So Many Books, So Little Time...



I made this one for my wonderful agent Sorche Fairbank, to send as a calender image to her clients in the book publishing world. [She's the very agent who helped me pick a publisher for my book, haven't you heard that news already? If not, read my previous post, hehe.]

Anyway, I had grand plans to make a special holiday image for this little blog, but the real world (my real job), has gotten the better of me the last few days. The picture here has a lot of red and green in it, so it's got that little bit of a Christmas feel, I guess. Also, there isn't anyone being shot or whatever here, so it's kinda of a cheery image. I know! For the sake of this time of year, let's call it "Reading Christmas Lists". Er, no, let's call it, "Have You Been a Good Little Book This Year?". Yeah, that's it!

Genius.

Why, a book is always the best Christmas gift!

But then, the idea of Santa being able to read us like a book isn't too far off of the tradition.

Merry Christmas!

Maureen said...

I keep thinking the big bookmark is Daddy reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to all his little booklets...

Great as always, Terry.

The little book walking away looks so dejected! It's all over for him. Cheer up little fella, it'll be OK!

You could almost see the Bookmark as Santa, with that red tassel hat, and all the books coming to sit on his lap...

Hi! I just hopped on over to your site and I think it's awesome! If possible, I'd like to link to here with one of your images on my blog. Would that be OK with you?

Terry said...

Thanks everyone!

Shanella- As long as there's a link back to my blog, that would be fine.

Shanella said...

Thank you =) I'll post it tomorrow. I'm definitely looking forward to the book.
