Hello all,
Today is the first day of Children's Book Week and to kick-start it I'd like to announce the release of my children's nonfiction picture book, Water Play, Book I: The Water Cycle.
Don't forget to enter below for a chance to win a totebag full of Guardian Angel Publishing children's books OR a critique from children's author Margot Finke. Good luck!
The Water Cycle is the first in a series of four about the weather, published by Guardian Angel Publishing.
Every year about this time, the weather starts to go all wild and wacky in the Sacramento Valley. Last week the temps tickled the 100 degree mark; today we are struggling to make the low 70s and rain is on the near term horizon.
But Sacramento is not the only place where weather can be unsettled this time of year. Recalling the many other places I've lived, whether the southeast, north central, east, or southwest, changing weather patterns are on the weather menu all over the country. In North Dakota, they say if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. And it's still hurricane season until the end of November.
Just for fun, here's a short collection of weather rhymes to kick things off for fall. Maybe one or more will ring familiar wherever you are. Enjoy.
"Fog"
When I look outside my window,
And fog is all around,
There’s nothing I can see at all,
From tree tops to the ground.
"Rain"
Drip. Drip. Patter, pit.
Little drops of rain that hit
My umbrella. Under it,
I’m a perfect fit.
"Wind" (Haiku)
I can hear the sound
Of a soulful wind outside,
Blowing in the trees.
"Snow"
Crystal flakes go swirling by,
Falling from a cloud-filled sky.
Will they leave us like a sigh,
Or drift in snow piles ten feet high?
"Hail"
What’s that on my window pane,
Tapping with a Rat-A-Tat?
Cold has quickly frozen rain
Hail is falling, just like that!
I dunno: gun, jungle, legacy… seems like The Phantom to me, yeah?
This whole thing has to be some version of Defenders of the Earth, right? Flash Gordon, the Phantom, Mandrake…
With Darwyn Cooke covers, my interest is at least piqued.
It’s gotta be the Phantom. The Phantom is an inherited role so people think he’s a living ghost, not a succession of people. And #AllHail sounds like it should be followed by “the king,” which, given the other teasers, sounds like this is a sequel/reboot/spinoff of King’s Watch.
I am the Ghost Who Crouches…
it is the Phantom.
But it’s not a Walker, it’s Lothar.
In the end of Kings Watch the Phantom sacrifices himself to save the world. Lothar takes up the mantle and says “I’m the guy, until you find the next guy.”
I’m very excited about this! Great direction for the character!
Someone with good core strength. Try doing that pose at home: good luck.
Okay, I’m with Phantom too. Jungle, costume, gun.
Yup. I go with the Phantom, given the other King Features action heroes.
He’s excited, whoever he is! That holster creates an… interesting silhouette.
The holsters on his thigh, not his groin.
