I heard you on Andy J. Pizza's podcast. I loved hearing about your journey and am excited for your book! (And I visited West Liberty U a looong time ago as a guest writer. 😊)

Woah, you really visited WLU?! It's such a small school, I'm shocked when folks have heard of it or been there. Thanks for listening to the episode. I really enjoy your illustrations!

Thank you so much! And yes, I went to grad school in Cincinnati with someone who ended up teaching at WLU (Steve Criniti in English), and he invited me to give a talk/reading. It was really charming!

I found you during COVID on skillshare, and have loved your watercolors since then! I'm making my way through the tutorials in your first book. Thank you for sharing all your adventures! Plus you have an awesome first name :-) hehe

Wow, you’ve been around for a while, then! Thanks for following along and I hope you’re still having a fun time with watercolor. And I like your name, too! 😉

Whoohoo! So exciting. I was so honored to write a blurb endorsing the beauty of this book.

I somehow just stumbled upon you (thanks, Substack!) and pre-ordered as soon as I saw the gorgeous sample illustrations you gave us. I’m really looking forward to it!

I forgot to add: my family and I visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park this summer!

Wishing you the very best with sales and all your other exciting projects 😊 You really have an eye for vivid detail. I was pleased to find I could pre order through UK Amazon site, albeit with a later delivery. Your site caught my attention initially with your description of recent art supplies, and I visited your part of the States decades ago, based in Tennessee. Retired and dabbling, rather than a career artist, but I found your recent podcast interview and your experiences in creating a niche fascinating.

Just adding…your book was scheduled by Amazon UK on a recent email to arrive today, but I had an updated email instead…now due to arrive between 14th December 2024 and April 3rd 2025. I am happy to wait, but thought you might like to be aware of this😊

Done! Pre-ordered and thank you so much for the bonus painting guide! I loved your 1st book -- the projects were so do-able and I couldn't believe that I had actually created some of them, like the praying mantis! Best wishes on your new book!
