Let’s take a look behind another header on the Byways Books! Say, have you noticed the change that occurs from book to book depending on which brother’s adventure is featured? My illustrator and I worked out that little detail (among others) even before the first book in the series released. Continue reading BYWAYS: Behind the Header

Good Backup. Cover illustrations are all-important when it comes to digital books (and Hannah Christenson does an amazing job with the Byways series).

I love the Byways header, which features some of the magical, mythical creatures inhabiting Libery’s wild places. It adapts its hues to suit the setting. It shifts like a Changer to show which brother’s story you’re holding. (You noticed that, right?) AND, it blocks a good portion of Hannah Christenson’s cover illustrations.

While Liberty isn’t anything like the USA, each book in the unfolding tale takes its cue from one of the fifty states. That educational twist sets these children’s chapter books apart, proving that learning can be all kinds of fun.
Stowaways. Runaways. Royalty. Rogues. Magic. Mischief. Luck. Learning.
