As you all know, Peggy and Shelly's book The Watercolor Cat has gone to press. The Peg's Legs, by the way, are a part of the story! The release date is October 17th (Indy's birthday! And my dad's too!)
We are working with Mutual Publishing on the marketing/PR for the book and are interested in doing a Launch Event in November. We are looking for a location for the launch event and so are asking if anyone has any ideas...
We are also interested in any other marketing/PR ideas that you Legs might have!
Here is a little blurb about the book:
Local artist Peggy Chun, known for her whimsical paintings of snorkeling cows, dancing pigs with tropical plants
and scenery shares her work and personal story through the eyes of her beloved and mischievous cat Boo.
Written for the young at heart, it tells the simple story of a painter who continues to find strength in her art through her battle with ALS. Her artwork is featured and shown in progression --form her early days as a struggling artist to the first stages of her illness when she loses the use of her right hand, through to her current state of almost complete paralysis. With the help of a computer she is able to paint with her eyes. Yet, despite the draining physical and mental challenges, Peggy continues to paint and finds solace in the act of painting and creating the beautiful scenes- both comical and poignant -- inspired her Hawai'i island home.
