One day, I will have to create a collage of Ray’s sleeping positions. Here is one from a few days ago. Elegant it is not … but he has to be feeling pretty secure to expose himself like that!
Imagine if he stayed like that when visitors arrived? “Please excuse Ray. He is a sleeping exhibitionist!”
A New Direction Perhaps? 
I don’t think a collage would do Ray justice. Maybe a Coffee Table Book?

It’s a really interesting thought, but book production/publishing tends to cost quite a bit of money. I am already in a financial “hole” with books “Who Said I was up for Adoption?” and “Just Thinking” … and have another book currently in process with Friesen Press. Taking on a hard copy, high quality, glossy photographs kind of book (Coffee Table Book) is not likely … at least not in the immediate future! Your potential support is however noted and appreciated. 🙂

First, CongratZ on your previous books and good luck on the latest one.
Second, yes, the glossy paper costs an arm and a leg. Plus the cover. BUT! You could actually just “make” it yourself. Print color photos by yourself, and captions and bind it. I think it would be a fun Christmas present for your family/ friends (if you celebrate).

Yes it really did lower the tone of the dialogue, and is far removed from the Post subject line “Elegance”.

Hi “Kenzie”. So glad that you enjoy my humor. There is plenty more, mixed in with moments of sadness and turmoil, in my book covering the first 18 months of living with Ray. You may like this Post (link below) which includes an interesting extract from the book.

Where your book is comprised of mainly humor with a bit of sadness, my book is mostly sad with intertwining wry humor. Thanks for the link as I appreciate the comical side of life much more these days.
