I am back to painting! Not that promoting the book is over - it is just starting. But it feels good to paint again.

Sent the manuscript to booklocker.com last night, June 19th; got a message from Angela Hoy today, the 20th, that it has been accepted for publication. Hurray!!!!!!! Yippeeee!!!!!! Called Sheila, her mom, and Piah to share the wonderful news.
What wine shall we have tonight to celebrate, I wonder?

5/7/09: Only a few more changes to the manuscript remain, then back to Piah for more editing. Hopefully, I can send it to the POD publisher by June at the latest.

April 2009
I have been working on a book, a first-time experience! It is a collaboration between me and my niece, Sheila May Advento, which tells her story as a quadruple amputee, her close shave with death in 2003 at age 26 due to meningococcemia, her survival and continuing efforts to rebuild her life.
I've taken charge of this project because I think her inspiring story is worth sharing. I finished painting her portrait in mid-April which I'd like to use for the book cover. Another niece, Ophelia (Piah) Panganiban, is editing the manuscript; and the rest of the family has been, more or less, involved.
This endeavor started in 2007 and will take time to finish. I'm very excited about this and will keep you posted on its progress. I hope it will get published before 2009 is over.
The title? A Life Reclaimed
