Followup to Review of Vengeance is Mine...Give Us Some Feedback! Just for Fun... Writers Do Your Storyboard?

When I create the characters, I always envision what they might actually look like to make them seem more real. I have included some of my storyboard depictions below so you can see my ideas, but I love the images you chose as well. You nailed the dark braid on the victims. And Castle would absolutely make a wonderful Tucker! Thank you again very much for such a comprehensive and thoroughly entertaining review. It's one of the best reviews I have received and I'm very proud to have it. Most Gratefully, Harry Here's some feedback I got from Harry Krebs. I had added some of my thoughts via picture and Harry came back with his own! Cool... Now, he was quite accepting of my selections, but we thought it would be fun to share how they rank up against his own storyboard... Now Here's the Techie Part... Pull up my review in one window and this in the other... See the book excerpt for further info... Harry's                                    

Talanov News - Cover Reveal - Movie! Check out A Favorite Book Character!

Dear friends and family, As many of you know, I've been working the past year -- that's right, I said  year  -- on the screen adaptation of my upcoming Talanov thriller,  DRAGON HEAD . And I am proud to present the official book cover to you here and now. The same artist who designed the gold-medal-award-winning cover for  November Echo  also designed this one.

It's all good, however, because pressure like this makes me dig deep and work hard.  If I'm asking you to invest a few bucks and your time in one of my books, it is my responsibility to provide you with a story that honors that investment. For me, such a task is a privilege. Thank you for allowing me that privilege. As

In the center of the room was a short table. On it rested a small cauldron, much like the one they found in Sasha Winston's duffle. Next to the cauldron sat a bell, a small stick with a crystal attached to the end of it, a small broom, and an athame. "Stand next to me, child," said Victoria, taking Chennelle's hand and guiding her. "First Barbara will take the athame and will walk around us creating the circle of power. We must all stay iinside of the circle or the energy will be broken." Chennelle say Barbara pick up the dagger and walk around everyone holding it out as though slicing through the air to make a circle. Then she muttered something Chennelle couldn't quite hear in four places around the circle before replacing the athame on the table... Victoria spoke again in a whisper. "That is our altar. She will light the black candle to banish evil and to bring us protection and then the red to bring us strength in the coming days. That one is
