Let me introduce
you my to a gifted 'whiz of the brush and pencil' ............ Janine, my youngest daughter. She is the
charming genius, animal lover who provided the illustration below to capture the mood! Jean Visser, the official illustrator will guide the young
reader (and their unsuspecting parents), through the chronicles of my adventures
to Ghost Mountain and beyond.
This picture shows
some of the members of the Mkuze Dawn Choir as they warm up to welcome a story book new
day in the sub tropics of Zululand. HRH Lion, roars an opening aria in an earth-shattering
bass that can be heard for miles. He is accompanied by a wannabe hippo tenor in
full throat. The monkeys? Well they are just hanging around waiting for the
rest of the choir to pitch!
...can't wait!! Impressive roar HRH Lion!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks Liz!.... and wait 'till you hear the Three Tremors'! That was some party!
ReplyDeleteI can hear the dawn choir....let us always celebrate Africa and the wonderful lives of the animals!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie, my ghost writer captures the animal sounds, changing colour of the African dawn sky and those magic moments just before the sun appears over the tree-tops, in the very first chapter. Be sure to share this awesome experience with me!
DeleteThat is good news! Very excited to hold a copy of your book in our hands, Howard! Love from your Texan fans.
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen my loyal Texan fan! Yes, you received the first draft manuscript from my ghost writer. I remember that he/she/it sent it to young Philip to read to you......
