Happy Pi Day! I don’t know about you, but I aim to get at least one pie-related deal today, though I have yet to decide if it will be pizza- or dessert-based. But we also have another reason to celebrate with round carbohydrate disks -- the illustrations for the book are beginning to arrive! 

The amazing Juliane Crump, who by day works as the graphic designer for TV shows such as "The Goldbergs" and "Transparent", has been slaving away to bring the words of this novel to life. We always wanted Sorcery to be very visual, like a "For Dummies" guide, and Juliane is doing a fantastic job of bring that to life. Here’s our first illustration of the book’s main character, Owen Macready:

Owen thinks he’s just an average eighth grader, even prefers it that way, but Juliane’s managed to show that he’s got lots of untapped potential. Great work Juliane!

Secondly, we are IN BOOKSTORES! At least virtually. We would love it if you would put Sorcery for Beginners on your wish lists at your favorite book outlets, or pre-order if you haven’t already. It means a lot in terms of how many orders bookstores place, and whether or not we appear in search engines and home pages. At least, that’s what I’m told, I’m not really sure how all that Interweb stuff works.

Powell’s!

Thanks all, and enjoy your pie!
