In an earlier posting, I said something about Lio Lo, who painted the wonderful scene on the cover of The Hat.

It’s time to say something about Brandon Young, who looked after the interior design of that book. I spent days trying to find someone with skills I don’t possess to look after that all-important element in making a book look great. One false step led to another until, more or less out of the blue, I learned about Brandon Young, who lives in Australia. In the age of the internet, it really doesn’t matter where anyone lives anymore. Brandon (see photo) did a terrific job on the interior design of The Hat.

Brandon is a writer as well, and today, Feb. 20, he is launching a Kickstarter for an anthology of talented, emerging writers in Australia. Check it out at http://www.planetbastard.com
