More Word leftovers this week. This time we're rewinding to Song of Solomon, the book so sexy it shouldn't be in the Bible. You may remember that my first pass at Song of Solomon was a bit technical. This time I got my sassy on. I'm hoping these designs will open the door into the elusive field of romance novel cover design. I have 2 leftover versions of Song of Solomon, so make sure to check out the other one.

Read More(Second of 2 designs for Song of Solomon.) If Song of Solomon was on TV, it would be on cable. Pay cable. Late at night. There are 2 main characters in the book.

Read MoreThe book of Proverbs is full of short words of wisdom, which isn't surprising since many people say the book was written by King Solomon, who was a pretty Mensa dude. Proverbs got me thinking about different nuggets of wisdom that I've heard and I want to share my favorite one with you: "You can't shine a turd." Five little words that express so much.

Read MoreSpoiler Alert! 1 Kings is about a bunch of kings. King David dies. David's son Solomon takes the throne. God is all Beastie Boys with King Solomon and is like "So what, so what, so whatcha want?" Solomon says, "I want to be wise." Solomon is very wise. He builds the temple. God is happy.
