Much as I like the idea of collaborating, creatively, with other artists, it's not always easy.
I am very specific in my tastes and the vision that I want for my work.
For the launch of my 9th book, Learning to Pray a collection of my spiritual reflections, I reached out to a young creative type on Hive: @WeOne, and I got lucky!
Ryan @WeOne listened to my vision for the book's video trailer, which involved whirling dervishes, Sufi mystics, music and poetry. He had suggestions of his own, regarding style and content, of our collaboration. I'm pleased with the outcome you see above -- after several drafts, which Ryan was patient to work with me on -- and hope it might tempt viewers to check out the book for themselves :)
