A gift from us to you—Christmas Cards from the Good Madame
(who is only interested in righting wrongs and vanquishing injustice, after all…which is almost sort of in the spirit of the season…mostly…)
Based on the art used in the Crachette Pattern from the Dickens of a Christmas Blog Hop—

—what could be better than a selection of sweet, printable cards to send to your creative comrades, handmade for you by our book’s artist Jen Minnis? Here you will find full-color versions of the cards along with b&w cards you can color yourself if you or you’re kids are feeling crafty.

So, Dr Van Helsing cannot know what it is like to doubt himself because of his eyebrows?
I love that. It made me laugh.
I’m really enjoying listening to Dracula. Your comments are always fascinating, entertaining and educational, and your readers are excellent. All the different voices contribute to the listening enjoyment.
Thanks for everything,
Jennifer
