Today, September 7, 2012 is a big day for me. My first book, Drabsville is published. After several revisions, I received the hard copy in a package yesterday and quickly checked it over and over. To my delight it passed the final inspection, but to make sure I reviewed it again this morning over my morning coffee. With one click of a button on my laptop, I approved it and it became available for purchase. The idea for this book was conceived over 30 years ago, so it is especially meaningful for me that it has finally given birth.
Drabsville, is a picture book about Matthew John Paul Abernathy, a bright boy that lives in a very drab town. After he dreams in color of how to change his surroundings to a more colorful environment, he succeeds in making his home, and town a brighter more colorful place. This educational story introduces the primary colors and shows how to mix the secondary colors. The importance of color in our environment is shown visually through a comparison of dull gray and colorful environments. This paperback book is available on my Createspace page and will be available on Amazon.com in a week. It also will be available as ebook within a couple of weeks.
