Hey everyone! About half a year ago, I put up a post that showcased a series of Demon-Cycle-related sketches from Lil David. Those sketches were -incredible-, with gorgeous, dynamic inkwork.

Now, just a little while ago, Lil David posted their newest creation. Check it out: 

Wow, just… just wow. I love the atmosphere of this piece, and I feel like the artist has only getting better. The composition is beautiful and the shading on those sleeves especially is especially gorgeous. Such a badass piece.

If you like this, I would highly recommend heading over to Lil David’s Instagram and browsing his work. He seems really cool, so feel free to show support!

Barren is officially available! You can grab a copy right here!

Hey everyone! Peat recently did an exclusive interview with Renata that was put up on two websites–Ljubitelji Fantastike Kostolac:

…and and Od Knjige Do Duse (From Book To Soul).

This is a great interview, and topical considering Peat is heading to Serbia next week for the Belgrade Book Fair!

One of my favorite questions is this one:

Mr. Brett, first of all, thank you very much for your time, and I want to congratulate you on The Core, final book of epic saga. How does it feel now that it has ended?

P.B. It was a little like climbing a mountain. I’ve been working on the Demon Cycle in one form or another since 1999, and it was immensely gratifying to finally reach the summit and see the world spread out before me. I could look back on my path and see all the places I stumbled, the places I wanted to quit, or was convinced I would fall. I am proud in the stubborn resolve that saw me through. The ending was much as I envisioned it all those years ago, and that made the whole journey seem right.

Of course, I had a lot of help along the way. Family and friends, agents, editors, translators and artists, not to mention booksellers and of course my beloved readers. Without their support, I would never have made it to the end.

But now, as I stand at the peak, I can see other mountains in the distance and know there is much more climbing to come.

Thanks so much to Renata for putting together these questions, reaching out to us, and for the wonderful translation. Once again, you can read the interview (in both Serbian and English) at both jubitelji Fantastike Kostolac and Od Knjige Do Duse. Happy reading!

Barren is officially available to purchase! You can grab a copy right here!

Hey everyone! A long while ago, I made a post about a beautiful recreation of Renna’s warded necklace, sent in by Rick Licoln from Brazil.

In that post, there are some pictures of the cutting implements used to carve out the wards. Today, I’m happy to post another creative piece of artwork, this time etched straight onto metal. Check it out!

I love how the metallic surface makes the ward circle shimmer in the light. Plus the elvish writing is gorgeous as well 😉

Thanks so much to Rick for showing off his skills!
