I'm on a publishing high this winter, rolling out the #SIXObooks to celebrate turning 60. Challenged with the idea of branding six books that have only one thing in common (me), I gave designer Kapo Amos Ng the baseline concept "neo-retro, if that's a thing - like 1970s Polish poster art" and he ran with it.
My favorite moments are the Sugarland butterfly (that fabulous twist of Georgia O'Keeffe!) and Smartie's old school typewriter. Across the board, Kapo nailed the quirky, ironic, vaguely perverse, and occasionally pissed off joie de vivre that defines my writing vibe. When I look at these books, I see the stories inside. In many ways, it's the story of my life.
