I&F January Cover

Somehow it turned out to be picture week here at the blog. Post #2 of today is a preview of the cover for January's edition of Ink and Fairydust. I had fun going a bit more on the artistic side for this cover, blending the themes of winter coping methods and poetry into a striking black and white cover.

And I'm quite excited about my short story for this issue. It's called "A Poetical Conversation" and is a completely fantastical exploration of what might have happened if the Shelleys, Byron, Poe, Charlotte Bronte and Robert Frost were thrown together on a rainy night. It was really fun to write and I can't wait for all of you to read it on January 1st!
