It’s hard to believe that it’s already December. Well, not too hard considering the number of Hallmark Christmas movies running on the TV and the commercials pushing gift shopping. To that point, I’m making my pitch for supporting indie artists, authors and small businesses. As we wrap up this year, in more than paper, I rendered a New Year’s Dragon. You might have expected a Christmas Dragon, perhaps? Since I did one last year, I decided a celebration of the upcoming 2023 was more in order.

The Old Year’s Dragon is introducing the baby New Year’s Dragon to the world. Get ready to party! As usual you can find this design with all our other dragons at our Redbubble store. I hope this image conveys optimism and hope for the New Year. For me that will include more than just illustrations. The second novel in The Witch’s Foundling series will be coming out in February 2023. Stay tuned here and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to catch the latest news on the release. If you thought Sally and friends had a hard time in the first book, wait till you read the second. Things are about to get uniquely challenging as the adventure continues.

Consequently, the supernatural threat is unprecedented as well as the price to be paid defeating it. If you’ve picked up a copy of The Witch’s Foundling then you would also have had a glimpse of the teaser I included for the second novel. For those that haven’t, the next novel in the series is called The Secret Cage. You’ll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming weeks and months. Meanwhile, I’ve been playing with iMovies and put together the little trailer below. I hope you get a kick out of it. Talk to you next year.
