My favourite book cover of the week:

“Shannon-sama! Looky! We gots another question from my Jessie’s Letters page!”

“It’s hard work to keep up with all the e-mail.”

“It sure is! This one’s about your book Call of the Huntress. It’s from ‘Sirea’ and they said ‘are we gonna put the whole story of Call of the Huntress online cause they really wanna know what happens next!’”

“We sure are! Call of the Huntress is the third book in the Ajan Warriors Series and it’s the sequel to Palace in the Sky, so we sorta have to continue the story, right?”

“Yeah, ’cause I wanna meet your big magical kitty-kat, cause I’ve never seen a midnight cougar with blue eyes before!”

“Well, I just might be able to arrange that after I get my treasure back and learn my powers as an Ajan Warrior.”

“Arigato Shannon-sama! If you gots a question or a comment or just wanna say “Hi Jessie and Shannon-sama!’ you can send an e-mail to meeeeeeee on my super-neat super-sugoi best on the whoooooole site Jessie’s Letters page. Ja ne minna-san!”

“This is our new web comic! It’s called LadyStar: The Varcarel Jade, and it’s a story about this really strange artifact we found one day after this super tough battle against some haunts at the Sports and Crafts Fair. It’s gonna be just like our Ajan Warriors Series Books, except it’s a seperate story, so it’s different than the books sorta, cause in the Varcarel Jade we all have our treasures and powers and stuff.”

“The Varcarel Jade will be updated every Tuesday and then again as part of our Ten Update Fridays. We might do some bonus updates too. We’ll announce everything here, and we’ve got a category set up for the web comic too.”

“So tell all your pals we’ve got a new web comic and invite them to join the adventure!”

“Yeah! It’s gonna be lots of fun! Ja!”

“Updated the Winterdancer Page too.”

“Awesome. I love that chapter with the bang, pow, zap. I can’t wait until we get our powers. We’re going to have some great battles.”

“Yeah, we had a bit of a disagreement. If you like combat action, you’ll probably like this preview called Valor of the Winterdancer.”

“Alanna-sama’s the Winterdancer, ’cause that’s her title of lore when she gets all her neat powers. Did you know the Warrior of the River’s powers are all from snow and ice? It even says so on her warrior page! Looky!”
