Reader, writer, or both?: all of the above :)

Favorite Genre: fantasy

He chooses fifteen people and works with them for a week on their work. A huge dream come true for any spec author.

Your artwork is stunningly enchanting. God has gifted you.

Orson Scott Card has a book titled, "Enchantment" - a 9th century Russian version of "Sleeping Beauty" - you are probably aware of it. The title of that book is the word I think many would use to describe your artwork.

May God continue to speak through your art and writing.

I'm sure you'll be refreshed and given direction at the conference to continue in His will.

I hope you have a great weekend.

I am of the opinion, along with many others, that you have a rare and beautiful gift.

My top five are:
#1 Disarm
#2 Disarm
#3 Disarm
#4 Decadence
#5 Innocence

I note that much of your post 4/2/08@12:11 pm is spot-on as well.

I look forward to reading your book someday. It's wonderful.

I hope you have a great week.

I just read your first chapter of Golden, and all I can say is wow! Very intense. I'm not big on fantasy books, but wow. You are a wonderful writer. And the music you chose was perfect for the chapter. :) It was great. And the pic's. of your characters are wonderful.
