I’m always keen to take my young readers serious I’m always keen to take my young readers seriously and to honor them by not patting them on the head and telling them nothing can ever hurt them. That’s a lie. And they know it’s a lie and stories that lie to them about reality are, in my view, far more dangerous than old fashioned good-vs-evil adventures where the stakes are high and the villains are monsters.

I write stories for courageous kids who know that dragons are real, that they are evil, and that they must be defeated.

Zach Franzen offered several options for the new Helmer adventure cover. Here are some of his awesome designs. It was hard to choose the one that suited the project best. 

We had lots of things to consider, one of them being the relationship with the game. 

In the end, I LOVE our cover. Zach crushed it once again. 

Which is your favorite cover of all the Green Ember books?

Before you hit me with your critical “well, actu Before you hit me with your critical “well, actually,” just take a deep breath and consider what the basic disposition of your life is. When I do that, I am often unhappy with the energy I spend in criticism that could be better used for creation, or curation. 

Criticism IS sometimes a good gesture. It is a crummy posture. 

It’s often lazy, easy, and cowardly. Get in the game. Get in the fight. Do something. Make something. Risk the ire of critics by creating. Be brave.
