Everybody know what day it is?!
“Cover Reveal Day!” cries Will Scarlet.
No, that was actually two days ago.
“St. Patrick’s Day,” says Allyn-a-Dale.
The snakes of Ireland beware. But that’s not what I’m talking about either.
“All right, then – out with it,” says Will. “What’s the occasion this time?”
It’s the 2-year anniversary of my first published novel, INSPIRED!
Allyn’s brows fly upward. “Two years already! …Or ought I say, only two years? How time does race by at a crawl.”
True dat. Either way, this milestone calls for revels. So I’m providing goodies of two different sorts.
1) “Thoughts and Impressions” – an INSPIRED excerpt, as read by me
Because nothing jinxes my ability to get through a few paragraphs without blunders like trying to capture it on camera. XD But we got the video in the end. Click here to view!
2) “This is only the beginning” – INSPIRED doodles, as sketched by me
Because I don’t take nearly enough time to draw self-fan-art, these days.
Full sketch-dump, as dictated by my muse
Annabelle detail
Abishan detail
Yves detail
Knight detail
Light detail
I feel a little bad that there’s no Uri representation in this piece. Then again, Annabelle and Wilbur were deprived of speaking parts in a video excerpt where everyone else got to talk. So, y’know, fair’s [un]fair.
Happy anniversary, dear novel o’ mine! May this day’s tribute inspire old readers to revisit your pages, and new readers to discover all the stories you have to tell.
Join the celebration! Share your INSPIRED thoughts and impressions in the comments!
