"I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable." —Woody Allen
Who I'd like to meet: I'm not likely to accept invitations unless I actually know you. I'm heartless, sorry.
Hi Anna! Novel #2 is coming through so differently than MERCY did! I hope you get to work on that jacket as well. Even now, I STILL get comments on how lovely MERCY's is. Happy Autumn! RAD
Designer of book covers....Anna... Hey! YOU DID MERCY's!!! People tell me all the time how much they love the jacket. What do I love? That you and the team really "got" the book and gave it a cover to match. THANK YOU. Very best wishes, RAD
