Ready to win what I think is maybe the most awesome prize I’ve ever given away? But then, I’m prejudiced!
As you know, my next novel–the dieselpunk/historical mashup Storming–is coming out December 4th, and to celebrate I’m hosting a fun giveaway every week this month, leading up to the BIG prize drawing on release day.
Storming is a special book for me, different in a lot of ways from anything I’ve ever done before–it’s a fun, adventurous romp, with lots of humor and lots of heart. It’s also the first time that I’ve mixed my two genre loves: historical with a dash of speculative.
And the other first? It’s the first time any of my novels will include custom illustrations. Joanna Marie–of Joanna Marie Art–has been doing artwork for me ever since Behold the Dawn, in which she did the map, and Dreamlander, for which she did the city maps found only in the exclusive reader extras (which you can access via the link in the back of the book).
This time around, we went all out. She did nine amazing sketches for the interior of the book. I’m incredibly excited to get to share them with you when the book comes out–and I’m just as excited to get to literally share the original sketches with one lucky winner today.
The Prize
Joanna and I will be giving away the nine original sketches from the book. Below, you can see just a few. (Note, that the frames in the pic at the top of the post are not included, and the sketches measure 12×16″. That pic was just a bit of Photofunia.)

Hitch Hitchcock, the freewheeling protagonist, flies back to his Nebraska hometown in a JN-4D–or Jenny.
Naturally, I can’t show you anymore than that–both because what fun would that be? And because: SPOILERS. So be ye warned, lucky winner, read the book before you hang them on your walls.
To Enter
You know the drill! It’s Rafflecopter time. Tally up your entries in the widget below. The winner will be posted here next Thursday.
Let’s chat! If you could commission artwork for yourself for any reason, what you ask for? Tell me in the comments!
Great artwork. Since I’m a pilot, my favorite is the bi-plane. I’m sure my wife will read the book, I’ll just look at the pictures 🙂
Illustrations for my Christmas story. Tree ornaments = fun drawings
Fantastic gifts, KM! I am hoping …. @LatelaMary
