy to his fiancee while he was in the Army during the Vietnam War. A prolific writer, the 3 book series contains over 1150 pages of letters that John wrote while in training and during combat.

I want to thank Heather Miles for working with me on this project. Her efforts to gather all those letters, photocopy and mail them to me for scanning was most appreciated.

I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did putting them together..

I just wanted to take a few moments and say THANK YOU! to all the clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past few months… you really have been wonderful! I believe every one of your books came out that much better thanks to all your feedback and advice. Thank you!!

And.. I want to say Thank you to all my new clients that have a book either in progress or scheduled with me - Spring has been (and will be) a wonderfully busy time for me! Here are a few projects that I will be working on over the next few weeks - stay tuned for book previews!

• Photography Book - Bobby Miller, the fabulous Studio 54 photographer, has signed up with me to produce a hardcover photography book with photos from NYC. In addition, Bobby and I will be working to produce a full featured website and digital renditions of his book for online sale and viewing on the latest portable technology… I’m really excited!
• Letters Home - another very exciting project. I am currently putting the finishing touches on a 3 book series that contain letters Heather’s father sent to her mom while he was serving our country in Vietnam. I scanned and image corrected over 1150 pages for these books - and Heather had to make photocopies of all the individual letters to ship to me.. it was a lot of work!  The books are coming out great and will make a fantastic keepsake for her entire family!
• Biography - Elke Bachik is an author who writes Biographies for family and friends.  She is working with me to publish a Biography of her husband (Mike) who was an Air Force Pilot in WWII. His story is absolutely amazing - how young he was when he joined the Air Force and was flying and fixing planes. Elke writing is really amazing and I’m happy to be working with her on this project.
• Blog-to-Book Conversion - Rachel’s Mom maintains a blog that she has been working on for the past few years. The blog is about artwork challenges that she works on and then posts pictures of her results. Her watercolor paintings are very nice and her discussion on things like how to create a journal are very interesting to read.  This will be another fun blog-to-book conversion!
• Cookbook - Ken contacted me a couple months back and wants to create a cookbook for a charity that his wife runs. The recipe book contains photographs from Ken’s collection and fits perfectly with the charity which helps folks setup vegetable gardens in their backyard! I look forward to beginning this project with Ken and working with him on future projects.
• Remembrance Book - Heather and I will be working together on a book converted from an online blog that contains thoughts and progression notes from her Mom’s care at a WellBridge center. The Blog is filled with both Journal entries and Guestbook notes that are really touching. The final book will be presented to her Dad this Mother’s Day.
• Poetry Book - Lisa contacted me to work on a book that contains her poetry and photography. Lisa’s work is really quite good; she has a unique prose style which is consistent throughout her work.  The poems are elegantly written and truly makes you stop and think.   Her poetry is going to make a great book!
• Honeymoon Photo Book - Jen had a great idea… take her honeymoon photos and turn it into a fantastic hardcover book for her husband’s birthday. So, I’ll be working with Jen to create a 11×13 book of this most memorable occasion!  I can’t wait to see the photos….
• Harriet - Book 8 & 9! - Harriet is just simply amazing… she is already 18 poems into book 9! Book 8 will be a children’s book about a Magic Staircase with illustrations by her son-in-law. Can’t wait to work on this one….

Phew! That’s some list.. and I have 6 other potential clients who have contacted me for more information before signing on to create books.

Once again, thanks to everyone - I truly love what I do and it is such a side benefit to meet so many really wonderful people in the process.

Thx - Andy.

Hi - Just wanted to talk about another project I recently completed… it is a book called “Just South of Sunrise” and is the autobiography of Joan Hunter Moore and tells her story as she grows up in the Western US, starts her family, moves away and eventually comes back home.

I want to personally thank Nancy Coffey who was an absolute pleasure to work with on this project. The book was a true collaborative effort and was a wonderful surprise for her mother’s birthday. From designing the cover of the book, to the personal notes on inside dust-jacket flap all the way through placement of family photos within each book’s chapter, Nancy was very helpful and together we created a book that will treasured by her family for generations. So, my thanks again to Nancy for a great partnership of this project!

I want to thank Joe for his patience and help with the project and also thank the Blurb staff for their excellent technical support… together we were able to create this wonderful collection.
