Arthur Rackham first became know for his illustration of Grimm's Fairy Tales. In 1905, he made his American debut with illustrations for Rip Van Winkle. His work in Aesop’s Fables was published in 1912, and his final book, The Wind In the Willows, was published in 1940.

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen was also great. Definite recommend. –M

These are hilarious. My husband enjoyed them so much, he just started his second read-through. --M

Am working on some revisions to an in-progress story. Have a character investigating a crime scene and feel like I need to tighten up some of his reflections about the scene.

What about you?

Silence is my preference too. If I'm researching or formulating ideas, I can have music, but not if I'm writing. --M

So exciting to be at the cover art stage. Congrats!! I agree about the art style of the dragon. I wonder what it would look like with a more medieval dragon. Or, if you keep the contemporary dragon, what it would look like with the shapes in the border/background being more angular. Best of luck!!

Adding to my TBR. Thanks for the rec! --M
