Her knotted, misshapen hands had been tied with rough rope. A broad-shouldered, smirking Copper gripped the end of the noose knotted around her neck. Eva braced back against his arm, face tilted skyward as she struggled to breathe.

Cover reveal!

Thanks to Library of Scars for the cover! Vhantalya is a high fantasy set in a clockpunk, Renaissance-esque world. There's swords, magic, a creepy villain, and a clockwork soldier thrown in to boot!

No ARC or release date *just* yet. Should know soon!

So Ripley is doing really well, has the feeding tube out. She's got a little infection in the site and is on antibiotics, but as soon as that's cleared up she should be right as rain! However, I think she's gotten a *little* spoiled with getting constant skritches while she was sick...

As some of you know, we've been dealing with a very sick kitty over the last few weeks. She's back in the hospital as of yesterday, and today is getting a liver biopsy and her gallbladder removed. Please, everyone, keep Ripley in your thoughts and hopefully we'll have a holiday miracle.
