Mirabelle Island

 
Visit once, fall in Love for a Lifetime
The details about Mirabelle Island, the setting for 7 of my books,
didn't come to me all at once with FIRST COME TWINS.  The island truly evolved with each book I wrote.  The cursory drawing below is
what I first mapped out on the white board in my office.
Pretty basic, but all I needed at the time.





As the Mirabelle books have evolved, so has the island itself.
More and more details were added to my white board and a lot was only in my head. I wanted readers to be able to see that vision, so I commissioned an artist to do an illustration of Mirabelle.
After sending him a rudimentary drawing and exchanging emails, this is his first attempt.






More emails and a couple of phone calls and we get this ...





Add color and a legend and it finally looks like what's in my head.
Voila!
