While book 1 is a adventure heist novel, book 2 is a mob driven political fantasy. The world cracks open with new locations, new perspectives and new magic.

Romantasy girls are not prepared for our shirtless wolf man and Fantasy bros will have plenty of world building the chew on. #Booksky

So many awesome artists reached out about this. I'll need to go through and have a look and see if any styles match what I envision for the cover. But a big thank you!!!

A6: Oh I've been thinking about this recently. For each work I chose a spine, this is either a character, a theme, a plot. It's what the driving force for this particular story is, and then during editing, I focus on making that clear and strong. Relating the aspects to the spine.

A5: No bridges in this story, but I've liked them in the past, and especially I like breaking them.
I think there's something really satisfying about forcing characters into a physical transition point where they are at their most vulnerable. And then cutting the rope from under them.

A4: I think one of the best examples is the hobbit hole, it just gives you such a clear idea of the culture and the way in which a hobbit lives. Peak cozy goals.
