The Superhero Chronicles anthology table of contents #SuperheroChronicles

If your child has a story in this anthology, please check that the spelling of his or her name is correct. Some hero titles  and story titles have been tweaked. For those of you who have not yet sent in a short sentence or paragraph (written in the third person) about the author (including his or her age), please do so as soon as possible. The formatting of the stories is nearly completed. I am still working on the artwork, preparing it for the book, but I am also getting the "About the Authors and Illustrators" section filled in. I should have an official cover to show you soon too! (The above cover is not the one that will be used.)

Progress on "The Superhero Chronicles" anthology

This year, the subject for the anthology written and illustrated by kids is "superheroes." It was chosen by one of my daughters. We have quite a few stories, but many of the stories this year needed additional work, and we have had very few pictures submitted. My daughter is helping create some pictures to go with some of the non-illustrated stories, and some of the children are revising and building on their stories.

However, all of this additional work means that the anthology is taking longer than I had hoped to complete. It will be completed and published sometime in December, but whether it will be mid-December or late December, I can't be certain.

I think the subject of superheroes was a bit more difficult for some children to write about because the topic was so narrow. So, what we are going to do for the next kids' anthology is we will be returning to the original format where the children will pick a charm and write about that charm or about the character in the charm. This leaves the topics more open for children to write about (and illustrate). It will be Volume Two of "The Talisman Chronicles."

In the meantime, let me apologize right now for anyone waiting on "The Superhero Chronicles" who was hoping to buy a copy in time for Christmas this year. I will do my best, but I'm afraid I can't guarantee it will be ready in time.

On a positive note, some of the stories that came in were absolutely brilliant and inspired. And the cover is already being created for the anthology so I will be able to share it with you soon.
