HoC 6 back cover- blurb

Well, here's the back cover of the main series conclusion! Exciting, no? We're excited for it. Normally, we don't worry about the blurb (the back of the bk's selling words) until we're nearly done with the tale.
However, this time, we did things out of order and feel the book still sounds exciting. Yay!

So far we're enjoying putting the story's skeleton together! Draft 2 is still in the works: A lot of ideas to add, many wrinkles to straighten out, and a major need for consistency is being worked on.

Enjoy this fun tid-bit and continue to hang in there, ladies and gentlemen. Book 6 will make its appearance this year.

HoC 6, Book Cover

Well, here's your look at the new cover!

(Just completed over the weekend.)

Note, we're still on Draft 2. But the art can give you some ideas about what will be in the book. ;)

Taps Fan Art - MaskedSugarGirl

One of my friends/favorite artists MaskedSugarGirl aka MSG has done some art work of my favorite HoC character, Taps. She uses her own version of clean Anime. I enjoy her style and love to see Taps in it.

Here's Taps, with the rainbow surrounding her.

If you know my character Taps, you'll recall she loves the rainbow because to her, it represents God's promise (Gen 9:13-16).

*If you're going to look up her link, I will warn you, it's connected to deviantart, the art site is NOT family appropriate.*

Taps and Angel.

Angel is a character, owned by MSG. In our minds, Taps adopts Angel and raises her. Here, they're ice skating. Taps is teaching the young girl not to fear winter and to enjoy it.

This has to be my favorite picture that she's ever done of Taps. It was blue (my favorite color) and it had a magical feel to the entire piece.

Taps with a raspberry lollipop.

Taps loves kids.

She enjoys raising them in a God centered home. She loves helping them through their trials and cheering them on when they succeed.

(All of these characters belong to MSG. We have loads of fun thinking up their stories and how Taps ends up coming across all of them.)

Taps and Victor C.

Because in our creative minds, the two of them belong together. (Here, they're dressed up as Paul and Nora from Pete's dragon.)

Taps and Victor C.

A beautiful romantic picture between the two of them.

*If you're going to look up her link, I will warn you, it's connected to deviantart, the art site is NOT family appropriate.* (Also, if you try to look up StravenLite on deviant art, the artist isn't on the site anymore.)

Well, I think that about does it for today. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Hopefully, sometime later, I can post some more art that others have been kind enough to do for me.

Thanks again MSG!

HoC 6 Update. Book and Cover

Hello Dear Readers,

Working on draft 2 now. Oddly enough, it's been easier to work backwards.

The illustrations are in various stages of completion. Generally, as I read, I write ideas down for the book illustrations that are used in that chapter. I sometimes will draw an object to make the reader wonder how it'll fit in. Other times, I draw the characters (my favorite thing to do).

The cover is near completion. Yay! Mom is working hard with our cover artist to get the final touches done. Then we'll paste the title and our names on it and I'll post the cover. You'll get a first hand look at the cover. We hope you'll like it.

Much love,

T. Erickson
