I am so grateful for the people that have helped my books come about. I wrote Dragon Sister
off and on for a few years as I worked full-time, stopped working and
had two babies, moved a few times, and generally got used to my life as a
mother. Things were a little calmer when I wrote The Burn.
I'm so grateful for my amazing husband. He's not a reader, and it's
like pulling teeth to get him to finish a book. But he has been
wonderfully supportive in this writing craziness of mine. I'd never be
able to do it without him.
I'm also astounded at the talent
of three amazing ladies who've helped me with covers. My dear sister
painted the cover illustration for Dragon Sister.
Then I used the miniscule design knowledge I have to add the text. Yup,
not very pretty, and I've been tweaking it almost constantly, but I'm
just not good at this kind of thing. So I contacted a friend of mine
who's a graphic designer, Jen Foxley, to spruce it up a bit. She sent me
a draft a few days ago, and I LOVE IT. It'll start popping up here
soon. I'll be sure to post it on my News page when it's finished.
And then I'm grateful for Renee Barratt who's working on The Burn cover.
Looking at the myriad of other covers she's already completed, and what
a breeze it has been working with her thus far, I know I'm in good
hands. She's going to send me a first draft any day now, and I can
honestly say I CAN'T WAIT to see what she's come up with.
So to my darling husband and the three of you fabulous women...thank you. I couldn't have done it without you.
