Welcome to the Debut of the New Carmel Community Newsletter

By Tom Britt, Publisher What do Geist and Carmel have in common? Good news, good neighbors, and now your own community newsletter.

First, a little bit about us. All of our writers and photographers are local Carmel residents, just like you. We don’t have an office building or a 30-minute commute; we all work from our homes. Our focus is on supporting the community of Carmel by highlighting the people behind the scenes that make it a special place to live and work. It’s our firm belief that the mortar holding any community together is the non-profits and charitable organizations. Our stories will concentrate on the people who make up the diverse population found in Carmel.

And so, it is our pleasure to introduce you to the new Carmel Community Newsletter, a monthly print publication mailed free of charge to nearly 20,000 of our Carmel neighbors each month. You are invited to contribute through any of our online assets including atCarmel.com, atCarmel.net, Twitter.com, and Facebook.com. Homeowners association news, event photos, free classified ads, home videos, garage sale notices, and even coupons can be submitted through our online websites and shared with your neighbors.

arships for volunteerism that we’d rather talk about. With all the politics and problems in the world, its refreshing to hear about the good in a community every once in awhile.

Some of you with friends, relatives, or businesses in the Geist area may recognize the “at� moniker. My wife and I started the atGeist.com website and Geist Community Newsletter at Geist Reservoir just over five years ago. Like many start-up companies, my part-time job is now my fulltime passion.

I invite you to participate in your new community publication. Its your voice, your stories, your thoughts, and your neighbors we want to hear about. Our mission is to provide a platform to support the community of Carmel. The best gift you can give us in return is your feedback and participation.

I’m often asked about the annexation fight against the Town of Fishers, blue-green algae in the reservoir, or a Geist pilot now in the Hamilton County jail named Schrenker. While it’s good exposure to be called upon to comment on local and national news stories covered in our newsletter, I have to say, its our work with local non-profits, founding the St.Vincent Geist Half Marathon & 5K, hosting local fundraisers, hosting writing contests for children, and our schol-

MOMs Club of Carmel Offers Support for At-Home Moms

with other new moms but didn’t have any luck meeting people right away.”

Long story short, she found the MOMS Club® of Carmel East. MOMS Club is an international organization founded by an at-home mom, for at-home moms! MOMS Club offers monthly activities for moms and children either at a member’s home or other facilities, such as the zoo or a park.

Some examples of activities might include recipe group, pizza night and weekly play groups. Not only does MOMS Club have a monthly Mom’s Night Out (the only activity that does not include children), but it also supports various local charities for children.

MOMS Club members Abby Wise, Lara Blastick, and Jen Konesco meet once a week to let the kids play and have some adult social interaction.

“I was able to meet new people, learn about Carmel and get involved in the community,” explained Konesco. Last year she was VP of Administration, in which she coordinated the club’s service project by purchasing and delivering food and gifts for underprivileged families during the holidays.

By Mindy Fleming Four years ago, Jen Konesco moved to Carmel with her husband. She was pregnant with her first child, and she quit her job to be an at-home mother. “After JoEllen was born, I was extremely lonely,” said Konesco. “I wanted to enjoy motherhood

“MOMS Club is a rewarding, fun and great social outlet for both moms and children,” said added. Depending on where you live in Carmel, MOMS Club of Carmel has three chapters: East, West and Central West. Visit www.momsclub.org for more information and to find your appropriate group.

Fall Color Brings Community Together on the Monon Trail

By Jen Alderman

As mild fall weather approaches, many of us in Carmel will be dusting off our bicycles, rollerblades, and running shoes and exploring the Monon Trail. With 5.2 miles of trail in Carmel alone, and a total of 16.7 miles its entirety, the Monon Trail offers ample opportunity for Carmel residents to get out and move through the city.

This year has brought some changes to the trail, most importantly the opening of the bridge over Carmel Drive. The bridge opened this spring, and according to Terry Meyers with Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Department, the bridge has been an overwhelming success. “I truly believe anytime you can separate pedestrian traffic from vehicle traffic the results will be nothing but positive,” said Meyers.

Future improvements to the Trail include resurfacing the trail’s asphalt, and an engineer has recently been hired to consult on this project.

“One of our favorite Sunday afternoon family activities is to load up the kids and our bikes and ride down the Monon through the Arts and Design District“ said Carmel resident Angela Dues. “We feel so lucky to have a resource like the Monon Trail in our community.” With all the improvements completed and planned for the Monon Trail, there is certainly plenty for Carmel residents to feel lucky about.

You’re Invited to a True Italian Bistro in Carmel

parents, decided to bring a little bit of Italy to Carmel. By adding the new and unique outdoor dining area, Gelato Da Vinci is able to capture the essence and feel of a true Italian bistro. “When I first walked past, it just didn’t look like a typical restaurant in Indiana,� said Christy Nowlin, a local patron. “It was so quaint,cozy and tasty!�

Gelato Da Vinci, the well-known bistro in Clay Terrace that offers the Italian version of ice cream, has decided to take on a new endeavor: a nightly dinner and wine menu.

Jim Colvin, owner of Gelato Da Vinci, stands in front of his Italian Bistro, welcoming all in for a gelato, a coffee, lunch or dinner! (Photo and story by Mindy Fleming)

In order to improve their sales in 2008, bistro owners decided to add a Sunday brunch. After that success, they started looking into the evening market. After conducting extensive research, Gelato Da Vinci owners now serve more than just decadent frozen desserts.

“We needed to make some changes to increase traffic and just do something different,� said Jim Colvin, one of the owners. “To survive a changed economy, we have to reinvent ourselves.�

Not only did Gelato Da Vinci want to offer the neighborhood an intimate, Italian dining experience, they wanted an affordable menu as well. “All of our food is prepared to order with all natural and fresh ingredients,� explained Colvin. “We also want to take care of our customers by offering a moderately priced menu that doesn’t break the budget.� For those just wanting a lowkey evening, he suggests ordering a glass of the house wine, the Formaggio Quattro antipasta (cheese plate), a flatbread and dessert. Going out to dinner never sounded so good!

For more information, hours of operation and locations or to make a reservation go online to www.gelatodavinci.com or call (317) 816-9100.

The Art of Teaching Art

By Lori McDonough

Rest assured the artistic talent pool is secure in Carmel’s future …Carmel resident, Jeanne Dalzell is seeing to that. After school, on any given day of the week, aspiring young artists of Carmel can be found in Dalzell’s finished basement-turned art studio, sitting around the table eating cookies and learning the basics of perspective, composition and color. With her help, elementary through high school students learn to create using a rainbow of watercolors, acrylics, pastels, and pencils.

“I encourage the kids to complete many pieces throughout the year and to enter them in juried youth art shows,” Dalzell explains. “We’ve had student’s work shown in such venues as the Indiana State Fair, the Riley Festival and the Carmel Art & Design District.”

each week in group settings.

She also acts as an art scholarship judge for Carmel High School and stays busy working on commissioned art for clients.

Dalzell, an established artist herself, was raised in an artistic family. Her mother and great uncle both graduated from Heron School of Art. “My mom wouldn’t buy me coloring books,” Dalzell explains. “Instead, she would say, “Here’s some paper. I’ll show you how to draw your own.”

Passionate about the value of art in everyday life, Dalzell sees the value of art education at an early age.

“I tell parents to encourage their children to be artists,” she says. “There are lots of practical applications for art in life,” she adds.

Dalzell began teaching art to children in her own family about 15 years ago. She now works with dozens of students

Dalzell, who has lived in Carmel with her family for thirty years, has raised four children with her husband Mike, and is now a grandmother of seven. She never tires of inspiring creative minds, and as all good teachers do, emphasizes practice, practice, practice.

“Draw something every day,” she recommends.

“Draw something you are passionate about, but don’t do it on your math paper.”

For more information about Dalzell’s art or student lessons, call (317) 844-4386 or go online to her website, www.yourartistindiana.com.

Carmel Plastic Surgeon Opens Wellness Center

During their four years in their previous location at 755 West Carmel Drive, Dr. Catherine Winslow and her staff began running out of room and were literally “stepping over each other the last two years!”

While researching options for additional space, Winslow soon realized there was a need for a one-stop spot where customers could get everything they need under one roof.

Their new location at 2000 E. 116th Street provides just that!

Dr. Catherine Winslow, facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, at her new Winslow Plastic Surgery Center and Fusion spa in Carmel.

The Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery and Fusion Spa offers all facial, cosmetic and reconstructive services such as rhinoplasty, otoplasty (ear surgery that can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear), facelifts, eyelifts and contour threadlifts. There’s also a number of injectables such as Restylane, Botox, Juvederm and a fairly new filler called Evolence.

By Pat Carlini Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery has a new home in Carmel. The pyramid style, Asian-themed building along 116th Street, just west of Keystone Avenue, is now home to a full-service wellness center—the Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery and Fusion Spa.

The Fusion spa offers micropeels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, waxing, spray tans and special services such as the Dermalife Multi-Sensory Spa for water therapy and the Winslow Signature Bamboo Facial which actually incorporates the use of warmed bamboo pieces specifically designed for the face.

“Bamboo has long been known for its healing effects,” says Winslow. “We try to use it in the treatments when possible.”

Aging skin is often overlooked by patients seeking cosmetic surgery but adds years to the face. Many “miracle cures” and new laser options have failed to produce consistent results or happy patients, and can cost thousands of dollars with no results. A simple much less expensive alternative is a physicianadministered chemical peel.

Physician-grade peels do not require anesthetics and have minimal downtime. Generally, 5-7 days of sun avoidance allows the skin to heal completely.

The cost is around $1000 (versus thousands for often-ineffective laser treatments).

Dr. Catherine Winslow is one of the most experienced facial plastic surgeons in the country, and would be happy to consult with photo morphing to show you what changes are possible. Go to www.IndyFace.com for more before/after photos. Or visit us at our next open house Wed Oct 21st.

Carmel Community Newsletter

Plans are also being made for a pilates studio on the first floor.

Dr. Catherine Winslow started her medical career at the Indiana University School of Medicine and completed an Otolaryngology residency at the University of Colorado. Winslow achieved the highest board score in the nation and was awarded the Torchbearer Award by the State of Indiana in recognition for her contributions to the field of medicine.

Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery’s new office located at 2000 E. 116th Street, just west of Keystone Avenue.

There’s also a winding bamboo path through the lobby flanked by cushy leather chairs and Asian teapots. The Asian theme continues throughout the spa with special acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicine. The spa also sells Latisse for the eyelashes and Lumicell Touch for cellulite treatment.

Carmel, enjoy this new wellness center! For more information about services, visit Dr. Winslow’s website at www.indyface.com or call Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery and Fusion Spa at (317) 814-1104.

Winslow’s Fusion Spa also offers spa parties, teen treatments and bridal activities. They carry they own line of prescription creams called Mineralogie which is a mineral based make-up with SPF 26 available in custom colors.

Pumpkin Carving: A Personality Indicator

Men are supposedly from Mars, and women are from Venus. Right-brain people are creative, left-brainers are accountants. There are so many generalizations about the makeup of humans. So I’m going to add one more litmus test for defining major personality differences, and it is (wait for it): Pumpkin carving.

sketch out a fun design. Within minutes I’m good to go. I gut, scrape, carve and am then looking at a final masterpiece within the hour.

Okay, before you dismiss my theory, think about it.

When it comes to preparing for Halloween and the Fall season, there are those of us who wing it, and those of us who make it into brain surgery. Case in point:

When a decision is finally reached, an entire afternoon must be set aside for the carving event. We must set up a card table outside on the patio to minimize any possible pumpkin-guts contamination within the walls of our home. There must be appropriate motivational music playing, and newspapers are painstakingly aligned on the table and ground to catch the tiniest particles of pumpkin juice spillage on the surrounding areas.

Halloween is one of the most beloved holidays in our house, primarily because my son is obsessed with anything spooky, eerie or trickor-treaty. So every year, we ceremoniously purchase a big pumpkin for each family member, and then have an afternoon with appropriate carving devices and votive candles.

Rulers are used. Design drafts are made. Opinions are sought. “Does this look okay?” “Would it look better on the other side?” And while my entire family has moved on to, say, cleaning up and attending to showers, homework or maybe bedtime, my husband is still at the table, with a pumpkin gleaming and glowing, with perfect clean cut incisions and an inside that could pass a white gloves test.

It’s true.

Advertising Proof

2006

I’m a winging-it sort of carver. I look at the shape of the pumpkin, eye its curves and deformities, and

My husband, on the other hand, approaches carving pumpkins in a way that I would imagine a rocket scientist would approach an upcoming launch at NASA. Oh yes, there is research involved, with hours spent on the internet, finding the best possible design, hopefully, with actual patterns available. There are hours, even days of deliberations.

Which design is best? Which one will make the best impression for trick-or-treaters? Which one will change the world as we know it?

So I wonder what this means? Does it indicate a difference in the sexes, or does it serve as an indicator for distinct personality characteristics (or perhaps disorders)? Does it mean anything at all? I don’t know. What I do know is that on Halloween night, you’ll be able to see three flawed, whimsical pumpkins at our house, and another one that could be featured in a Martha Stewart segment. I’ll let you guess who made it.

New Association Brings Arts Community & Residents

Article by Michelle Momper | Photos by Jennifer Alderman

A

s Carmel’s Arts & Design District continues to grow and prosper, some area business owners are coming together, united by a common vision for the community: one that includes positive business owner communication, philanthropy, and giving back to the community, not to mention enticing more foot traffic into the District.

“Our goal is to use ADDBAC as a tool to improve communication between business owners in the area, and to promote various charitable efforts, as well as to create meaningful events within the community.”

Jill ZanikeR ADDBAC president

The result? ADDBAC, or Arts & Design District Business Association of Carmel. The organization is the brainchild of local business owners, including Jill Zaniker and Bernie Szuhaj, co-owners (along with Lynn Wieand) of the Simply Sweet Shoppe and Second Story Playhouse, 30 N. Rangeline Rd. ADDBAC is designed to bring the District’s business owners together for a common cause.

Zaniker is referring to Second Saturdays, a recurring event that will take place on, you guessed it, the second Saturday of a given month, with the idea being to keep visitors “coming back for seconds.”

Designed to be family-friendly, Second Saturdays will feature entertainers and performing artists on a main stage, located in the National City Bank parking lot at Main St. and Rangeline Road.

This month, the jazz band, What’s Up, Doc?, will be featured, as well as comedy group INDYPROV and other local performers.

Any District area businessperson can be a part of this association, and there are varied levels of participation.

With a board made up of six enthusiastic and driven business owners, the group aims to make a positive difference for not only the surrounding District business community, but for Carmel residents as a whole.

12

Life is sweet for the members of ADDBAC. Pictured (clockwise from top): David Schoenenberger, Bernie Szuhaj, Rachel Davidson, Jill Zaniker, and Cherie Piebes. Not pictured, Linda Waeiss

“ADDBAC’s first event takes place on Oct. 10, and is going to be communityminded, where everyone is welcome and people of all ages will find something to enjoy,” says Zaniker.

“Our goal is to use ADDBAC as a tool to improve communication between business owners in the area, and to promote various charitable efforts, as well as to create meaningful events within the community,” says Zaniker, president of the not-for-profit group.

“We are really trying to use creative thinking to help grow the District in a positive direction. We hope that other local professionals who want to truly make a difference; to be October 2009

actively involved in the community, will come and join us,” says Zaniker. “Our organization’s tagline is ‘Adding Back to the Community Together,’ and that’s just what we plan to do,” says Zaniker.

The work of local artists will be displayed throughout the District in front of area boutiques, restaurants, galleries and specialty shops.

Attendees will also be able to take advantage Jill Zaniker, President of the ADDBAC, wants to see the Carmel Arts & Design District become a Midwest attraction.

Second Saturdays are also scheduled for November 14 and December 12, and Zaniker says that each month will have a different focus.

For instance, December’s event will be holiday-themed, while in January, a chili cookoff is in the works.

“While Second Saturdays are a great opportunity for family fun, we also want to use the events as a vehicle to raise money for an annual scholarship,” Zaniker says. “We hope to grant a scholarship at the end of the school year to a graduating Carmel senior who plans on pursuing a degree in the arts.”

Zaniker hopes that through the efforts of ADDBAC, the District can continue to see positive growth, and can become known as a premiere arts and design attraction in the Midwest. If you would like more information about ADDBAC, contact Zaniker or Szuhaj at 317-818-9866.

Dog Day Afternoon

By Jennifer Alderman

About 12 years ago my boyfriend (now husband) told me he had found the perfect birthday gift for me, and asked me to go see the gift. I was completely shocked when we walked into a local pet store, but just moments later I found myself falling completely in love with the big brown eyes and soft fur of a puppy available for adoption. We filled out the adoption paperwork on the spot, and two weeks later we picked her up at the local Humane Society. We named her Ani, and she has been everything a good dog should be: loving, playful, loyal, infuriating, and a complete joy.

Since we started having children, poor Ani has moved down a notch or two on the priority ladder, and she doesn’t get trips out of the house too often. So last month’s Dog Day Afternoon held in Carmel’s Arts & Design District was a welcome outing for our entire family. Sponsored by the City of Carmel, Dog Day Afternoon was an afternoon of dog-friendly events including shopping, fashion, and food for canines and their two-legged friends. My kids loved the fashion show with local retailers and their dogs, especially when one determined pooch jumped off the end of the runway to grab a drink of water. And typical of the good dog she is, Ani’s favorite part was spending a beautiful early fall afternoon out with her family.

My first baby, Ani, enjoyed a “Dog Day Afternoon” along with my husband Rob and our two boys Casey & Connor.

For an upcoming calendar of events in the Carmel Arts & Design District go online to www.carmelartsanddesign.com

For 16 years, we have been creating outdoor spaces, where memories are made.

The Daycare, Preschool Dilemma

curriculum do they use? What ages do they take and do they offer extended hours?

Is it any wonder that parents are confused? The world of child care contains a dizzying array of choices, philosophies, rules and regulations.

According to the Child Trends Databank, in 2005 61 percent of children from birth through age six (not in kindergarten) spent time in non-parental child care, with 36 percent of that number being in center-based programs. Let’s start by looking at the similarities and differences between daycare and preschool.

Amy Vanbruggen, Director of Little Lamb childcare, (317) 848-3580.

(Story by Jan VanOsdol, photos by Jean Wright of M3 Photography)

Childcare: what’s a parent to do?

Is the daycare center down the block the place for you, or should you choose the preschool at your church?

Is the center licensed or is it registered, and what’s the difference between the two anyway? What, if any,

Both daycare and preschool can be licensed by the state, and both offer quality activities designed to stimulate a child’s development. Daycare is viewed as more custodial, while preschool is considered more academic. Some providers are both a preschool and a daycare, while some are just strictly one or the other.

A preschool is specifically designed for children between the ages of 2 through 5 or 6 for a limited number of hours per day. The day is designed around a curriculum (such as Montessori or a religious theme). Preschool usually follows the public school calendar, closing for holiday breaks with

reduced hours in the summer.

A daycare offers structured activities, even a curriculum, but has extended hours to accommodate working parents.

Typically the hours are from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. They do not close during the public school vacations, only taking off a few days during the year.

In Indiana, there are three state-approved designations: Licensed Child Care Center, Licensed Child Care Home, and an Unlicensed Registered Child Care Ministry. Each must complete a number of requirements including paperwork, training, zoning, inspections and health and safety standards.

Go to the www.in.gov website for more information.

Additionally, licensed centers are often further broken into three categories based on their ownership: franchises (e.g.

Goddard), corporate-owned (e.g. KinderCare) and privatelyowned (e.g. The Little Lamb).

One local organization, which is an example of a preschool/ daycare and a registered child care ministry, is Outlook Christian Preschool in Geist. Director Sandy Johnson asserts that the regulations covering a registered ministry are stringent. “We do have inspections by the state of Indiana, the Board of Health and the fire marshal,� she says.

Extremely popular with their clients, Outlook uses the biblical Abeka curriculum for all their classes and only takes children ages 3, 4 and who are in kindergarten.

They offer extended hours for working parents from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m..

(From Previous Page) take children from the age of 2 1/2 through 6 and operate from the hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. They follow the major school holidays. Director Rachel Cohen points out they also operate Peter Rabbit Learning Center, which is a state-licensed preschool in Carmel offering extended care hours for children from the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Both facilities test their students and offer individualized, developmental learning.

Most parents have heard of The Goddard Schools, and both Rosita Hittle and Frank Alcala, owners of the Lawrence and Fishers schools respectively, emphasize that their licensed child care centers are indeed schools. Central to the program is their FLEX Learning Curriculum.

They also have an array of enrichment activities from teaching sign language, to babies, to art history. Goddard cares for children from the ages of 6 weeks through age 12 and

is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Both Hittle and Alcala believe preschool is important for the socialization, preparation for school, and confidence it instills in the kids.

As parents compare programs, they need to decide what is important for their family. Teffenie Davies will be opening the Kiddie Academy, a licensed child care center, in Fishers in November. Her curriculum is built around Life Essentials with an emphasis on character building and service activities. “So often we forget that part of life is giving back,” she says. Their state-of-the-art building will have a webcam in every room so that parents can log in and check on their child at anytime. She will care for infants through schoolaged children from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

One example of a licensed child care center with a biblical curriculum is The Little Lamb in Carmel. Director Amy Vanbruggen oversees this privately-owned program, which uses the Abeka curriculum. They are open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and care for children between the ages of 6 weeks through age 10 in their before and after school program.

She emphasizes the teacher-child relationship. “The most important thing for a child is the teacher in the classroom,” she says.

When putting this all together, keep a few other things in mind: price, scheduling and availability. Some child care facility costs rival college tuition, so parents need to figure out what they can afford, and compare available options. Also, check to see if the center can accommodate your schedule, whether it is full time, part-time, full days or half-days.

Finally, realize most places have waiting lists, especially for infants and toddlers. Alcala says that it can take up to 15 months for a placement to open up in an infant room and recommends holding a place for your child as soon as you know you are expecting.

Above all, every single provider had one last piece of advice for parents looking for child care: visit the place and trust your instincts.

Accidents happen.

But sometimes, you deserve more than apologies.

An Afternoon at Cool Creek Park

By Jen Alderman

One of the things I love most about living in Carmel is that on any given day there are tons of activities for families to participate in, and the majority of these are free. I was certainly thankful of this fact last week when my toddler refused to nap and my preschooler was climbing the walls.

I loaded them up and headed over to Cool Creek Park and Nature Center, where we were treated to a performance from Miss Debbie and her puppet pals.

Miss Debbie’s puppet show centered on a frog learning from his pond friends all about different species of animals. The room was packed with young kids and parents laughing at the animal antics, and even though I broke a Mom Cardinal Law (“Thou Shall Always Bring Snacks”) my kids still enjoyed the show. After the puppet show, we walked around the Nature Center checking out the turtles, snakes and lizards on display. There were also crafts and interactive exhibits.

We could have spent the entire morning there looking at everything, but since my kids had gone a whole 20 minutes without eating (and someone forgot to bring snacks), we headed home for lunch. We’ll be returning soon, and next time I think we’ll try to catch a bird or wildflower hike.

My son Casey was captivated by the lizards on display in the Nature Center.

Carmel Author Publishes First Book

“I walked out of the movie and said, ‘You know, I could write something better than what we just saw’,” he said.

That night, the soon-to-be author began pursuing his dream and set out to write his first action adventure.

Because Cosmer’s relatives fought in the war in Italy, he was inspired to create a character who lives in Wisconsin and keeps an old ammunition crate that his grandfather brought back from the war. “Jim,” the main character in the story, had all but forgotten about the chest until the Sicilian mafia show up and try to kill him and steal the chest. That’s when the action and adventure kick in.

Carmel native and author Robert Cosmer with his new book, “Mussolini’s Money.”

By Pat Carlini Carmel native and now published author, Robert Cosmer, is busy these days signing copies of his newly released first book— Mussolini’s Money. It all started with a night out at the movies a few years ago.

Cosmer says he knew he was onto something when his dad, who reads a lot, looked it over and said, “This is the best stuff I’ve read so far this year!” From then on, family and friends encouraged him to continue writing and a book was in the making.

“They kept saying you are onto something here. You have to finish this story,” says Cosmer.

To do reseach and background, he traveled to Italy where he picked up a lot of good ideas for the book, as well as a penchant for Italian cooking. “I make a mean pasta with salmon dish that I discovered while in Italy.”

Cosmer says the publishing process is an arduous journey and he is not sure he wants to do it all again. “Since I didn’t know much about the publishing business, I blindly walked right into it. It is definitely a lot of work.”

Once the book was complete, he sent it out to publishers. He received about eight rejection letters. The final letter arrived in the mail the very day he signed with a publisher.

In a tip-of-the-hat to his alma mater Purdue, where he majored in BCT Construction Management, the book was printed with a black and yellow cover.

Although Cosmer was born in Indianapolis, he spent his childhood years in Carmel and is a graduate of Carmel High School. He now resides in Indianapolis with his two dogs who are a big help to him when it comes to writer’s block.
