My plans for the book are multifaceted. My first editions are for the local youngsters where the need is greatest. Those with special needs who may be in hospitals, schools, and other institutions starting here in the Austin area. Just as the pearl story goes, and like a pearl grows, (starting with its nucleus), it will grow to find its destined readership throughout the world in its due time. I will try to let the handmaiden of destiny lead as I follow, walking in the truth that I know and discover. I wish to maintain the standard of excellence wherein family, friends and neighbors reinforce the foundation upon which a greater community structure can be built.
Little Pearly’s Hope, (as you may have noticed) has a section in the back of the book wherein community support and encouragement help reinforce the message of hope in this book. I and others will perform story-time reading with interactive teaching using locally remixed musical theme songs to encourage ‘retainage’ of the content. I plan to gift these books and CD’s via local contributor support to these youngsters. I also have Pearly-Hopestone keepsakes and Little Pearly cards to be a visual reminder for the shelves of those who have limited mobility. My plans are also for Spanish translations and even braille translations, etc.
This book will transcend ‘industry standards’ in every way possible from production to distribution. Local printings and non-industry standard sizing, etc., this is meant not to be a ’cookie-cutter’ children’s book/series. Most big publishing houses, in my opinion, do little justice for authors and their readers in the way they operate as it is most always about sales, commercialism and consumer manipulation. I don’t see how China should be involved in stealing our industrial strengths and cheapening Americans. I do not find the ‘Barnes and Noble’ book shelves a noble way to go.
As you know, education along with inspiration are necessary together to be most effective in the best assimilation of information. For the story and the succeeding stories that I have written I attempt to do this while tying in the old with the new and the new with the old. (If we lose our connections with our ancient messengers the new messages will quickly lose root and perish.) Many people these days lose their roots and founded connections to their ‘pie in the sky’…virtual ‘un’reality.
So hopefully now you have a few specs of ‘my’ plan and its concept. The plan is very extensive and I can’t go through it all in this limited forum. I wish to avail myself to the opportunities that would proliferate the message(s) of hope in this book and thus the series to come. I have close connections with the fossil Ram’s Horn oysters and have a grand vision to teach of their unshelfish ways and how they analogously mirror the virtues that humanity yet has a chance to salvage collectively. I am at a point where I feel it is time to extend myself and get ready to collaborate with other similar visionaries.
I am open to ideas that I can filter through to help make this vision/plan be what it is meant to be, (I guess that is why I of all people have been given this charge). Feel free to exchange your thoughts and see fit for our communication to continue. Please look at my site(s) and perhaps that will help with clarifications. Call me anytime.
