Good morning my Wolf Pack!

I hope you had a great weekend! A year ago today during the Night Wolf #1-3 Kickstarter campaign I gave away an exclusive Halloween treat to all of the Wolf Pack members, so I thought I would keep up that tradition this year!

Every Wolf Pack member will receive this FREE Pin Up Art featuring the twin witches, Janelle & Circe, by Megan Affolter as a Halloween Treat for backing before the end of Halloween night! All backers at any physical pledge level will receive the FREE Exclusive Janelle & Circe 5x7" print. Backer at the digital pledge level will receive a FREE Exclusive Janelle & Circe Digital Wallpaper.

If you are interested in my some spooky fun stories in honor of Halloween check out David Byrne's new book, Stake Presents: Jessamy #1

Set in the world of Stake, Jessamy sets out to investigate a rumor of blood-drinking monsters in 18th century America. In a world where vampires are real, but still hidden, there is a global network in place to ensure the secret remains hidden. Jessamy is an old vampire (don’t ask how old, it’s impolite) whose job is to keep the secret world of vampires hidden from humanity. When an ally in the New World sends word of rumors of a plantation with monsters eating their slaves, Jessamy is dispatched to investigate and, if necessary, eliminate the threat to the balance between man and vampire.
