It’s time to reveal the front and back cover for A Fantasy Writers’ Handbook.

If you’d like to commission Mark for your own artwork, drop me an email and I’ll send you his details.

I couldn’t see the drunken dwarf until I blew it up to 380%, thinking, “This I must see!” It’s quirky and fun – and I love the Cthulhu-like tentacles invading the bathroom! (Though it’s a modernish one – but then again, it doesn’t want to take itself too seriously!.
