Deep in the forest where the wind never blows
In a far away cave where the sun never shines

Legend of the StarMan
This is a character I have been developing for a picture book, but he may find his way into Winston's story at some point if he can't find any other home.
Lives a man made of stars and the branches of pines

Hi Ginger! Love your new format and Winston's adventures! I've been considering doing a blog for Cosmo, but not sure if I should wait until my book is much closer to being finished - which is going to be awhile! I LOVE Starman he is truly beautiful with his prickly hair and glowing stars. Is he Native American inspired? I love NA legends and am working on a scene from one now, can't wait to reveal it!
Also, I passed the Renee Award on to you just now. You have been a source of creative support and inspiration for many months to me and it means a lot - I truly appreciate it. So grab the award and enjoy! Cheers...Susan
Hi Susan, The starman was born out of those few lines that I wrote ... and is more of a Native Arctic character. When I visited Alsaka I was fascinated by the native peoples and their own legends. So I made one up of my own. Hopefully it will find its way into a book one day, and if not I will keep at least a Dummy on my desk to remind me of those wonderful people that I met.
Once I had written the first verse I was determined to fit it into a story.
Thank you for the Renee Award ~
