Mr. Hooge,
I have just signed up for your email list. I love the illustrations, the website, fantasy novels, even trees (I lived most of my life in Ottawa, Ontario, which as Canada’s capital is the home of the Department of Agriculture and Central Experimental Farm. https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=1818 Every birthday, which fell in late October, my favourite activity was to check out the many wonderful trees on their property in all their autumnal glory. As a writer myself, I can well imagine the work that you went through to write, produce and publish Leafensong. My congratulations. Look forward to reading the book.
Chris—This is a very belated reply. Thank you for your comment. I looked up the farm you mentioned online and I bet it has a lot of great trees to visit, especially in the fall. October is a glorious month for looking at foliage!
I’m curious as to what you are writing. Do you mean as part of your job or are you writing fiction or nonfiction outside of work? My editor is reviewing Book 2 right now, and I’m now rewriting and adding to Book 3 in my Leafensong series, since I’ve added a number of characters and storylines to the full story since writing the last version of Book 3. And of course, I now see many things that need to be changed. It’s difficult to know when to stop rewriting.
