One of my goals this year is to get back on track with writing my original fiction. First up was a new cover for The Art Kids: Isn't it pretty?? Of course this is for the Kindle edition only, because creating a cover for the paperback … Continue reading new year, new look

Scavengers cover reveal!
Scavengers finally has a cover! This took me a long time... mostly due to issues getting permission to use images.

I suppose I could tint it a different color. I liked the idea of the rumpled blanket looking like a landscape and you don't … Continue reading Dreamwalkers cover fun
