I received my reversion of rights letter on Saturday for my young adult novel Hannah's Garden and am now very excited. I have sent to this place, to have the novel returned into a file that I use to upload to an e-reader. I am also working with a couple of local artists to get the cover designed and I hope a few small interior bits and pieces, such as chapter headings.
In the meantime, do enjoy more from the artist whose work is included here, Svetla Dorosheva. Her work is so fabulous -- combining the calligrahper's steady hand with the sensual lines of a Beardsley, the rich elaboration of an Adrienne Ségur and the delicacy in her children's drawings of a Marja Lee Kruyt. Yeah...that good. Have a look at the collection of Weird and Wonderful Fairy Tale Illustrations and What is Man? I realize I have only used the black and sepia drawings -- but her color work is lovely. Have a look at The Former Lives of Flowers.
