A really cool surprise

My covers have Raine on them, and only Raine on them. And more than likely, that will always be the case (so sayeth my publisher). But a lot of you have been dying to know what Mychael and Tam look like, so I thought that I'd get an artist to render a really good pencil drawing of each of them. I could post it here on my site, and you all could finally see what the men in Raine's life look like.

Well . . . I know an amazing artist. She's recently read the books and is now a fan. And she paints portraits. She's going to paint two portraits in either oil or acrylic -- one of Tam and one of Mychael. I had lunch with her yesterday and she showed me her first sketch of Tam.

Oh. My.

Needless to say, I cannot wait to see these. I don't know when they'll be finished. She's a perfectionist, so I told her to take her time and get them exactly the way she wants them. She'll probably be doing Tam's portrait first, so I'll post it when it's done.

I feel like a kid at Christmas. : )

I know I was supposed to blog on Procrastination today, but I'll put it off until tomorrow. ; )

I'll have my webmaster make a special page for character portraits.

I can't wait to see them, either. ; )

FRIDAY afternoon -- I'm still trying to post today's blog. Apparently Blogger is having problems. Keep checking back. I'll keep trying.

Sounds cool!

Yes, Blogger is being weird at times today. No idea why. Nobody is updating... I may have to go face the latter half of chapter 2 earlier than anticipated. Darn.

Yep, I still can't post my blog, but it is up over at my Yahoo site (the link is on my blog page and my home page). Now might be a good time to join. They're chatty over there tonight. ; ) And I'll be popping in from time to time. Tonight I'm working on Chapter 1, and I plan to have it finished this weekend. Hopefully Almost-Hurricane Hanna won't knock out our power, but my laptop battery is fully charged, so I can work for hours. Hmmmm, maybe I better print what I've written so far and the rest of my Chapter 1 notes -- just in case we're without power for a while. That way I can at least keep working in longhand.
