(Originally written for Creative Pinellas, as a Professional Artist Grantee!)

A few days ago I received my author proof for Bands of a Small Hurricane! The proof does not yet have a coating on the cover, hence the very obvious scratches from merely sitting on my coffee table for a few hours, but this won’t happen on the finished books, so feel free to ignore those for now. I began this book about 2
