There's so much story in it that I knew Jimmy had to be a great storyteller to convey that to you as the designer, Maria.<br /><br />As always, I'm fascinated at the behind the scenes peek. The process of design is so mysterious.

Believe me!
Thank you yet again ...And stop they do. Believe me!<br />Thank you yet again for doing such a superb and masterful job of putting a face on the book that the muse gave me. *grins* The whole project just has this magical component to it that none of my other books had. The story came to me quickly, it has all the elements that I love about story-telling, and in spite of the fact that I had so many other things to do - it only took about a year for it to come to life and be ready to be shared.<br />Maria, you are very sweet to say these things. I adore you right back! I am incredibly pleased with this beautiful cover, but I am blessed to call you friend.<br />*hugs*<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-76325187393468154012013-05-30T07:39:23.017-05:002013-05-30T07:39:23.017-05:00This is a wonderful advert for both of you and the...This is a wonderful advert for both of you and the story behind it is fascinating.
