Greetings, dearest readers.
I just posted a review and recommendation of N.D. Wilson’s 100 Cupboards at the Rabbit Room. If you haven’t read the series, it’ll be something to tide you over until the next Wingfeather book releases. Pick up a copy (and support the Rabbit Room) here.
In other news, I’m finishing up my new album Counting Stars this weekend! It’s set to release on July 27th, so between now and then we’ll be finishing up artwork, doing a photo shoot (ugh), and releasing a single (I think).
While all that’s happening I’m going to find out what happens to Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli when they arrive in the Green Hollows. I’ve been in music world for the last few months, and transitioning back to writing mode means priming the creative juices. I bought a handsome little Moleskine sketchbook this week and doodled a sea dragon yesterday, greatly influenced by James A. Owen’s Here, There Be Dragons cover.
The best way for me to enter story mode is to remember what it was like to be a little kid, and one of the straightest avenues to that for me is drawing.
More to come.

You should check out D.M. Cornish’s Monster Blood Tattoo series. He was an illustrator for years before he started writing this series, so he does all the artwork for the covers and interiors. It’s great stuff.
I like dragons.
