Dear Friends, NEWS FLASH! I'll be teaching Celtic Art for Kids at Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, WV. July 20-25 is Irish Week and my class will be part of a wonderful program of Irish/Celtic music, culture and crafts. You can still sign up by going to the website at http://www.augustaheritage.com/kids-teens.html Plenty of great stuff for Mom & Dad too. THE BOOKS ARE IN ! We are busy shipping out copies of the Limited First Edition of "Little Town of Spirals", the new children's picture book I have written and illustrated. Only 2000 copies will be made of this first edition and they are going fast. CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A LITERARY AGENT OR PUBLISHER TO EXPAND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LOVELY BOOK! This is a fine art, keepsake book and I have tried to take all the right steps to make it a beautiful gift which will last a long time.
