Now I'm off to make sure I have the next episode ready in time...and maybe I'll have some FOUND behind-the-scenes videos to share in the future. Thanks for joining me on this journey! Amanda

I'm glad to have the opportunity to share Questless with subscribers over on Line Webtoon , but I'm excited to see the story on the pages of a book, the way I designed it. And now that Chapter One is almost done, it’s time to print the book! But if there's a book, that means I need a cover...

Since I finished most of the artwork for Questless a few months ago and then tackled another project in a different style--more on that in a bit!--getting back into the Questless groove for the cover took a little time. (And

Hello, friends! If your March was anything like mine, it was quite...unexpected. (Anyone else feel like you've video chatted more in the last month than the rest of your life combined?) I'd like to share a happy distraction, so here is a collection of 12 Jane Austen greeting cards to print and color--for free ! If you need something fun and relaxing to do, get out your colors and turn on a Jane Austen audiobook!* Bonus: You'll have a card to send to a friend. :) Click here to download the FREE printable PDF! Six pages (2 cards per page) formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper.*I recently re-re-listened to Persuasion on LibriVox , narrated by Elizabeth Klett--she does an amazing job on this and many other Jane Austen books! As you can see, the Jane Austen pins arrived, and I love them! My sister and I spent a few afternoons last week sorting, packaging, and shipping out the first orders. It's super fun to see my designs come to life. Thanks to my amazing Kickstarter ba
