Connie (Kramer) Johnson had a big smile this morning as she showed us her new book, "Mr. Bunny's Secret Party." This delightful children's book has splashy bold art by local artist Clareen Barrett, and was published by Prescott's EMI PrintWorks. Their graphic designer, Nealy, spoke at length with me this afternoon about the services they offer. They use Mac computers for prepress and technical communication with the printers, and offer commercial design services, digital color press, and book binding. I invited them to attend PMUG, and hope to see them. Their site is www.emiprintworks.com.

But back to Connie. She is excited about opportunities to promote this new book, along with her first book, Farm Kids. and we'll be seeing more of this busy gal soon. Find my earlier item about Connie in the June 2 newsletter, headed "Starting Off June." Connie attends my Writers' Networking group which meets weekly in Prescott Valley.
