that there are.

Creative Finesse has undertaken a minor, yet exciting, publishing role with the new novel A Different Light, by Taylor Van Son. The recently released novel, You Rang!, is also under this publishing umbrella. Future titles are already in the works.
The publishing process was intriguing and also very educational. Though many may be intimidated by the thought of this, my Creative Finesse background - and the many faces and hats that includes - allowed me to dive right in. The design of the book covers for A Different Light & You Rang! are also credited to Creative Finesse.
