Thank you - yes, he was talented in so many ways. I was so fortunate to have been able to work with him on this project - and wish we could have done more together.

What an honour to have your father illustrate your books. Wow! And to travel with him, and journal with him while he sketched. Just such a simple thing, but so rich. This was lovely to read. And I am so sorry about So No Nis ending before you were able to finish--I had forgotten about the fire. Maybe one day you’ll self-pub and finish the trilogy.

I was so fortunate to have such a close relationship with my father. I sure wish we had done more collaborative projects together... Re. the self-publishing option for the trilogy - I've thought about that. Of course, then I'd have to write the third book and that would mean trying to remember what I thought was going to happen...
