Willow Wednesdays Extra: Goodies!

If you didn't back the crowdfunder for Willow's first BD/graphic novel, The Journey Of Earth, good news! Willow just announced that she's now selling some of the goodies she originally offered to her crowdfunder backers, including art cards, bookmarks, and keychain charms! You can see samples (from my goodie bag) below. Head to Facebook to view better photos and see all the keychain charms. To order, message Willow through Facebook or email her at willow (dash) san (at) outlook (dot) com. You can also contact me and I'll forward your message to Willow. But be warned: I'm keeping my goodies. Mine!

I have seen the blogger, he has been here too

Sunday means catchup, and here's some happy news: Although I can't set a publication date yet for the sixth Monkey Queen book, The Crown Of Kylthena, I can confirm that Willow will be back to do the cover! (We're getting it done early to avoid some scheduling conflicts she'll have later this year.) I've already seen her first sketches, and I promise that this cover will knock your socks off! (We recommend putting on socks when it's time to reveal the cover.) More after the cut.

Willow Wednesdays Extra: Heeeere's Abby!

I hope you'll forgive my posting again so soon, but I realized as I was getting the "Behind The Scenes: Redblade" post polished and ready that I'd forgotten to share this with you, and I didn't want to bury this at the bottom of that long post. So, here's Willow's first take on Abby! (Well, second take, since I did ask Willow to change the coloring on Abby's coat. But it's still a gorgeous sketch!)

Behind The Scenes: Redblade

So, you ask, tell us more about Willow. What does she dream about? I suspect it might be something like this:

he's not old and I'm told, and I'm told he's a blogger

Let's start this Sunday catchup with a reminder: Michiko and Beth could use your help! If you like the Monkey Queen books, spread the word. Like our Facebook page, tweet about the books, mention us on Pinterest or Instagram or Google+. Leave a review on your blog or Goodreads or Amazon. I'm hoping for big things for the Monkey Queen in 2016, but they can be even bigger if you pitch in!

More, including a peek at some upcoming blog posts, after the cut!
