Ebook in the works

This is the more or less final cover for the digital edition of Tracks in the Sand, my picture book about sea turtles. To see the jacket of the print edition plus a close up of one of the baby turtles, click here.
The book had to be redesigned to fit on the iPad, so it needed a new cover as well. I’m excited about making this book available again, hopefully it will be soon. Currently I’m working on getting it into an iBooks format that allows full-bleed images (i.e. fixed-layout EPUB).

  2. Thanks, guys! I'm wrestling with a techno-glitch at the moment, but hope to win in the end.

  3. Update: Tracks in the Sand has been uploaded to the iBookstore, am just waiting for Apple to approve it. Two days and counting...

  4. Update: It took about 11 days for the iBookstore to approve Tracks. In the meantime, it turned out that a vital comma had been left out (horrors!) and I also ended up changing the front cover somewhat. The new cover doesn't cut off the little guy's rear flipper. (See next post.) Anyway, it took another 3 days for the updated file to go live (whew!)
