About the cover:

Forest Music by Erika Rae Heins

Forest Music is a painting from my brand-new Afterlives series, original illustrations that focus on the interplay between life and death, exploring stories where endings are
actually beginnings. 

You can find the full painting and the rest of my work on Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/erikaraeheins, and at many fan conventions and similar events in Washington and Oregon.

July is also Disability Pride Month. I made a little thing for it 💜
