Hikari asked Shannon Messenger:

Hi again,i wanted to know around when will the title of Keeper book 5 released,and the cover? And i thought of an amazing idea,for you to keep until the end of the Keeper series. So,here goes: Why don't you,Courtney Godbey and/or Jason Chan work on a two-paged art of Sophie and everyone?(Fitz,Linh,Tam,Biana,Keefe,Dex,Marella,Jensi,Stina,Wylie,the Collective,the Council,Alden&Della,Grady&Eda(maybe even Jolie) and all?

Shannon Messenger I'm not certain when the title of Keeper #5 will be released--or the cover (which at this point, even *I* haven't seen). We're still a long ways away from the release--and I'm still currently writing the book. So I'm sure it'll be in the next few months, but I can't say when exactly.

As for your idea, I know many readers would love that (I would too). But that's not something I have any control over. Adding interior art to a book is something determined by my publisher--and something that costs quite a lot of additional money for them, between commissioning the piece of art and all the extra printing costs to include it in the book. So they'd have to feel that adding the art would improve sales in a way that would offset those costs, (publishing is, after all, a business first and foremost) and I'm not sure that it would. So anything is possible, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high.
