I've been spending time with Michael and friends the last couple of days. Book 2 is coming along much faster than The Shimmering which took over 8 years to complete! Prelandora is getting very demanding...
I will be signing books and giving away book marks and copies of the book's illustrations on August 6-7 at the Country Village in Bothell, WA in front of the JJ Book store.
Have made my first eBook sales and even had a download of the samples chapters from someone in Russia!
Waz is coming to life as a magnet. I've made an acceptable mold and am hand sculpting and painting each one. Hope to have them available for the BookFest in Kirkland, WA October 1-2. After that event, I will have them available on my website.
Would love to hear from you on what you think of the blog...

Some business stuff: The Shimmering is now available as a trade paper back as well as an eBook at the following sites: Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, smashwords.com, and my website, williamwestwoodjr.com. There is a 25% discount through the end of July for the eBook version at Smashwords.
Thanks so much for the reviews! They are extremely important to me as I venture into the marketing arena and try to get exposure for Michael and friends. Please add any additional comments through email (william.westwoodjr@yahoo.com) or on the Amazon site.

Welcome to Bill's Blog!
Many of you have asked for more information about Tales of Tremora-The Shimmering, and about when the second book will be published. I hope to use this forum for all of that. Plus, I hope to relate stories about the inspiration for and the creation of the world of Tremora, additional details about the characters, and to answer questions from readers and fans...
I also have a wonderful personal story about Pauline Baynes, the original illustrator for both C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, and hope to address the challenges of writing, self-publishing, marketing, sculpting, illustrating and all things creative.
As Tracker often observes, "the adventure continues."
With your support I hope that this adventure in blogging, indeed, continues...
