And trying to get over it. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Wishing for a(nother) winter wonderland. I gotta say it: christmas always comes too fast. i would like there to be 2 months between thanksgiving and christmas. there are just not enough days for me to prepare. and i am even more behind than i've been in previous years. christmas cards not even started yet! That should be interesting, and nice. well, it will have to suffice). I thought you didn't like all this cold." i said: "what? I don't like gray.

And trying to get over it. Friday, June 17, 2011. Not to be constantly griping about the weather, (the local news DID call the month we just had "mayvember" by the way, AND area billboards have taken to suggesting we take a break from the "sweltering 68 degrees" - with a beer, and that "who needs the sun? In an effort to focus on the positive, i thought i would post some sunny pictures. i like to follow the sun around, so here we are catching some rays at greenlake. And many days, even cloudy days, the s...

Cover art is finished – Peter Michael Diamantopoulos

http://touchstoneseries.com/2013/08/19/cover-art-is-finished

Author of the Endless Inheritance. Cover art is finished. August 19, 2013. The cover art slowly grew through about thirty different incarnations. It started an abstract image with glowing light. Then switched to something more simple with just the stone. Then back again to the more surreal image that became final. This cover would have been impossible without help from Chip Holt.
