When does your next book come out?

Before anyone gets too excited about the wrong thing, I should just tell you all that I'm not talking about Book 2 of The Jane Journals. That one can't come out yet because I haven't actually finished writing it. Blerg.

I'm getting close, though! And that's encouraging.

But anyway, the book I'm talking about today is this one:

1, 2, 3 with Nephi and Me!

It's a Book of Mormon counting board book. So, 1 Liahona, 2 thousand warriors, etc. I would tell you more, but I don't want to ruin the ending.

But even if you don't like the words on the page, I think you'll still love the illustrations. They are AWESOME! I was so impressed by Emily Konopasek's skills. You can check out her portfolio here if you're interested in seeing more.

Is she crazy talented or what? In fact, if you scroll down far enough, you'll get to see a sneak preview of all the illustrations for my book (without the text).

I hope you guys love this book as much as I loved writing it. I can't wait to read it to my niece and nephew. Or at least let them chew on the pages.

Oh. And to actually answer the original question, its official release date is August 11. But it's already available for pre-order on Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com.

Hope you all have a great 4th of July tomorrow! I'm celebrating early by staying in my pajamas all day and finishing up my tidying, but I'll probably write more about that once I'm officially finished.
