@deserthorror If it's not in his hand, I figure it's fair game. Like the Good Candy he left lying around on Nov. 1. :) (This may say more about my parenting style than I want)

@LordTBR_FFA @DWalters_Author @pilgrim406 @WatchfulWizardP This looks great!

COVER REVEAL And Then There is the Bard (And Then There is the Bard, Book 1) by @DWalters_Author Art by @pilgrim406 Preorders and official release date coming soon from @WatchfulWizardP.
