Hello, Xyliacs! At this writing, I am visiting the lovely state of Texas! I tried valiantly to complete the next page prior to leaving, but my freelance schedule (as it often does) got very busy with tight deadlines the week before I left. I am very sorry for disappointing you- I know you are looking forward to the reason for April’s response. I promise next week we are back to normal.

Well Big Sis is not too happy with the malarky April is up to it seems….

Please vote- I hope to get something new up before I leave. Today’s pic is one I posted a year or more ago- of the mysterious White Twins, Damara and Dalia…
———————–XYLIATALES NEWS!!————————
Production is still continuing on the Xyliatales book Volume I. In case you missed it- here is me with a color proof of the cover. The good news is that it looks great- the bad news is that I have to go through and change the levels on every page and pull back on the saturation. But that’s okay- I would rather do that then have the whole book be dark.

I’m hoping to be able to log in and add some trip stuff in this space from the road…. We shall see!

Hi Barb!
I haven’t commented on Xyliatales for way too long. I’m still hanging around and I have really been enjoying this new chapter. These sisters are so cute!
Thank you for everything, Barb. As always, Xyliatales rocks!

Oi, yeah, I feel you about having to adjust the saturation and levels on every page. That was the biggest lesson I learned my first print run, and I was damn happy I didn’t print in color, else it would have been HORRIBLE. Lighten everything! Hope you’re having a blast in Texaaaas!

Yay Texas! That’s my home, ya know!
As such, I think visiting Texas is a FABULOUS reason to be a bit off your schedule. (Yes I know you said something about freelance work, too. I just choose to interpret those words to mean you are so in awe of the Texas goodness that you’re a little behind on your freelancing, not that Texas has nothing to do with it…which would be silly. 
)
