Fantasy artists, graphic designers and art students will value this book’s many shortcuts for creating fantasy art. The author-illustrator team provides templates—and descriptions—for more than fifty fantasy types, including wizards, male and female warriors, elves and fairies, giants, pirates, mythical gods, angels and devils, dragons, griffins, ogres, ghouls, goblins, sirens and many others. The templates capture each figure in a series of action poses that designers can adapt to portray famous characters or invent new ones.

Hoodoo Cupid

A Mardi Gras for Fans

Put a little voodoo in your Valentine…

Maggie Scanlan’s voodoo was a total bust until she took her scissors to a voodoo doll on Valentine’s Day. All she wanted to do was to make ad agency wonder boy and professional rival Dan Constantine know what it felt like to be cut off at the knees. She never expected him to break his leg, much less sweep the rug out from under her—in an Emergency Room, no less.
Dan makes her crazy, and every finely tuned professional instinct is telling her to run. But her heart—and Dan—have other ideas.
Will they make it a Valentine’s Day to remember? Only Maggie’s voodoo doll knows for sure, and it’s not talking.

Sometimes you make a wish

Sometimes you make a wish. 

Sometimes you wish you hadn’t.

…A great fantasy.

Harriet Klausner

The plot is thought provoking, the characters are in the midst of coming-of-age crises, and the immortals are seriously hot.  What more could a reader ask?
