Congrats to the 2008 Oregon Book Award winner, my wife Sara Ryan! Sara won for her second novel The Rules for Hearts. For those of you who only know me through my work, I illustrated Sara’s stories on Me and Edith Head, Flytrap, and Hellboy:Weird Tales. It’s difficult for me to say to say just how immensely proud I am of her. But hey, that shouldn’t stop you! Go visit her blog and tell her!
