This week we (well...I, the royal we) worked on border and icon art for "Seven Strongholds" and "Ascension of the Magdalene." Today we're also laying out the cover for "Nyambe" and constructing a new font for the book's title and chapter headings. We're eagerly awaiting printer's proofs for "Backdrops." Once they're approved, the book should hit the presses next week.

Steven Sanders just sent us the cover sketches for "Seven Cities" and they look great. The final cover should be very nice. "Who's Steven Sanders?" you say. You can find Steven's fine illustrations in "The Ebon Mirror," "Touched by the Gods," "Maiden Voyage," "En Route" and "In Your Face Again." He's also the cover artist for "Backdrops." Great work, Steven!
