Post from India
Dear Bright Souls,
I am honored to share a post about THE IMPROBABLE WONDERS OF MOOJIE LITTLEMAN, written by Lakshmi Raj Sharma of the University of Allahabad:

It took me thirteen years to write the book. I now can say that it was worth the trouble.
Please take a look at his published books while you are there!
Warm blessings,

Spotlight on Catrin Welz-Stein, Acclaimed Digital Artist
Greetings, maties!
I am thrilled to introduce you to CATRIN WELZ-STEIN, cover artist for my début novel, “The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman.” Recognized for its complexity, depth, and fantasy, her artwork simultaneously captures personal elements that invite both cultural and spiritual commentary.
Catrin was born and raised in Germany. After graduating from the Darmstadt School of Design, she worked in advertising in Germany, the US, and Switzerland. Drawing from her studies and experience, she developed a method of using vintage, out-of-copyright photos and illustrations to create digital images. The minute I saw her superb boy-tree entitled “Harvest Life,” I pictured it on my novel’s cover. With the help of Nancy Cleary, my publisher, I designed the front and back cover backgrounds and text. On the heels of my book winning the IPPY Gold Medal for Best Cover Design - Fiction - 2015, and following Catrin's triumphant solo exhibition in Art Revolution Taipei, I am thrilled to present you with this interview with sensational images: http://www.madmysticaljourney.com/blo...
