Hey everyone!
A little while ago we found a neat-o gem on the internet. This is a fanmade card that is not officially licensed by The Demon Cycle:
Still pretty cool though. You can find the card at The Coins Of McGuffin.
You can pre-order The Core here!

Hey everyone! The time has come to announce the winners to the Still Life Contest. Sorry for the wait, but as much as we love having these contests, they’re super hard to judge. Peat wants to give prizes to everyone, which given our limited stock of the rarer prizes, just isn’t possible. As always, we sat down and took our time going over each entry together. It was down to the wire before Peat made the hard, final, calls. Finally, we had our list of winners.
And now, without further ado, on with the announcement!
We have two Grand Prize Winners this time! Both of them will get a signed limited-edition Australian edition of The Painted man. In no particular order, they are…
Stuart Reid who send in this gorgeous ward circle protecting Messenger’s Legacy:
And Birte Vidmann with her multi-warded photo:
Our First Prize Winner is Jo Amies who will get an official audiobook of The Warded Man courtesy of Graphic Audio:
Second place goes to Jan25 who will receive a signed Czech version of The Great Bazaar/Brayan’s Gold.
We’ve got two Third Prize winners! Both will receive a set of Warded Dice. Once again, in no particular order, they are…
Hannah A sent in this three-part entry:
And Scott Reid’s clay ward made out of books:
Along with all our official prizes, we also wanted to give a shoutout and followup prizes to our four Honorable mentions. Each one will receive a signed bookplate…
Mason Matchak was the first person to enter and we never forget our firsts. Plus it was hilarious:
Krisztina sent in so many gorgeous entries. You can check them all out here and here. This is just one of them:
Sarah sent in this intriguing shot:
Marcelly also sent in a bunch of entries that you can browse in part one and part two. Here’s just one of the pictures from them:
That’s all for this contest, folks!
All the entries were fantastic. We were originally only going to give out three prizes, but ended up choosing more winners than intended. Some of them weren’t chosen by the narrowest of margins. Getting so many amazing, beautiful, and clever entries made it torture narrowing them down. We couldn’t be more grateful for that.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered! We’ll be reaching out to the winners soon about their prizes.

Hey everyone! The Still Life Contest has officially ended, but we’ve still got one entry to show off…
These pics were put up by Jessica Strider along with a blog post about the Still Life Contest on her website. While we can’t count them in the official contest because of lateness, we’re still happy to show them off here!
About a month ago I noticed that Peter V. Brett was hosting a still life contest on his blog. I’d intended to enter and then completely forgot about it. Well, yesterday I saw a twitter post with some of the entries and decided to do it anyway, even though the contest is over now.
I don’t want to spoil too much of the artist’s thought process behind these shots, but I can say it’s awesome. I honestly recommend heading over to her website and giving it a read-through.

Hey everyone! Once again thanks so much to everyone for their wonderful entries for the Still Life Contest. We’ll be going over them shortly and should have a list of winners to announce soon!
In the meantime, remember the caption contest Peat was running? Peat put up a picture of his baby and asked people to write in captions of the picture. The winner is Jenny who sent in the following caption:
Congratulations, Jenny! We’ll be contacting you soon about your prize.

Hey everyone!
This is FINAL batch of entries for the Still Life Contest. It’s been a long time getting through these, but after this post, Peat and I will be able to sit down and pick the winners. Let’s do this thing!
Scott Reid sent in this clay ward made entirely out of books!
This is meant to be a ward against clay demons. Books maybe not the best medium, but I liked the idea. Really looking forward to The Core!
This is so creative and very well done! Books were a difficult medium to work with, but it really paid off. You can tell what it is immediately. I’m also impressed that Scott managed to get the shot. It takes a true photographer to reach such heights.
Last, but certainly not least, is Stuart Reid’s phenomenal warded book.
Handmade wards out of flamed maple, creating a warded circle to protect, ‘Messenger’s Legacy’ from what lurks in the darkness.
Um… this is amazing? I’m so blown away with how much work went into this. I took the time to count and there are twenty individually warded plaques. Not only that, but the layout and color scheme is great too. An absolutely incredible entry, just… just wow.
