First– to everyone who has sent e-mail notes of congratulations, questions, or requests for autographed copies of either Darkness Folding Inward or The Dreamkeeper Messages, please know that I am working my way through my packed e-mail box as quickly as I can. Your support and interest is most gratefully appreciated!

I am simply stunned by what has happened for the last two days as a result of the gracious online review of Darkness Folding Inward, Light Emerging by the wry and astute financial analyst George Ure at Urban Survival. In the hours since his review went live, I have had both robust sales and a flood of requests for additional information.

Thank you to George for expressing an interest in my book, taking the time to read it, and then sharing his thoughts about it online. You are a star, George!

Now — allow me to change the topic a bit and give some credit to someone ELSE who has been an essential part of this whole process.

Yes — I did the hard slog as the writer, but I am ever so aware of how a visual impact plays into people’s decision-making process about what to buy. I don’t think that the books would be having this splendid success if those people who made purchases hadn’t (1) first been piqued with curiosity by George Ure’s charming and generous review and (2) were then pleased with the appearance of the cover art.

The credit for the cover design sits squarely on the shoulders of a talented man named Greg Calvert. I found a graphic for the cover of Darkness Folding Inward and he implemented it beautifully — and in the case of the striking cover for The Dreamkeeper Messages, he created the entire image from scratch.

Every aspect of the beautiful layout on the front and back cover, every page and header of the internal workings of the book, all of this is the diligent labour of Greg Calvert who has been my friend and editor for many years now.

And thank heavens for the connectivity of the Internet! Although I live in Australia and Greg lives in Colorado, the collaboration has succeeded beautifully because we can send the documents and the graphics and the endless revisions back and forth to one another via broadband connections instead of the post.

Again — thank you for your patience as I get to your individual emails. The ongoing positive thoughts from my readers worldwide are greatly appreciated!
