Amelia, the chihuahua

Last night Amelia wanted the last of the whale crackers...it was crazy funny...she'd get her little chihuahua head inside the box to get to the crackers and then walk around with  the box stuck on her head. I tried to capture the moment with my camera but every time I went to snap the picture, she  moved, so all I got was a blur. Wish you could've seen it!

The History of Ricky

Over the past 2 years I've been working on the story line. It's gone through many transformations in that time. This summer I sent the script to my cousin Kirby Reints and he edited the grammar for me. Last week I met with Lauren, a friend and we set up a action list. One of the items on the list was to set up a blog.  Next week I'll be meeting with my illustrator, Albert to develop a business plan. If we can come to an agreement then we'll move forward toward publishing. Right now, I plan to self publish the book. I will use a company that I recently used to publish a book of photography.

Welcome to my blog!

A friend suggested to me that I create a blog to have an avenue to tell you about my upcoming book. I'm very excited to tell you that I've got a great illustrator who's going to make my story come alive. Thank you, Albert Sorrentino!
Watch for updates about "Ricky" the roach and his adventures at Johnson Elementary School.
I'll also be sharing photos that I've taken as well as an occasional family photo or funny story. Also, watch for pictures of my dog Amelia.
