Boots and all

Sometimes in life things fall into place as if by magic. Recently I was contacted by a delightful young artist called Amber Martin. She’d read my books and, without realising I’d seen her art.

We connected creatively in an instant and now Amber is busily finishing a cover for my latest non-fiction eBook.

Many country folk would’ve seen Amber’s work on an RM Williams publication, featuring two boots.

Even though I didn’t know at the time it was Ambers’ work I remember thinking how beautiful the painting was. What’s unusual about Amber’s work is she uses boot polish to help create her paintings and she sees her subjects through the eyes of a country girl.

As soon as I saw her website, I knew she was the one to create the cover for my new book, Wise Women and Hot Dogs — which is an eBook collating training tips for working dog owners.

We’ll launch the book in May at Agfest and for now, I’m waiting excitedly for what Amber, my delightful new-found friend and colleague from Orange, NSW has created. View her work here.
