Happy Solstice from the Snow Queen!
For those of you interested in Snow Queens and tiny little letter-pressed broadsides…
Michaela Eaves (the cover artist for Becoming the Villainess) designed this 5×7 broadside and it is now available, signed, from me! The font is a little small but otherwise our experiment turned out beautifully. It’s a limited edition of 150 and Michaela gets 75 of those, so they won’t be available forever…
Available for free (signed by the author) with any purchase of Becoming the Villainess from me:

PS Some may receive copies from Santa in their Christmas cards if they’ve been very good. Or bad. I can’t remember how the Snow Queen works. Her morality is very ambiguous and her affections random.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington and the author of Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and SFPA’s Elgin Award, Field Guide to the End of the World. Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing. Her work has been featured on NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily and The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and JAMA.

Looks gorgeous.
I *love* broadsides, and collect them. I will simply have to get one from you — signed, of course!

Just made my purchase. 🙂

Oh, good god, if you would write shorter poems, you’d get a bigger font.

Oh sure, Michaela, that’s just like an artist: “Those writers and all their damn words! If only we could get rid of the words altogether…” LOL
But seriously, good job on the artwork!
Michaela
Thanks, I’m looking forward to seeing them!
