The place the author of the book I featured on my post today actually found her artist on https://www.deviantart.com/ -- yes, I was intrigued enough by the artwork to do some digging. It's a neat place to poke around if you like looking at pretty pictures.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-81279107849573452172021-04-07T16:13:30.493-05:002021-04-07T16:13:30.493-05:00Both books sound like a lot of fun.
