| I just last night received the new cover from my publisher and just had to show it off. The artwork is by my British friend, Andy Lloyd, who is also the author of The Dark Star.  |

| Thanks, y'all. I hope there's a LOT of 'delving'.
There's three years of work between those covers... |

| Very good, Brew. The girl wearing the feather is most appealing. |

| Thanks, everyone! The girl is Pu-Can (Passionflower), Keechie's
grandmother that she called Boo. The name stuck with the tribe because
there is no "B" sound in their language.
The
man is Andy's impression of the Puma Man as he was morphing into his
feline form... but I think of him as Tysoyaha (Child of the Sun) who
was Pu-Can's husband from the Yuchi tribe. |

| It indeed is a fine cover, Brew. I'm glad you maintained your sanity while trying to remember how to spell those names. |

| In researching the Creek language to get some of the names I used, I
even learned a bit (very small bit) of it, Dick. Written is even
stranger. They use V's for an AW sound, like their word for "thanks" is
MVTO, pronounced maw-do.
I hope you're right, Hairymob, and then if they pick it up I hope the back blurb causes them to BUY IT! lol |
