When I was in third grade a Yo-Yo master (I assume that was his title, if not it should have been) came to our school. I don’t know why, other than maybe to sell Yo-yo’s. He was amazing. Imagine the most amazing exhibit of skill with a tool like a sword or baton, now replace the tool with a yo-yo. It was something like that. So we had this assembly, all of us were wow’ed by the yo-yo tricks the master and his lackeys performed. Then it ended with “You can buy a yo-yo in back” or something like that. I don’t recall the specifics, it was 3rd grade after all. The key takeaway is that I ended up with a yo-yo. Not the one pictured, that’s my new yo-yo….

Part of the reason for the program is that Denver has a LOT of ash trees and it’s likely the emerald ash borer will eventually destroy them. I applied, I was approved, for TWO trees! I was assigned two bur oak trees. They planted them in September, like ninjas! I was home, never heard them arrive. At any rate, I had the trees. The compact you agree to…
If you’ve been following along at home, you know I’ve been on the look out for a single unified look for the Ghost. I’ve found it, more or less :) I found an awesome designer on Deviant Art and after a little discussion and back and forth, the New Ghost was born! We came up with a bunch of angles for the ship, so not only do I have assets for the Cover of Space Rouges 4: Stay Warm, Don’t Die, but I’ve got assets to now update the covers of the previous 3 books to unify what the Ghost looks like. I’m excited! While I’ve loved every version and the artists who created them, it’ll be nice to have a completely my own design ship to show off. I…
