Book One Done, Book Two Due

12/14/2014

Hello friends,

Publishing a book to include illustrations from the mid-1800s is challenging. We were not satisfied with the quality of the illustrations we received in the proof copies of book one, Will You Write to Me? As a result, we went back to the drawing board. There is only so much we can do to make 1850 daguerreotypes not look grainy. We think the new and improved illustrations add so much to the story and hope you agree it was worth the wait.

Book two, Will You Marry Me?, is nearly ready to be formatted and our target for publication is March 2015.

Book three, Will You Wait for Me? is on-target to be released in late spring or early summer 2015.

Thank you for your continued interest as this trilogy unfolds at the pace of a 1850's carriage traveling the back-country trails on wooden wheels without a GPS device.

PJ and Elisabeth are a mother and daughter writing team. The discovery of Lizzie’s letters led to this trilogy, The Courtship of Lizzie Andrews. Elisabeth earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota and married
A. Albert Johnson in 1951. They were blessed with four daughters by 1959. An unfortunate accident took the life of Al in 1964. Elisabeth moved the girls to California, after earning a teaching credential at Wayne State University in Detroit and commenced a thirteen year career teaching art. For over 25 years she then pursued her business of creating stuffed animals and ceramic “Pot Pets”. Research for this trilogy has occupied much of her time in the past decade. An avid geocacher, genealogist and archer, she has earned over sixty gold medals in Senior Games. Named “Queen Elisabeth” for archery following the 2010 Huntsman World Senior Games, she now resides with her dog Koko in Washington, Utah.
