Things are Moving Along!

Proof read the press release for Calbert: The Second-Grade Cowboy. It makes me want to read the book to see what happens and I already know how it ends! LOL  Obviously, I didn't write the press release.  Everyday we get closer and closer to the publishing date.

My friends and family have been surprised to find out I have written this book.  Now that they know, I have even more friends and family to be excited with.

    Book back from copy editing! Just one more meeting and then hopefully on to printing.  This is very exciting, I can hardly wait to see the end result!

More from Calbert the Cowboy - Facing the Bully

      The room shook with the sound of an explosion. “Wow, did you feel that?”

     “Yes, and I heard it too,” Ernie replied. He was speaking faster than before.

“What is happening?”

     “I don’t know!” I answered.

     “We better forget the box of props and get out of here,” Ernie suggested. But

when Ernie grabs the doorknob, it came off in his hand.

     “What are we going to do?” I shout. No answer came from Ernie.

     “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS?” Ernie and I screamed at the same

time.

     “I can’t see a thing. I think things are getting bad out there!”

     Ernie shouts back, “Me too!”

     “The lights keep flickering off and on. We have to get out of here and fast.”

      “My heart is beating so hard. I think my heart might pop out of my chest,” I add.

      

      At that moment, a blasting, ear-piercing sound starts ringing through the air. It

feels that my ears are bleeding, and even covering them doesn’t seem to help. I look at

Ernie, and he is trying to plug his ears too. I yell, “What is that?” Ernie cannot hear me

over the loud ringing.

            I look at Ernie again between flashes of lights, and I see that his face is red but

not the mad kind of red. He looks like he is going to cry. “Come on, we have to think

now,” I yell as I shake Ernie by the shoulders.

The "Real" Calbert unknowingly helps with idea for the second book.

"Mom, have you ever been on a double Decker bus?" "No, I haven't."  "What about a double Decker train?"  "Yes, I have.  My seat was on the bottom deck, but we were able to go up stairs and look out windows of the top deck." In response to that he responds, "Well, when I ride in a double Decker train, I'm going to sit on the top deck.  That way I can fight off any 'bad guys' that try to get on the train." 

So, Calbert the Cowboy...here we go again! =)
