Thirty Years in the Making
It’s a book! I’ve approved the proofs (spoiler alert: they’re awesome) and the first print copies are winging their way to my mailbox in Oro Valley! Lullaby in Red is a visually sumptuous children’s picture book for all ages based on the song of the same name from my first album, Anchored to the Wind. Expanded with new verses and re-recorded at Barrel Cactus Studio in Fountain Hills (yes, a free download of the song is included), this updated story is illustrated by Paige Ozma Ashmore’s fantastical pastels.
After looking at what the authors of other children’s books are doing these days, I chose to go with the 8-1/2” X 11” paperback format as the best option to keep the book affordable while preserving the detail of Paige’s artwork.
Lullaby in Red is available Print-On-Demand through Bookbaby’s online store, and roll out to their international Print-On-Demand partners throughout September-October. Also, we’re going to get some of these bad boys autographed when Paige is out here in Arizona next month, and make those available in my store right here on Jaycroft.
