Hopefully now more people can appreciate your insights and narrative gifts. Congrats again. Looking forward to the release. Now I’m gonna go watch the Oscars… John Speredakos

      I appreciate your very kind words, John! Thank you. I also appreciate your purchase of the book. The cover art is not mine, but I had a feeling many would think so after I saw it. The publisher’s design team came up with it, making similar designs for the other editions in this series. The focal point is the illustrative portrait of the author, with iconography based on their works surrounding them. I honestly didn’t like the cover at first (thinking it looked a bit juvenile), but it has since grown on me. Together, the set looks very attractive!
