I ardently dislike having my picture taken--looking back at decades of family photos, there are stretches of time where it's difficult to find me in any of them. So bless Stephanie for putting up with me as she attempted to take the perfect shot for the back of the book cover as well as this site. First there was the debate about wardrobe, then the setting, smile or no smile, etc. First inside, then outside where she climbed up and down a ladder looking for the just the rig

I'm very excited to have the supremely talented Stephanie Rocha on board to help design the cover of Serendipity, which essentially involves doing everything she can to calmly point me in another direction from the 1,000 bad ideas I proposed. We met at length last night and barely covered the basics, so it's the start of a long and possibly arduous (but fun) project. In the meantime, check her work out at stephanierocha.com!

Hello! By the time you read this, the Serendipity website should be fully functional and beautiful, but for now it's a bit of a shell. So much to do, but I can feel the excitement building. I hope to create a place to learn something about the book, sure, but also to share your own experiences with chance and to get to know each other. I'd say "wish me luck," but I hope it's obvious that the work has already been put in. Until next time...
