Dad passed away. Before the end, he made an AI avatar of himself.
The avatar was a full interactive with input. We displayed it on the big screen at the funeral service.
It was nice to see him up there, thank him, tell him what he meant to us.

Oh My God I can't believe you did the cover art for this. I love it. I have this book and the other Incarnations of Immortality. Did you do any of the others?
Soooo good! 😀
That was one of the best covers I ever saw. It was far better than the story within.
