Today has been a good day. I had my harp lesson, then brought a bunch of stuff over to my new apartment and reveled in the idea of my own space. The sun is shining and it is warmer than I was expecting it to be.

When I came home, I had an e-mail awaiting me from WildSide Press with notification that a book featuring my cover art had been published and a shipment of the books would be headed my way shortly. I was not expecting the book to be printed until the summer of this year. Out of curiosity, I searched Amazon for the title, and lo and behold, it is there with my art emblazoned on the cover: Harp, Pipe, and Symphony by Paul DiFillipo. This is my first real book cover, and I feel really accomplished! I feel the graphic designer incorporated my piece very well with the type and overall color scheme. It's especially appropriate that the novel is about Thomas the Rhymer, who has had a profound influence on my own path. I cannot wait to see and read it for myself.
