A Little Character Art as a Treat

A newsletter exclusive early look at Forge & Fracture Saga art

Hey friend,

We’re a month & a half out from Saint-Seducing Gold day, I’m rolling through this revision of F&FS Book 3, and the events are starting to pick up! I’ve still got plenty in the works with the Amulet team as we prep for release day. You’ll be the first to hear about things, so keep your eyes on your inbox.

One thing you can get into is the That Self-Same Metal paperback giveaway on Goodreads. We’re giving away 20 copies in anticipation of the April 2nd release. It’s free to enter, so hop on over and try your luck!

Where’s the art?

One thing about being a novelist is that no matter how excellent you are with words, you can never quite get the image of a character from your imagination to a reader’s with complete accuracy. You can get close, and you’ll know from fan art and fan casts how well your descriptions translate. If you’re a writer who can also draw, you’re all set.

I am not.

So, I commissioned a piece from one of my favorite digital artists, Tasia MS. And did she ever deliver! I gave you a glimpse last month and, without further ado, here’s the full thing.

Gorgeous. Stunning. Outstanding. Incredible. I love this so much and I’m so happy to share it with you too! I’m looking for ways to share it with readers, I’ll let you know what shakes out.
