I can’t quite believe it, but Ghosts of Greenglass House has just launched in its beautiful new paperback incarnation on July 31! In celebration, I did something I’ve been meaning to do for a year.
Some of you may already have read Ghosts of Greenglass House. If you have, thank you. I love it deeply, even more than I love its predecessor. (Yes, I love Greenglass House. But it was never my favorite among my own books. Ghosts…might be.) And if you’ve read Ghosts, you might remember that there’s a very special deck of cards mentioned in the text. (If you haven’t read it, here’s the thing: there’s a very special deck of cards mentioned in the text.)
I’d been meaning to make a bookmark in the style of a card from a deck like that one, but I never quite got past the initial sketches, possibly due to last year’s other release: my second child, Tess.
But.
Guys. I finished it! Here it is, the Knave of Dials, AKA the Gentleman Maxwell, one of the legendary smugglers of Nagspeake, from the Court of Runners card deck!
I made these from cut paper, ink, watercolor, and pencil. They’re roughly tarot-sized, and make perfect bookmarks, and I would love to send one to you!
Reply to this post with proof of one of the following and I’ll mail a Knave to you (your reply will be kept private):
- Proof of purchase of Ghosts of Greenglass House in hardcover from any retailer;
- Proof of purchase/preorder of Ghosts of Greenglass House in paperback from a brick-and-mortar bookstore of your choosing.
Any purchase from July 2018 onward will qualify, while my supplies last. Want your copy signed or personalized? Order yours from McNally Jackson Books and it can be done.
Happy reading! I hope you love Ghosts as much as I do. And stay tuned! Preorder goodies for Bluecrowne (October 2018) available now too! Click here for more on that…
