A paperback of The Chasm by Branwen OShea held in the sunlight over tiny white wildflowers. The cover features a young woman with braided white hair, Arctic clothing, and a walking stick standing in an ice chasm and defiantly looking up at a black helicopter that has its guns trained on her. The sun sets bright orange and yellow behind the helicopter.

Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

Monsters have babies too. Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

For $1.99, you can read Dark Moon: https://books2read.com/TymeDarkMoon

It's fourth in my series, The Wizard's Scion. While Levi Jacobs magically duels with a necromancer over some dwarves she killed, the previously invisible moon appears and monsters come down from it, to collect souls from every living thing.

(Left) The cover of dark moon, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson. In the foreground, a redheaded witch and a dark hired wizard fight back to back, holding some rather large pistols. The witch is in a black dress and the wizard is in a black robe with golden decorations. Both looked a bit purple, due to the lighting. The witch's hair blows on the wind and she wears a necklace of bone beads. Behind them, there's dust, mist and fog lit by twilight as a moon rises, framing their heads. Objects that look like shooting stars fall from the moon and there's a few visible impacts. (Right) A poem, in two parts: Witch and wizard fight, The wizard thinks he’s right. The grudge match ends, But not quite as friends. Survive the night they must, Lest all the world be dust. Prophesy foretold in stone, Of the moon no one had known. ‘Harbingers of Doom’ harvest souls, For the sake of their own goals. A kingdom dead and long past Collecting that it might rise at last. Between the two halves of the poem is Owen Tyme's publishing mark, the yin and yang symbol that has the dots of white and black replaced with hourglasses. (Bottom) https://books2read.com/TymeDarkMoon
