I finally received my first royalty check from Zumaya Publications this week, so now I breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to a time I may get to add them to my little author bio on the right side of this blog.

People often query me about work and ask me if I take on clients outside of my two publishers. The answer is that I do. That’s why I have the words “freelance artist and graphic designer” after my name; I take on extra work to supplement my income.

But I link specifically to Liquid Silver Books and to Loose Id in my bio because my income from each is large enough that I get 1099 tax forms from them at the end of each tax year. How can I not give free daily linkage for backsheesh like that?

This doesn’t include administrative duties or phone meetings. So, officially, THIS is my day job.

So here’s some of what I have in my recently completed projects bin:
