More Rampant Fan Art

Stumbled across this pretty the other day:

The artist’s name is Akemi.

I think it’s my favorite depiction of Cory to date. Cory and Valerija, especially, look just like I imagine them in my head.I so love it when people take a crack and visual depictions of my characters. Since I can’t draw for crap myself, I always get a kick out of other people illustrating my imaginary people. Thank you!

The last few weeks, especially, have been killer unicornerific. I have been doing some edits on my two killer unicorn short stories, and the final pass on Ascendant. I also, in New York, did a reading from Rampant, which I hadn’t done in many moons. (And it was a new reading for me, too. I read from the section where Astrid makes out with Brandt on the blanket. Which, as it turns out, is quite funny read aloud.) It’s nice to be back in that world for a little while. 2010 has been mostly filled up so far with projects that have absolutely nothing to do with killer unicorns.

That’s one of the other dirty little secrets about this job. We spend a year promoting stuff that we worked on a year ago. When you write series, it’s especially hard, because your mind is a book ahead of your readers’.

And now, back to the grind.
