    Well that's an absolute shame.

    Shannon, sorry to hear of the situation. Keep strong and we look forward to getting you back here when you have time.

    So, I sent out a cancelation email to my contributors and team but haven't sent an email out to customers yet.
    That was probably the notice I received versus it being for ordering of 'extra' copies of the S/L ... sorry for any confusion.

    Take care of personal business Shannon ... all will be well in the long run. Looking forward to you returning to the business soon. Don't be a stranger here on the forums, especially when the going gets tough ... we're a great group for sounding off and bitching to .

    That explains why I was a little lost, I didn't get any of the earlier emails only got the one yesterday.

    Really sorry to hear of your situation Shannon, sad news indeed.

    As others have said, you know Mick and I are here anytime you need anything, if we can help we will!

    I left it for the time being as I figured you would be getting lots of mail from many people asking about everything. I didn't want to bombard you with yet another email when I'm sure you have more important things to deal with. I'll be in touch, or if you prefer drop me a mail when things calm down.

    I'll be happy to show the artwork I did. One pencil on Bristol board which was for "My Crush Is Dead" and two oil paintings which were the cover art for the Hardcover, which are still drying. Have to try and get some decent photos of the oil paintings though.

    I'll try and get some photos but as it is wet they might not be easy to get due to reflection, the pencil won't be any problem though.

    That is amazing. I'd buy the book just for that alone.

    OK peeps, here's the pics. These are not professional scans or photos prepared fully for publishing.

    My thinking behind the images came from the title "In Mint Condition".

    Books come from trees and you can't get more 'In Mint Condition' than straight from the tree...


    From The Roots Of The Earth 1




    The wood man represents the authors and illustrators making their mark in the book(s). Also a kind of organic natural representation of the stories and images being fresh and new, IMC.


    From The Roots Of The Earth 2




    Initially I was thinking that the wood man image would go on the back cover so it would be like you were looking at one side of the tree on the front and turn it over and you see the back with the wood man hidden in there. However it could be reversed so the wood man is on the front.

    My Crush Is Dead




    Obviously there are very few people who have read the story 'My Crush Is Dead'. I hope that you all like the image and that those of you who have read the story feel it captures the essence of the beautiful but sad story. I particularly hope that the author is pleased with it!

    nice work Rachel!

    piece of side note trivia.... as kind of a nod to the book's Stephen King website connection ....

    the black ribbon tied around the package in my art piece is the same piece of ribbon that originally was used to tie up a promo package I have for Joe Hill's Heart Shaped box novel.

    Thank you, you too Terry. Your image has an air of Doctor Sleep to it. What camera(s) do you use BTW.

    Beautiful, Rachel. "My Crush is Dead" was a very short but very poignant and sweet story. I think your art perfectly represents the story.

    Sir Boomme - Which story were you illustrating again?
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    not sure why the camera pic didn't load the first time... edited the post above to where it does now...

    Hannah... Don't remember the exact title....and since I'm at work I can't look it up- but it was something like "Of Women and Cats"...or "Of Cats and Women"

    somebody help me out here...

    Captures contrasts and textures really well Terry, I need to invest in some more photography kit myself.

    Thanks everyone, if I was able, I'd put the story up here for you all. I don't even know who the author is. Last year I read all the stories and knew all the authors names, this year I only know the titles of a few of the stories and none of the authors names.

    I hope Shannon pops in here as he hasn't seen the illustration for MCID and only got very rough pics of the cover art. He can probably answer a lot of the question too!

    There is quite a bit more clothing than I would expect from your photos

    I love it by the way! It has such a subtle creepiness.
