The other day, as I was browsing the internet, I encountered information about Deborah Crombie’s newest book, Necessary as Blood, published by William Morrow. Deborah wrote to me mid-year in 2008 to ask me about my art and techniques, and has kindly acknowledged me on her website.

I’m honored that Deborah, a New York Times notable author, sought my advice, and that she found it useful in the creation of her book, which made the New York Times Bestseller list in late 2009.
