Need A Paperback to Read This Spring/ Summer ?

                               

I have read this book, and I have been meaning to tell others about it.

  "Flybait's Lament"
 is about a very odd-ball yet strangely  
interesting little town. 

 One-of-a-kind, and hilariously described characters 
living together in Flybait, Texas.
Well, that is just it's nick-name.

 Characters are so imaginative and interesting 

and they all inter-weave into a fantastically interesting story. 

This book has loads of fun characters and situations. 

 I literally laughed out loud many times!  

If you need a bit of mystery and escape in your life, 

with twists, turns, puzzles, murder, love,
 and laugh out loud fun, you have to read this book . 

 The author,( Danny) is willing to mail you a copy  

... he will sign it for you too. 
or you can order it through amazon.com . 

Send him an email to request a  signed paperback copy of 

"Flybait's Lament"

a review on amazon .com:

here is a quote from the reviewer on amazon:

"Once Langone gets all the guffaws and hi-jinx out of the way, he constructs a plot with intrigue and pathos. The author weaves an engaging story with interesting twists and turns in the second half of the book. The characters deepen and grow beyond their superficial oddities, becoming instantly more compelling and appealing. Readers begin to feel sympathetic for the inhabitants of this down-on-its-luck town, where the one traffic light is purchased out of a sense of false optimism rather than actual need, as the author gifts readers with solid writing and a quick descriptive flair." 

Quill says: With scatological silliness and macabre mayhem, the grimly goofy inhabitants of this backwater town deal with mystery and intrigue."

Yea, You get it now...?...An slap-stick Comedic, Murder Mystery

I loved it

  *  This is an adult book , well,...I would rate it PG-13.  

 Danny also is a wonderful poet. look for "Keys To The Condo"

  

Some of the children's poetry is slowly but surely

 being transferred into children's books 

and Danny has asked me to make illustrations/ pictures

 to go along with some of these cute children's tales in poem form.

We hope to have our first children's book

 out before The Christmas Season.  

Titled, "Creeper" 

see my latest blog post (July 12th) 

about the children's books and my illustrations for them.

Hugs to you

Red-bellied Woodpecker Visit

 Hello There Red!

Here are a few photos of a Red-Bellied Woodpecker that comes here in the spring and summer.  He is bigger than the little downy woodpeckers that I have spied this winter, eating suet.  This guy likes the bird seed that I put out in the feeder.  He will eat with all the other birds without fighting, as you can see.  He does have an impressive beak, don't you think?  But, I would love to see one of those Pillated Woodpeckers that can be twice this guys size.., I've heard.  Spring has sprung a bit but the chill is still lingering.  I hope the snow that we are expecting tonight won't chase this gorgeous woodpecker away.

I am all moved into my new art studio that I share with a fellow artist.  Lisa is an abstract, colorful artist and we are very similar in our likes and attitudes.  She loves texture in her art also!

I'm working on a children 's book, drawing lots of  illustrations for a friends book about a cat named Creeper. His name is Danny Langone and he has the blog titled, "Ta-duhhh" over in my linked blogs that I follow.  He is  a very talented and witty author and a good person.  Check out his blog. and his books.  I am fine tuning the pictures a bit right now and trying out different painting styles .  I would like to try water-coloring the illustrations.

also... I am loving the fun of using my silicone nature molds of turtles, frogs, bees, butterflies.  I have tried making them look metallic in finishing them but colorful (green, blue, purple, orange)   and adding them to hair pins, necklaces, pins. 

Time to get to work.  I have a lot to get going on.


be back soon!    KAT
