Whew! Here we are on the last day of November! It’s been a crazy week for me, with my last toe surgery & Thanksgiving the next day. I’ve rested for a few days and now, I’m ready to go!!
So, let’s begin the new week with a glimpse of the book cover for the 2025 Sunflower Tanka Anthology!
This cover reflects the theme of dreams by highlighting this lovely, magical, dream-like woman painted by Robbie Cheadle. The woman is encircled by yellow and orange flowers, which in color psychology represent creativity. We added the painting to the photograph. We are both thrilled with the results.
I love this cover and the dream like qualities of the woman. Please help me thank Robbie for her hard work on this anthology. 🧡
My next step is to get everything uploaded to Amazon. Robbie and I will let you know as soon as the book publishes.
Thanks for your patience and your confidence in us to bring you an anthology you can be proud of.
Many thanks!
Robbie & Colleen – Contributing Editors of the 🌻 2025 Sunflower Tanka Anthology 🌻
