Autumn’s Arrival is more
than the coming of a season;
it is the story of a Journey -
of the power of Love
and the radiant Hope
of Family.
We just celebrated the 2nd birthday of our wonderful daughter Autumn Ember, and after working for a large majority of that time on a picture book about her adoption story it is going to print this week!
The book will be a 32 page full-color picture book that has a linen color with two metallic foil stamps on the cover. We will only be printing 1000 of these and I will be signing and numbering each one. They are being printed right nearby in Clarksville, Tennessee via API print productions.

These books and the prints, sketches, and woodblocks used to create the illustrations will be released at an upcoming event here in Athens GA.
