Color My Book!

This was fun to turn my novel’s cover into a coloring page. (You should be able to right click the images to download and then print.)

So I decided to try it again.

And finally, my favorite. Let me know if you like these and I’ll try it with some more covers.

Quotes by Cindy Thomson (?)

“She lifted the book to her nose. A book had a smell more soothing than any of Mrs. Hawkins's herbs. There was nothing like a good story to take her out of a world she didn't much like.”

Cindy’s Quotes

“Not all those who wander are lost.”

“The Celt, and his cromlechs, and his pillar-stones, these will not change much – indeed, it is doubtful if anybody at all changes at any time. In spite of hosts of deniers, and asserters, and wise-men, and professors, the majority still are adverse to sitting down to dine thirteen at a table, or being helped to salt, or walking under a ladder, of seeing a single magpie flirting his chequered tale. There are, of course, children of light who have set their faces against all this, although even a newspaperman, if you entice him into a cemetery at midnight, will believe in phantoms, for everyone is a visionary, if you scratch him deep enough. But the Celt, unlike any other, is a visionary without scratching.”
