And we're back with a Sunday catchup post! I suppose I should let you know how A Tiding Of Magpies, the fourth Monkey Queen book, is coming along. I've approved Willow's cover sketch, and I can tell you that it's going to be gorgeous! We're hoping to have it finished soon, and when that happens, there'll be the Big Announcement with the cover reveal and the publication date! Stay tuned!

And the first draft of the fifth book is nearly done, and that's still on track for Fall 2015. Hopefully, this draft will be done by May 1!

More goodies after the cut.

Well, here's a simple source, though one that needs updating: http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/ You can also head to the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo page on Facebook for updates: https://www.facebook.com/UsagiYojimboDojo

And I wanted to mention an artist whose work I discovered at Big Wow, Melissa Pagluica. She does a webcomic called Above The Clouds, and the art is so lovely! Go check it out! http://atcloudscomic.com/ She also has an extensive gallery at DeviantArt: http://darksunrose.deviantart.com/

Finally, in the continuing adventures of Princess Merida: When last we left her, she was getting the cold shoulder (so to speak) from Elsa. However, they've had to call a truce, as they've got a big problem. A very, very big problem...
