“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.”
Let the Fire fall, let the Wind blow...
...let Your glory come down.
The new Firewind Productions is just a little different. Of course, it's been just a little different from the very beginning, but we have deliberately set out to be a unique resource for unique people and unique organizations.

Embers Kindle...
The chilly Fall night air whistles through the slightly open window as a stocky, bearded man stares thoughtfully down at a well-worn notebook. He scratches out a few notes, then scribbles in the margin. A gray and white cat napping next to his keyboard stretches and mews softly as he lays down the notebook. As he begins to type, she lays her head back down and is soon fast asleep.
After a few minutes, the man stops typing and leans back, studying his work. A shadow of remembered pain flashes across his face, and he shakes his head. A quick selection of the mouse and a keystroke and it is all gone. He sighs and begins to type again, eyebrows furrowing in concentration.
Getting on the Web: What Works, What Won't, and Why it Matters

Welcome to the completely redesigned, redeveloped, and renewed Firewind Productions! I'm still in the process of moving all of my old blog posts over from the old site and getting everything sorted, catagorized and tagged. In the meantime, please excuse my dust, if you would, and take a look around. This site is now completely mobile- and tablet-ready (including portfolios and e-commerce) and completely responsive to multiple devices. But that's just the first of many new wonderful things about this landmark new site.
Almost thirty years in the making, the river Beautiful will be published as a premium hardcover, a value softcover, and a very special online multimedia experience.
