A BOOK IS A DREAM THAT YOU HOLD IN YOUR HAND.

– NEIL GAIMAN –

 

 

I can’t imagine a world without books. I love to read them, I love to write them, and for my own children’s books, I love to illustrate them. My offerings to date: Book of DragonsA Book of Fairies,The Book of Mermaids, and 52 Weeks of Peace, are sold out and awaiting second and third edition publication. (Note: my books are still available on Amazon through third-party sellers, with whom I have no affiliation, just FYI!)

 

I also love designing book covers for publishers and other authors – see farther down the page for samples, as well as under books in portfolio.
