This month’s Coloring Page is the last one in the ABC of Lesser Known Goddesses series.
What better way to celebrate the end of 2010 than with the letter Z?
Zorya Vechernyaya is a Russian Goddess who opens the castle gates for her father at the end of each day. Since this is the last letter of the alphabet it is also the end of the series. The downloads on the yahoo group web site will stay up until Yule. Then they will be removed. You might be wondering why. It’s simple — all 26 letters — with new art for some of them — will be turned into a bound coloring book — available for purchase soon on amazon. Check back for details in a few weeks.
Meanwhile enjoy the new coloring page. Send your colored image (less than 1mb) to lyon (at) handcraftedpagan (dot) com and I’ll post it to my blog!
These ABC Goddesses coloring pages are now available in a beautiful collection coloring book directly from the publisher. Visit their web site to order your own copy or visit your favorite book seller.

I’ve been busy clearing out the assorted piles that have accumulated in my studio on my to-do-later list. I amaze myself. There were papers and magazines dating all the way back to a year ago.
I guess I have been even busier than I thought.
I’ve taken a short break from the book tour for the next few months as I do my best to diminish the height of these piles. I can already see the top of my drafting table (which is NEW, gotten as a birthday present) and the light box.
Some of the accumulated piles have been organized chronologically so I can make some sort of sense out of them as I play catch up.
Also in the plans are the last few installments for the ABCs of Lesser Known Goddesses. This month’s Goddess is from India and is called Vasudhara. She is the Goddess of Abundance and is somewhat related to Lakshmi.
These ABC Goddesses coloring pages are now available in a beautiful collection coloring book directly from the publisher. Visit their web site to order your own copy or visit your favorite book seller.
I’ll be back on tour meeting readers and signing books in September. Until than I will be working on new projects and catching up on the old.
Until next time may the Lord and Lady keep you safe.
Bright Blessings,
Lyon

Merry hi dear Friends!
It’s been a while since I last wrote to you, I have been busy with a number of interesting projects which I am sure you will be excited to learn about.
The first one is a new picture book! Due out next year, it is authored by none other than acclaimed and award winning fantasy writer Catherynne M. Valente. Her wonderful story, called ‘Smoky and the Feast of Mabon,’ is as magical and entertaining as her adult and young adult fiction novels. And, as you probably guessed from the title, it is a Mabon story. The publisher will be taking pre-orders on their web site (http://magicalchild books.com) soon. Meanwhile, the book is in production and moving along nicely.
Speaking of books, all 4 other titles are still available at the web site as well. There are bundled purchase choices too which are money saving deals! And the publisher now accepts Discover Cards! Remember that a book is the best buy dollar for dollar of any form of entertainment. Please add one of the books to your lists when considering what gifts to get the young children in your life.
The other project I am working on is with author, Ashleen O’Gaea. Our Pagan parenting book has been picked up by an agent for representation. While the book is still in a holding pattern, both of us are hopeful it will find a home soon. I’ll keep you informed when there is more news.
I spent a rather cold and soggy October touring around the Midwest. It was wonderful to see some of you at the events I traveled to. I am always grateful and humbled by the kindness and joy with which I am greeted. Your support is what makes this all worthwhile. I am currently scheduling my 2010 events, and this year I am adding something new. I will be doing school visits! Programs for elementary through college level classes include things like how to make a picture book, story telling and what the life of an illustrator is like. If your kid’s school has visiting authors or illustrators, please let me know who hires the visiting creatives and maybe I can arrange a visit to your child’s school.
And last but not least, the newest coloring page for the ABCs of Lesser Known Goddesses is ready for download. Go to the publisher’s web site to sign up to the Yahoo newsgroup to get access to this one and all previous coloring pages. This page’s letter is “S.” The Goddess, Srahman is North African from the Kaffir peoples. She is a dryad spirit who teaches travelers the way of the woods. These ABC Goddesses coloring pages are now available in a beautiful collection coloring book directly from the publisher. Visit their web site to order your own copy or visit your favorite book seller.
As always, I love to hear from you. Please let me know what you think of the coloring pages, my books or if you have any questions about them or suggestions for upcoming new stories.
I am now on Twitter. My username is lyonmartin. Please friend me if you have a Twitter account.
Until next time!
Bright Blessings,
Lyon
