Blog Tour Review - Crone by Keith Rosson

 Blog Tour Review - Crone by Keith Rosson Eli Lamp is a broken man. An ex-detective, ex-addict, and long-grieving father whose daughter, Hannah, disappeared a decade before, Eli decimated his old life investigating her abduction and is now indebted to the Crooked Wheel, a local drug gang, as an enforcer. He lives in a rundown trailer at the edge of the woods, where he keeps Hannah’s room in pristine condition and tries to make it through one day at a time. But when the son of the Crooked Wheel’s boss is found viciously murdered in a crime scene that doesn’t seem to add up, Eli receives a new order: Find out who the killer is and your debt to the Wheel is clear forever.

Now We Rise Blog tour - Burner



Hi there,

I was thrilled to be asked to be part of the #NowWeRise blog tour for Children of Blood and Bone. If you haven't heard about it yet, Children of Blood and Bone is a big new fantasy novel which draws on western African tradition to give it a really original feel. I read it last week and I loved it. There'll be a (very positive) review coming soon.

 Rather than doing a standard blog tour with reviews and extracts, the people at Macmillan are doing something really different and interesting. They've asked bloggers to produce original content linked to Children of Blood and Bone. I have been meaning to do some more art for ages, and this feels like the perfect opportunity.



My drawing is inspired by an African proverb I found online, "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." This felt like it fit really well both with the African feel of the book and also with the Burner magi clan. One of the most destructive of the clans, Burners control fire, and I wanted to try and capture the idea of a Burner magi who has been rejected, coming back home.



I hope you like it! I'm hoping to bring you more original content inspired by Children of Blood and Bone in the next few days.

      Thank you Cora! This was the first time I've used them in ages, so it was fun to do. Pastel pencils though, much less mess!
