Thanks, Maria. The deck is not going to be published in 2012 as far as I can tell. Publishers seem massively reluctant to tackle either its roundness or its B&W-ness. Or perhaps they don’t like it, who knows. Later in 2012, though, it’s going to feature in a forthcoming book by Andria Molina and published by Schifer on relationships and Tarot. If you’re interested I can keep you posted. Thanks for you kind comments. Have a lovely Xmas & New Year!

Hi! I have been waiting patiently for this deck. Is it going to be published in 2012? If so, who will be publishing it so I can haunt their website!!! Thanks for creating one of the finest decks I have ever seen!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! It will be a great one for you!!!1

Thanks, Karen. Appreciation much appreciated. For the time being I’ve given up trying to find a publisher -as I noticed the lack of succcess was diminishing my wiil to live…:-) As for one more deck…whatta hell. Why not? Lets add to the heap. The more the merrier. My love to your beautiful greyhounds (I breed I dearly love, too) and your graphics. Stay groovy.

I love your new deck and dearly hope you find a publisher. This is the first round deck I’ve felt attracted to. Your work is brilliant, and I wish you all the luck in the world. Yes, the world does need another tarot deck!

Nice to have a travelling companion of sorts, Eleanor! I don’t understand why B&W art, in general, is so under-appreciated. B&W has a drama all of its own, doesn’t it? Your own deck looks beautiful, going by the wee sample I’ve seen. Next time I’ll register and login so I can see more of it. Meanwhile, thanks for the comment and the good wishes. Stay groovy.

I’m in the process of completing my own deck – B&W too! Have just had my first refusal on the grounds of them being B&W – I guess most publishers will always go for the highly detailed, highly coloured and fanciest decks. Hoping we both find one that is able to be a bit more adventurous!!!

Thanks, Helen. I certainly will keep you posted, if there be good news on the publishing front. I’ve tried a few publishers but so far no joy. They seem to be put off either by the B&W or the roundness. Oh, well…
Thanks for your kind comments.

I just wanted to tell you that I love this tarot deck! I’ve worked with the tarot since I was about 16 at which time my mother purchased my first deck for me. Amazingly that was 40 years ago! Where does the time go? Since then I’ve become an avid collector. Some decks I acquire solely because they are so aesthetically pleasing to me, even though they don’t speak to me on a spiritual level. Your deck, however, is not only incredibly beautiful, but it speaks very strongly to me on the spiritual plane. For this reason, when your deck becomes available for purchase, I hope that you inform not only me, but the hundreds of others whom I’m sure share my love for your deck. I can’t wait for the publication date!
Thank You, Ellen

Thank so much, James. I love it when anyone appreciates the B&W side of my deck! And no, I didn’t even know the company you mention. I’m off to explore the link. I’ve tried several publishers, so far with zilch-zero-nada success. They either object to the roundness, or to the B&W, or they plead “bad times”/crisis/whatnot. (Self-publishing is out of the question for a variety of reasons I won’t bore you with…). Thanks again for the kind comment and the tip. Stay wonderful.

Round cards rule! And black and white is so delicious. This tarot deck needs to be published. Have you tried http://www.tarotmediacompany.com ?
