Recent excavations in my study following the completion of the manuscript for LYCH WAY (you wouldn't believe what a mess working on a trilogy makes!), has led to the discovery of several sketches from years past and not so past. These works include a little watercolor of Death dressed in outlandish mummer's garb, opening the gates of winter. I seem to recall that I had once wanted to use this as a holiday card, but the plan was vetoed...
