Avast!

Beth Wodzinski just posted the cover of Shimmer's pirate issue.

Oh my.

Shimmer's artwork is always great, but this cover. Is. Exceptional.

And over at artist James Owen's place, you can see how the cover evolved. For someone as artistically challenged as myself, watching the pictures evolve is akin to magic.

Liz keeps asking me if I'm getting excited about the magazine coming out. Nah, I say. I just focused on the new stories I'm working on now. I've really got to get a move on to meet my writing goals this year. And when I say that?

I'm totally lying.
