I had the fun opportunity to illustrate covers for Victoria Schwab's middle-grade horror series "City of Ghosts" for Chest of Fandoms. It was such a fun world to visualize with gothic castles, ghosts, and other haunting imagery. Perfect for Halloween. Here is the blurb if you are keen to check out the book series:

From #1NYT bestselling author Victoria Schwab comes a sweeping, spooky, evocative adventure, perfect for fans of "Stranger Things" and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

A New York Times bestseller! Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead . . . and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost. So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger. When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift," she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil -- and herself. And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined. #1 NYT bestselling author Victoria Schwab delivers a thrillingly spooky and action-packed tale of hauntings, history, mystery, and the bond between friends (even if that friend is a ghost . . .)

Update: I haven’t been very good about doing these updates, but this has been a ridiculously busy month. 

1. I gave my first conference presentation. I wrote about the alt-right’s use of music in their propaganda and it was well received. 

2. Because of this, my thesis and my job were both put on the backburner, and I didn’t get as much done on either of those as I would like. But I can continue my thesis into the next term, and receive a refund on my tuition if I submit by a certain date, so I’m doing that. 

3. Moving is going really well! I’m really excited to move into my new house and have my own place to live again, after sort of drifting all summer. 

4. I’ve gotten back into recreational reading and I’m really loving it. I forgot how much I like reading, after being in a slump for a long time. But I read V. E. Schwab’s Vicious on the weekend and it was thrilling. I can’t wait to read more, I have a bunch of books from bookoutlet that are on their way to my new house!!

5. I’m very excited for my new program!! My profs have already reached out with some awesome opportunities for me to apply to!

Where there are ghosts, Cassidy Blake follows . . .

Unless it's the other way around?

Cass thinks she might have this ghost-hunting thing down. After all, she and her ghost best friend, Jacob, have survived two haunted cities while traveling for her parents' TV show.
