Scythe and Pen Villain Art and Updates
Who else is living in their villain era? In the Scythe and Pen world, we are forever in our villain era.
After all, nothing is so delicious as a bad boy with a good cause, a questionable chip on his shoulder and an ill-advised love interest. If you’ve read Scythe and Pen, you know exactly which chain-smoking, red-eyed gangster I’m describing.

I’m happy to share that I’ve officially submitted the sequel to Scythe and Pen’s publisher. Now, it’s just a waiting game as I await their feedback. Publishers can take a few months to read a manuscript, as they usually have several other books and projects on their plate. In the meantime, I’m outlining the third and final book in Hades’ saga, as well as drafting an entirely unrelated project.
You can read a little sneak peek of THAT swashbuckling WIP here.
Now, without further ado, the promised character art of our favorite grim gangster.

Art by Loran DeSore.
Eeek! I may have gasped when I saw this portrait for the first time. Loran perfectly captured Hades Cronus’ calculating glare. That look that takes a person’s measure and finds them wanting. And knows exactly how to manipulate that want.
