SNEAK PRIVIEW UPDATE

COVER UPDATE

Here is an update on the cover.  The mother sea serpent is still missing from the scene but is in the process of being completed.  As you can see, Horace is finished and Agnes in the foreground is done as well.  There are also a few added touches such as a little yellow fish and a star fish.

Stay tuned for more updates as they happen.  This same image will appear twice inside the book.  Once without the titles and once on the book a little girl's father is reading at her bedtime.

I will be adding more completed illustrations as they are done and I may include some excerpts as well.  Once all of the illustrations are done the entire book will be available in both a print version and in eBook formats.

SNEAK PREVIEW

  Sammy the Sea Serpent

From the Beginning

Here is a sneak preview of the front cover from the new children's series called Sammy the Sea Serpent.  It is not finished yet but I wanted to share this great rendering.  Gary Finelli is the illustrator who is working on the illustrations and I am putting on the finishing touches like the titles.

The two newborns just coming out of their shell are Sammy's mother Agnes and her twin brother Horace.  The sea serpent swimming overhead is their father and the twin's mother will soon be added to the image.  Agnes is the twin who is barely visible and Horace is partially finished.

In another post I included an image of a sea creature but didn't say who it was.  As promised, I will reveal who it is and as I said, it is not Sammy.  It is the grown up version of Agnes who is Sammy's mother.  Watch for updates on future illustrations as they become available.

COMING SOON!

  Sammy the Sea Serpent

From the Beginning

  Elayne Shore is starting a new children's series about a family of sea serpents.  The full color illustrations are the combined efforts of Gary Finilli, an established artist and the author.  

The first book in the series is called 'From the Beginning'.  It is all about Sammy's parents and how they survived the Ice Age.  Sammy has a brother Tommy and they are both half sea serpent and half dragon.  Together they share various adventures starting in book two 'Sammy's Surprise'.
