I had a very limited budget for WonderCon this year (as in, gas and food), and in a way, that caused me to spend more time looking at the art and not just at stuff to buy.
Here is part 1 of my WonderCon adventures: the writers who I want to read soon (* designates for children as well).
If I found them on Twitter, I added to a List: Artists I Really Dig.
Each title links to their main website.
Llyn Hunter’s Place (Bobcat Publishing)
*specifically for A Little Book of Monsters and A Little Book of Magical Beings
I liked the artist so much, that I took a photo of her postcard to ensure I didn’t lose it.

- Become lawless rogues, or
- Renounce their abilities and live as normal citizens.
Abbie is trying to do the latter, she’s not exactly subtle.
