• Illustrating books: What could be better than creating illustrations, bringing characters to life?
• Buying books: I seem to find books to buy even without trying, especially when I’m researching how to sell them! 
• Selling books: The trickier part of writing, launching the finished books out into the world for readers to dive into and loose themselves between the pages…
