It’s April Fool’s Day, and I have no pranks.

I’m holed up in my home, safe for now. I hope you are taking precautions too. One thing that’s difficult is processing orders when my assistant can’t come in to run prints, and the post-office is still a public place. We will figure out a way to get your orders to you, but it won’t be as timely as it has been in the past. I appreciate your patience.

The art book is nearly ready to send to the printers—just a couple of tiny details remain. Then it’s in the printer’s hands. I don’t know what the situation is in China at the moment, but I expect delays.

In the meantime, there’s a lot on my plate. I have covers to paint and 1-1/2 books to write. I’m making good progress on the sequel to The Summer Dragon, and anticipate a summer of home-alone writing. I am anxious to have it finished.

Please stay safe, everybody, and we’ll see you on the flip side…
