Alphabet Soup


Hmmmmm....Let me explain...
In my professional day job, I am Val Lesiak, greeting card designer.  I go by the name of Valerie Drake running my portrait business with my husband Norman Drake. 

I thought to see what my illustrated letters would look like in a book so I used blurb.com to make one. It felt kind of impressive. Here is my cover illustration. I am thinking of looking for a publisher and have yet to decide on Lesiak or Drake, although my grandfather wrote mystery stories under the pen name of Drexel Drake.  Maybe the Drake name would bring it luck. Who knows?
