I’ve been flicking through my sketchbooks lately to bring some old ideas to life. Did you know, if you sing down the right kind of drain, a haunting, sweet voice will sing back to you?

This week two clients got “the call” and we’re ending the week wrangling up their contracts.

I know publishing feels harder than ever lately, but good things are still happening, and great books are still being scooped up.

Hang in there. ❤️
