Life is a Verb: My First Book Cover
I've been dying to tell all of you about my most-recent project, but I had to keep mum until all the details were worked out. I've designed my first book cover! And it's going to be on the shelves of your local bookstore this fall.
The fabulous Patti Digh, writer of the award-winning blog 37 Days, and her editor at Globe-Pequoit asked me to design the cover for Patti's new book, "Life is a Verb." It's a wonderful collection of 37 essays on how to live a joyful and meaningful life. It's illustrated with ATCs from artists all over the world. It's truy an honor to be a part of such a wonderful project.
So you can imagine my excitement when I received a copy of the finished cover in my e-mail yesterday.
LIFE IS A VERB is already available for pre-order at a discount on Amazon. It will also be available for order on the 37 Days website in the coming weeks.
Yay!!!!! This is one fantastic cover you've made. You better watch out - you might have a whole new career on your hands after this gets out! :)

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect cover from the very woman who sparked the idea of having the book illustrated by readers. My thanks and love.
