Michael and Blue take a break during a visit to the Grand Canyon in Dec 2014
I have been working on several projects for the first quarter of 2015. The first one is a fun story entitled ‘The Road Blue’ which is a combination of a memoir and true life adventures of the road travels with my dog Blue. If you follow me on Facebook, you will likely be aware that my dog is a rescue dog. He has been my constant companion and even has his own book told from his own point of view published as an eBook. In 2014 I also released two other young adult fiction stories with dogs as their main characters, and have plans for more later this year.
As inspiration for this new book, I am chronicling my account of all of the miles Blue has traveled with me in my work as a Realtor since he was a puppy. Additionally, he and I just completed a cross country road trip together in December, where we traveled through 10 states and had some great adventures. So I am hoping the book will strike readers as both entertaining and fun.

Another book I have been working on since November is a children’s story which also includes Blue as the main character. This one is entitled ‘Blue and the Magical Forest’ and it is a full color picture book which includes my own acrylic art work throughout. I have been painting the canvases to be included in the book as part of the story, and I am including one sample of that here in this article as a sneak peak.
Two other books I have been compiling from notes are along my self help line of books, with another coming out on the vendor artist series, and another from my experiences as a sales manager. I hope to be able to release those later this year.
So I have been working on a lot of exciting projects, and wanted to post a quick update and wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year!
