I’m really excited to share my first book, The Letters. If you move over to the Ways to Purchase section you can read a brief description. I would like to give credit to the photographer of the cover, Caleb North. I’m also proud to be his aunt!
When I asked Caleb if he would create the cover for me, I had an idea as to what I wanted. I was so excited to see the finished product, he created it exactly as I had pictured it.
The image is taken on an antique secretary that came from my mother’s family. On it are two very old, tissue paper thin letters that were written during World War II. One of them is from my grandfather to my grandmother, written while he was serving our country. The other letter is a letter from my grandmother to my grandfather. Sitting on top of those two letters are my reading glasses. I love how Caleb was able to capture the letters so the reader can see they are hand-written. I will always be grateful to him for taking the picture in my mind and turning it into a reality.
The other pictures on this website, my head shot and the picture of my family, are taken by Caleb as well. The photo shoot with my family will remain as a favorite memory of ours. More often, photo shoots are something to endure, a lot of “look at the camera and smile.” However, one of Caleb’s talents as a photographer is to bring laughter and even some silliness to the occasion, and we had so much fun!
So this blog is a thank you to Caleb, for the role he played in this project, and for creating a professional cover for my book.
