Thornhedge by T.Kingfisher is out today! I made this cover that ended up getting cut before it went to print but I still like how the piece turned out and the book is great too! Many thanks to AD Peter Lutjen for taking a chance on this one!

“Jolene" 

 Your beauty is beyond compare

I shudder from your Eldritch stare 

With scaly skin and fins of emerald green

Why would you leave this gem in the tags

unironic number one most important and useful writing tip I can give you is to make your women weirder. If your female characters are feeling flat or one dimensional give them a odd lil obsession or hobby. ESPECIALLY the sexy characters add a little “strange and offputting” spice in there and I’ll 1000% guarantee they’ll become better. Listen to me. Listen to ME it’ll work or your money back let the femme fatale give live newts to people as thanks and she’s become a more engaging and realized person.
