You were all so generous in my last email. Thank you for participating in the giveaway. I'll announce the winner in the May 15th email. I typically only send out news once a month, but with the Kickstarter launching in two weeks, I wanted to give you an update on all that has been added to the special edition books.

This is not a "buy my book" email but an "I'm so excited about this art that I want to show it to everyone!" email.

Commissioning artwork is not an easy process, but I have found a wonderful artist who has made the whole process super easy. Our conversations about my vision for the book went from "I like this and this" to the beautiful images you see below. I'm hoping to have character art and other special art drawn up as the Kickstarter progresses.

You have already seen the paperback cover, and that cover will be printed on the case laminate hardcover, but it will also have these amazing dustjackets thanks to D'Arte Oriel.

The chapter header art is also complete! Each book will have its own design, too. This is the art for Malice in Wonderland and Rage in Wonderland.

Thanks to your responses in the last email, I can say for certain that book 3, Terror in Wonderland, will be The Little Mermaid and the Legend of King Arthur. Now to figure out how steampunk machines would work under water. That should be entertaining.

If you'd like to check out some other fairytales, an author friend of mine has several available on her website:

The Twisted Fairy Tales Series

Thank you all again for being part of my newsletter and for being amazing readers! I'm planning several giveaways over the next few months, so be sure to stick around.
