The next
seventy-two hours will see clothes laundered, Nikki bathed, boxes placed into
storage plus one tub, two totes, and twin backpacks organized-packed-stuffed
into our daughter's SUV for transport to the airport. The prior three days
addressed the purchasing of preferred toiletries, Nikki's annual visit to the
Veterinarian, planning, organizing and much discourse. Alas, we are a busy
trio.
Yelapans
are no less busy as they prepare for the upcoming season. They likewise
launder, bathe, store, organize, stuff, plan, all performed amidst much
chatter. Alas, they are a busy bunch.
Teo Update
It is
with pride I announce that five editions of The
Adventures with Teo-Las Aventuras con Teo have been e-published and are now
available on ibooks (iPad/MAC), Amazon (KINDLE), and Barnes and Noble (NOOK). These
publications coalesced the creative geniuses of Dianne Risdon as illustrator
extraordinaire, Erin Sorenson as grand editor, and Alfredo Reyes as translator.
I am honored to work with such talent. Dianne and Erin took the scribbles of
this wanna-be author and infused depth and breadth into the discoveries of a
universal child on his odyssey through Yelapa.
The Lonely Egret-La Garceta
Solitaria; The Dogs of Yelapa-Los Perros de Yelapa; Fun in Yelapa-Diversion en
Yelapa are
available for pre-order with November 1 as their release date. The Trip to Puerto Vallarta-El Viaje a
Puerto Vallarta; and The Pangas-Las
Pangas are available for pre-order and will be released around February 1,
2015. By the end of calendar 2014, all nine editions of Series I will be
e-published and scheduled in groups of three for release every three months.
Series II will cycle in next November. That's the plan.
Further
developments, new editions, release dates, introductory offers will all appear
on the Yelapa Memo FaceBook page. If you have not already, finish reading this
post and then go directly to my author page (Yelapa Memo) and click on
"Like." Several reviews as well as the cover art work and the links

Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble websites

Teo collection. With the holidays closing in, these richly
illustrated/edited bilingual editions beg to be present beneath your electronic
tree.
Yelapa Kayak Rentals
The week
following my return (Sunday, November 2) will be devoted to sprucing up the
platform, scouring and servicing all the kayaks and alerting all to YKR's
readiness for the new season. Equipment plans include marketing the remaining
Ocean Two (a double) and replacing it with Frenzy #4 (a single). My daily
presence will be announced by two bold "Welcome" banners visible all
the way to Shit Rock. Business cards will be distributed to key businesses
throughout the pueblo. Numerous promotions are planned during the season. Visit
