Angel and Jason took a big step this year. They sent out this photo card to their family and friends for the holidays. Don’t they look cute together? Where’s David? Behind the camera, of course. The 3d image was created in DAZ Studio and modified in Photoshop by Call Of The Wild. Like a photographer […]

A New Look For “Ambient Light”
Posted on August 18, 2014 ·

“The Writing Process” – Blog Tour
Posted on April 27, 2014 ·
Creativity does not come boxed up in a one-size-fits-all package. Thankfully. While each writer may draw upon the experiences of successful writers, when it comes to how we create, we blend what we’ve learned with who we are and come up with a process that works for us.
