to envision life
In bright color, in my grasp
Like my children, art

Author note: This is the cover art created by my friend Carol Makky, for my novel The Half Paper Moon. Please check out her art! https://carolmakky.weebly.com
It is a dream to see my vision of these characters brought to such beautiful and vivid life and I’m so proud and happy to see them in this way. This cover represents a scene directly from the novel, wherein Barbara and Connie have an impromptu late night swim.

At My Wits’ End
Life is about taking out the trash and calling it trash because you have every reason to. It wasn't meant to be linear, they say. But the times you tried to make it straight led to problems, and you didn’t have the tools to put any of it to use. You don't put your right shoes on the right feet; you put the left shoes on the left feet. The grey hardened slab will trip you up anyway.

Wow really look forward to that
Love it 💗
The artwork of Barbara and Connie is so beautiful and your Haiku was so deep!
Very nice
Charles Dickens supposedly said once that the characters he wrote were like his children. Very relatable.
I love this and will check out your book as well! Well done!
