Several years ago, when I self-published The Most Special Chosen<\/em>, I commissioned my very talented friend Kyle McGill<\/a> to draw my main characters \u2014 Elysabeth, Damien, and Shawn \u2014 for me. I was very pleased with the result, and I used them on the cover of the book.<\/p>\n

Now that The Most Special Chosen<\/em> is being published, I want to see a few more of my characters come to life. To achieve that, a few days ago I reached out to Kyle again. Lucky for me, he’s still taking commissions and can work me into his busy schedule. He’ll be drawing up three more characters in the near future, including one of Damien’s sisters. He’s also agreed to work on the rest of Damien’s family and Elysabeth’s family when he has some time available.<\/p>\n

The new drawings won’t be unveiled for a while, as I don’t want to drop any spoilers before my book is re-released, but I may share some sneak peeks, so follow me on Instagram<\/a>. Go visit Kyle’s Instagram<\/a> as well, and show him some love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
