Someone always finds something to poke at, you know? It’s not even worth worrying about because someone is going to find something wrong if they really want to. You can’t win with everyone, which is why it’s best to just win with yourself. You can look quote, unquote, “perfect” on the outside but still feel like shit if you’re not happy with yourself and who you are.
Happy is attractive. Happy is beautiful. Happy is as close to perfect as we’ll ever get.
A bunch of stuff to talk about this morning! We got some more “Seeking the Storyteller” art. We got another excerpt you can check out. And there’s an event where you can get the ebook for 99 cents. You read that right, 99 cents! For Mother’s Day weekend “Seeking the Storyteller” is on sale, so now is a great time to get it if you haven’t done so already!
Now, onto the fanart. This piece of fanart is by the extremely talented Sean Iredale, who we met along with Tyler Hansen during Wizard World. This is Atticus, a villain who is whispered about in the first book who plays a major part throughout the series. Sean really captured his scary epic power here.

Suddenly he was racing down the hallway, pushing open a set of large, double doors. Hanzo’s back was to him as he helped a young girl walk through a hidden passage in the wall. “Just go!” He screamed to her, “Your mother and I will catch up, I promise!”
But he had broken that promise.
Hanzo had never caught up and neither did the girl’s mother. Haven could now feel the choking sting of sadness against the back of his throat, could taste the regret, the anger, the fear. He knew that these feelings were coming from his dragon, but they were so strong that they gnawed at his stomach as if they were his own. He was the one who couldn’t protect his friends and family from this man, this man he did and did not know. This man, this Atticus, who floated above everything as the entire area crumbled around him. He could hear him laughing, the sound reverberating through his mind and his entire body.

THIS WEEKEND is the ONLY time you can get a copy of the ebook for 99 cents, so if you’re looking for a good supernatural story to read, now is the time!
SPREAD THE WORD! It’s a special weekend sale for Mother’s Day. Our book is only 99 cents for the entire weekend! Now is a really good time to snag a copy and, as always, please leave a review to let us know what you think <3
So we had an artist do a sketch of one of the characters from “Seeking the Storyteller.” This is actually her look from the second book, which is in the works, but he captured her style perfectly. Her name is Katalynne Cove and she works for Randall Fagan, one of the Hunters in the story.
Here is the picture and an excerpt from her debut in the first book. Thanks goes to Chad Jasper of Freaky Atomic Robot Zombies Studios, whose website is here: http://www.farzstudios.com/MAIN/FREAKY_MAIN.html

“He was cleared of those charges,” Katalynne said, remembering the pointless mess she had to deal with a couple of months ago. Three dead bodies, two of which were students on campus, with the same evidence of a brutal sword attack but no proof that the sword belonged to her boss. “In fact, I believe you were in the courtroom at the time.”
“Doesn’t mean Randall Fagan isn’t a psychotic killer. The public has seen the pictures. There are bodies and sightings of him during the night in different neighborhoods. Just because the police can’t link the bodies doesn’t mean he’s not responsible.”
Katalynne rolled her eyes, disinterest in anything the woman had to say. “And I suppose you believe in his partner, Bigfoot, as well?”
Liza ignored the jest and kept pushing. “How about you, Ms. Cove? What exactly do you do for him that pays your bills? You left a highly lucrative job as a personal assistant for one of the leading law firms in the state to work for this man? What does he pay you for?”
“I pick up his dry cleaning.”

Oh snap, did somebody say character sketch and book excerpt?
Minneapolis Wizard World Comic Con 2014. We went on Day 2 and it was so much fun seeing every one of the cosplayers, so very imaginative. (BTW: The little girls in the photos are my sisters.) My sisters’ favorites were Anna from Frozen and the girl version of Captain America.
Hey look it’s my wifey as Belle!
The couple that cosplays together stays together <3 Me and my wifey not only cosplayed together on Saturday of Minneapolis Comic Con, but we were on the City Pages best costumes list!
the wifey needs to cosplay more often isn’t she super gorgeous?!She’s actually wearing the Belle dress she made for me, but using a bodice so it fits her better.The entire list is here :)
Edit: I’m super happy with this pic because she rarely cosplays lately. She gets my costumes done and has plans for her own, but never gets to them. And she’s always super encouraging with me, you know? So on Saturday our friend watched our table for a bit and we walked around together, and it was great seeing her get the love I think she deserves :)
For the morning crew: we made the City Pages in Minneapolis for best costumes at Minneapolis Comic Con!

I have more pictures but this one gets its own post because OMG CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS ADORABLE LITTLE STORM COSPLAYER!?
I was sitting at my table and saw her and my partner called out, “STORM!” She looked over and saw me and her eyes just lit up and I made my way from behind the table to take a picture with her, and she just looked so happy to see me <3 Her parents were like, “Do a pose!” I believe we are summoning some serious lightning here :)
