Illustrations for The Christmas Stone

There are a lot of different elements that go into a book. It isn't just about the writing, cover and printing. Much of the unsung work takes place in typesetting--the guts of the book. I'm very blessed to be surrounded by talented people.  My sister Kathy is one of the most talented artists I know.  She did the portrait sketches for "Surviving Columbine" and when my publisher suggested we add simple illustrations as chapter headings for "The Christmas Stone" I knew Kathy had to do them.


These two sketches will be featured in the book along with ten others (12 total). Hope you enjoy the sneek peek!
