Hello, all!

We launched a poll last week to choose which character will be featured on a seventh art print. The results are in, and they’re . . . indecisive!

Gigot (a retainer of Madeleine’s) and Etien (her nemesis in The Mason of New Orleans) split the vote 50-50. (Hugh, the bailiff, got not votes. Poor Hugh!)

I’m going to exercise my authorial authority and break the tie in favor of Etien. I like Gigot (and he has a role in The Angel of Ecbatana, too), but Etien looms large in the first book. Let’s have Liv illustrate him see what he looks like!

As of this writing, we’re only a few backers away from hitting this goal. And pulling in those backers gets us that much closer to upgrading the books to deluxe hardcover! If you have a few moments to help spread the word, that would really mean a lot to me. You can:

I’m so excited about how this campaign is going. Thanks so much for your support!
