Hapenny Magick, magic in the making…

Many of you know that my first children's book, To Find a Wonder, was published in September of 2009. I'm really excited to tell you that my second book, Hapenny Magick will be released from Pugalicious Press late this fall. The same fabulous illustrator that worked on To Find A Wonder, Pat Ann Lewis-MacDougall is also illustrating Hapenny Magick, and she's given me permission to share her process!

To read an excerpt of Hapenny Magick you can go here. To see the publishers website, visit here. To see more of Pat Ann's work, visit her here.

Below are preliminary sketches of Maewyn, the main character, and her best friend, Leif. The Protector of their village, called the Wedge, is Callum. He is a wizard with a very strange talent. Of course, I will be designing sewing patterns for the main characters– I knew some of you would be asking!
