Hello all - I''ve made it back safe & sound from the holiday season, without too many scratches (or much glitter) to show for it....hope you have had a good few weeks yourselves! Thanks for reading my poetry, I really appreciate the feedback in the comments & reviews. :)


    In other news, I''ve entered the RR magazine contest with an artsy MC, you might like - It''s so far destined to be a shorter work, called IMMORTAL SOLD. The ongoing novel I''ve been writing is a fantasy/comedy novel. (Think: DnD on Ice) called The Northfell Curse. Thought you might enjoy a brief update on those as well...


    More poems soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a behind the scenes peek at the cover graphics I''ve been working on, since I''ve managed to finally add a proper drawing of Autumnus (from The Northfell Curse) to it. This drawing was hand drawn digitally, unlike much of the illustrations you''ve seen with this story so far; those are mostly all either entirely drawn on paper or sketched with pencil/ink on paper and colored digitally.


    Here is the new (drawn) cover for IMMORTAL SOLD & a couple of close-up snapshots mid-process and the final composition for The Northfell Curse: (Because I''m terribly old-school and actually draw stuff by hand...)


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

    Actually...I SAY final, but I noticed I''ve treated the lighting differently on Tine & Autumnus'' face, so I might add more shadows to his, but right now I''m out of spoons, as they say. Thoughts? What do you think?


    See you soon - thanks for sticking with Tine & Autumnus for their journey! +kat
