ART REVEAL for The Lost Visionist
ART REVEAL!! In anticipation of the cover reveal of THE LOST VISIONIST this Wednesday (Eeep!), I will be sharing art reveals today and tomorrow. Today’s piece was commissioned last year from the incomparable Jenelle Hovde, who also did another piece for me, but I am holding that in reserve because it’s a bit spoilery. Whoops. Meet Theseus Helstaar and his Féirhound, Xuli, with whom he has a blood-bond. Theseus belongs to a clade known as Commorants, of which he is a Coimedaí—a hunter of visionists. They believe what visionists do–memory delving—is a heinous breach of sacred territory—the mind. Xuli is as fierce as she is beautiful. She protects Theseus and hunts with him. Fun fact: When Xuli is closing in …

Lady Earns Double Honorable Mentions
LADY OF BASILIKAS EARNS DOUBLE HONORABLE MENTION “Close, but no cigar.” “Almost, but not quite.” “Close only counts in horseshoes and hand gren@des.” The sentiment of those phrases nearly kept me from posting about this. Too, I did not want to detract from the winner (Congrats, Cathy McCrumb—thrilled for you, friend!!). However, the past year has been (as a dear friend said to me yesterday) “crushingly hard” for my family. We’ve been living in the Shadow of Almost for eighteen months, a season where we get close but never quite meet success. So, this weekend //could// have been discouraging. But it was not!
