Hello! 

I’ll keep this short because, honestly, we have a LOT of work to do to finish this book!  We are even surprising ourselves how perfect it is turning out. Better than we could have imagined.

My side (Amy’s) is 90% complete. Hopefully, we can get the spot illustrations in the way we want them. It’s proving to be tricky since my side of the Adobe InDesign file (the software we are using to “build” the book.) is up-side-down.

Joe’s side of the book has proven to be a massive undertaking with 160 pages of full illustrations. I have stepped in to draw about 50% of the back grounds so Joe can focus on the characters and action. I’m so proud of how his artistic skills and confidence in himself has skyrocketed. 

Here are some milestones that may seem simple enough but were big steps towards our goal. 

1. We agreed on the font! Two creative minds butted heads a few times on this one. It has also been approved by our publisher for print quality.

2. Chapter 6 is complete and approved by our publisher. There is some adult content and we wanted to make sure it was tastefully done and followed MJPs guidelines. This chapter was also used to confirm the illustration style and design elements for printing.

3. Chapters 1 and 2 are almost complete and ready for upload to the final file. I have been “cleaning up” and doing the final touches to make sure it looks beautiful.

Thank you again for your support and being the first to reserve your copies. It mean a lot to us and adds a little extra needed pressure to deliver. ;) Our deadline is fast approaching and we are ready to be done!

Amy (& Joe) Rogan  aka the Rolling Rogans.
