The Patch Project Fan Art Contest was a great time! Thank you so much to everyone who participated. And now, the moment has arrived to announce the winner! Although there could only be one winner of the contest, I wanted to first highlight a few entries and give them fancy honorable mention titles. Because art…

facing the future
Well, it’s been awhile! Most of my summer was spent at a cottage with poor internet. But I’m back in a city with a lot more connectivity, and some exciting updates! Please join me in marveling at this stunning portrait by the wonderful Al Hess! When I saw he had a commissions spot open, I…

Sequel Update #8 – Cover to Cover
Last week, Adventure Worlds Press released the cover Christian Laforet designed for A Place That Used to Be! In case you missed it, here it is: It was a bit of a process getting to this final, awesome design. Originally, I’d asked Sarah Kivell to take photos we could use for the cover. She’s an…

the process
I’ve been working through The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp with an amazing group of creative folks. We meet up once a week to discuss thoughts and discoveries around each section of the book. So far, I’ve been challenged to think more intentionally and clearly about my own creative process, and have deeply benefited from hearing…

it’s a major award!
I’m not the kind of person who wins things. I think I won a raffle once when I was a kid for this giant Easter egg cake. My Dad and I wrote a simple melody on the piano when I was five, and I won a trophy for that. But as the years wore on,…

a little bit of this and that
September has flown by! It was a quietly busy month: getting used to a new work schedule, editing my new book, and catching up with friends. Now that October is here in all its rainy glory, I’m working on getting The Patch Project to a couple of local events – I’ll post an update about…
