JMcManus said… Thanks Sibylla,
It's good to know that your daughter loved the book and laughed out loud. I hope the next one will be out this summer. A rough has already been written. Yesterday I was doing some editing work on it. I hope to start artwork soon.
How are you doing?

JMcManus said… Congrats to you. You have a very nice site.
Thanks for the invite to write a guest post … I would love to. Do you have a length requirement?
Also thanks for looking into getting the book. I would love to know your daughters thoughts about it.
JMcManus said… Thank you, thank you, thank you.
My target age is 9+. I did all of the layout and design for the book, including the cover, but I worked with Toujour Byrd for the illustrations. She did a great job. What I did was art direct. I gave her the concepts for the characters and scenes. I gave the angles of the shots and etc. I also designed most of the clothing, but she was the one that brought my ideas to life. For the male characters, I worked with Maurice Novembre.
Question: You have a lot of content on your website. Do you write it all? It looks great and very informative.
JMcManus said… Hello Sibylla,
Thank you for the warm welcome. It was years ago when I decided that I would start publishing children books and last summer it finally happened. I published my first MagBook, Labyrinth's Door - Anyia "Dream of a Warrior".
The first edition of Labyrinth’s Door is a story of a young girl, Anyia, whose dream of becoming a Nagoran Warrior is infused with adventure and danger. Running from her duties as a Yora, she dares to break tradition to follow her own dream, during a time when Empress Zarina threatens the magic treaty that protects her village.
I'm currently working on publishing my first fantasy/adventure coloring book, Talee and the Fallen Object. http://worldstodiscover.com/Talee.html
It's exciting and I hope you as well as other will stop by my website. www.WorldsToDiscover.com. I have a blog about my journey of publishing and branding my books. You can find it at: http://worldstodiscover.com/Storyteller
Would love comments and advice.
