I was reading Perecs La Disparition today (a without a letter e in it) and it brought to mind how dark our world can look. Anton Voyl knows a sign is missing, this thought sinks him into insomnia. At night a radio broadcast about nothing important: conflict in Biafra, Cambodia, coup in Conakry. In short, civil war, riots, bombs, all sorts of pain. So our world is always in flux but things stay similar. Tomorrow I wish to find what sign is missing from our world.

It's been a busy few days with the paperback and hardcover release of "The Nemesis Legacy" and the cover reveal for "The Nod/Wells Timelines - The Official Compendium." Still, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who's been picking up the new book and helping to spread the word about the next one. Without all of you, none of this would be possible.

God was not made for us. We are the ones who were made for Him. What we must do, though He doesnt care for us, is adore Him and in the worst circumstances fill our hearts with the pleasure of praising Him.

Beneath Two Worlds: The Key Collectors Saga ,
Journey to Excalibur (The Key Collectors Saga Book 2) ,
In the aftermath of losing her baby girl at 25 weeks, Sloane Warwicks world shatters further when her husband is murdered by the sinister Claude. A mysterious note and key thrust her into a new realm, where allies Grayson and Ella guide her in unlocking hidden powers. With Claudes relentless pursuit to open a portal to Hell, Sloane must confront her grief and depression to stand against him. Joined by a dragon, she fights for her worlds freedom against Claudes malevolent grasp.
What was the inspiration behind your series, The Key Collector Saga
I am not sure, I just wanted a character that was grieving and had to save the worlds. I wanted someone who was suffering from depression to be a hero.
Can you tell us a little about Sloane, your MC You have given her some heavy and difficult things to go through at the start (the loss of her baby at 25 weeks pregnant) for example, which may resonate with a few readers. Can you tell us how this character developed, and why you felt it was important to have her go through these experiences
I myself suffered from early delivery and thought I could do something with my experience. Im sure theyre are women out there who feel powerless and hopeless when theyve lost their baby and its the worst feeling in the world. So I wanted someone to come out strong in the end. And grow to have hope.
What drew you to Arthurian myth as the crux of your fantasy series
Ive always been fascinated by king Arthur and the round table. But I have something different in store for my third book!
What is your favourite part of the worldbuilding in this fantasy world, and why
Just growing the world and exploring what could be and what is! Sloane hasnt been everywhere yet!
What is/are your favourite reader response(s) so far
The depth of emotion and the development of Sloanes character make this a captivating read, with each page leaving readers eager to uncover what lies ahead in Sloanes quest for redemption and freedom was what one Reviewer has left and it tugged at my heart because that was what I was going for!
Do you have any future publication plans, anything we can look out for
My third book which will conclude the trilogy will be out sometime next year. Im also working on a witch/vampire book but not sure if itll be a standalone or not yet.
All she has to do is get the legendary sword, Excalibur. It cant be that hard, can it
After the narrow escape from Claude and Jacob, Grayson and Sloane are back with their friends along with some familiar faces.
Now it is a race against time to get the last key. Sloane and her friends must get it from the fae. Only the fae request one last quest from Sloane before they hand over the key she must get the legendary sword Excalibur.
With no leads but a vague idea, Sloane and her friends head out on a journey of a lifetime to retrieve Excalibur.

The Ultimate Creative Business Playbook How to Earn More as a Designer: An E-Book by WE AND THE COLOR
Money has become the most uncomfortable topic in the design industry. At the same time, it has never been more important. Rates are under pressure. Client expectations keep rising. AI accelerates production but not necessarily income. Many designers feel stuck between passion and sustainability.
I wrote The Ultimate Creative Business Playbook How to Earn More as a Designer because I kept seeing the same pattern. Talented designers struggle financially. Not because they lack skill. Because nobody ever taught them how to run a creative business.
This e-book is my attempt to fix that gap. Directly. Honestly. Without fluff.
Why did I write this e-book about earning more as a designer
Design education focuses on craft. Clients focus on outcomes. The space between those two realities causes frustration, underpricing, and burnout. I have worked in design, publishing, and content for years through WE AND THE COLOR. I have spoken with freelancers, studio owners, and creative founders worldwide. Different disciplines. Same problems.
Designers often ask:
This e-book answers those questions with structure and clarity. It treats design as a profession, not a gamble.
What is The Ultimate Creative Business Playbook about
This e-book is a practical business guide for designers who want more control. More income. Better clients. Less chaos. It does not promise shortcuts. Instead, it shows how earning more becomes a logical result of better decisions.
The focus stays clear:
Everything inside connects creativity with sustainability.
What makes this creative business e-book different
I deliberately avoided generic freelancer advice. No recycled blog wisdom. No motivational noise. This playbook reflects how the design industry actually works today, including platforms, clients, pricing psychology, content, AI, attention economics, etc.
I wrote it in a direct, conversational tone because designers deserve clarity. Every chapter aims to reduce uncertainty and increase confidence. You can read it from start to finish. Or you can jump to the chapter you need right now.
All chapters included in the e-book (with short explanations)

Sets the foundation. Explains why design skills alone no longer guarantee income. Introduces the mindset shift from designer to creative business owner.
Chapter 1: Building a Personal or Studio Brand
Explains why branding goes beyond visuals. Shows how clarity, positioning, and reputation attract better clients before conversations even start.
Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Design Business (Legal, Financial, and Tools)
Covers the unsexy but critical basics. Business structure, finances, contracts, and tools that protect your work and your income.
Chapter 3: Defining and Finding Your Ideal Clients
Shows how to stop chasing everyone. Learn how to identify clients who value design and pay accordingly.
Chapter 4: Pricing Strategies and Negotiation
Breaks down hourly rates, flat fees, retainers, and value-based pricing. Explains how to present prices with confidence and negotiate without fear.
Chapter 5: Client Onboarding and Contracts
Focuses on professional processes. Clear onboarding, expectations, and contracts that prevent conflict and protect your time.
Chapter 6: Time Management and Productivity
Demonstrates how productivity directly affects income. Work smarter, not longer. Protect focus. Reduce burnout.
Chapter 7: Marketing and Outreach Strategies
Explains how designers can market without feeling fake. Content, visibility, SEO basics, and relationship-driven growth.
Chapter 8: Scaling Your Income (Passive Income, Products, and Courses)
Shows how to move beyond trading time for money. Digital products, templates, teaching, and productized services.
Chapter 9: Building Partnerships and Collaborations
Explores collaboration as leverage. How partnerships unlock larger projects, shared audiences, and new revenue streams.
Chapter 10: Navigating the Creative Economy and Emerging Trends
Addresses AI, platforms, and industry shifts. Focuses on adaptation without fear or hype.
Chapter 11: Sustaining Creativity and Avoiding Burnout
Because income means nothing without energy. This chapter focuses on longevity, balance, and protecting creative motivation.

Reconnects business success with personal definition of freedom. Encourages implementation, reflection, and continuous growth.

My honest view on earning more as a designer
Earning more does not mean selling out. It means respecting your work. Designers create real value. Strategy, clarity, and systems allow that value to translate into income. This e-book exists to make that translation easier.
