The Lost: Children of the River anthology by The Raving Press is now officially out and ready to ship. There are several ways to obtain your copy. I will describe three of them here.

1.) Go to Amazon.com and insert the search:
"Lost: Children of the River The Raving Press".

It's a mouthful, yes, but if you insert only the title you get unrelated results. Save time. Copy and paste from here.

2.) Click through to our Createspace E-store
This method helps us, a small business/organization earn some royalties, therefore you would be supporting not only the arts but also small business. Win-win.

3.) Stay tuned on this blog to catch our book release events which will be announced soon and come out to meet us in person. Books at the events will be sold at a discount to those who sign our attendance list and give us their email address. Another win-win!

Thank you for dropping by. Keep coming back for more. 

Special note about "Lost: Children of the River" if you contributed artwork, photography, or literature we want to gift you a copy of this publication. Please come out to our events to get your copy and perhaps read your poetry from the book or talk about your contribution. Thank you.

I am proud to announce on behalf of The Raving Press that the latest edition of the LOST Anthology subtitled "Children of the River" is nearing its publication date and we will be unveiling it in cities around Texas.

This project is one that is near to my heart, not only because of the people whom it addresses (the children coming across the river) but because of what it has represented for us as a challenge to complete. Many times i felt that perhaps we would falter and fall short on our intention to publish this particular edition with the Central American Refugee crisis as its central theme.

It was always on the back of my mind, pressing on the discouraging belief that perhaps we would not be able to resurrect our beloved "LOST" anthology, which Isaac and I started planning in 1998 and then publishing in 2004. 

But, of course, those are anxieties that are natural to creators when you don't have the final product in hand. For now we can put them aside and focus on the proof copy before us. I can say with certainty that everyone who contributed art, literature, and in any other way toward this publication will be very pleased by the result. 

We hope to be able to unveil the final product by this coming September, 2016 barring any unexpected issues. 

Thank you to all who have been patient with us while we finalize this project. And another great thanks to those who submitted and contributed to our effort. We hope to see you all at the book release.
