Save the date –– 03/17/2025. "The Adventures of Castaway Wilson" will be released on St. Patrick's Day. This is my first coffee table book meant to be displayed in a prominent place in order to spark conversation. The front cover features original artwork created by J.T. Egley, a local artist who resides in my hometown. J.T. decided to donate his work of art to help raise funds for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. The high bidder in the silent auction will soon receive an autographed hard copy to go along with his custom 18x24 art piece displayed in his Tennessee home. Thanks to J.T.'s generous donation, $500 was raised to kickstart coffee table book sales which begin in ten days.
Writers are encouraged to "stay in their lane." I've never been known for my ability to paint within the lines. Instead, I'm all over the map just like Wilson was for the time I had temporary custody of him. I'm already working on my next project that will showcase our town's efforts to introduce four outdoor pickleball courts. In a time when division seems to be a new way of life in the world, it's time to showcase what happens when people from all walks of life unite for the betterment of all. "Field of Pickleball Dreams" will be my contribution.
Have a great day.
