I’m packing up a box of books and bookmarks, including a BRAND NEW ONE Brooke painted in honor of The Book of the New Moon Door‘s upcoming publication. This is the original:

A watercolor painting of Isabel Rainier, a light-skinned woman with long brown hair, dressed in a black Victorian dress and holding a bell in one hand and a book in the other. A black candle and a corpse covered in a sheet sit on the table in front of her, with one of the corpse's hands visible.

Brooke also has fancy new packaging for her cards as well as new paintings for your perusal and divination enjoyment.

Black paper envelopes big enough for individual Tarot cards, blazoned with an embossed silver letter C and sealed with stickers featuring a watercolor rose.

We hope to see you there!

Song of the Week

Hozier and Bear McCreary, “Blood Upon the Snow” (from God of War: Ragnarök)

You know, I’ve never played a God of War game, but this song makes me want to.

That’s going to have to wait, however, because I’m starting Part Three of The Book of the New Moon Door! I’ll post a NaNo update on Friday. The last chapter of Part Two will be up here on Wednesday. There will also be a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow.

Responses to the New Moon Door poll were sparse and mixed, so I think I will maintain the chapter-by-chapter posting schedule for now. I’ll reevaluate when Part Three is written (my goal is by the end of May), and maybe again when editing is done (late summer). If all the chapters haven’t been posted by then, I may save the ending for the published book 😉

Also, I’ll make a bigger announcement later, but I’ll be at the What the Hex Witches’ Market on May 6 at Falcon Bowl in Milwaukee! Mostly, I’ll be supporting Brooke and her Figuratively Speaking Tarot, but I’ll have a few copies of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea to sell and sign and some bookmarks to hand out. Stay tuned for more details.

As always, thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.
