November 1st the day! I'm putting the book out without much fan fair or big events. Life is lifing these days, so I'm not getting a lot of self-promotion done. I can truly say that this book is one of my greatest creative achievements. Period! It speaks for itself. If you haven't read the series, DO IT! I'm so proud of my Nicholas! We are living in dark times, but Nicholas is a bright light in that darkness. Don't miss out on this one.

Welcome friends to The Wonderous Makers, supported by Believe In Wonder Publishing! This group is our place to promote creativity in all its forms! You are invited to come and share your creative experiences, and find as many opportunities as possible to encourage those who may be struggling to find their inspiration. The world we're living in now needs your light, your ideas, and your stories. We are a community of makers, and we support each other and lift each other up. When our creative fire starts to ebb, we share our light with one another. So share the group with other creatives, crafters, musicians, and anyone who needs inspiration. Together we will shine bright, be brilliant, and believe in wonder. Happy New Year!

]]><![CDATA[Cover reveal for THE MAGIC WE MISS!]]>Sat, 04 May 2024 00:31:55 GMThttps://believeinwonder.weebly.com/wonder-blog/cover-reveal-for-the-magic-we-missI present the cover design for The Magic We Miss, An Anthology of the Magic Around Us! The idea has lived rent-free in my head for over two years. It's super satisfying to get it out into the world. I even went and did some reference photos at Beaverton Transit Center. A really nice guy on his way to the airport helped me with some of the shots. Josie and I can't wait to share this book, filled with incredible tales of magic around us, each lovingly created by from our fellow Oregon storytellers. Coming Fall 2024 from Believe In Wonder Publishing! #BelieveInWonder
