Hi everyone,

Attached is a newsletter Jez sends out to his friends and fans.  You'll see he promotes and provides a link to PBO, which is great!  If you'd like to sign up to receive his newletter, you'll find a link for that as well.

Enjoy!

Rosemary is offering a very special piece to PBO guests - a reproduction of the mock-up of her very first published book.  Because the mock-up is from years ago, it was made with art stock and a stitched binding, so the reproduction had to be handled very carefully.  Rosemary added a personal note, as well, which makes this exclusive piece a collector's dream, and a fan's joy.  Look for the official announcement of availability in your inbox (be sure you're signed up), and I hope you'll enjoy this truly special work of art as much as I do! 

What a wonderful launch year, despite the unusual economic climate.  It's clear that art transcends age, and stories come to life through the work of these talented illustrators.  In 2009, the giclee prints we offer will be even more affordable, and stay tuned because two new and incredibly talented artists will join PBO!  

In January, a special purchase opportunity will arrive if you've signed up for PBO email, so if you haven't yet, now is a great time!

Finally, for those of you in the Seattle area, listen to KIRO 710 in January to hear my interview on the 7am New CEOs show!    Let me know what you think, right here on the PBO blog.

Happy New Year to all! 

Thanks so much, everyone...my inbox has been loaded with cheers and congrats and great ideas!

Hi everyone,

Thankfully, a few of you alerted us to the lack of an obvious link from the email to our site.  Problem fixed for the draft being sent to 'all others' on the mailing list! Phewf!  

It's great to hear from friends and family all over the country.  We so appreciate your comments - both those of support and those that make our site better, easier and more user-friendly.  Keep them coming!

 Very best,

Anna

Hi everyone,

Thanks for visiting!  How did the email work?  What do you think of the site?  I welcome your comments, and hope you'll visit often.  The work of fine tuning will continue, and more art will be uploaded regularly.  Come by any time!

Best,

Anna
