Before I go offline for a long day in the word mines, have a Seamus! Character card #2 for the Backwoods Banshee preorder campaign is done (thanks of course to Jake Shandy). The King of Coins is back in October, and he's got an offer Adam can't refuse!

Jake Shandy finished the first card for the Backwoods Banshee preorder, and it's Jodi, Adam's cousin/frenemy/ally! I love it so much!

I'm running final proofs on Backwoods Banshee today. My editor says it's my best book yet. There's also another preorder campaign with Books Are Awesome in Parker, CO. Jake has started work on the character art cards. I'll share examples as he wraps them.
