I had a class today ( 10am - 2pm ), so I returned back home much later this afternoon. I was very pleased to find a package at my door containing two copies of my upcoming book, "WILDLIFE LANDSCAPES YOU CAN PAINT" ( Acrylic medium ).
Although I knew I'd receive advance copies, I didn't know exactly when. It is scheduled for world-wide release on or around April 9th.
It has been nearly two years ( 23 months to be exact ) from the time I first received the offer until this point. It took a lot of work, thought and effort ( as well as anxiety and worry ) but at this moment, it was all well worth it. At times, it seemed it would never get here!
Although I have seen the text and photos during the "author reviews", it is quite different ( and much more exciting ) to see it in it's finished form.
I have been very fortunate to gain this opportunity. It was dumb luck and chance that NorthLight Books ( F + W Publishing ) even stumbled across my website in the first place. For that, and to them, I am deeply grateful, indeed.
Soon, I will be posting details on my site regarding the purchase of the book. It will be available on my site, at my classes and at major bookstore retailers world-wide. Currently it can also be ordered at amazon.com as a "pre-order" at a substantial savings over the bookstore price. It is also available at several other on-line book sources.

This is wonderful Wilson! I know you are very excited. I will also be getting one of these! (:
Yes, I'm excited, but more than anything I'm just still surprised at it all. This opportunity literally fell into my lap. With all the art books I've bought through the years, I surely never dreamed I'd be writing one of my own.
Congrats, buddy! If it's released on April 9, I KNOW it will be a best-seller!! (That's my birthday, LOL!) I'm excited for you and excited to see it :-)
Just pre-ordered your book...can't wait!
Thanks, Christy. I hope you like it!

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for ordering the book. I hope you enjoy it.
I have some business ( which I'll be disclosing here soon - stay tuned ) in North Carolina the first week of May, so I had no choice but to reschedule my Albany classes to June. I hope you can at least make the Sunday class, too!
Wow! Your excitement is contagious. Many congratulations to you!
