RIFT’s bestiary is a useful bonus. Inspired by the Peterson’s Field Guide, it’s meticulously laid out with beautiful artwork by @fredward95 @himarudolf @markwitton & yours truly. The slate palette makes navigation to the back matter a snap as you read.

Illustrations done for this month's Texas Highways Magazine. 100% handpainted, really excited about a huge breakthrough with how I paint textural detail.

Participating in a medical evaluation of an African lion today. The second one so far. Nothing says “going method” like stepping into your main protagonist’s shoes. So pumped for these opportunities and how they have translated into the novel. Y’all are in for a treat.

Well shoot. Missed ‘200 years of Dinosaurs’ and an opportunity to plug RIFT with an excerpt: “The sprawling reptiles reminded
Lotta of the crumbling remains of the Crystal Palace statues she had seen as a child before they were lost.
Before London’s boroughs were swallowed by the sea”
