The Artist’s Rule is featured at the Patheos Book Club

I am delighted that The Artist’s Rule will be one of the featured books at the Patheos Book Club for the last half of August.

Visit the book club page to find:

  • an interview with me about contemplation and creativity
  • an excerpt from the book (chapter 1)

I will post updates with links here.
