"A is for Asrai, Z is for Zombie" the book is underway...

I've started work on making my fantasy alphabet series into a book.  Today I made the front and back covers and am currently working on descriptions for all 26 images...which turns out to be more labor intensive then I originally thought...mostly because keeping the descriptions concise and clear is quite difficult... summarizing fairies into a paragraph was quite painful, lol.  But here is a sneak peak of what the picture book will look like, I'm using a program called Book Smart and it will be published on blurb.com
