The REAL Milady

If you’ve read Skinwalkers, you’ll know Jendara and Vorrin spend a lot of time traveling on board Vorrin’s ship, the Milady. Here’s a photo of the real-life tall ship I modeled her after:

The Lady Washington

The Lady Washington – photo by Jan Eklof

The Lady Washington sails out of the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. This photo was captured at the Port of Coos Bay—the closest “big town” to where I grew up.

Milady is about 80% the size of the ship in the photo: just right for a small family business. The real ship is a replica of the Lady Washington built in 1787. She was the first tall ship to make landfall on the west coast of North America.

And never fear: the beautiful Milady will be appearing in Starspawn as well!

STARSPAWN has a cover!

 

Look at Jendara, leaping straight into danger!

Here’s the cover text as it appears on the Paizo website:

The Stars Are Wrong

Once a notorious pirate, Jendara has at last returned to the cold northern isles of her birth, ready to settle down and raise her young son. Yet when a mysterious tsunami wracks her island’s shore, she and her fearless crew must sail out to explore the strange island that’s risen from the sea floor. No sooner have they delved into the lost island’s alien structures than they find themselves competing with a monstrous cult eager to complete a dark ritual in those dripping halls. For something beyond all mortal comprehension has been dreaming on the sea floor. And it’s begun to wake up…

The book is due out in August.

The wonderful cover painting (which wraps around the cover—it’s really terrific!) is by Jesper Ejsing.

Here’s a bigger look at that great monster:

Skinwalkers’s Cover is up!

One of the most exciting things about having a book is getting to see the cover. Well, here’s the cover of Skinwalkers!

 

SKINWALKERS Cover

This painting is by Michal Ivan, who has done some other amazing piece for Pathfinder. I can’t wait to see more of his work. And  I’m pretty damn excited for the first week of March, when this book should arrive in bookstores!
