Sometimes changes need to be made to the cover after the colour is done. We try to catch as many as we can with the sketch, but the colour adds so much detail that didn’t always pop up in the sketch. In the case of Faymous, there were seven differences between the first colour and the final cover. Can you spot them all? Don’t scroll down until you’re ready for the answer.

Every book utilizes tropes, even if it’s to subvert them, and Faymous is no exception. This book covers: roadtrip tropes, Young Adult, music & riddles, portal fantasy, Hidden magical world, Dual POV, No angst romance, and magical shenanigans.

Hello Readers,
We have two pieces of news!
First, both Jen and I are featured in the first volume of The Siren’s Song Anthology. Inside you’ll find stories from Baker, Westmeath, and everything in between.
The second piece of news is that we’ve signed a contract with River City Siren Press for Faymous. This is a spinoff of both The Gates of Westmeath and Elizabeth Investigates. It’s a story about two teens that wake up in the Fay Realms and the adventures they find there. Cover to come!

Stay safe and be kind,
Éric
